Another entry for my "so bad, it's funny" shelf!!!

I knew it was going to be bad and I was sort of looking forward to the craziness but this surpassed even my expectations.

The plot is as follows: Shanna is a ballroom dancer and a few days before her big competition, she receives a video of her dance partner having a threesome in public. With it, she receives a blackmailing note saying that if she follows through with the competition, the blackmailer will show the video to the judges. Unbeknownst ...more

3.5 stars

I think this is one of those cases about timing. I mean that in the sense that had I read this book a few years back, I probably would’ve enjoyed it more. It has Shayla Black’s distinct stamp of erotic suspense that I normally really enjoy. But I do find that with a shorter story like this it can be hard to tie in a good suspense storyline and a romance that in this case doesn’t have much of a backstory.

Wow!! This was such a great read!! OMG, if you want a hot quickie this is definitely the read for you!! Good lord I was scorched many a time, almost from the very start!

The story is good and the characters interesting, but the real deal here is all the smexy stuff! This book does not skimp on the hawt action! This is one of those reads where voyeurism is a key element. Much of the action occurs in a private sex club, so be prepared for that angle. Also have a couple buckets or ice cream ready, ...more

Shanna York had one goal set that she must achieve. She needed to be a champion in the ballroom. She just held to tight to the dream and drove of numerous partners in the process.

Alejandro Diaz has set his sights on one woman. The one that has push and pushed and had garnered a not so nice reputation. He still wanted her. Alejandro goes after what he wants.

Shanna and Alejandro find that their passions can open up many doors.

This was a hot, hot read with very sexy accent males.

So Good

I loved this book and was hooked from the first page. Loved the instant heat between Alejandro (Ali) and Shanna. Why was she given a video about her dancing partner? Will they get disqualified due to the judges if they view the recording? Will she choose her career over Ali or will she realize she can have both? Had some tears when he Dad talks to her about her Mom. I really loved the happy ever after. It’s a great book and I highly recommend reading this.

Of the hook, started off with blackmail of her ballroom dance partner. What happens after that is unbelievable breath-taking. I wish there was a continuation,.... the story was a little to short.. BUT FRiCKIN fantastic.

Shanna York is an extremely driven and talented ballroom dancer. Some might go as far, as to call her a bitch. The trouble is that she has the reputation for running through dance partners that don't suit her. She's pretty happy with her current partner, but unfortunately his extracurricular activities might not sit well with the straight laced judges. To bad someone has it out for her, and has decided to blackmail her with a video of her partner from a fetish club.

This was such sexy, short re Shanna York is an extremely driven and talented ballroom dancer. Some might go as far, as to call her a bitch.

To bad someone has it out for her, and has decided to blackmail her with a video of her partner from a fetish club.

This was such sexy, short read. I tend not to pick up stand alone books or novellas. But WATCH ME really packs in a lot of storyline in such a short audiobook. I would have loved it to have been just a little bit longer, so I could spend more time in Shanna and Alejandro's world. However, I did have to look past the "insta-love" that is a necessity of such a short story.

The two main characters were extremely entertaining and had wonderful chemistry! Their heat jumped off the page. Even though Shanna could come a crossed as hard and sometimes difficult, she's got such a great heart deep down. I enjoyed how Alejandro saw straight threw her persona. He was able to break down her walls, and give her things that she never even knew she needed.

I know I'm dating myself by saying this, but it reminded me of the 1992 movie The Cutting Edge. I don't mean that in a negative way, since I loved this movie growing up. It's about a girl who blows through teammates, like it's her job. Just replace dancing for figure skating.

I only have one criticism for this story. I felt that the blackmail scene in the beginning was unnecessarily gratuitous and over the top. I am in no way a prude. I love my sexy book...EXTRA sexy! The scene just felt forced. I know it needed to be scandalous, but I felt like the author used every trick in the porn book to do it. It actually, almost made me stop listening. I think that for such a short story, the word count would have been better used on hot scene between Shanna and Alejandro.

This was the first time, that I've listen to Sasha Dunbrooke's narration. I'm extremely tough on narrators! If the narration doesn't add additional layers to the story, I might as well read the book for myself. So I was surprisingly impressed with Sasha! Her character voices were distinct and spot-on. I was specifically impressed with the way she portrayed Alejandro character. Her pacing and dictation were phenomenal. She really brought this story to life for me. Bravo Sasha! She has landed herself on my Must Listen list of narrators.

