Dark Notes by Pam Godwin

Dark Notes was my first book by Pam Godwin and it was shocking, erotic, and combustible. I certainly had to fan myself a couple of times while reading their story. Emeric and Ivory made for an amazingly hot and sexy couple. While the age difference did bother me at first, Ivory was incredibly mature for her age—especially after going through all that trauma. They did not consummate their relationship until the end.

While I was reading this book, I could not stop thinking about Emeric and Ivory. Their chemistry was everything and the sexual tension between the two was bloody amazing. It just kept building up and up! I was also so afraid for them. I just wanted Emeric and Ivory to be happy TOGETHER. My heart also broke for Ivory because the people in her life were terrible human beings, except for Stogie and Emeric.

In the end, this was one of my favorite reads by Pam Godwin and it made me an instant fan of hers! Dark Notes had everything I want in a dark romance—emotion, angst, and a romance that left me feeling breathless. Emory and Ivory will always be one of my favorite couples because of how much growth and development these two went through. I highly recommend this book to those who love stories featuring an age-gap and forbidden romance with a young but legal and mature heroine who knows exactly what she wants and a hero who will do anything to keep her. It’s also a little taboo because of the student-teacher relationship.
