Review: Waking Kiss (BDSM Ballet #1) By Annabel Joseph



Synopsis
A stranger in the wings, a traitorous pair of toe shoes, and a traumatic turn dancing with The Great Rubio… For ballerina Ashleigh Keaton, it’s been one hell of a night.

But it’s not over yet. When Rubio drags her to a private BDSM party at his friend’s house in the ritzy part of London, she meets Liam Wilder, a lifestyle dominant and frighteningly seductive man. Liam pursues Ashleigh, attracted by her strength and talent, but she has secrets—an abusive past and a crippling fear of intimacy that prevents her from connecting to anyone, especially a kinky playboy reputed to be legendary in bed.

Eventually he wins her trust and sets out to heal the troubled dancer, awakening her to a world of erotic obedience and sensual abandon in a series of “sessions” at his home. But how pure are his motives? Is he helping her or endangering her fragile soul? Liam hides his own destructive secrets, and so does Fernando Rubio, their temperamental friend. Over time the three become embroiled in a tangle of artifice, fears, and lies that threaten to undo everything they’ve worked for.

Will Ashleigh and Liam find the strength to defeat their demons? Or are they cursed to sleepwalk through life forever, afraid to experience the passion and intimacy of love?

My Review
4.5 Intriguing,Emotional, Love Heals All Stars!!


This is a story of how two damaged people help each other..try to fix each other..

It all starts off when Ashleigh is having a bad day and Liam appears and helps her out..She is a ballet dancer and uses dance as a means to escape..
To escape a horrifying past and painful memories
To escape everything that makes her uncomfortable
She needs to dance
Dancing gives her a sense of control


"Ballet has always been a compulsion for me, not a pleasure....
It’s a survival thing."


When she is thrust into the arms of her idol, Rubio and told to dance, things go from bad to worse.

Liam is a calm confident player who uses women to fulfill his needs and desires.
He doesn't do relationships
he doesn't get attached
he takes pleasure
And he has all the control

After a terrible day Ashleigh ends up being dragged to a so called party where she meets Liam again...But this isn't a normal party it's a BDSM party..

Liam thinks its his lucky day he was attracted to Ashleigh from the moment he saw her and now she is in his house so obviously she is into the BDSM lifestyle or she is curious about it, either way its a win win situation for Liam right?....Wrong!


“When I asked you about the lifestyle you thought I was talking about....?”
“Ballet.”
“And when I mentioned a play room, you thought...”
“Pool tables, maybe. Pacman.” She rubbed her forehead. “I’m disappointed about the Pacman.”


After finding out that Rubio had dragged her along he is disappointed and he knows he should let her but he just cant.After finding out more about her past he decides to help her..Little does Ashleigh know that Liam has secrets of his own.

I didn't expect half of the stuff that happened in this book, I was surprised and intrigued.It was an emotional journey, a story of two lost souls, healing together and trying to overcome their past..

I really enjoyed this book! I was captivated right from the start and I just couldn't put this book down..

Oh oh and Rubio? well he was something else! I have a soft spot for him even though he pissed me off at the start..He made me laugh and I really wanted to know more about him, why is he the way he is?

“Whatever,” Ruby said with a petulant curl of his lip. “Is your problem, Liam. Your stupidity. You can kiss my round Brazilian ass.”

And wait a min next book is about him??!
