"Swoon-worthy, forbidden, and sexy, Liam North is my new obsession." - New York Times bestselling author Claire Contreras

Liam North got custody of the violin prodigy six years ago. She's all grown up now, but he still treats her like a child. No matter how much he wants her.

No matter how bad he aches for one taste.

Her sweet overtures break down the ex-soldier's defenses, but there's more at stake than her body. Every touch, every kiss, every night. The closer she gets, the more exposed his darkest secret.

She's one step away from finding out what happened the night she lost her family. One step away from leaving him forever.

"Overture is a beautiful composition of forbidden love and undeniable desire. Skye has crafted a gripping, sensual, and intense story that left me breathless. Get ready to be hooked!" - USA Today bestselling author Nikki Sloane

Forbidden love. Part one of the trilogy.

Reviewed in Australia on 3 August 2019

Verified Purchase

Following her father's death, twelve-year-old violin prodigy, Samantha, found herself alone in the world. She became the ward of a mysterious and somewhat reclusive man, Liam, leader of North Security, an international para-military group.
Now, nearing her eighteenth birthday, things could not be described as anything like a father-daughter relationship. While Liam is cool and remote on the outside, he secretly burns with dark desires and most prominent, is his feelings for Samantha.
Samantha's days are filled with violin practice and preparation for a music career. She has had such a sheltered upbringing within Liam's compound, she has very little experience or understanding about relationships. But she has been fantasizing about Liam.
One night, an incident brings their explosive desires into the open, and this is the beginning of a whole new experience for them both.
But Liam cannot let Samantha stay.
Part one of three. Not clearly labelled as a trilogy when I obtained this book. I enjoyed the plays of emotion between the characters and the storyline is fairly intriguing, but I'm not certain whether I will purchase another two books to complete the story.

I think it is fair to say that we see a sweeter side of Skye Warren in Overture. I am more accustomed to Skye’s darker and kinkier works in previous books.

Samantha, a talented violinist has spent her early years with a father who treated her as an afterthought. With his passing, child prodigy Samantha is taken in by Liam North.
At the beginning it is not really clear as to why. The years that follow, sees them falling into a seamless routine with Liam as her guardian and Samantha as the studious and well behaved ward.

This all begins to unravel with Samantha turning 18. This is a delicious coming of age story where Samantha on the cusp of womanhood can no longer deny her feelings for Liam and nor can he….

This book ends on a cliffhanger (which I loathe) but cannot wait for the next installment “Concerto”

Loved it...!!! Why, why, why, didn't I scan some of the reviews this time...!!! Cliff-hanger... Usually I don't buy the first book in a series without checking it has an ongoing romance - I like to wait until all the parts have been released. Sigh, hurry up MAY...!!!

As for taboo romance:- 18 years vs 34 years? Today maybe, but most of the romance books I read in the seventies and eighties (yes I'm that old) starred H/h around those ages... (18 to 23 vs 30 - 38) Women were rarely over 23 and their men were never under 30. This book was well written, steamy and emotional. One of my favourite authors. Some darker themes though. ❤

An incredible story!

Reviewed in Australia on 19 February 2019

I loved this story!!! Liam North is everything you could possibly want in a protective alpha male. The more I read, the more my heart ached for him. His past has coloured his present and he keeps his distance with people. No one more so than Samantha. He protects her with rules but then again perhaps he is protecting himself from her.

Samantha is a sweet young woman who more than anything wants to be seen as a young adult and not a child. She is still innocent in many aspects and yet, wise beyond her years.
*"How vulnerable it makes me to have something vital to my existence belong to another human being."*
This line is everything. It can be applied to anyone. Anyone in love. This was a real stand out line for me that continued to stay with me.

There were many incredible characters in this story including the other North men: Josh and Elijah. All the North men are different and yet similar. There connection and interactions are interesting to watch. I did love the other North men but Liam holds a special place for me.

I wasn't sure if anything could be as good as the Trust Fund Duet but Skye Warren has proven that she is magical in her writing. The amount of detail and care taken to create such a beautiful story is to be commended. The trivia we learn about the violin world is brilliant because I've always loved the instrument. But we also learn about Liam's past as well as Samantha and how their paths crossed for the first time. While there is an age gap between them and their attraction is taboo, it never felt tainted and wrong. Perhaps it's because Samantha makes the choices. As Liam said: *"Because I made rules and she followed them, but that was always her choice. I only ever had as much control as she gave me."* The two of them certainly share a bond with both of them having difficulty childhoods but I think their bond goes beyond that. Samantha softens the harden soldier and shows him love. Liam cares enough for Samantha to give her everything she needs and knows that she needs to fly and so refuses to stand in her way. But I love them together! And just as I was reaching the end, I was blown away by a revelation and found myself saying: WHAT THE HE...!!!!

I am bursting, absolutely bursting, to read the next book to find out what happens to Liam and Samantha! Skye Warren has created another fantastic story which captured my attention and imagination from page one.

