Overview

He wasn’t looking for a savior…
Scarred at a young age, Dominique Maksylov, Royal Prince of Russia, has lived a reclusive life. As a musical prodigy, his music has wide reach into the world, but few ever see his face. He never ventures into polite society, but when he dis-covers he is the only heir to the Earldom of Harriss, he goes to one ball. And that one ball, was enough to change the direction of his life forever.
But how could he possibly have known that other person— the other half of his whole—would not only need his help but threaten his very existence?

She didn’t know how hard it would be to love the broken.
Isabelle Hartwell’s mother just sold her to the Beast of Russia. He’s mean, tem-peramental, and the most virile, handsome man she has ever encountered. But he has a secret, one he’s willing to die for and he refuses to let anyone in. Will she be able to reach his heart before it’s too late?

Find out if love prevails in this regency retelling of how Beauty tamed the savage Beast…

    Just like most of Rachel's characters I fell in love with Domini

    Just like most of Rachel's characters I fell in love with Dominique and Isabelle. Dominique, a musical prodigy with a tortured past so devastating that to survive he created walls and barriers so solid no one could get through (or so he hoped). Isabelle, the younger sister of Rosalind, sold like property to the one they call the beast. On her way to captivity Isabelle asks Dominique why did he buy her he responds "Because when I saw you the music changed." With that cryptic response Isabelle is whisked off to a castle with no idea what was in store. Dominique enlists the help of his friend the "Wolf" and it is an interesting and funny journey as beauty tries to tame her beast but are the walls to thick for even Isabelle to break thru? It was an amazing read truly! I swear Rachel gets better and better with each book she writes OH and the teaser at the end for Wolf's story had me in tears begging for more! The London Fairy Tale series is a MUST READ for all that love regency OR fairy tales (or if you are like me BOTH!) Cant wait to see what else this talented writer has up her sleeve!

    Ok

    I was thoroughly disappointed, Dominique just went on and on thru the whole book about his not being loved and about his parents. He treated Isabelle awful until the very end. No sex scenes. Definitely not a five star book, was generous to even give three stars.

    Different, but not concise

    This was the first Rachel Van Dyken book I've ever purchased, and I must admit I should have read the reviews prior to buying. The book has intresting moments, but it's not consistant and it's hard to follow the characters when transitions (such as riding on top of a horse, but the character is suddenly walking) are not clearly written. I'll give the book kudos for being different in the way of Dominque being a piano prodigy, but beware, the book begins with Isabelle and Dominque already knowing each other. There is very little written about the characters past and how they came to know each other.

    Review:


    "Whispered Music"(London Fairy Tales#2) by Rachel Van Dyken was another one of her awesome regency historical romance series. This story picks up from 'Upon A Midnight Dream...being the story of Isabeth that had been kidnapped by Russian Prince....and then this story starts and this is where I say you must pick up this read to see what this author has in store for the reader. You will find that the story is paced well with well portrayed characters that keep you reading until the end. You will find Isabelle Hartwell who was intelligent, courageous, with a big heart and then their is Dominique 'The Beast' who only thought of his music. This was like 'Beauty and the Beast' that ended up a wonderful love story loses it all but after all is said and done were able to heal once again. I really enjoyed this author's 'fairy tale character 'Hunter, The Wolf who acted as Dominique's conscience when it came to the treatment of his 'new wife.'

    I loved the quotes that this author used at the beginning of each chapter.......one I loved:


    "When you have lost your way, when the world appears as if it is crumbling around you,
    perhaps, just maybe, you should close your eyes. By looking outward we forget the
    strength that is given inward. We can only see part of the picture with our eyes open.
    But, when they are closed, we see as a whole. We concentrate not on what we can
    see, but on the faith of what we know to be true."


    All I am left to say is that I found "Whispered Music" a excellent read that only this author is known to put out. Would I recommend this read? YES!
