I received a free copy of this book through Net Galley.
I really enjoyed this one! Melissa Brayden has a great natural writing style that suits a story like this. It feels appropriately big and romantic (not to mention fairly dramatic) when it needs to be, but also low-key and intimate when it suits the story. Bad dialogue is the easiest way to make me hate a book when it's so focused on its characters and their interactions, but the dialogue in First Position is charming and natural. The characters are well-written and the leads have palpable chemistry, so I was invested even throughout some contrived story beats. All in all, a well-done and enjoyable romance with an interesting background in professional ballet.
