Love this series!
This book is a bout growing up, passion for love and music.
Hot as hell the scenes in this book. Samantha is trying to stand on her own 2 feet but can Liam leave her alone now she is even more in danger. I loved this book. The emotions are poring of the pages. It is deep and twisted. I am so curious about the next book. Go grab a copy I recommend.
Concerto by Skye Warren is a forbidden romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Grace Grant. This is book two in the North Security Series. Book three Sonata is currently not released on Audio but is available in print. Also, book four Audition will be available October 29, 2019. I cannot wait to dive into the sequels.
All I can say is wow! Skye did it again with an amazing sequel to Overture. I love the Dark Forbidden Romance with the Suspense throughout the novel. There are just enough sexual scenes for the romance portion, but I really love the suspense of the storyline surrounding Samantha and Liam life.
Teddy and Grace are an amazing duo. They really bring the story to life.

This is the continuing story of Liam & Samantha. His brother Josh is in this story a lot, also. Samantha is learning how to stick up for herself instead of having Liam do it for her. Josh is her bodyguard on her tour with her playing the violin. Liam & Samantha have these raw emotions. Liam doesn’t want to admit to them still. He becomes her bodyguard himself. There is a lot of action in this story. There is a surprise at the end of the story I never expected. Very well written. I can’t wait to find out what happens to them both in the next book.
Concerto (North Security Book 2) continues the tale of forbidden romance between violinist Samantha Brooks and her former guardian. What unfolds will drawl you into this world of intense revelations & secrets revealed in intricately weaved into the narrative. Surpassing Overture, I couldn’t stop listening to this audiobook as a piece of cake. Prospering from Overture to Concerto Samantha Brooks blooms into adulthood. Liam North is a intriguing character with a complex personality.
Skye Warren concocted a gripping, sensuous, and intense tale that leaves you awestruck. Danger lurking through the narrative with uncertainty trickling down. Betrayal, mystery, and murder has step up one’s game in this series.
Narators Grace Grant & Teddy Hamilton performance kept me intrigued to till the end. All the right sentiments in the right places.
I found Grace Grant’s tone sound a bit older than Samantha Brooks character. However, it didn’t take anything away from the narative. A entertaining listen.
I’m looking forward to listening to Sonato the conclusion of this trilogy series when its available.
Audiobook Obsession
Cliffhanger. One of three books to complete story. Very upsetting. I am done with this author!
Audiobook version:
Skye is the evil type of story teller that pulls you in so deeply that you feel a profound sense of loss when her stories are completed. She weaves her tale and build the world in a way that makes you part of the story. I am so drawn in, only to get to the end and be left counting the minutes until I can continue the tale once more. This book is what I will call a growing book. The Main character is no longer a child and is coming into her own. What that means in full, we will soon see but it is a pleasure to listen to the tale unfold.
Grace and Teddy do a marvelous job on narration. There performances are flawless. Teddy has become one of my insta-buy men when it comes to narration. I am never disappointed with what he brings to the table.

Concerto
By: Skye Warren
Narrated by: Grace Grant, Teddy Hamilton
Series: North Security, Book 2
Liam and Samantha’s story continue with Concerto. Being a music lover, I am feeling the build up to a crescendo in this part of the trilogy. With Samantha on tour now and away from Liam, she is given little independence. She is still in danger and it seems no matter how she is protected, it’s not enough. Her father is always lurking. As hard as he tries to stay away, Liam just can’t and their relationship though steamy, it still lacks the real love and commitment they both seek. Liam holds back. But now things are getting out of hand, the twists and turns are great, we don’t know who to trust and the show is almost over. What will happen next? I can’t wait to see! Skye Warren needs to bring this down with a strong forte and then glide into a beautiful love song! I am just hoping I am not asking for too much!
Teddy Hamilton and Grace Grant continue their wonderful narration of this story. They each bring a semblance of realism to the narration, where it’s easy to understand each character’s whims and motives. I loved it and can’t wait for them to finish out the trilogy.