This was just a delightful short listen! Overall, I felt that the author pulled together deep storyline in a short audiobook. I enjoyed spending some time in both the dancing and sex club worlds. I loved the juxtaposition between the two. I think that Shelley Bradley and Sasha Dunbrooke make a great pair! I would recommend this audiobook for anyone who's looking to escape into a sexy world for a few hours.

Shanna and Alejandro- main characters of the book
This book was awesome..i loved every single part and couldn't tear my eyes off of the book for one second...well i had to go eat so i took myes off of the book for about an hour but thats not the point here. This book has something unique about it, and i knew that since the time i started to read the summary of this book till now.
The book starts off with Shanna being furious because her partner kristoff was recorded at a nightclub doing/having a threesome. Shanna is scared to death about the video and the threat that the person who recorded the video sent to her, and later on once she finds out that alejandro is the owner of that nightclub, she plans to ask for his help in finding the person...
Alejandro had been asked for help from Shanna and so they plan out to do a sex scene infront of a bunch of people to see if anyone is breaking the club rules nad recording them. first time failed, because noone was caught recording them. and second time that they did the scene a few days later( i think) nothing was ccaught either)noone was caught). Shanna relizes in the end that she's falling in love/ she is in love with aljandro, and relizes that she can't be without him. At the end shanna wins the trophy, she finds out who sent the recorded video and the threat( just ask Kristoff because he knows who did it), and Alejandro confesses his love to Shanna by proposing to her with an engagement ring.!

The Story: Watch me follows the life of Shanna York, a particularly obsessive professional ballroom dancer who has been proclaimed as the, "B***h of the ballroom."

The Story: Watch me follows the life of Shanna York, a particularly obsessive professional ballroom dancer who has been proclaimed as the, "B***h of the ballroom." She goes through dance partners almost as fast as she goes through dance costumes and she believes winning is all that's important. Then, her dance partner gets videotaped in a couple compromising positions with a couple romantic partners of his, the whole scene is videotaped and was done in front of an audience, and the video-taper is trying to blackmail Shanna by threatening to show the video to the judges at the next competition. Shanna knows that such an occurrence would ruin her chances of winning the competition with the conservative judges, and she can either pick a new partner yet again, setting her back with this year's competition, or she can find out exactly who is trying to blackmail her.

Enter Alejandro Diaz, the owner of the club where Shanna's partner performed for said audience. Alejandro is a sexy Latin man who has wanted Shanna since he first met her. He wants nothing more than to melt her icy exterior and find out exactly who she is. When Shanna comes to him to request he help her find out who is blackmailing her, he comes up with the perfect plan, one that's equally beneficial for both of them.

The Narration: From the first sentence, I loved the narrator. She really fits Shanna's icy personality and hidden softness. She also does a wonderful job portraying the hot and heavy moments so that the listener can really picture what's going on. Sasha even does a pretty good job with the male voices and the accents, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her.

The Verdict: This is a book filled with steam, exhibitionism and lust. Still, I had some misgivings, there was a portion near the end where things seemed to rushed and too HEA too soon. I don't believe the feelings were rushed between the two main characters, but I do believe the decisions as a result of those feelings were rushed. I give this book 4 stars. I would recommend it to anyone who likes erotica with sexy foreign men and ice queen women getting brought down to their secretly mushy selves. ...more

A nice read. I had not read a romance novel that included ballroom dancing so this was something different.

Shanna is a ballroom champion involved in a blackmail scandal and decides she'll do whatever it takes to deal with the situation and make it go away.

Alejandro is part owner in a exhibitionist/voyeur club and is more than willing to help Shanna with her problem.

This book has some pretty intense sexy scenes, but is overall predictable, but good. ...more

Totally hot and romantic at the same time. A woman that has chosen to bury her feelings as deep as possible and a man determined to warm her lonely heart and reveal her soft and sensual personality. I really liked this book. It has a little bit of everything there should be in a good book, but I would have liked it even more if those self-realization moments were a bit more intense. That is all that is keeping me from giving it a fourth star, I'm somewhere in the middle. ...more

Now this short book packed all the heat and passion I expect from a Shayla Black novel in one small punch. Honestly maybe it's a little of my own kink coming through but honestly this book was almost too hot for me to read. Shanna and Alejandro scorch the pages. The passion exuded from them especially when they dance is palpable. I got lost in the pages and was sad it ended so quickly. 5 amazing stars from me. ...more
