This a review of Dance of Desire (A 1001 Dark Nights Novella) by Christopher Rice. I fell in love with Christopher Rice's writing several books ago and his latest work does not disappoint. I will forever be a die-hard Christopher Rice fan. This book comes highly recommended.
Amber Watson wants a man she doesn't think she can have. The only man she has ever wanted is her adopted brother Caleb. Caleb and Amber met and fell in love as kids. Tragedy struck and Caleb was left an orphan. Amber's father decided to adopt Caleb since Caleb basically didn't have any family other than an aunt that didn't exactly lead a very desirable life. Amber's father knew how the two felt about each other and decided to put an end to it because he felt it was just a teenage infatuation and that it would burn out on it's own. It never did. Fast forward to 12 years later and Amber is coming out of a failed marriage and a soon to be ex-husband that is trying to take her father's business away from her. Caleb shows up on the scene and he handles the situation like an expert and manages to save the family business from Amber's soon to be ex-husband. He is still in love with Amber and she with him. Amber is planning on going to the Desire Exchange which is where her deepest sexual fantasy is supposed to be revealed to her. Her mother puts a stop to this by informing Caleb and his jealousy and desire for Amber keeps her from going because he is her deepest desire. She goes to confront her mother but is waylaid by Caleb where the two finally give into their desire for each other. Caleb decides to nullify the adoption and take his own name back. He becomes the new co-owner of the bar with Amber and they get their happily ever after.
