Overture

Could not relate to this May December

Not impressed! Characters unrealistic among other circumstances I give it a 1 1/2 stars

So frustrating to always have to wait for the endings. I so wish authors would write a full length book and let the readers decide if they are worth buying more instead of always leaving the readers on a cliff... I love many of Skye Warren’s books and didn’t even hesitate to buy this one but I expected an ending instead of another book coming out later. It seems like each book gets shorter and shorter, thus causing more and more sequels for one story. I was disappointed. I enjoy the story line and the main characters are great but I’m just frustrated with always having to purchase another book. I’d rather pay $10 for a good full-length novel than to be left hanging when I find a storyline I enjoy. Just my two cents...

Well. I didn’t know what to really expect! This is a gently taboo storyline. A ward falling for her guardian. The guardian is head over heels for her but knows it’s not right. The angst in this mixed with the heat. Whew. L O V E D it!!! Ends on cliffhanger. Concerto out in May!!

Samantha and Liam had crazy hot chemistry between the two. I loved the dynamic. A bit of mystery and suspense with a lot of hotness thrown in was fantastic! I definitely wanted more and look forward to the next book!!

I am a usual reader of Skye Warren and her books. I have read almost all of the series she has put out and I thought this one would be just as great as the rest but I was sadly disappointed..... !!!!Spoiler alert!!!! This book is nothing like ‘The Pawn’ series so if you’re looking for something along those lines, you won’t find it here. ‘Overture’ was about a a guy named Liam North who gains custody of Samantha after her father dies when she’s young. Samantha is a violin prodigy and is going through the faze of growing up as a woman and struggling with falling in love with Liam. The book goes on and on about them not being able to be together because of this and drawls on about how she isn’t 18 yet so Liam doesn’t want to be with her not for this reason, but because he has personal trauma and doesn’t believe he can love. Almost every chapter goes on and on about them counting down until she’s 18 and when she finally gets to 18 it starts to sound like no we can’t be together because I just don’t know how to love. The entire book is confusing. He takes her virginity thinking it’s a dream and he fights her when she clearly wants to be with him. Maybe that’s how I’m taking this book, but it was just all over the place. Then there was the whole thing with the coach from the school molesting the guys soccer team and I thought this was going to be a plot substance but that whole thing got solved in like the next chapter just by Samantha asking Liam to help her friend Cody. Overall I would not recommend this book if you are a lover of skye warren’s other books. It was just lacking so much and I expected so much more. I will definitely not be preordering the next part in this series. 1 out of 5 stars.

Overture is a forbidden story of Samantha and her guardian, Liam. She is a musical child prodigy when Liam took her in when her father mysteriously died. Samantha has questions that only Liam can answer. The story is sexy, emotional and so good. I love the little musical tidbits before each chapter. Another brilliant story from Skye Warren. Review copy was received for a honest opinion.

Let me start by saying: If you came here straight from “Wanderlust”, this isn’t the passionate, dangerous Hunter you’re looking for. (He will always be my measure for rugged, dangerous, fictional men.) However, if you liked Kip from “Love The Way You Lie”, then Liam North is your guy. Liam is strong, brooding & elusive in the same way. This wasn’t just a story about two people exploring a taboo relationship with sex in every other chapter. Nothing was hotter than the fact that they couldn’t do the deed. (Can we get an AMEN for when he got rough with the reporter because he’s a great man beast with desires too volatile for the person he really wants to bang???) My only problem with the story is that sometimes it felt slow because of too much internal dialoguing. Samantha & Liam were always fighting themselves about the same thing, just said in different ways with different words. It got a little repetitive. Otherwise, the book came together really well at the end, & I can’t wait to read “Concerto”.

Overture definitely pushed all my buttons. It gets you out of your comfort zone reading with this taboo forbidden romance. So many risky situations that you are not sure what will happen next. Did I think I would end up liking this story, at first I was uncertain. I love Skye Warren's writing. I was trying my hardest to get past about some circumstances that were part of the "forbidden romance" part. As the end neared, you start to uncover some truths. The why's and how's blend together with this forbidden melody. I enjoyed all the musical quotes/facts with the beginning of each chapter. It brings you closer for the love of music. I was intrigued enough at the end to see what will be coming with the second book. I really love Liam and Samantha. I just need to love them as a couple. I think that is where I will get to with the second book as they grow into different rolls.

No one writes dark, forbidden romance as well as Skye Warren. This book was amazing. Ends perfectly for the next installment. Plenty of slow burn sexual tension. Balanced with action and angst. Wonderfully written and plotted. A must read.
