Passionate Overture is the first part of a six act series of fantasy BDSM novellas that give a modern twist to a timeless classic: The Phantom of the Opera.While there are no erotic scenes in this first installment, I couldn't help but turn every page. You are presented with two questions throughout this first novella: First, who is the Master? and Secondly: what happened to Tara? Those questions alone will create a delicious tension that will have you wanting to read on.Christine Davis is an apprentice at the Santa Fe Opera House. As with most interns and apprentices Christy gets stuck doing Inventory or grunt work as some would call it. But, she's okay with that, it's a foot in the door to a bigger picture for her. As she works in the lower levels she has a few instances that really freak her out and put her on edge. While I love Christine's character, I think as an overall whole she needs a little work. One instance she wants to break away from her father and become an independent person, the next she's cowering from Carla? Come on now woman! Grow a pair!This Master's tale is set in Santa Fe New Mexico and the author did an amazing job creating a beautiful imagery for this setting. We as the readers, can see exactly what surrounds Christy as she succumbs to the beauty of the city she now resides in. I can't wait to read the next book in this Masters tale.
