Can't Believe It!

So mad right now - I swore I would not listen to another audible book that was a duet, trilogy, series, etc., until all books were available. How do you avoid this, when the publisher, author, or whoever doesn't announce this fact before you purchase. What I thought was a stand alone obviously is not - I read the audible reviews and no one mentioned it ended completely unfinished, left me hanging and who knows for how long - probably until I have forgotten what I just listened too, as I devour audios at a rate of 5 -7 per week.
The book is amazing - the narrators are amazing - you will enjoy it, however you will be left hanging - I wish someone had warned me - I feel I needed to pass this on. No clue when the continuation will be available. Love audio, but getting really burnt out on being deceived.

Forbidden romance?

I love this book but I wish it was mentioned in the blurb that it’s a cliffhanger...
Great storyline with good progression
Characters descriptions is good, they all feels familiar after a while.
There’s lots of feelings and the author has a way of getting the emotions through in her story.
Steamy love scenes
Samantha is strong and Liam is stubborn, it’s a turbulent relationship growing between them.

Narrators:
Very good voices that has clear pronunciation and passionate reading.

If you like a hint of forbidden love and a cliffhanger I recommend you listen to this. Even with the cliffhanger it’s worth it. Next book please!!!

The Perfect Push Out of My Comfort Zone

I'm not generally a fan of age gap or taboo romances, but Liam and Samantha's story really sucked me in! Skye Warren really took me out of my comfort zone with this forbidden love story between a ward and her guardian. Even though there are 16 years that separate Samantha and Liam, I found myself amazingly rooting for them by the end. The fact that I was able to look past all the things that would have warning bells going off in my mind as a parent, is a true testament to Skye Warren's brilliant storytelling. The angst is super high in this one, but it's balanced well with the suspense and mystery surrounding Samantha's past and the more intimate moments. I'm very intrigued by the North siblings and hope that we will see books for them in the future as well.

Teddy Hamilton's narration is wonderful as always, but I'm more used to him as the sweeter hero, so it was an adjustment to think of him as the ultra-alpha and gruff Liam North. Grace Grant's performance was good, but I felt her voice was a bit too mature for 17 (almost 18) year old Samantha. Hamilton and Grant worked well together though and overall, it was a pleasant listening experience (though I enjoyed Hamilton's narration more).

Listeners should note that this is book 1 in a trilogy, so be prepared for a cliffhanger. As far as cliffhangers go, it wasn't terrible at all, but it's something to keep in mind. I'm excited to see what's next for Liam and Samantha!

Overture

*This book ends in a cliff hanger* I wasn't aware of that before starting the book but the second book is soon to be released.
Samantha Brooke is an almost 18 year old child prodigy. She has an amazing talent with the Violin and is soon to start going on tour. When her father died 6 years ago Liam North took her in as his legal guardian. Now that the clock is ticking down to her 18th birthday, a lot of things are about to change, secret revealed, and the temptation between them both is starting to become unbearable.

This was an amazing read (listen). Liam is dark, and captivating. The whole story has a seductive and forbidden feel as Liam is 16 years older than Samantha, but there is so much more to the story than the forbidden fruit story line as there are many twists along the way that must be revealed. All throughout both Liam and Samantha feel wrong about their desire for each other.

Can not wait for the second book to be released.

The Audio for this book was beautifully done. This was the first audio I've listened from Teddy Hamilton and Grace Grant but they did a wonderful job matching the voices for each of the characters.

4.75 STARS

Forbidden, steamy and mysterious! I love age gap romances and this one did not disappoint. The H pushes the h away for most of the book making this a very slow burn. It's a trilogy and does end in a bit of a cliffhanger that I did not see coming. The secondary characters were great!

Narration
Teddy was fantastic! His voice is perfect for the alpha characters. 5 stars
Grace Grant is also great but I did feel that she her voice sounded too old for a 17 year old. 4 stars

A true masterpiece

When the one thing you crave is the only thing you can never touch.

Overture is an addictive listen. Absolutely everything you could want in a forbidden romance. It’s well written and perfectly narrated.

I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys forbidden/taboo, OTT Alphas, steamy angst and suspense. I can’t wait to continue on in this series.

Thrilling, Emotional, and Captivating!

This is an intriguing, intense, and steamy forbidden romance. Liam North becomes Samantha's guardian after her father's sudden and tragic death. Samantha was a child violin prodigy at the time and now is about to graduate high school and embark on a world concert tour. Liam has helped her flourish musically, but their feelings for each other has matured as well. Samantha has always been obedient but is ready to rebel and take what she wants, including Liam. Liam, with his military background, has seen and done too many things to think he is worthy of love. He holds back with Samantha, but not when it comes to her protection. There are so many questions surrounding her father's death and Liam knows that Samantha's life could be in danger as well. But will he be able to set her free knowing she will be open to danger but also knowing she owns his heart? Teddy Hamilton, and Grace Grant were amazing as they brought this story to life. Hamilton performed Liam's zealous need to protect Samantha with the perfect balance of his conflicting struggle to make Samantha his. Grant played Samantha beautifully showing her growth from wanting to only please Liam to awkward seductress, trying to take what she wants. There are so many secrets that make this thrilling, emotional and steaming story completely captivating. I can't wait to find out what happens next in Concerto.

Taboo Age Gap done right!

For some reason I always get nervous when I start to read taboo age gap books, I am not sure if it’s just hard wired in my mind as wrong or if it won’t come across as believable. I didn’t need to worry or doubt this one, I absolutely loved Liam and Samantha! In all honesty I kept forgetting the age difference, Samantha isn’t a typical 17 year old… she’s an old soul who endured neglect at a young age. Liam is an ultimate broody, sexy alpha! I love the push and pull they both go through, trying to tell themselves that their feelings are wrong but also constantly being drawn back to each other! I started off figuring Liam was just overprotective about Samantha because of his line of work but the twist at the end left me really eager to listen to the next book!

As always, Teddy Hamilton leaves me dying for more… I could seriously listen to him all day! I think this was my first book with him as an alpha bad ass instead of a sweet guy or M/M but he could make me melt either way! I think this might have been my first time listening to Grace Grant and I enjoyed her narration. She tends to have a deeper more mature voice but since I kept picturing Samantha as an old soul I felt like it worked. There were times when I felt like Grace’s narration was a little slow so I ended up speeding it up a little which gave her a quicker but more robotic voice , but that was my own doing.

Great buildup to the next book. The narrators did a great job. #audiobook obsession review
