I’m pretty familiar with Erin’s work and totally expected to have a few WTF moments, a few tears, and a roller coaster of emotions. She did not disappoint, to say the least! I’m completely enthralled and wrapped up in the Alder boys and what exactly makes them tick. Who are they and what have they gone through to get to this point they’re at when they meet Whisper?
Ahhhh, and Whisper! She’s so fierce, has been through hell, and completely is a badass. The things this girl has gone through totally hurts my heart. But she takes that and she fights back so hard. It’s beautiful to see. Even when Steele pushes her beyond her limits she keeps pushing back.
The twists in this book had my jaw drop a couple of times. When secrets come to light, their worlds change and I’m here for it!
I found myself cheering, tearing up, and wanting to reach in the book and whoop somebody a few times. I loved the mix of music and dance throughout. It says a lot that it’s how Whisper was able to cope and deal with so much.
I can’t wait to see what’s next! Winner, Winner chicken dinner with a side of fries! 😉
OMG was what I was thinking while reading this book. I loved every minute of it. The Alder brothers were some mean as f$%^ They did what they wanted when they wanted and how they wanted. I felt bad for Whisper but she held her own. She did not let them get the best of her. She was bullied but she fought back to.
This is a must read and I can’t wait to get book two in my hands because I want to know what happens next.
This really was an unexpected Gem, i went in blind with this one and so Glad that i did. Loved and lucky i read it and a few days later part 2 came out so i got to read both Steele’s story and Callen. These boys are alpha males at their finest
Wow! I loved this book. All the emotions ! This book is so much more than just a bully story. It is about how secrets, family, fate, determination and pure stubbornness can get you through a lot in this life and for others try to drag you down. The Alder brothers rule everything in Rolling Springs. They think they have power over everyone. Then Whisper comes in as the new girl. She has a spine made of steel and takes nothing that anyone dishes out. She stands on her own. Can she take Steele? Are they friends or more? Can sdhe let down her walls for him? Will he stand up for her? The push and pull between them is intense. Their chemistry is smoking hot. What will be the out come? Check thus book out and see! A must read. I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy from the author.
This is a different genre for Erin Trejo, but as usual, she writes it well. This book takes place in a high school in a town run by one family, the Alders. Whisper ends up in foster care in town. Immediately, the Alder brothers show their dislike for her. Erin wrote another hit with one.
I love this author’s MC series and she proved that she slays any genre. I loved this book. Whisper has had a tough life but she keeps rolling with the punches. I’m excited for the next book in the series.

I started reading this not knowing what to expect. I loved Whisper’s fight and how no matter what life threw her she held her head up. I didn’t like the Alder brothers in the beginning. They were cruel and mean. I still had my reservations about them in the end. This is a dark read but it worked for me. I hope the next book comes out soon. You never know what to expect with this author and that is one of the main reasons I love reading her books.
Genre: Dark College/ Bully Romance
About the book: Whisper has had a hard life but dance transforms everything for her. She finally has the chance at a new life when she meets and impresses the Alder brothers. They wonder who she is and what she is hiding.
Review: I always find multiple POV books to be a quicker read for me. This was a quick read but it wasn’t just fluff. I enjoyed the story and all of its twists and turns. I am looking forward to the continuation
Overall Rating (Out of 5 stars): 4 stars
This story hits the ground running and at first glance, it appears like it’s going to be your typical bully romance. But, there is so much more to this story than meets the eye. This story is thrilling and unexpected. The characters are intense and just suck you in to their story. Dance for me is a refreshing and exciting take on the bully romance genre and I can’t wait to experience more from this series….
Dance For Me is a total guilty pleasure read. For me, this book was fun and sexy. It had some great darkness and unexpected turns. I loved the dancing and the chemistry between the characters. There was great tension and I loved the push and pull. The Alder 3 are a force to be reckoned with. They are intense and arrogant. You definitely don’t want to wind up on their bad side. That being said, when they care about something or someone, they go all in. The Alder 3 are more than meets the eye and each have a sweet side that is just dying to come out.
We can’t forget about Whisper! Whisper is a total bad@ss!! I love how fierce and unexpected she was. She took the cards life dealt her and just kept picking herself back up. She didn’t let anything take her down and wasn’t about to fall victim to 3 mean boys. So, it should come as no surprise that I loved Whisper and Steele together. Steele had a job to do, but couldn’t fight the way that Whisper made him feel. She made him feel alive and made his black heart beat. And boy, did she ever bring out his alpha side!! I just loved it.
Overall, I thought this book was a pretty great read. I had a hard time putting it down. My only complaint was that I do feel like the ending was a tad bit rushed. I would have liked to have seen the climax of the story play out a little more. That being said, I do feel like the author wrapped up Steele and Whisper’s story pretty well. Their story was a total guilty pleasure for me and I enjoyed every single second of it. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to seeing where she will take this series next.
Whisper is new on town and already has enemies, she is looking for a fresh start from the terrible live she has had. The most popular guys in school are targeting her and she doesn’t know why. When they find out things are not what they think, things change. This book contains all the feelings.
Loved this book! When Whisper and the Triple A’s collide secrets and hidden truths about all of their lives are revealed, love blooms and a new pact is formed. Follow along as the four of them start off as enemies and end up being co-conspirators in a world full of secrets, lies, deceit, twisted secrets, hidden agendas and so much more.
3.5 stars
This was a bully romance with a splash of mafia feel in a NA setting. Pros: very HOT moments, intriguing overall plot! Cons: I wanted to relate to Whisper a little more than I did – I wanted more fleshing out of her backstory instead of the vague flashbacks in many places. The triple A’s felt wishy-washy and at moments their bully crossed the line for me.
Definitely going to continue with this series!
4.5 Stars!

