Aria Valencia is a music student just trying to manage her schooling and make enough money to get by.  Shadow Tremaine has spent a lifetime being groomed for a destiny he holds only disdain for and wants no part of.  They are introduced by a chance meeting when Aria is asked to play for a secret society.  What starts out as an intense attraction quickly turns into a journey of mystery, love and deception.Logan Patricks has created a private world where things are not as they seem and where ruthlessness is masked by sophistication.  Aria is a beautiful strong-willed woman who attempts to keep some distance from a man whose world is surrounded by money, lust and greed.  Shadow can have any woman he wants but only desires an unknown concert pianist to be by his side while struggling with demons from his past.  With this story being told through the eyes of Aria, this male author not only achieves his goal of successfully writing from the heroine's POV but masters it.  There are moments that will make you cringe and twists that are unexpected in this fast paced romantic thriller and for those who crave an intimate connection, the sex is erotic, passionate and well-written.Semblance is book one and it's obvious to me that Mr. Patricks is heading in the right direction and I can't wait for more novels in this series about unlocking the secrets of The Midnight Society.Highly recommend.