A book of opposites❣️

Reviewed in Australia on 19 February 2019

I’m just going to say.....buy this book....OMG what a story!

Samantha is a child prodigy and after her father died, she is taken in by Liam North as his ward, even though they are not related by blood. She is close to leaving on a tour around the world, but before that happens she first has to graduate from high school, have her 18th birthday and then the tour can start. But as she gets closer to the time, she doesn’t want to be the good girl anymore who follows orders and she especially doesn’t want to leave the compound where Liam is😍

Liam is the owner of a business that specialises in dangerous missions around the world, in short a group of mercenaries. As Samantha’s birthday approaches, Liam feels more guilt around why he took her in, feels more for her period.....so not as a guardian should for a ward under his care.

This book feels like a book of opposites...but a book that will keep you engrossed in what happens next and will ensure you keep turning the pages until the last note is played❣️

Thank you to Skye for my advanced copy for which I leave my honest review and I can’t wait for more😍

Enjoyed the book I am just so sick of every book I buy ends up in a cliffhanger and I’m prompted to buy the next one before I can get the end of the story and I have to wait months by then I’ve forgotten what the original story was about. I would pay more just to get it all in one book it’s such a hassle trying to remember what book is coming out that I need to read that is a continuation of the book I read months ago!

When a ward falls in love with her indomitable guardian...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 February 2020

Verified Purchase

I am wrecked after having just finished Overture, and I am so in love with Liam and Samantha! Skye Warren has done an amazing job in this first of three books in the North Security Trilogy, and I am chomping at the bit to dive into book two!
Samantha hasn't had the easiest upbringing, yet as a child prodigy, always strived to please, to be enough, for anyone that might take care of her. Six years with the indomitable Liam North have taught her many things, including that loving your guardian isn't necessarily going to pan out how you hope it would.
Liam is a man of stone countenance and build, created as such because of a childhood no child ought to bear, and the believe that he has the very devil inside him, making him incapable of being anything else, anything more than that. Yet, his ward, well, she just isn't what he expected, and he doesn't know how to plan for that.
I adored this story. Their own brand of tension, of friendship, of support, of love, it oozed from every single page even when I want to shake Samantha's shoulders or give Liam a slap upside the head. Throw in a wonderful cast of secondary characters, each of whom I hope get their own story because well, I demand to read them, and it made for a book I couldn't put down. In fact, I'm going to pick up book two now! So, if you love a bit of taboo, a lot of angst, and an additional sprinkling of swoon, well, look no further!

Beware! This is a duology, which is annoying as I don't remember seeing that explained.
It's a good story but slow building. I can already see that the brothers mentioned will get their own stories soon
Good strong female
Lead male has issues of course!

Overture

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2019

Very well written. Angsty and pulls on all the right cords. I love the hero and the heroine but wish the age gap was much smaller. That bit makes it a bit seedy, but I’ve changed it in my minds to a smaller age gap to make that part more palatable since the book itself is great.

Glorifying paedophilia? No thanks

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2019

I got two chapters in before I gave up. A man who raises someone from a 12/13 now has sexual feelings toward her? Liam is basically Sam’s parent and when we meet both characters it’s just before Sam’s 18th birthday and Liam is fantasising about her moans? Nope, not for me, abandoned reading as it just felt wrong. I know they’re not actually related but he raised her.

Overture – Skye Warren

Why oh why did it take me so long to read this book? I should know better, I should have done it a long time ago when the ads and Skye’s newsletter would tell me to get Overture and start this journey, but I didn’t. I brushed past it, choosing to pick up so many other Sky Warren books and reading them.

So many broken people and so many innocents, but isn’t that the way of the world. It is definitely part of Skye Warren’s world. Someone is always atoning for sins that weren’t really theirs to atone for, with someone who could save that person, that what you will get when you read one of her books.

Liam North is convinced he is not cut out to have the life any other person would expect. He and his brothers abused by a crazy father, Liam joins the military and is eventually able to open his own security company and bring his brothers into the company with him.

Has he done bad things, who is this world doesn’t do bad things even if they are done with good intentions. So when Liam sees how Samantha Brooks a 12 year old violin prodigy, being left on her own to fair for herself he does what he needs to do, even in advance of orders. He then applies to become her guardian and for the next six years, makes sure she has everything any child could need to grow up in a safe environment the whole time realizing that as time goes by she means more to him than just being his ward, his feelings are not those of a parent. Nor should they be those of a parent, he was never going to be her parent just someone who would keep her safe. Then he would let her go, but now on almost the eve of her leaving for a worldwide tour he doesn’t really want to let her go, he also doesn’t want her to know what kind of danger she is in. Know this however, Skye Warren would never write a hero like Liam North who would let her go. He will make sure no matter what that she is always protected, even if it is not him doing the protection.

Skye Warren’s beautiful stories are heart breakers, tearjerkers, exciting, dark, and page turning and they contain so much love, the kind of love everyone wants to have in their lives. The kind of love that surpasses the love everyone wishes for and by reading her stories you the reader are allowed to partake of that love.
