Concerto (The North Security Trilogy Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Skye Warren (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,912 ratings
The spotlight lands on Samantha Brooks. Years of practice build to the opening night of a global tour. She plays her heart out, but there are darker forces underneath the stage.

There are eyes watching from the wings.

Liam North fights to keep her safe with every weapon he owns. She’s his greatest pride—and his greatest weakness. The danger comes from somewhere no one expected. Betrayal threatens to destroy everything he’s built. His business. His family. His life.

When the curtain falls, only one of them will be left standing.

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

"Skye Warren has crafted a gripping, sensual, and intense story that left me breathless.” – USA Today bestselling author Nikki Sloane

Five hunting stars! This books is dark poetry and a taboo symphony. Top read of 2019!
Skye Warren has rocked my world once again. She doesn’t stop to amaze me! It is like her only job is to deliver the kind of books that seduce my soul, heart and all myself wrapping me with her tempting and forbidden words. Her writing is scorching hot lava that makes me burn to ashes. Concerto, the second book in the North Security series, is more than I expected to be. It blew my mind far, far away. It is a heavy and SINFUL ride that brings fire, temptation and the unexpected. Skye Warren can do no wrong! Concerto is so much more than a dark, taboo romance. It is sexy poetry, dark tempting lyrics that come to life hunting your heart and soul when exposing the lyrical violin music and the tragedy of impossible and forbidden love. What do you do when all the wrong choices are the only ones that feel right? …...You sin. You fall. You crave. You hurt. Liam and Samantha’ story carries on between secrets, extraordinary performances of music and dance, aching hearts and exposed attraction between guardian and protégé. It is taboo and delectable passion, twisted and raw lust. In this book the sensual tension between Liam and Samantha grows to an unbearable level. It is electrifying and sinful. Forbidden and deliciously illicit. Their separation only adds up more fire to their dark desires. It is sinfully scandalous. Being in the same room is like thousands of dangerous notes that create a unique and sensual lullaby that calms and incites their torn souls. They could be a thousand miles away, but the magnetic pull grows stronger. It pulls them toward each other’s arms, strong as gravity.

    Wow! This was an extraordinary second book in the North Security trilogy. From the very beginning the angst is like a music string being tightened as it’s being tuned. The angst ratcheting and the passion exploding. Concerto has all the elements of an extraordinary romantic suspense story. Simply gripping. A lot sinful!

    Samantha is finally on her own. Preparing for her upcoming concert, she believes she will remain in the shadows. But with the ever present threat to her life and her new role in the concert, she will now be front and centre.

    Although uncomfortable with this place, she would love to be front and centre to Liam North. Liam however is filled with demons and regret.

    Will he ever see her as more than a way to punish himself for past mistakes?

    Thinking this was the second book in a duet (my mistake) I was all set for the secrets to come out and for these two to find their way to each other once and for all. All I have to say is that I am so glad I was wrong and that this is not the end to their story. I need and want so much more from them and for them.

    Liam is so sexy with his dominate ways, his charm and possessiveness. We get more insight into his psyche and how he truly feels. I can’t wait to dive even further into his character and past.

    I found that Samantha’s character started to bloom in this instalment. Her character grew leaps and bounds both in strength and self confidence.

    These two together is nothing short of a conflagration! So HOT! They are so different but fit each other so perfectly. His worldliness compared to her innocence. Not to mention the fact that it seems like he is emotionally stunted while she is emotionally mature.

    I was not only compelled by Sam and Liam but the secondary characters as well. The complexities of both Josh and Harry. They both seem so tortured and I would absolutely ADORE getting stories for both of them.

    Skye Warren is the pied piper and this series is her flute. Where she writes, I will blindly follow.

    I read this book in one sitting I was so engrossed. The edge of your seat writing is why I enjoy Skye Warren so much.

    Samantha has finally left the cacoon of Liam's protection to go on her first world tour, yet Liam is never far from her, always staying in the shadows. Liam knows Samantha is in danger, he just isn't sure why.

    I loved the surrounding characters as the practice begins for the tour and how the author pulled you into the world of performance and the violin especially.

    The push and pull between Liam and Samantha continues and they are on the burning edge of a world about to explode. I can't wait for the exciting conclusion.

    Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Do you ever read a romance book or books and wonder if there is something seriously wrong with you because you love the darkness and angst of said book? I oftentimes think there is something a little bit broken in me because the angstier (yes, not really a word…but so), the happier I become. I think it has to do with the precision by which a writer must write to achieve that level of feeling in his/her reader. I mean this with no disrespect, but I think it is harder to write angst than rom-com. That’s just my belief, and I won’t judge anyone who will disagree with me.

    Concerto by Skye Warren is the type of book (like her other stories from Tanglewood) that delivers on the soul-wrecking, delicious angst that readers like me pine for. This is the second book in the North Security series, and it continues to follow Samantha and Liam. In Overture, Samantha and Liam embrace their forbidden feelings and consummate their lust for each other. At the end of Overture, Samantha has left to go on tour, but, more importantly, to find her independence from Liam, after he has pushed her away for her own protection. In Concerto, Samantha is recently arrived in Tanglewood for the start of the concert tour, and she is adapting to life independent from Liam. However, every day is a struggle without him. Shortly after arriving in town, there is a threat to her security, and Liam arrives to protect her from the threat. As they struggle with their lust and feelings for each other, each pushes the other away at various times, creating so much delicious tension that the reader is compelled to read to see its resolution.

