Mistress of Melody by Anthea Lawson
4.0
This second one wasn't as strong for me as the first in the series. I was pleasantly surprised by the first in the series, and the fanciful and imaginative descriptions of the feelings and smells evoked by the music were new and interesting.
In this book, I kept running up against difficulties with the heroine's behavior-- like going to a noble's home at night alone or never reaching out to her uncle in Italy. And then there was the fanciful descriptions of the music. For some reason, in this book, they didn't come off as natural and believable for me.
Still entertaining, nice romantic read that stands apart from other historical romances of this ilk due to the central focus on music, but not quite as good as the first one.
