‘one of Mills and Boon’s most popular authors.’ – The Guardian

Tessa Morley has spent her entire life in the shadow of her beautiful and bewitching twin sister Tania. Unlike Tania, whose vivacious beauty and outgoing personality have ensured that she is forever in the limelight, Tessa lacks her sister’s confidence and has always been exceedingly shy. Although blessed with the voice of an angel, and musical talent that far surpasses that of her twin, Tessa has never been given the same kind of chances as her sister because she happened to be born lame.

With the dream of a stage career out of reach, Tessa has taken work as a secretary for Quentin Otway, the arrogant and temperamental artistic director for the Northern Counties Festival who, along with famous conductor Oscar Warrender, is responsible for the gathering of significant musical talent for the festival. Tania, determined to be cast in the festival’s production of Cosi fan tutte, convinces Tessa to ask Otway for an audition — and without warning Tessa finds herself having to deny her one great talent…her voice.

As upsetting as the situation is, Tessa is willing to bear the hurt for the sake of her sister, whom she loves dearly, but then it seems Tania will even rob Tessa of the man she loves. Her only consolation comes in the form of Oscar, whose keen ear identifies Tessa’s skill and who insists that for the first time in her life Tessa must take centre stage. Will Otway see Tessa for who she really is? Or is she doomed forever to be overshadowed by her sister?

5.0 out of 5 stars confusing yet delightful
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2024

I really enjoyed this book, the second in the Warrender series. It was fun to see Oscar and Anthea again, while being immersed in a new romance. The ups and downs of this couples’ relationships made it a bit confusing in spots. Now that I understand all their motives, I may reread it to enjoy the underlying emotions more.
Mary Burchell is a tantalizing, exciting writer with a real feel for her characters. She gives her stories a depth that I don’t often see in more modern romances. This was a delightful story, and I enjoyed it very much.

Tessa is such a sweet and endearing character. Always held down by her mother and sister because of her disability makes you want so much for her. I like the plot and it's well written.

I have read all the other books in the Warrender Series. Some how I missed this one. I'm very glad I found it. Tessa is a lovely character. I quickly became invested in her happiness. The end events were somewhat surprising to me. I think it is a great story.

I liked the story with some struggles until after about 70% of the book . Then the author played the misunderstanding that usually adds the drama in the final part. There also was the heroine’s professional drama and I liked that it wasn’t a cheesy ending.

This is the first book of the series I read and I can’t wait to continue. Tessa is a sweet character who gets a job working for a music entrepreneur- a dynamic man. She is a twin, lame from birth, who lived in the shadow of her “perfect” sister.
If I divulge more of the plot it will ruin the endin. Suffice to say Tessa comes into her own and the reader roots for her.

I'm so glad to see another of this author's books on Kindle. I enjoyed this one just as much as A Song Begins. I wonder if there are more in this series. Endeavor Press has published these two recently I believe. Maybe they'll find more. It would be very nice if they were $.99! The darling girl, Tessa, was so precious and maddening, at the same time. It's endearing story.

It's been many years, and many books between, but I soon recalled why I love Mary Burchell's books. This was a stirring and heartwarming story. It took me back to when reading romance was new and inspiring to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE Mary Burchell!

It is not a perfect book for me, and most of her books end more abruptly than I'd like, and in this book I wanted a different ending - however...I couldn't put it down. I love Mary/Ida's writing style and use of words. I love the music. Maybe with another author, I wouldn't be so forgiving about a few things - but I love these books so much. I got rid of my old paperback books years ago and I'm so happy these are out on kindle. Soon, I'll begin the Florian book. But I LOVE the Warrender series.

This is my favourite Mary Burchell re-read . Then I read her others and find that they are all close favourites which I read over and over again .She writes so well. Good old fashioned stories. Thank you Endeavor Press and more please. She wrote far more than the Warrender ones. All well worth republishing on our Kindle. Shirley Brealey

What a charming, sweet novel. I enjoyed this story tremendously. How wonderful too that the heroine got her man despite being physically not perfect. She didn't need a wondercure. She just was herself. Given how old this book is, I was very pleasantly surprised! Will read more books by this author.
