Publisher's summary

Anna is the newest member of an elite ballet company. Her first class with her mysterious idol Victoria almost ruins her career before it starts. When she shows she might be a potential star, Victoria chooses Anna to launch a new season around.

Now Anna must face down jealousy, sabotage, and injury, not to mention navigate the circus of friends and lovers within the company. The pressure builds as she knows she must pour everything she has into opening night and prove to her rivals and herself that Victoria’s faith in her is not misplaced.

In the process, Anna discovers that she and the daring, beautiful Victoria have a lot more than a talent for ballet in common, and that not every thrilling dance can be found on stage.

My favorite book

First of all: I just wanted to say that I’ve read this book 5-6 times cover to cover. I recently downloaded Audible and saw that this was available to listen to. The Music and the Mirror was my first purchase. I instantly fell in love with the narrator’s style and the different inflections she put in her voice with all of the characters.
The story is beautifully crafted; with its twists, turns, and drama, this is one you cannot pass by. This book made me laugh, gasp, and almost cry when it finally came to an end. I wasn’t sad about the ending…just that it ended. I could follow Anna and Victoria’s story line until they were both senior citizens.
Do yourself a favor: pick this up now. You won’t regret it!

I'm in love!❤

I fell in love with this book and have read it countless times. The budding romance between Anna and Victoria throughout the story is not at all rushed and flowed quite nicely. I enjoyed Anna's growth and increasing boldness throughout the story. I do wish I had learned more about Victoria than was revealed but I have also been hoping for a sequel that may delve into her more. The supporting characters: Jess, Irina, Delphine, Gabriel, Ethan, etc were all just as engaging and made the story hard to put down. I've been waiting for the Audible version to come out and will definitely keep my eyes and ears open for more from Lola Keeley, who is a phenomenal writer.

The narrator was not entirely what I was looking for but she didn't at all take away from the story. I was honestly hoping Stephanie Murphy had been chosen to narrate as she has a nack for making a story really come alive with her voice changes and the passion she pours into the stories she narrates.

This is one of those books that I loved reading and love even more listening to.
Palpable chemistry between the main characters and a glimpse into the world of professional ballet dancers I've known nothing about, but found fascinating. The narration enhances the story further - it's among my favourite audiobooks.p

Outstanding...one of the best

I feel obligated to write this review because I’ve listened to other audiobooks narrated by Abigail Rakocy that left me with a very unfavorable opinion of her abilities, which I then expressed in reviews. But THIS BOOK. And HER PERFORMANCE. Were MADE FOR EACH OTHER. This is, without a doubt, one of the very best audiobooks in the F/F genre and is probably in my top three favorite audiobooks of all time. I’ve lost count of how often I’ve listened to it. Abigail absolutely crushes (in a good way) all the voices and is in tune with every character. She brings an exceptional tale to life. And the book itself is one of the best offerings in recent F/F fiction. Lola Keeley wrote a sexy, sassy, sweet, glamorous and exciting gem and rained it like manna from heaven onto a grateful and starving readership. She also created one of the sexiest combos ever in Victoria and Anna. I heartily thank both Lola and Abigail for the hours and hours of entertainment their union on this project has given me! Ms. Rakocy - you NAILED it!

A must read for slow burns

My first time reading Keeley and I must say I was not disappointed! The book was very well written and easily understood even though I have no knowledge of ballet. I definitely recommend this one, especially if you are a sucker for a slow burn romance.

Wow

When people told me this was the best book of the year I was skeptical. It absolutely is. The build up is amazing, the ending is amazing. I can’t wait until I read it again.

Stunning story and amazing narration!

Absolutely in love with this beautiful story! Both main characters are beautiful and how they come together is amazing! I listen to the audio book after having read the book and it completed the story in my head because the narrator brings it to life beautifully!
