Description

Everyone has their dirty little secrets. Right? When you’re the outcast you can’t afford one though. Four years ago, my life was destroyed when I was forced to leave New York. Now, I have one chance to fix everything.

There are a few things standing in my way. Like my hot billionaire boss. The stoic and moody one who’s dark eyes follow me like a hawk’s. He’s distant and cold, but when we’re forced to spend a weekend together, I discover something unexpected—the massive heart hiding under his gruff exterior.

A forbidden romance with my off-limits boss could be the end of me. But what if it’s the beginning? Choosing between love and my job is an impossible decision—I never thought I’d be forced to make.

That’s if one dirty little secret doesn’t ruin everything. Curtain Call is a steamy workplace billionaire romance set in the passionate world of dance. It is Book 1 in the Driven Dance Theater series.

This is a second edition. There is no cliffhanger or cheating, and it ends with a hard-won happily ever after.

Everyone has their dirty little secrets. Right? When you’re the outcast you can’t afford one though. Four years ago, my life was destroyed when I was forced to leave New York. Now, I have one chance...

Brianna Stark’s Curtain Call is an enchanting blend of passion, resilience, and redemption. This dance-infused spicy romance seamlessly intertwines the beauty of performance with the raw emotion of a budding love story, creating a narrative that’s as captivating as it is heartfelt.

At the heart of the story is Branwen, a relatable and deeply compelling protagonist whose past struggles resonate with readers. Her journey of overcoming personal challenges and reclaiming her place in the world of dance is both inspiring and emotionally charged. Stark brilliantly conveys Branwen’s vulnerabilities while celebrating her strength, offering a protagonist who feels genuine and multifaceted.

The novel’s balance between the technical world of dance and the fiery romance is one of its standout features. Stark vividly captures the artistry and discipline of dance, making it a rich backdrop for the romance to unfold. The chemistry between Branwen and her romantic interest is electric, building tension and depth that keeps readers invested in their story.

What sets Curtain Call apart is its message of resilience. Through Branwen’s struggles and triumphs, Stark illustrates the power of perseverance and self-belief, crafting a narrative that inspires as much as it entertains.

For readers who enjoy a romance with emotional depth, strong character development, and a unique setting, Curtain Call is a must-read. Brianna Stark delivers a story that’s as uplifting as it is steamy, leaving a lasting impression.

Dance and theater are long time loves of mine. I was thrilled to see a billionaire romance combining those two. This title from Stark was entertaining right away. It didn't take long for me to get invested in the main characters and what would happen to them. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Dancing, hot (RICH) boss, problematic ex-friend, romance, spice - this had it all. It was a great read, nothing fancy about it just a good, old fashioned romance drama.

Chemistry between the main characters was perfect, the friendships kept the side story interesting and funny, and the drama with the ex-friend kept me on my toes. As an ex-dancer myself the dance setting was well received and I loved Branwen's dedication and bravery. I thought the characters were well developed and the storyline well thought out.

A great summer read!

Branwen is a FMC who returns to New York City after four years away.
She had previously left after a social media post, but has now returned after sacrificing her body for the director of the company she had been dancing for. She is broke, without money, alone, and in desperate need.
She meets Kent Morgan, a renowned choreographer with a premiere dance company in New York.
He offers her a job, and they begin to work together.
Despite their initial struggles, they find that they have a strong chemistry and need each other's support.
Kent is not the arrogant alpha male type she expected, but rather a thoughtful and passionate individual who is also under pressure to make difficult decisions. She admires and respects him for his strength and determination.
