Dark Notes by Pam Goodwin
Book description:
I had a plan to make it through the year, and my musical talent was supposed to be my ticket to freedom. But then Eric Marceau appeared, and everything changed. He sees the darkness in me and makes it sound beautiful with his music. He's my temptation and my downfall. When he's around, my willpower disappears, and I'm willing to risk everything for just one more forbidden moment with him - the man who's my teacher.
This story follows a poor student with a troubled home life and a wealthy teacher with a perfect family. You'll get to read about the development of their complicated relationship in the book, but I'll share some moments that might either repel or intrigue you.
The book tackles some heavy themes, like alcoholism, abuse, forbidden relationships, family dynamics, and even animal cruelty - it's a short scene, but it's intense. I loved the music aspect - I'm a musician myself, and it was amazing to see classical music references throughout the book. It's like the music came alive in my head, and I found myself humming the tunes.
Make no mistake, this isn't just a romance novel; it's more of an erotic novel with a lot of explicit content and BDSM themes. It's raw, intense, and beautifully written, with a focus on the complexities of their relationship.
The chemistry between the main characters is more than just physical - it's musical. The music accompanies them throughout their lives and in their intimate moments, making their love story feel authentic and relatable.
I appreciated how the author explored the complexities of their relationship, making it feel authentic and relatable. The writing is engaging, and the story will keep you hooked until the very end.
I have to admit, I was hooked from the beginning and couldn't put the book down. The characters are well-developed, and their story is one you won't soon forget.
One of the things that stood out to me was the author's use of music as a way to describe the characters' emotions and relationship. It was a unique and effective approach that added depth to the story.
The book also explores the consequences of their actions, and it's not afraid to tackle some tough subjects. It's a thought-provoking read that will stay with you long after you finish the book.
Overall, I'd highly recommend 'Dark Notes' to anyone looking for a gripping and intense read. Just be prepared for a wild ride!
Thanks for reading!
