~ BOOK REVIEW for Overture ~
This was smart, sexy book, with a lot going for it. The main character of Samantha was an enjoyable teen character, as were her two best friends Laney and Cody. Her guardian Liam, and also his brothers Josh and Elijah, were hard asses, but very loving in an overbearingly protective way. It was sad to see how insecure Samantha was, due to her initial upbringing with her father and then her strange existence with the North brothers. The romance was intriguing, if a little skewed. You get the sense that Samantha & Liam could do a lot for one another, other than just sexually, if they gave themselves the chance. It's mostly Liam that tries to keep them apart, but Samantha does have her hangups as well. The background intrigue seems to be quite important, but kind of shuttled into the background noise. While I had heard this was the first book in a new series, I hadn't realized that the books would be a continuous story, instead of stand-alones. This volume most definitely felt like the beginning of a story, where there was a lot of groundwork laid and world building performed. But it was most definitely not a complete story, and really just left the reader on a cliffhanger in a number of different aspects. This was probably the biggest reason that I quite enjoyed but didn't completely love the book. I'm looking forward to reading future installments though, and have high hopes for the remainder of the tale.
