Emotionally devastating, yet so appealing!

The pain I felt from the betrayal was staggering from the sheer emotion of it all! Milena’s writing grabs me at my core. The audio narration by Abby Craden was so beautiful as she breathed life into the joys and sorrows. I very highly recommend any book Milena writes. There is no other author like her. She has a unique way of capturing the essence of the human spirit!

Milena McKay and Abby Craden - brilliant yet again!

Wonderful story set in the 1980s world of ballet, primarily Paris. The two main characters. ballerinas Katarina and Juliette are swoon worthy as they dance on their gut wrenching path to love, heartbreak and to love again. Highly recommend!

They've done it again!

When ever Milena and Abby collaborate together, you know it will be a wonderful experience. I've listened to all Milena's books and I'm never disappointed. And I can never say enough about how well Abby brings the characters to life. She is simply the best. I highly recommend this very emotional story. It's so worth the credit.

A Rare Beauty

Milena McKay has a unique way with words, which is brilliant and refreshing. Her literary novels have scenes that encourage heavy breathing; this one took my breath away throughout. The angst, drama, and chemistry between the characters were perfectly woven together making it impossible for me to stop listening to. The moment I finished Reverence, I hurried to place it on my Re-Listen list. There are a handful of sapphic authors Independent and traditional, who I also place on my 'Buy Everything they Write' list. Melina is at the top of this list. As a lesbian, I'm extremely grateful we have such an incredible literary talent representing our community. If it has not been said before, I want to thank you, Milena. Thank you. My name is Day and I have met Milena at GCLS Writers conferences and during online classes, but we are merely acquaintances. Please accept this rare review of mine Amazon. How I feel about this book is genuine and from the heart.

Heartbreaking and Refreashing

They did it again. McKay and Craden as we all know are a match made in heaven. The world building, the history, the character arces. Light and playful while deep and real. Absolutely adored this one and can't wait for more!

Love it!

She’s done it again! I don’t know how she manages it, but every time, I fall in love with each and every character she creates. This book, in particular, draws you into the captivating world of the beautiful ballerinas, and it’s impossible to put down.

Pleasure to listen to!

Abby Craden‘s narration is stelar.
Story line very good if not very realistic. The dynamic between the two main characters is wonderful .

Reverence

I don't have the words to describe the beauty of this story.

Rivalry, suspicion, desire, passion, love, betrayal, heartbreak, loss - this story has it all. Yet, I'm still struggling to put it all together to let others know how good it is!

Once again, Milena Mckay lures you in, comforts you, breaks you, and then very carefully puts you back together... and I loved every page of it.

I can't imagine anyone more perfect than Abby Craden to perform the narration. 🫶👏🥰

I will always recommend this masterpiece

A magnificent love story from start to finish that will stir your emotions. Definitely. Most especially, how McKay wrote the backstory of Katarina & her family. How she masterfully breaks our heart, and put it back together again in the end. If one doesn't cry or get teary-eyed on this story, well, I guess you'll probably the iciest of the ice queens.

Spectacular

This book is everything - beautifully written, poignant story that will stay with me for some time, and possibly the hottest, steamiest first time together scene! Love this author and of course best narrator. Love, love, love.
