Description

A billionaire ballet patron with a dark secret. A beautiful, penniless young dancer who’s his student. The forbidden fling that turns into a sizzling, scandalous affair. I’m a reclusive billionaire with just one weakness… my ballet student Kaia. I’m obsessed with her from the moment I make eye contact with her. I want more. Need more. I’m determined to have her all to myself, no matter how much it costs me. I make Kaia an offer that she can’t refuse. Sign a contract. Move into my penthouse. Give me her body and soul for one year. Don’t tell a soul that I will be her ballet patron and her master. In exchange, she’ll get cold hard cash and the chance to live out her dreams as a ballerina. All she has to do is sign on the dotted line. If you love off limits, forbidden student-teacher romances, wild nights at gentlemen’s clubs, and a handsome billionaire doing whatever it takes to get the woman they want, this book is made for you! It's the first of three books in a lavish, decadent, sizzlingly hot trilogy and features no cheating + an (eventual) HEA.

  • Intriguing

    Calum is dark and mysterious looking for all the wrong things until the right person falls into his lap-literally. Her dancing intrigues him and causes him to obsess over her. Their connection is undeniable but there’s always someone waiting to destroy it. Great read!
  • Couldn’t get past first chapter

    I was very excited to read about a ballerina by day, stripper by night however, the author clearly was not a dancer nor did their homework on ballet classes. It was very distracting trying to read the story when so much of the dance part was incorrect. Overall very disappointing.

    I’m one of those people who REALLY hates when it is not plainly stated that a book is NOT a standalone. I won’t read any more of this author’s work.

    This is book one of the Broken Slipper series and d@*n this book was heart stopping!! Everything in this book was full of passion, broken promises, desire and betrayals thrown in. Calum is a dark Billionaire who is ruthless in all he does. He is full of demons from his past that mad him who is. This past also has a way of crushing him. Kaia is a young ballet student who doesn't really know her true beauty, because of the verbal abuse form those closest to her. She takes on a job at Club X to pay for the demands of her father. What happens when Calum and Kaia's paths cross? Will the rules be broken? I can't wait for book two with the cliffhanger of this book.

    I thought the story line was interesting but there were so many errors, it was kind of hard to get through. Switches between voices in the middle of a chapter...grammar mistakes...at one point, Kaia’s cat was referred to as a “him” in one sentence and a “her” in the next. I’m aware that the ebook version isn’t always as perfect as the hard copy but this was overboard.

    Wow!! This was such a good story. Kaia is a ballet dancer and has always wanted to dance for a company. She has her eyes set on NYB. To make ends meet and to help pay off her debt to her father she works at Club X. That is very forbidden for ballet dancers, but she is very careful on not getting caught. One night there she meets Calum and he is intrigued by her. He knows she has had ballet training and that is one thing that draws him to her. While they work out an agreement, things are brought to life. She has a father who is a sick and twisted arse. He has a ballerina who is crazy as a nut and wants him. There is lots of drama, angst, crazy hateful people and some twists. This took me on an emotional ride and the ending, OMGosh!!! I couldn’t put it down until I was done. Vivian pulled me into the ballet world and has left me wanting the next one quickly. I can’t wait to read The Dancer to see what will happen next.

    I've read several books written by Vivian Wood; she has done a great job at writing this fabulous story; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books. The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book. I need more....please
