When asked to be a part of the book tour for An Aria In Venice, I wasted no time in saying YES! I fell in love with the first book, The Prelude, and I just assumed this book would pick up with Erin and Alek's story where it left off. I was surprised to find that An Aria In Venice was Adriana's story—Adriana is Alek's baby sister. I didn't read the synopsis, so when I realized this was her story, and that it coincides with Erin and Alek's during the first book (which pulled me into this book just as much, if not faster and deeper) I was saying, WOW, this is so awesome. I got to see glimpses of Adriana, Nikolai and Luca in The Prelude, but I had no idea that there was a romance with these three going on in the background of Erin and Alek's romance in the first book. But as I read, it was awesome to see the bigger story going on with these three characters alone with Erin and Alek's story in The Prelude. That is just very creative, and a great show of the author's talent as a storyteller.Adriana is a twenty-one-year old, professional ballerina, and she’s trying to spread her wings. To become her own person. Her whole life she’s been guarded and protected by her big brother Alek, her mother, and Alek's best friend Nikolai—especially after they had to escape from Russia and her mafia father when she was thirteen.You might think at first there’s a love triangle between Adriana, Nikolai, and Luca, but actually it’s Adriana’s time to grow as woman and discover what true love really is and means.Adriana has been in love with Nikolai (Alek's best friend, and also who their mother has taken in because of Nikolai’s horrible home life), who escapes with Adriana and her family from Russia. But when Adriana meets Luca, he's going to open Adriana's heart to true love and Adriana will have to really look inside her heart and mind to see her true feelings for Nikolai. I will say I wasn't sure about which of these two guys I wanted to see Adriana with, not until almost the end of the story (that makes for a fantastic storyline for me), but when I finally get to see into Nikolai’s head it becomes very clear very fast who I want to see Adriana with. Now with saying that, I would like to also say I do love Nikolai; this man is delicious and he does love Adriana, but he's got some wicked stuff going on in that heart and mind of his. I do hope author KaSonndra Leigh is giving Nikolai his own story, because I so want to get more into Nikolai’s head and the woman who can claim this man.I love the When asked to be a part of the book tour for An Aria In Venice, I wasted no time in saying YES!

I definitely recommend An Aria In Venice and the A Musical Interlude series for all who love to see the badass ballerina (“badass ballerina” is Luca's nickname for Adriana) get the bad boy., with the storyline around the musical opera world of Italy with maestros, ballerinas, designers and beautiful, steamy romance.
