I have to say, that The Prelude by KaSonndra Leigh was
surprisingly a can-not-put-this-book-down read! There were some grammar errors
(as if I have room to talk..), but the story line was certainly well
thought-out and executed pretty brilliantly!
We start off meeting Erin Angelo during a very traumatic
event in her life, that set the course of the path she decides to go down, not
only in life but career wise too. We get offered quite a bit of background
information about our heroine, Erin, right in the beginning, as to why she has
chosen the career she has, and why she faces the demons that she does.
However, when we meet Alek Dostov, the sexy Maestro who has
hired Erin to design the wardrobe for his symphony, he is a complete mystery.
Even in the duel point-of-view, we don’t get his background information until
he confides it to Erin. But let me tell you, it’s one pretty scary shit of a
background!
It’s almost surprising to me that Erin has more trust and
commitment issues than Alek, when in all honesty, I think Alek has the darker
past. Alek’s family history kind of puts Erin’s to shame, and that saying
something because Erin had some pretty horrific experiences at way too young of
an age.
When our two main characters, Erin and Alek, come up with
the “arrangement” to keep things simple and just use each other for sex, you
almost want to laugh because we all know that this is just a way for them to be
together without actually saying they are together. And we all know that the
one who came up with the idea is the one who really wants more from the other
person, and that would be our hot musical genius, Alek.
What I really enjoyed most about this book was that our male
character, Alek, was pushing our heroine, Erin, to open up to him. Alek was the
one realizing that they had some special and was the one really chasing after
her every time she tried to push him away due to her fighting her demons. It’s
a little rare in a lot of books to have the guy chasing after the girl to make
her realize what they have between one another, instead of the girl trying to
make the guy understand what they mean to each other.
Erin’s character certainly kept me confused sometimes. I
wanted to slap a reality check into her sometimes when she kept trying to act
like she couldn’t be with Alek. However, there are a few things Alek does that
kind of pisses me off, that Erin doesn’t even get a little bit upset about. I
don’t want to spoil anything, so I won’t say what he does… but I’ll give this
hint: it’s when he takes he away for the weekend.
Overall, it was a wonderful love story, and the end had me
in tears. There aren’t any cliffhangers, but I certainly think there is enough
for a sequel to be written. I’m sure hoping for it, as I would love to read
more of Erin and Alek!
