She gave up a promising dancing career for her young brother’s sake. Can she trust the charismatic prince who saved them both, but never speaks of commitment?
Natalie Borikev’s dream is finally materializing—standing ovations, calls of “encore” and “bravo,” and a fabulous contract to dance on a Las Vegas stage. But if she stays in Vegas, she may lose her young brother to a drug addiction.
Eric … addiction.
Eric Devereux fell under Natalie’s spell after watching her perform. But a streak of bad luck in gambling makes it necessary to flee to his family in Boston. Escaping from Las Vegas seems as crucial for his favorite dancer, who is about to be caught in the clutches of an unscrupulous billionaire.
Once they travel to Boston together to start a new life, nothing is as Natalie expected. Her charming rescuer is actually a prince with bright prospects, and though he loves her, he never speaks of a future together. Meanwhile, she lost everything—her budding career as a dancer, and even her brother’s affection.
Can she get past her regrets and rebuild her career? And can she trust the man who lavishes her with kisses but won’t commit?

Sometimes you have to nearly lose everything to come out a winner, like the heroine Natasha Borikev in this awesome tale written by the talented Mona Risk, A Dance For Prince Eric (Modern Prince Series Book 5). (This story is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone, but why not read the entire series?)
For this reader, a prince is always a welcome addition to a romance, especially when the prince rescues a young lady being hounded by an evil doer intent on having his way with an innocent woman. In A Dance For Prince Eric, our hero has not only fallen on hard times due to his gambling habits, he’s also fallen hard for Natalie, the dancer Hugh the Nasty Producer covets.
Eric is an honorable man and Natalie (formally known as Natasha) fall in love, but after all they’ve been through together, questions still remain: will Eric commit and do the right thing regarding his lady? Will Her brother Brian ever get over Natalie’s best intentions to keep him from harm?
Find out by reading this endearing story, because I never do spoilers – but, on a side note, as a fan of
the ballet, and a former dancer myself, I loved how Ms. Risk used the the proper terminology for the steps and techniques used by ballerinas. Nice hook for this reader. Bravo, Ms. Risk. Five golden stars.
I love this series!
