Blurb
He’s always protected me since I was eight years old, the neglected girl he took off the street and raised as his own. Laszlo can feel what music needs instinctively. He can tell what I need.
My world shattered
the night of my eighteenth birthday and he still hasn’t forgiven me for what I
did. I’m not asking him to love me, touch me, take me to bed. What I want goes
deeper than that and I have to say this out loud because it’s one thing that
music won’t be able to tell him.
I want what only
Laszlo can give me. I want to be his protégé again. And this time, I’m going to
be so good for him.
Yes, maestro.
Yes, sir.
Yes, daddy.
Yes, maestro.
Yes, sir.
Yes, daddy.
There's nothing Brianna Hale likes more than a large, stern
alpha male with a super-protective and caring streak, and when she's not
writing about them she can usually be found with a book, a cocktail, planning
her next trip to a beautiful location or attending the theatre. She believes
that pink and empowerment aren’t mutually exclusive, and everyday adventures
are possible. Brianna lives in London.

***** MY REVIEW ******
The Protégé by Brianna Hale is a complex and beautiful love story.
Isabeau Laurent was only eight years
old when her life changed literally overnight. Picked up from the street, her
raw talent as a cellist was honed to perfection as she grew into a beautiful young
woman. She was a young woman who had fallen in love with her
guardian, her music maestro. Life was going good yet a mistake cost her
everything she ever wanted and she was determined to fix it. Laszlo Valmary
knew talent when he saw one and to him Isabeau had it in spades. One thing that
tested his control and left him out of tune was his own attraction to his young
protégé. But when Isabeau dared to go further in their relationship,
Laszlo didn’t know what to think and it ended their guardian/ward relationship
until Isabeau came back into Laszlo’s life. Will he accept the love she gives
or will he continue to push her further away? This is a beautifully written,
complex romance that centers around a DD/lg dynamic. You have an older
male/ young woman trope going on with
the added icing of DD/lg going on. This is one hot, dark. intriguing, angsty, and passionate. The way BDSM is worked
into the story is amazing and quite intriguing. I enjoyed every moment of
Isabeau and Laszlo’s 2nd chance romance. It is a must read!!!!
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****
