review 1: Rating: 3 out of 5 stars, for confusing elementsBack cover:Britta Lindquist left Sitka six years ago in an attempt to distance herself from the love of her life, Yuri Belikov. Upon her return, she finds Yuri absent and his wife about to deliver a child. When tragic circumstances ensue, Britta suddenly finds herself caring for Yuri's children--and her life intertwining with the man she's tried so hard to forget. But Britta's other great love is for the violin, and her talent is recognized by Brenton Maltese, a conductor from England. He proposes she accept the coveted first chair position in his orchestra and also his hand in marriage. At a crossroads, Britta must determine what her heart truly longs for--and if she's willing to fight for it.The positives:I loved all of Bri... moretta's family and her also. I loved that it was set in Alaska and was able to visualize it very well. I thought her relationship with Yuri was very well written and very believable.The negatives:Probably because I haven't read the first two books of the series, everything in this book seemed a bit disjointed. From the back cover, I thought this book would have more to do with her violin and Brenton Maltese. During the who course of the book, Britta didn't play her violin even once. And Brenton Maltese only had a very small part in the book. The book constantly switched point of views. And Lydia's family relationships confused me. Is Aunt Evie Dalton's sister? Or Lydia's sister? I couldn't figure that one out. Also it seemed confusing that Marston was much older than Dalton, even though they were brothers. That would have made Lydia's first husband much older than she was. Very confusing.Overall:All in all, this book was a very enjoyable read, even with some technical problems.
review 2: Twilight's Serenade by Tracie Peterson is the third book in the Songs of Alaska series. Britta Lindquist has returned home to Sitka, Alaska, after spending six years on tour playing her violin around the world. She has a difficult choice to make: marry Brenton Maltese and accept his invitation to be first chair in a new orchestra in London, or stay home with her large family and try to get over her life-long love for Yuri Belikov. When she arrives home, she quickly finds herself helping Yuri's wife give birth to their second child, but tragedy strikes, and Yuri and Britta find their lives entwined in ways that neither of them ever expected. For the most part, Peterson does a terrific job getting first time readers up to speed on the history, although Lydia's coldness toward Marston was a bit hard to swallow without knowing more about their backstory. Britta is a terrific heroine, fierce in her love, devoted to her family, and with an enormous amount of heart. Peterson throws in a devastating twist that will break readers' hearts. It's a satisfying conclusion to a epic story about the Lindquist family that ends with everyone happily ever after. less