    This you will not find wholly in Concerto, however. If you are looking for the end-of-book HEA in Concerto, it isn’t here. Instead, we are left with a huge, life changing cliffhanger for Samantha and indirectly for Liam. I believe the next book, Sonata, ends the trilogy, and hopefully, it leads us to a HEA for Liam and Samantha because these two are, by definition, tortured.

    Obviously, Samantha’s torture cannot compare to the tortured mind of Liam. In fact, there are so many times when I want to yell at the man to get a therapist. Call me insensitive, but the depths of his guilt create the thick, high wall between him and Samantha. While she is the junior to his senior, she surprisingly carries an emotional depth that will save Liam from his “wells.” However, as the reader, we have to endure the depth of these wells to get tidbits of connection and love.

    What I love about this book so much, besides the angsty moments between Liam and Samantha, is Warren’s brilliance in telling Liam and Samantha’s stories. For one, the titles of these books are intentional to understanding the general premise of each book. A concerto in musical terms often “highlights a solo instrument against the background of a full orchestra. […] In a concerto, a piano, violin, flute, or other instrument plays solo parts that are backed up or highlighted by an orchestra” (vocabulary.com). This obviously connects with Samantha’s entree into the independent life. While she is seemingly in “solo,” she is surrounded by a group (Liam, Josh, Bethany, Harry, her father, etc.) who add different levels of support (or hindrance) to her solo life. Her life becomes the actual concerto.

    Additionally, the image of wells in the story illustrates how Liam’s past still informs his present (and possibly his future). He can never escape the literal well from his youth because he believes, in loving Samantha, she becomes his figurative well. While he seemingly loves her, the well continues to dirty him, and by extension, he will sully Samantha. So…he engages in a fraught relationship with her, one where he at once needs her and repels her. This image is powerful and completely realized in Liam’s mind in association with Samantha. So so brilliant on Warren’s part.

    Finally, Warren’s way in creating this story (along with her other books) shows her ability to keep her reader guessing. There is a BIG revelation near the end of this story that breaks open possibility for the next book. I would love to say more, but I don’t want to spoil it. The genius behind this revelation turns this book from a forbidden, darker romance into one that seems more romantic suspense. There is more to Samantha than originally thought, and I imagine it will be an explosive realization in Sonata.

    There is something so delicious about an author like Skye Warren when you realize her ability to craft tortured souls into a romance that keeps you guessing is nothing short of genius. She holds the reader accountable to supposition about a story by offering them twists and turns at every page. As her reader, you can never be quite sure that all is as it seems, and her newest book, Concerto, is no different in this sense. When I ended this book, I was left hungry for more of Liam and Samantha’s story. In fact, I flew through the pages of this book. Thankfully, we get it in Sonata, but if I’ve read enough Warren books to know, there will be HEA, but it will still have a bit of a melancholy to it, angst in all of its realized glory.

    I simply cannot wait for the final book in this trilogy.

    Samantha is finally doing what she has always wanted to do....play her violin 🎻 and share it with others. The concert begins in Tanglewood and will finish up in New York, but will continue on for 18 months. She’s lonelier than ever without Liam by her side but Josh his brother is her current bodyguard. Liam however, just can’t stay away from her and he eventually shows up with more information about her being in danger.

    A few surprises I wasn’t expecting and I look forward to Samantha and Liam’s trilogy conclusion😍

    And then there's Concerto. Well, Skye Warren, you are an evil genius of an emotional rollercoaster taskmaster, and I begrudgingly admit that I loved every single page of this second installment of the story! Begrudgingly, because I am on tenterhooks and need to know now what happened and what will happen and everything in between. I am even more invested than I already was in the journey of a love story that Liam and Samantha are on and I am a hot mess because of it, but in the best possible way.
    Samantha strikes out, needing to see if she can make it on her own, even if she feels like there's always still a shadow of him, of her past. She's only eighteen, but she has an old soul, has been an adult since long before then. And, it means that she has to figure out for herself what she wants, what she needs, how to stand on her own two feet.
    Liam, well, he does everything he possibly can to stay away, but, there are always things beyond your control, and Liam doesn't deal so well with not being in control. And witnessing him unravel, well, I needed a nice large cold glass of water after that! And, I may have gone back and reread it once or thrice.
    This story just becomes even more than it already was, and I know that the third book, well, that it is going to ruin me, likely require tissues, and chocolate, to console me, and I cannot wait.
    There is a timeless quality to this story, to the struggles you face when you don't feel worthy, to the strength you can find within yourself when circumstances seem turned against you. That power of hope, well, it is the most beautiful part of this story...so, what are you waiting for? Go and read it, and the rest, so you can find out what that hope feels like, what inspires it, and what it accomplishes!
