Freestyle

Academy of Stardom, Book 1

De: Bea Paige

Narrado por: Joel Froomkin, Kylie Stewart

From the gutter to the stars....

Dance is in my blood. It’s what keeps me sane, out of trouble. It used to keep them out of trouble, too - a group of boys I grew up with. Xeno, York, Zayn, and Dax.

We were a crew once. and we ruled the clubs. Separately we were insanely good; together we were unbeatable. F--king on fire. I was their girl, and they were my breakers. Until they did something they promised they never would: broke my heart.

We were 17 when they left me. You see, for kids like us, dance was all we had. Growing up in a rundown housing estate in London with no prospects can make you view the world differently. It can make you choose the wrong path. I chose dance, and they chose crime.

Three years later, I’ve won a scholarship to Stardom Academy. I try to forget my past. But how can I do that when the four boys who hurt me are back?

And this time, they’re following in my footsteps and joining the academy, too.

Freestyle is book one of Academy of Stardom, a gritty, contemporary reverse-harem romance. If you love dance, your men on the criminal side, alpha hot holes, and the friends-to-enemies-to-lovers trope, this is for you. Contains mature themes and ends on a cliff-hanger.

Freestyle

I really enjoyed this story and all the dance tied into it. Freestyle is the story of five dancers who grow up in the same area meeting through chance. Bea Paige is always really good about keeping her characters engaging while also giving us an amazing storyline to follow. I can not wait to read Lyrical next and see what happens after that ending. Joel and Kylie do an awesome job voicing these characters in the audiobook, if you enjoy audiobooks check it out. I can not wait to see where this storyline goes next.

A steamy angsty RH full of dance

I absolutely love this series. I have the books. And this series was the first audiobook I listened to.
I enjoyed listening to Kylie Stewart! She takes Bea's words and breathes them to life, and finally gives us Pen's voice. She did an amazing job. I didn't quite like Joel Froomkin for the men. I don't like that Joel did al four of them. And they are so young and he made them sound so old. But overal it was a very good audio.

A Passionate, Heart-Wrenching Ride!

Bea Paige delivers an emotional rollercoaster in Freestyle (Academy of Stardom, Book 1), and Joel Froomkin and Kylie Stewart bring it to life with stunning narration. The intensity of the story is palpable—passion, devotion, and love intertwine beautifully before betrayal shatters it all.

I felt every moment of Pen’s journey, from the highs of being their girl to the devastating heartbreak of becoming their enemy. Xeno, Dax, Zayn, and York each left their mark, making me ache for what they once had. The chemistry was off the charts, the emotions raw, and the dance sequences were pure magic.

If you love enemies-to-lovers with deep emotions and a powerful connection, this audiobook is an absolute must-listen! 🔥🎧

Amazing Listen!

This audiobook has an amazing story, characters, writing, and narrators! I highly recommend it and am very excited to dig right in to the next one!

Great suspenseful story

I very much enjoyed this book. It has a good plot, full of suspense. I will warn that it ends on a good cliffhanger, so you’ll want to have the next book ready. Overall, I found the characters lovable even if I did want to smack them upside the head at times. And I find myself rooting for them.

Kylie Stewart knocked this narration out of the park. I very much enjoyed her performance! There really isn’t any of Joel Froomkin in this book’s narration aside from a tiny bit at the beginning.
