Welcome, KC!

My Top Five Dancer Romances

Hello! I’m KC Burn and I’m thrilled to be at The Novel Approach today.

Anyone have a particular hero type that they always buy? I know I do. Blind heroes. Not sure what it is about them, but if a book has a blind hero, I will buy it. I’m also a huge sucker for the nerd/geek hero. Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t love other hero types!

Since my new release, Set Ablaze, features a hero who is a Broadway dancer, I thought I’d share a list of my top 5 dancer romances. I have to admit, I had to wrack my brain a bit – dancers don’t seem to feature too frequently in the romances I’ve read. A bit of a surprise really because physically they’re appealing with all that strength and grace, and yet, it probably isn’t an easy profession which provides a number of avenues for story conflict.

I’m probably miss a few key ones, but these are my favourites.

In no particular order…

• Making Promises by Amy Lane
• Lone Star by Josh Lanyon
• Put a Ring on It by KA Mitchell
• Dancing Lessons by R. Cooper
• Golden Dancer by Tara Lain

Have you got any favourites? Is my list missing something I should have read?

Obviously, by my list, I’m not limiting my choices to Broadway dancers, but any type of dancer. And I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a whole swath of stripper stories that I’ve forgotten or haven’t read… and I have an idea for a stripper story of my own!

About the Book

California firefighter Hayden Hurst is starting to realize there’s more to life than fighting fires and drinking with his buddies. He has room in his home and his life for someone special, but no one has stood out among his hookups. And while he’s out at work, admitting he’s gay is very different from showing up at social functions with a man. He’s afraid that’ll be too much for his less-than-accepting “friends.”

Broadway dancer Jez Bouchet hasn’t been mistaken for straight since he was gay-bashed at seventeen. After getting a lucrative job offer in Hollywood, he uproots his life in New York and drives to Los Angeles. His brother, who is Hayden’s best friend, arranges for him to crash at Hayden’s place.

The attraction between Hayden and Jez is unexpected but fiery, and they succumb before they’re even sure they like each other. But Jez hates Hayden’s homophobic friends, and Hayden knows Jez is too flamboyant for him to fly under the radar. Then there’s the complication of Jez’s brother.

Despite those hurdles, they fling themselves into a relationship. But Jez has secrets: a tiny spoiled dog and a determined stalker. If he doesn’t come clean, he might torch their burgeoning relationship before it has a chance to bloom.

Set Ablaze is available at Dreamspinner Press and Amazon

About the Author

KC Burn has been writing for as long as she can remember and is a sucker for happy endings (of all kinds).  After moving from Toronto to Florida for her husband to take a dream job, she discovered a love of gay romance and fulfilled a dream of her own — getting published.  After a few years of editing web content by day, and neglecting her supportive, understanding hubby and needy cat at night to write stories about men loving men, she was uprooted yet again and now resides in California. Writing is always fun and rewarding, but writing about her guys is the most fun she’s had in a long time, and she hopes you’ll enjoy them as much as she does.
