Music superstar Noelle Laurent refuses to record the music her producers have lined up for her new album. Prepared to break her contract if necessary, all Noelle wants is a chance to sing her own songs. Desperate, the producers bring in their CEO, business tycoon Helena Forsythe, who is infamous for not taking any prisoners. Noelle expects the CEO to be the company bitch everybody fears but she is not prepared to be so affected by Helena's formidable presence and charisma. For Helena, it's all about the money, so why change a winning game plan? However, when Noelle shows unexpected strength and courage in the negotiations, Helena knows she has to change her usual steamroller approach. Trying charm instead of brute force, Helena is blind-sided by her own unexpected feelings. When Noelle responds in kind, the stakes escalate for both women, who risk not only their professional futures but everything when it comes to their hearts.

Fierce Overture has all my favorite romance novel themes: a May/December relationship, the realistic and troubling internal struggles of wondering "does she like me or does she not?" plus sweet and endearing meets cold and indifferent which, of course, is secretly hiding a heart of gold and protective instinct.
Both women are an interesting combination of contradictions. Noelle is a super-popular singer who has a reputation for being a party girl and diva when she's actually shy and caring. Helena, the icy CEO of the company that produces Noelle's albums, is (in stereotypical love story fashion) afraid to trust her own feelings or heart.
The dynamics between them is amazing and as unrealistic as it can sometimes be there are all-too-familiar real life sentences like this: "Noelle wondered how a person could radiate so much presence that a room seemed empty and cold once she left." Another passage, kind of heartbreaking, goes: "Helena was hot and cold, stubborn and compliant, kind and stern, and most of all, she was apparently less affected by Noelle than Noelle was by her."
Not every reader goes for the back-and-forth doubts and behaviors that go with two women being insecure in love. But those who either understand it or have experienced it in their own lives will gobble this up like candy. ( )
