Dancing
is Cami's escape from her dark home life. It's the only thing that

own right, he asks Cami to be his partner, and she gains strength and
confidence as he unlocks whole new possibilities for her.
When
Cami's abusive mother overdoses and her already-broken family falls

he has secrets of his own, and someone wants him found at any price.
Cami gets dragged into a web of danger and deceit. Now she must make
a choice between familiar darkness and uncertain light.
Review:
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
We first meet Cami as she is waiting to start her dance routine with the team. After they finish with the routine they head to the locker room to change into regular clothes. Jen asks her if she would be willing to take tickets at the dance. While waiting for the game to end she stands at the end of the field. After the game ended she found herself in there path, but before she can move a football player grabs her into a hug. She was really surprised when he knew her name. She goes to the dance and is trying to decide on whether or not to leave the dance, before she decides she is pulled into a dance with Todd. After they were done dancing he leaves her by the punch bowl and then she decided it was time to go home. Then Adam asks her to dance, he tells her after the dance that she should really consider dance classes. He asks her to meet him in the back parking lot by the cafeteria at 10. Does Cami meet Adam at the parking lot? This is a standalone book.
Cami is a loner, she has a love of dancing. She is 17 years old, she has a very hard family life. Adam is 18 years old, he learned how to dance in Russia. He sees something in Cami that she doesn't see in herself. His dad is a genetic's Engineer and his mother is a dancer. Tabby is Cami's sister, she is in college and she sneaks out at night. Todd is a football player and wants to go out with Cami. I can relate to Cami the best because she doesn't think that anybody sees her. I really like all the characters they all go together really well.
I truly loved this story, I liked that the story line, how Adam and Cami developed. The authors style of writing was really good it drew me in, I finished this story in a day I couldn't put it down. It was a fast paced story. This is my first story by Laura Bingham and it definitely will not be my last. If I could have given this story more then 5 stars I would. I highly recommend this book.
