They call me a slut.
Maybe I am.
Sometimes I do things I despise.
Sometimes men take without asking.
But I have a musical gift, only a year left of high school, and a plan.
With one obstacle.
Emeric Marceaux doesn’t just take.
He seizes my will power and bangs it like a dark note.
When he commands me to play, I want to give him everything.
I kneel for his punishments, tremble for his touch, and risk it all for our stolen moments.
He’s my obsession, my master, my music.
And my teacher.

"Dark Notes" is a symphony of suspense and passion that strikes all the right chords. From the first page, it grips you with its raw intensity and intricate characters, making it impossible to put down. Ivory Westbrook, the fierce yet vulnerable heroine, and Emeric Marceaux, the enigmatic and dominant maestro, create a duet that is both darkly enchanting and beautifully redemptive.
Godwin's prose is like a perfectly composed piece of music—each note meticulously placed to evoke deep emotions and keep the reader enthralled. The story dives into themes of resilience and healing, wrapped in a deliciously taboo romance that defies convention. With a blend of steamy romance, dark undertones, and a plot that keeps you guessing, "Dark Notes" is a standout performance in the world of dark romance. Prepare to be seduced by its melody and left craving an encore.
In short, "Dark Notes" hits all the high notes and leaves you humming its tune long after the final page. Pam Godwin, take a bow—you've composed a masterpiece.
I've had this on my TO READ list for awhile now, and finally decided to give it a go today.
I enjoyed the heck out of this one. Ivory broke my heart, the things that poor girl had been through...heartbreaking. Still, she came across as a strong and resilient character that was a pleasure to read. Emeric, what can I say. He was HOT and SEXY and DOMINANT. He was also loving, and sweet. From the minute he set eyes on Ivory, he was done for.
That said, there were a couple of things I thought were kind of wrapped up rather quickly and unceremoniously. Joanne for one. Why was she even part of the book? Her inclusion was minor, and she didn't really cause any rift in Ivory and Emeric's relationship. She was a catalyst for him moving from his prior school, that I got, but the whole she pregnant and the baby may be mine was included and solved with minimal effort. I also thought the whole Ivory getting kicked out then barely 5 minutes later the situation is resolved. Again with minimal fanfare. Both things just seemed to be swept under the rug.
Overall other than a couple of small complaints, this one was a really enjoyable read.
