She doesn’t surrender to his kiss.

He doesn’t back down from a challenge.

It’s going to be a sensual fight… to the death.

Review:

So I have finally read my very first Skye Warren novel. Unfortunately, I thought it was just okay. I wasn't drawn into the story, and even though I enjoyed the ballet and relationship between Josh and Bethany aspects, I found the rest just didn't keep my attention. All the things that should of been interesting and easy to focus on, such as issues with her brother and the kidnapping just came across as filler for me. The writing itself was good, it was the underlying story that lost it for me.

In my opinion, the best part of this book is the relationship between Josh and Bethany. The chemistry and heat between the two was intense and delicious. I couldn't get enough of these two. Josh wants Bethany and she wants him too, but she is forbidden. The story is told in two time periods, so when we're in the present and their relationship starts to progress it's just great. So the romance has me in a flip-flop of love and hate feelings. I love that Josh was written to never touch Bethany while she was only 16 years old and he was in his twenties. It made the romance between them acceptable and easy to enjoy when it did happen, and they were both legal age. I hated that I knew what Josh's thoughts were when he was looking at 16 year old Bethany. I found it made me a bit uncomfortable, especially with the graphic language used.

This is the first Skye Warren novel I've ever read. I'm wondering if I would have enjoyed this more had I of read Overture before this one.

Overall, this was just an okay read for me. The good balances out the bad but it doesn't exceed it in my opinion. This book might be better enjoyed by the readers who enjoy the 'girls saves boy from himself' troupe.

Amelia Wilde

Amelia Wilde wrote her first story when she was six years old, a narrative strongly inspired by The Polar Express. When she was nine, she wrote her first novel-length work, all in one paragraph.

Now, Amelia is all about that love. Her romances feature unique, independent heroines and alpha heroes who are strong of heart and body. Readers have described her work as “emotional,” “intense,” “phenomenal,” and “like a child scribbled with a crayon,” which she takes as the highest praise.
