Lily and Kahu’s story was very enjoyable and not quite the typical forbidden romance. Even though this is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone. Lily is a dancer. She is also a cancer survivor. After a three-year battle she’s ready to get back into the dancing scene. During an audition she is crushed when she’s told her dancing lacks passion. Lily concocts a plan to seduce her father’s friend, Kahu. She sets things in motion hoping if he takes her virginity that she’ll finally know what passion feels like and it’ll make her a better dancer. Kahu is damaged and broken with the belief he’ll never be whole again. He tries denying her because he knows the only thing he’ll do is hurt her. But soon the attraction is too much to fight. Lily and Kahu’s story was slow building but the pay off was well worth it.
