The muse of music lives in this beautiful romance

Hi, book buddies :-)  It's my pleasure to pour love on this beautiful rendition of a romance book by one of my all-time favourite writers of romance. CONCERTO is the second book in this new trilogy that is pure gold. Romance is written like a piece of classical music. I'm in awe.


Now, here is the blurb followed by my opinion <3

The spotlight lands on Samantha Brooks. Years of practice build to the opening night of a global tour. She plays her heart out, but there are darker forces underneath the stage.

There are eyes watching from the wings.

Liam North fights to keep her safe with every weapon he owns. She’s his greatest pride—and his greatest weakness. The danger comes from somewhere no one expected. Betrayal threatens to destroy everything he’s built. His business. His family. His life.

When the curtain falls, only one of them will be left standing.


MY OPINION

This is so much more than I could have imagined. Overture and Concerto are two masterpieces in a row.

I really found myself loving every word, every scene. Beautiful writing, haunting even, especially when exposing the keen poetry of music and violin performances, or the bittersweet tragedy of impossible love.

How can a writer manage to make an intimate scene both lustful and sacred?

I’ve been vibrating with sensual energy all throughout the pages. Atmospheric, this second part is intensely felt, almost electrified with tension and hidden threat and, oh yes, a forbidden bond between guardian and protégé.

This continuation to Overture boasts mysterious secrets, dazzling musical performances, torn hearts and delicious passion. Luxurious to read.

Liam and Samantha hover between separation and magnetic pull. I felt like a live wire between them. This extremely complex, ambiguous relationship beats with a torn heart and darkly alluring sensuality. Sometimes, a chapter ended with a breathtaking resonance.

The theme of this novel, beyond anything else, is love denied when it is the true catalyst to healing and freedom. Liam is a tortured spirit, darkened by his inhumane roots about which we start to discover more, and Samantha is an orphan who still clings to a needy daughter’s hopes. The interactions between them are precious.

I also enjoyed myself so much with the appearance of Bea and Hugo and their domestic bliss, the savvy Candy and imposing Ivan, and the very meaningful town of Tanglewood.

I’m so satisfied with this story. The power of music touches me every time Samantha plays, and the details of the tour are sophisticated and mesmerizing. A dangerous game of cat and mouse is going on, which would make me fidget and read avidly, with wide-eyed curiosity. This couple is just as entrancing as the suspense plot.  He’s like a dragon and a knight combined in one dark warrior. She’s blooming like the strongest flower. I loved how much she grows in this second book, and those shocking last pages full of heartbreak and sacrifice. Stunning.

I am panting for the next masterpiece.


Favourite Quotes:
He was more than my guardian - he was the axis around which I spun.

Maybe it would always be this way, her sailing away, me dragged along like an anchor she can't shake.

Harm is hiding in the shadows. Like me.

The human heart is a spy, not to be trusted. It tells stories I know better than to believe.

"Intriguing, dark and flirting with taboo, this sexy read left me wanting more!" --Lynda Aicher, USA Today bestselling author


ENJOY AN EXCERPT 


  One day I had been a man with a death wish—and the next I was responsible for a twelve-year-old girl. And then she grew up into a beautiful woman. At every turn she’s been a surprise. I touch my fingers to her temple and stroke her cheek. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life it’s that everything will change. Don’t worry about your future. Do this because you love it, right now. Play. Compose. Perform. Sometimes all you have is right now.” My hand trails down her jaw, until the backs of my fingers rest against her throat. Her vocal cords vibrate as she speaks. Ripples of pleasure and pain resound through my body. “I’m not performing right now,” she whispers. I have her tucked into the ivy, as deep as she can go. I’m blocking her with my body—keeping her within reach, keeping everyone else away. It’s the only way I’ve ever been able to breathe. A knot forms in my throat. 

“What do you want?” Right now. The words move between us like the cool night breeze. It shouldn’t be possible for her to live up to the image in my head, the perfection that I’ve been imagining every goddamn night. Except it doesn’t even do her justice. She’s living breathing perfection. Somehow, I’m leaning close. Is it only me who wants this? Her breath brushes over my lips. What do you want? I asked her. “This,” she whispers, and then she closes the centimeters between us. Four weeks. That’s how long I’ve been apart from her. It might as well have been four years. A lifetime of silence. The moment her lips touch mine I’m suffused with music, thousands of notes that she’s played for me, a million heartbeats. By the time she pulls back I’m breathing hard. I can run a marathon barely breaking a sweat. Being near this woman is enough to break my body into pieces.
