review 1: 3.5 very good read. May contain slight spoilersThe Becker's are a musical family, both siblings play the piano very well. However not only is Clara Becker a gifted pianist but also a composer. The only problem is, is that she's a female. In this era it was uncommon and often frowned on for women to take on anything other than sewing, breeding, and shopping.The Becker family lives in poverty and only just makes it buy selling the music manuscripts under clara's brother Nicholas' name. Darien Reynard is a gifted violinist, known far and wide. Upon playing a new composition by 'nicholas becker's Darien was enthralled, he knew this was the edge he's been looking for.The Becker's receive an opportunity out of poverty when Darien shows up at their home offering for Nicholas to ... moretour with him composing and he'll be compensated handsomely. Father Becker talks Darien to touring with both siblings (seeing as Nicholas isn't the composer shh). So they set off . . . Nicholas starts to feel the pressure and discomforts of lying and playing in large audiences. With Clara and Darien in such close quarters there is an attraction that just may spell ruin. I enjoyed this book very much. The pace was slow, then quick(back and forth) I wish the attraction would have lead to love in a different way. They both seemed to lusts after each other, and at a point they don't even try to fight it. They had sex...then they realized they loved each other after playing music together . . . Hmm. Ok either way it was enjoyable. 3.5 very good ...just missing something.
review 2: I would like to give this book a much higher rating. I really liked the story, the characters and the historical setting was brilliant. I guess I'm just over a lot of graphic sex in my romances, even if it is done well. So if you like a great story, characters you can invest in, good writing and a fair amount of sex, this is the book for you.I think it would stand alone without the sex. Just saying. less
