by Julie Anne Long When French ballerina Sylvie Lamoureux crosses the English Channel in search of her long-lost sister, she suddenly finds herself penniless and alone in a shady part of town. Luckily, the very handsome, very British, Tom Shaughnessy is more than eager to come to her rescue with a job opportunity. The problem, however, lies in the fact that he runs a seedy theater in which he employs women to do an entirely different kind of dancing than Sylvie is accustomed to performing. This strange predicament raises several questions. Will Sylvie be able to reconnect with her sister after all these years? Will the other dancers learn to accept the sophisticated Sylvie into their raunchy little dance company? Will Tom be able to gather together enough investors to someday start a more family-oriented entertainment emporium? Will Sylvie and Tom be able to overcome all their obstacles, including lack of money, another man, and an illegitimate child, to find happiness together? Will the two lovers ever run out of ways to be wicked up in his tiny bedroom above the theater? Ways to be Wicked is an entertaining romp set among a bawdy theatrical production full of colorful, larger-than-life characters (or in the case of Tom’s diminutive associate "The General," somewhat smaller-than-life). Just as Tom requires patience in seducing his newest dancer, the reader requires patience as well. In this 384-page book, the lovers don’t experience their first kiss until two-thirds into the story. Trust me; it’s worth the wait. |