This was my first Erin Trejo book and I was not disappointed! This book was hot with secrets and darkness mixed in!
Whisper was a strong, no fucks given female and I really loved her character. She was real and a little fucked up (but who wouldn’t be with her past). Her personality made all three of the boys like her, after some bullying of course. But she stood tall and remained strong.
’ , . ’ .
Then there are the Triple A’s. Each has their own personality and role within the family. But they are as close as you can be and are strongest together. I loved each of them!
The only issue that I had with the book is that the ending felt rushed. There was more I wanted to know about Whisper’s past and things that were said that I wish there was more detail or explanation about. I also wish an important scene at the end hadn’t been skipped over. We learn the outcome in the epilogue but I wish we got to see it happen.
Even with that issue, it was still a great book! I will definitely be reading the next one and more of Erin’s books.
Erin Trejo did a great job on this story. Dance For Me had a strong plot, it was written well with many emotions. It’ll take you on a rollercoaster. The characters were strong. Whisper, she was a fighter, she had been through a lot in her, nothing about it has been easy. Let’s just say her and Steele’s relationship didn’t start out on the right foot. Steele was a hard one, but I thought Whisper ended up bring out a better side. They were drawn to each other, their attraction and chemistry was strong between them, even with their bumpy relationship. It’s hard to say much, without giving anything away so I’m just going to stop there and suggest just reading it. It was a great story and I’m looking forward to reading more of this series.
Thank you, Erin Trejo. Great work 🙂
This was a great billy romance! Whisper hasn’t a easy life at all being a foster kid and when she ends up at a new home all she notices at first is the town seems off slightly and then she meets the Adler brothers who are there to make her life miserable and miserable they do. Even though Steele is meant to be her tormenter he also is worried about the way she makes him feel. This story had tons of secrets and twists and can’t wait for more from this series
5 SEXY AMAZING STARS!! Wow, this was one of those quick exciting books that keep you on the edge of your seat. Get ready for lots of twists and turns, so strap yourself in for a bumpy ride. This was my first book by this author and I can’t wait to read more.
I normally enjoy books by this author but for me this was just an ok read. Maybe my expectations were unrealistic but I had invisioned this would be a slice of bully with elements of a dance movie similar to Step Up but it wasn’t. There is no lead up to the very definite darker elements in this story instead it’s very in your face from the start before we even get started to know the characters. The two main characters Whisper and Steele frustrated me because I never felt a deeper connection apart from a sexual one and I really wanted more. Even when the book had finished I never felt like I had got to know them well. There was not enough of the dancing in the story, the few times it was there it felt like filler rather than an essential part of who Whisper was. The premise of this book was good but it didn’t hit the mark for me.
Another phenomenal story by this author. She really knows how to write bully romance!! This town is full of secrets and lies. The three Alder brothers pretty much run the school and every part of the town they know it. Enter Whisper and she throws them all for a loop. They need to break Whisper and the tactics that they employ are cruel, brutal and downright disrespectful. Will they be able to break the beautiful Whisper? I can’t wait for the second installment of the series!
I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the bully romance/enemies to lovers genre, but I am a huge fan of Erin Trejo, so I gave this book a try. I’m so glad I did. The Alder boys, Steele, Knox & Callan, are the Big Men On Campus at Alder Academy. Whisper (was there ever a better name for a h) is “adopted” at 18 by a couple from Rolling Springs, after spending her entire life in foster care. The Alder Boys have one job from their father, find out who Whisper is and eliminate her. This book is dark, twisty, cruel, and so, so intriguing. The AB terrorize, humiliate, and bore into her. Whisper calls on everything in her being to persevere. Then they join forces! I loved these characters and the chemistry between them. The book is a fast paced, intense read and I can’ wait for Knox and Callan stories. Outstanding start to this series.

This is the 1st on a new series and my word, this talented author has done a brilliant job in penning this story! This story is about Whisper and Steele and is an emotional roller coaster journey throughout. This is a well written flawless story which is dark, raw, gritty, intense, intriguing, heart-breaking, suspenseful, and with angst, drama, and twists which all lead to a mesmerizing and addictive page turner. I was totally captivated throughout, and I cannot wait to read more in this amazing series. I highly recommend for all lovers of a dark and bullying tale.
