However, in a slow step-by-step seduction, Amanda is drawn further and further into a dangerous dance. The dark romance between the two takes an ugly turn, resulting in attempted murder and suicide. The spotlight’s glare drives Amanda further away from her home and family until she has to find a way to start a new life for herself. Just when it looks as though Amanda and her family might reconcile, Richard steps in again and she must figure out how to truly stand on her own two feet.

Every Little Step She Takes eBook Carolyn Steele Agosta Reviews
I normally read romantic thrillers/suspense; this story is not a typical romance, nor a thriller/suspense, still it had enough suspense for me to continue turning the pages. It's a "coming of age" story, more Kristin Hannah-like than my usual suspense authors. I kept reading to find out how Amanda escaped the older man's emotional claws and how she dealt with the family conflict and scandal their relationship caused. The characters were well-developed and believable. I was quite satisfied, and look forward to more from this author.
This book is the story of Amanda, an aspiring young dancer who is seduced by a much older man, Richard - and how she works through their unhealthy relationship and moves on with her life. I thought the characters were very true-to-life, especially Amanda. At times I wanted to reach through the book and stop her from making mistakes, even though I knew that in her head it seemed like the right thing. The story certainly hooked me early on, and I kept reading, trying to figure out how she would get rid of Richard, and if she would ever finally be free of him.
Warning This is a "can't put down" story, so don't start reading it unless you have time in your schedule to finish it quickly.
EVERY LITTLE STEP SHE TAKES is the story of Amanda Long, an 18-year-old ballet student, whose family has been torn apart by their inability to handle the sudden and unexpected death of her brother. Her parents can't seem to talk about it - and she's feeling quite alienated, living away from home for the first time. In short, she has nothing she can count on, except her dancing.
As the story opens, she has just met Richard Gessler, her college's most famous alumnus, honored benefactor, patron of the arts and a high-profile businessman. She's awestruck, when he offers to taker her under his wing and become her mentor.
However, in a slow step-by-step seduction, he draws Amanda deeper and deeper into a dangerous "dance" of control. Eventually he lures her to leave college and move to New York City, where their dark romance takes an ugly turn, resulting in attempted murder and a suicide.
Amanda is injured in the attack and ends up in the hospital. Once she recovers enough to leave, the media spotlight's glare drives her to run away from her home and family and start a new life for herself.
Years pass, and then, just when it looks as though Amanda and her family might reconcile, Richard steps in again. The question then becomes, will she be able to throw him out of her life forever and figure out how to stand on her own feet?
This "can't put down" story is at its essence, a novel about seduction, scandal and self-respect. You'll cringe as you see Amanda being drawn into Richard's web, wanting to shake her into realizing that what she thinks is love is totally wrong - and you'll find yourself hoping against hope that Amanda's family will pull itself together and reach out to Amanda before she reaches rock bottom.
Author Carolyn Agosta began writing in 1998 and has had over three dozen short stories and essays published in the US, UK, online, Italy, Latin America, Spain, and Viet Nam. She tells us that two have been made into short independent films and some have been translated into Arabic, Vietnamese, Spanish and Russian. Three have been dramatized for radio performances, including BBC Radio 4.
Several of her short stories have become popular among high school and college students in the 'oral interpretation' division of Forensics (debate) competitions. In fact, one of them, "Coming to My Senses," was turned into a sort film which is available on YouTube.
You can also read several of Carolyn's short stories online. Her website includes a link to the sites which have published her work.
EVERY LITTLE STEP SHE TAKES is Carolyn Agosta's second novel, and her third is almost ready to go out to agents and publishers. When she's not writing, she teaches classes in fiction writing to beginning and intermediate writers.
First book I chose on . It grabs you from first paragraph and makes you lose sleep after that. I could not put it down it is a great read. I have not stayed up reading since "The Girl With the Golden Tattoo". Not the same, but still you have to find out how a misguided girl turns out.
The story line was not only believable but kept you on the edge of your seat the entire length of book. I highly recommend this book for many reasons.
I don't normally read this genre of book. It reads like a Lifetime Movie--everything going wrong in one young girl's life, she makes a few bad choices and by the end everything is a-okay. Strong characters and a strong story line make it an enjoyable, fast read.
This is a compelling story that sucks you in rather quickly. I found the level of suspense intriguing. The author does a great job with character development and builds the story nicely. It's edgy, erotic at times as well as disturbing at times. I can see this as a young adult, coming of age edition. What intelligent young lady doesn't share some version of the older man fantasy at some point in their youth? How easily an innocent fantasy can turn into a nightmare is a strong message for young adults. This is a good read from a newly published author. I look forward to her next effort.
Immediately you are drawn into the fascinating world of a naive young dancer, but it is the evolution of her conflicted relationships that keep you turning each page in suspense, in compassion, and in enjoyment. A scandalous lover, a shattered family and precarious friendships are all entwined as Amanda takes misguided steps to follow her dreams. If you have ever wondered how someone could allow themselves to become involved and held captive in an unhealthy relationship, then you will begin to understand as she descends the slippery slope of dangerous love and all it's consequences.
