To most people, Kat Donaldson has it all: notoriety, fame and fortune. For all outward appearances, her personal life is as successful as her professional life. Raised by a free- think, free-loving woman of the sixties, she believes that love is free, men come and go, and life and love are to be experienced. Much of her personal life revolves around the notorious, yet, ultra private Platinum Sex Club, a sex club populated by the rich and influential. Although she has indulged in all of her most outrageous sexual fantasies, true happiness has eluded her. Her need to submit and her inability to find just the right dominant man only add to her frustration.
Magnus Thorvald is a broken man. After finding his wife in bed with two men while a third was filming the action, he lost all faith in women. If he were ever of a mind to forget that little incident, he had only to look at his brother to reinforce his belief. Rather than suffer and forgive like his father, he takes the only option available, celibacy. For three years that plan works great until he runs into a pair of stiletto red boots attached to a pair of legs that are heaven. Now, celibacy is not so easy, in fact, it’s damn hard.
Sometimes it’s hard to know what you want if you’ve never even imagined that it exists. Cris Anson has created an absorbing, exciting story populated by well-rounded characters that long for things that they think would never come their way. The sexual heat between Magnus and Kat practically sizzles while the love scenes are numerous enough to keep you squirming in your seat. If you have a ying for brooding heroes and tough-as-nails independent women, hot sex and a fast pace stories then Dance of the Butterfly is clearly a worthy choice. You will laugh out loud at the antic of these two characters as they fumble their way towards the wondrous conclusion that sometimes life does give you lemonade. Dance of the Butterfly is a definite gem that will have you scouring the web for another swipe at Cris Anson’s work. I can hardly wait for Rolf’s story.
