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’s 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!
