n this book the misunderstandings come from the heroine's brash younger step-sister Angela and her philandering boyfriend Maurice, who decides he likes Erica better. Lovely hero in the conductor Charles Winlake. As usual it all hangs on our hero not telling our heroine that the woman he is protecting is his sister. However, this heroine is a confident and level headed. One odd bit was she would not leave the family to go back to her musical training but jumps at marrying him and travelling the world away from said family and no mention of her training ever comes up again.… (more)
A sort of 1950's Georgette Heyer in Spain with all the fun squeezed out.
