Julia (Women of Worcester Book 2) by Julie Matern
Julia
Deverell is a talented musician with a secret. Alexander Trevellyan
threatens to expose that secret. Can they come to some agreement? Will
they fall in love in the process?
When Julia
Deverell plays the piano, everyone is entranced, even the handsome
stranger who guesses her secret. But when she hears that he has
criticized her method in public she declares him public enemy number
one. However, when circumstances force them together, she cannot deny he
possesses an undeniable charisma. If only she had not determined to
dislike him.
Alex is a classical music student at Oxford. Music
is not one of the approved careers for second sons and he endures
lifelong ridicule, but his exceptional talent dictates the future course
of his life. When he attends his aunt’s party and hears Julia play, he
is mesmerized until she makes an error and he guesses her secret. Envy
drives him to criticize her in the hearing of another guest but almost
immediately he regrets his action and vows never to let petty jealousy
get the better of him again.
When asked to play a duet with Julia
by his aunt, an irrefutable attraction sparks but Julia seems
determined to ignore it and shun him. Can he convince her to give him a
chance?
Julia is the second novella in the Women of Worcester series.
My Review: 4 Stars
I love music and wish I would've stuck with the piano. Julia is an extremely talented pianist but has a secret to her method and Alex figures it out almost immediately. I loved his cocky attitude and her insecurities, and it was so much fun to watch them learn to play together. Their interactions were so delightful!
The Women of Worcester series is all about strong and slightly unconventional women. I enjoyed reading about not only the experiences that the piano gave to Julia but the relationship and romance that resulted.
