Summary

Clara Becker is a supremely gifted composer - a talent of little to use to a woman in 1830s England. Her compositions only have worth when they are published under her brother's name, yet this deception barely enables them to scrape out a living in the poorest quarter of London. Meets the Master... Darien Reynard, the most celebrated musician in Europe, pursues success with a single-minded intensity. When he comes across Becker's compositions, he knows that this music will secure his place in history. Darien tracks the composer down and, with some difficulty, convinces the man to tour with him. Mr. Becker agrees, but with the most unusual condition that he bring along his sister... Darien's unexpected desire for Clara jeopardizes the entire tour, but Clara must protect more than her heart. If he discovers her secret, her family's new found fortune - and their very reputation - will be destroyed.

Awful pantomime performance. Ruined the romance

I cannot decide if the story was good or terrible because the reading was so bad. The actress over-emphasised and exaggerated every word. It was like reading a book for a child. She put on voices for all the characters which made them sounded half way between a pantomime witch and a camp drag queen.
Completely ruined the story.
As for any romantic or sexual tension, forget it. Completly laughable.
