Pam Godwin's exceptional prose is matched eloquently and deliciously well by Tad Branson and Ava Erickson. This is a story about finding love and passion and fighting for it regardless of the consequences it's about love and lust and everything else in between, of letting go and ultimately discovering your truest and home. But that's the thing about this novel-it's more than just about the main characters being student and teacher. From the get-go, Ivory Westbrook and Emeric Marceaux are more than aware of the position each plays in the other's life. Dark Notes isn't my first teacher-student romance-nor, I highly suspect, will it be my last-but it is the first that goes beyond the usual innocent flirtations and flourishing infatuations that later become intriguing when identities are further revealed. As is the case with all things so-many-books-so-little-time, I hadn't gotten around to reading this particular forbidden romance involving a seventeen-year-old piano prodigy and the lone scholar in a renowned academy and the brand-new head of the music department ten years her senior who becomes committed to teaching her a thing or two about discipline-of her instrument and her body. One of my dearest book friends has been recommending this book to me ever since we first realized we both shared a love of Pam Godwin's writing. Hands down, one of the best audiobooks ever!

I can’t wait for more books on audio by the author! The narration was great, Ava Erickson & Tad Branson were cast very well for this book!

If an author can make me feel insta-love then they have done a great job because it’s really a hard no for me normally. it’s insta-love/lust and I didn’t even care after a couple chapters.

The sex was hot, the story line hard and the characters were great! And here is the kicker for anyone who knows me. This book is one you start and finish in the same day, it’s very fast and never really slowed down. Yes that is vague but I’m trying not to spoil it by explaining what I liked the most lol. Thankfully it wasn’t, well it was but not in the way I expected which is what I enjoyed so much about this book! I spent the whole book waiting for the big reveal and I’m so glad it wasn’t as BIG as I expected. I don’t say that because it has anything that bothers me in it but because I have to be in the mood for high drama and I would have just assumed this would be exactly that. I had no idea what this was even about when I started am I glad because I’ll be honest I might have put it off for a later date if I had known.
