Summary

Adrianna Rossi is no stranger to the rigorous demands required of her body. Years of pain and determination make her one of the best. Olympic glory is the ultimate goal, and she'll do anything to achieve it. Even if that means leaving home to attend World Cup Academy of Gymnastics, a training center that serves one purpose - producing champions.

Perfection, precision, and dedication are required of his athletes. When two time Olympian Konstantin Kournakova is persuaded into training the young hopeful, he immediately regrets it. She doesn't come close to his high standards. As the relentless pursuit of her dream keeps her striving, a passion is ignited within him.

Kova's power and domination, coupled with Adrianna's fierce tenacity, reveal there is more for her body to learn. Every interaction can be misconstrued, but there’s no mistaking the darkening of his gaze, the lingering of his touch, or the illicit image of his bare skin pressed against hers. Integrity is on the line. One toe off the beam and their forbidden desires could ruin everything they’ve worked for, throwing it all off balance.

Lucia Franco, a name I’ve seen over and over but hadn’t indulged in. Now, of course, I am kicking myself. Her writing is superb. I know she pushed the boundaries with the initial release of this book and to be able to continue to be successful with it she had to make changes. I understand her reasons for doing it, but still believe that the fact this is called a taboo book, she shouldn't have had to do it. But, one must appease the masses.

Adrianna, Anna, Ria, whatever you wanna call her, I love her. She is no dummy. She may have been raised a certain way but when you see what she isn’t afraid to do later on in the book, you will think the same. She’s human, and honestly regardless of our age, there comes a point in our life that we want to experiment, we feel things we aren’t too sure of, and one can’t help the person we become pulled to and attracted to.

Kova, oh man, the sexy older, ex- Russian gymnast. Swoon. Yup he’s a butt, but he’s also a man that has given into temptation.

I will not place all the fault and blame on Kova. After reading the story, Adrianna knew what she wanted and what she was doing. And guess what people, this is real freaking life. Regardless of age, things happen, it’s not always predatory or grooming. Sometimes feelings can’t be helped. And that’s what I will walk away with from this story.

Love the way it was written, look forward to reading more and seeing how things progress.

Sarah Puckett did an amazing job narrating this story. She played Adrianna perfectly and was perfect with her accent so we knew when Kova was speaking.

Audio ARC received and I decided to leave an honest review.

My first age gap read and wow I loved the entire series listened to the first 3 on audible and read the last two. Sarah the narrator is one of my favourites if not my favourite she really brings the story to life. Even days after finishing this series can’t stop thinking about Kova and Ria. My first Lucia book but can’t wait to read more

Incredible wow just wow!

This was so intense, everything about this story was intense - the training- the lies - the spice - the friendships.
Where will we go from here?

Well well well

This book kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning all the way until the cliffhanger at the end. I love Adrianna and Kova and their messed up story. It is forbidden, steamy, and laced with sexual tension and conflict. I can't wait to continue on with the next book in this series. Sarah Puckett is an amazing narrator and does an awesome job with both the male and female characters. Her Kova voice and accent is pretty hot and sexy.
