A Perfect Duet
Meek Miranda Granville only comes alive at the pianoforte, but even there, Andrew Owen intimidates her. His own playing moves her like nothing else, but his critiques of her spoil the effect.
Andrew only wants to share the advantage of his training with Miranda, but his words always seem to come out wrong. The trouble is he’d rather be running his fingers over her than the keyboard, but she’s been promised to his rogue of a cousin Julian since childhood.
When Julian stands Miranda up at the village bonfire celebration, Andrew gets a chance to strike a chord with her – but if he wants to make her his, he’ll have to outplay both his cousin and her father.

Short quick easy romance read about a woman named Miranda, who plays the piano and is love with her best friend's brother Julian who she has betothed to since they were very small. As Miranda grows up, she realizes that she is in love with Andrew,Julian's cousin and now must figure out a way to get out of her this pre-promised marriage.

I was rather disappointed in this one. The characters were not well thought out. Miranda, for instance, speaks of how she always urged her family to go to London for the season (where there would be nothing but people) and barely a sentence later she is descibed as shy and nervous around people. It made no sense.
It was a quick read and not one I would pick up again.

A good, short read.
I liked this book. The characters and story were good. And it had a little spiciness, but nothing descriptive.