I can say for sure that I liked this book way more than the first part.But still,when it comes to characters and romance I’m just not sure.
This book was very interesting to me.I loved the plot.Samantha is preparing for her show and while there she meets a lot of different people.It feels like she is free,for the first time in her life.But,her father poses a danger for her so Liam is there to protect her.
The plot was fine,it was moving forward and the book wasn’t boring.
But I still haven’t changed my opinion of the characters and their romance.
Bravo! Another Fantastic Story & Audible Listen
Concerto
By: Skye Warren
Narrated by: Grace Grant, Teddy Hamilton
Series: North Security, Book 2
Skye Warren continues her “North Security” series with Samantha joining a tour company to perform and share her musical greatness. Liam had to let her go out on her own, not leaving her unprotected he assigned his brother Josh for security. But he could not stay away from her for long. This is one amazing suspenseful romance, there are twists and turns that have your head spinning, thrilling suspense that brings you to the edge of your seat and hot romance that will have you fanning yourself. This book mesmerized me from start to end, it is an emotional rollercoaster and keeps you on your toes. I am looking forward the the next book in the series. Skye Warren, thank you for another great story.
I listened to the Audible edition, the talented Teddy Hamilton and Grace Grant continue to bring this story and it’s characters to life from the pages to your ears. They put a lot of heart into their performances, you can hear the emotions of the characters as well as the drama of the story which enhances the story even more. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen
Thank you @AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsessionReviewer
Romance builds and drama continues
This the continuation of Liam and Samantha’s story that was started in Overture. Liam is, as Samantha defines his personality, controlling, stubborn, and emotionally closed man. But she loves him anyway. Samantha was his ward since she was 12 now that she is 18 he is no longer her guardian. The suspense subplot heats up and not only Liam is trying to keep her safe but also the other North brothers, Elijah and Josh. As an aside, I hope that Skye writes books for both these North brothers! Liam and Samantha have a heat level that is off the charts. There really isn’t an HEA for these two in this book but there is a resolution to one part of the story the assassination attempts on Samantha come to a head and she learns who is trying to kill her. Skye’s writing allows me to be up close and personal with her characters and the story she is telling. This storyline kept me engaged. This story does end in a bit of a question. I recommend this book!
It’s impossible to review this without linking it to the first book in the series, Overture. I was originally drawn to these books because I’ve raised one of these rare musical prodigies and was interested to hear another story about one. These books, however, start there and go WAY beyond. I am waiting breathlessly for the final one, Sonata.
The love story is full of tragedy and angst, and the mystery keeps the reader as well as the characters guessing. It’s a beautifully written story.
I have been waiting for this book since reading Overture. We get a continuation of Samantha and Liam’s story.
Samantha has left the sanctuary of Liam’s liar and is doing her world tour. Along the way she meets new people, makes friends, and tries to peel away at the wall Liam has built around himself.
We get to learn more from their pasts and learn why Liam is as protective as he is. There are also some twist and turns thrown into the story that by the end you are just not sure who to trust.
I feel like I have been cut open and my emotions are bleeding and raw!! LOVE IT!!!! How Skye Warren can catch you in literal rapture is truly amazing.. Just when I thought I couldn’t fall any further into the rabbit hole, Warren dug the hole deeper. What an amazing ride. Cannot wait until the third book, which I already pre-ordered.
I wasn’t expecting a third book but with that ending, thank goodness. I read some reviews before writing my own and one of them mentioned that the cliffhanger was unnecessary but I still want to know more about the secret message she may remember that everyone seems to be after as well as the situation with her father. the timing of everything and the progression between Samantha and liam was realistic and good so I think the author had a good call on that one. besides, we never know what she might add on to the plot.
on top of the dangers going around them and her starting her life out into the public, we see the battle of mindset with their relationship. owing or owning, obligation or obsession. picking up the pieces as they figure out the differences. I enjoyed reading how they tried to differentiate them.
and JOSH! Ill just go ahead and assume he’ll have his own story line. the small bits and pieces I read about regarding their childhood is heartbreaking and josh’s loyalties were surprisingly made clear.
