For all the times you felt invisible of wasted energy wishing the wrong people would notice.
I’m here
….And I see you
If the dedication didn’t get you hooked, hopefully you’ll take the plunge into this retelling of Jax Frost with Swan Lake vibes.
I’m not really familiar with the original telling of Jax Frost and you don’t either. This book is amazing! Spoilers are most likely to be below so heads up!
…and for the first time that I can remember in my dance career, I wish I was invisible
We meet Jolie, a professional ballerina in the aftermath of the horrible day that changed her life forever. Her mother is gone and the Institute she has been with for years no longer wants her. But she is getting a second chance at living her dream with this new company.
Reading about Jolie’s love for dance, brought me back to my own dance days. Finding the joy in the movements to the music, expressing more than words ever could. Reminding me of learning all the ballet positions I had to learn. Sometimes wishing I could go back, or be able to move my body like that again. As I can no longer move my body like I used to, I’ve become more in tune with the music, the melodies, the tones, the chord progression and the moves I could do or would do for the song. Even though I’m not as young my love and appreciation for dance has never wavered
…. there’s something intimate about letting go to the music. A few minutes of defying gravity holding us back.
Of freedom
She’s a fighter (who may not think it), she doesn’t give up when things get hard. She pushes herself despite the injuries. The injuries seem to be a motivator for her, to work hard at getting back to the ballerina she was before the accident
Not even this injury can hold me back from making the most of this second chance at my ballet career.
Everyone wants to believe that their significant other feels the same way you do about them. But sometimes you meet someone who isn’t what you thought, who doesn’t shine a light on you, but hogs it for themselves, oh and sweet talking, knows exactly what to say to get you in bed. Unfortunately Jolie seems to be in that situation with her former dance parent Blake. Dating in secret for almost a year, not wanting other people from the institute to know about their relationship. Now that Jolie is no longer at the institute this would be the perfect time to bring their relationship to the spotlight… I’ve gone through it before and wondered why I wasn’t good enough to be in their spotlight or why the world couldn’t know about us. However, there is someone who will always shine the light on you, to tell the world that you are theirs
Lark, the best friend we all need in life. Who stands up for you, supports you and overall an amazing person who you couldn’t live life without. Someone you can tell your crazy stories and believes you about the magical man who brings winter to the world, who is also your mate.
“You deserve someone who listens, wants to learn you and your body inside and out, sees your presence in their life for the gift that it is, You deserve someone who makes you feel alive.”
Jax is a harbinger who brings winter to the mortal world, one thing he is never supposed to do is interfere with mortals. How can he stay away when the one person-his mate- in the world/worlds can’t see him or better yet believe in him?
She couldn’t see me because my mate, the one I’d waited my lifetime for, destined to be mine, was mortal
I could not imagine walking this earth without my person-mate, and having to watch them, listen to them but to have your mate not even know of your existence would be unbearable.
Going day by day watching her from the shadows either in his humanoid or in his wolf form- the form mortals can see. How do you convince someone to believe in you when all of Jolie’s life and everyone else’s thinks you as a story-make believe? Persistence, playing it cool and collected, being there for her even when she can’t see you.
“I need you to do something for me.”… all I want is to breathe in the belief he has in me, in us, right back into him. To make it all a reality.
“Anything for you, Tempest”
“Kiss me”
The dedication to his mate is unbelieve the kind of connection everyone wants. Almost letting the connection to Jolie consume him, he has friends to keep him grounded and to remind him of what his dream was before knowing about Jolie. I love the relationship Jax has with his fathers. How kind and caring they are of their son, even when they don’t agree with his actions or decisions, you can still feel the love. Even if Aneira-Jax’s best friend doesn’t fully understand Jax’s obsession she supports him and teases him about it a little, but what are friends for?