“My feelings for my former guardian are complex and circuitous, winding around landmines of gratitude and protection and the forbidden nature of my desire.”
As I read, I was constantly reminded of how incredibly talented and eloquent Skye Warren is. She must have spent countless hours researching what violins, orchestras, composers, what professional musicians experiences while on tour, etc.. Everything was so crystal clear and graphic, it felt like I was physically with Samantha and Liam!!!
CONCERTO is such an atypical romance; this story is totally unlike anything else out there! I loved the angsty chemistry between the main characters as well as their banter with the other characters. A bonus was having visits from characters Warren has written about in other books such as Candy, Ivan, Bea, Hugo, Damon & even mention of Blue!!! I especially loved that we got to know more about Liam in this installment, letting us know why he is the way he is.
As an editor/proofreader, my biggest pet peeves are typos, so I was thrilled by the fact that I literally only found one mistake in this entire book! I’ve read 89 books in 2019, and this is the very first that was practically error free (I listened to OVERTURE in audio format but suspect that was flawless or nearly flawless as well)!!! It’s SOOO refreshing to be able to simply enjoy a book while not being constantly distracted by grammatical errors and mistakes!!!!
Concerto is such an apt title for this book. This is really Samantha Brooks’s book. She’s not the meek little girl anymore. She’s been hurt, she’s been rejected, and now she wants nothing to do with that part of her old life. She’s a woman anew, and all she wants to do is move on. Her music is being recognized, and Samantha is slowly becoming celebrity.
But what’s a girl to do if her old life is not ready to let her go?
Liam is the main part of her old life. He has hurt her, and Samantha is wary to put her heart on the line again. She can’t help it however. The overbearing man won’t leave her alone, and her feelings for him never really died in the first place. In fact they’re stronger than ever, and the power he has over Samantha is heady.
Skye’s books are always like catnip, but this series in particular…my god. I have no words. The lyrical style of her writing goes perfectly with the musical premise of this story. And her characters are stonger than ever. They all have this distinctive voice, and reading about them kept me flipping the pages.
And when a good story has smoking hot sex- which is another one of Skye’s staples- it’s an added bonus. This book had that in spades.
The twists and turns of the story had me on the edge of my seat, clamoring to find out what happens next. The conclusion cannot come fast enough.
Concerto is the continuation of Liam and Samantha’s story, you must read Overture first.
Liam is the owner of North Security. He has a background in military and is very disciplined in all things about his life. Including his guard on Samantha Brooks.
Samantha was a child prodigy, now she’s an adult and signed up for a tour around the country playing the violin.
Samantha is in danger, Liam is destined to keep her safe, he puts his brother Josh on her security detail. Josh seems to be more lenient than Liam. Samantha is also Liam’s weakness, he worries the danger is using her to lure him out of the shadows. What happens when everything happens and they realize that isn’t the case at all?
Liam and Samantha’s relationship is unconventional to say the least. I loved how we got both character pov. Even a little of Josh as well. I love how Samantha is sweet and seems so innocent but she is so wise beyond her years, she is educated thanks to living with Liam and learning from the others at the compound where they lived.
I loved this book so much, of course the cliffhanger killed me! BUT the next book will cure that right up 😉
Concerto is the gripping sequel to a high suspense, high thrill, highly erotic read that captured me heart and soul.
This forbidden romance is the ultimate taboo perfection that twisted and tormented me from start to finish. I found myself gripping my kindle as if my life depended on it! This thrilling, off limits romance was everything my lil sub heart needed out of a sexy read! Add in the heart stopping suspense, breathtaking chemistry, and angst that hurt my soul, and you have an irresistible, unforgettable love story.
I am addicted to Liam North and after that ending? I need Book 3 immediately.
OMFG! Concerto is mouthwatering perfection on steroids!!!!
Bring on the fans because this baby is going to scorch your ever desire and plenty more! Just when you thought you read it all Skye hits us with delectable follow up that has me yearning to reread every page and then lick them! Ladies this is a must read like now!!!
