Song of Salzburg Book Tour and Giveaway

 

About the Book: 

When talented violinist Freya Winter is chosen to take part in a musical celebration alongside some of the best instrumentalists in the world, she is thrilled. Performing in front of royalty is a breathtaking opportunity, but her true motivation for traveling to Salzburg is to fulfill an unlikely dream: to meet and train under the renowned Salzburg Maestro, a master musician shrouded in mystery. 

Freya travels aboard the Orient Express to practice with the newly formed orchestra in Salzburg, and nothing can distract her--not her mother's illness, nor her father's domineering ways; however, when a handsome passenger becomes a regular fixture on her journeys, Freya feels her focus blurring. Conversation with Erich is easy, and their shared love of music draws them undeniably closer. But even as they open their hearts to each other, the harsh realities of her family life intrude on the future she's envisioned, and Freya feels her dreams slipping through her fingers, threatening to rob her of everything she cherishes most.

My Review: 

I think this is the most beautifully written book of Jen Geigle Johnson’s to date. Everything about this book is lovely: the artwork, the way the music is described, the romance between two fabulous and humble musicians. I didn’t want to disembark from this romantic journey on The Orient Express. 

The artistic details in this book are amazing! From the gorgeous cover that has a decorative frame around it to that same border being used at the beginning of each chapter, it made this book seem extra special. 

Freya says she best communicates through music. Not only does she do this with an audience, but also by expressing her thoughts and feelings toward fellow musician, Erich, who understands her like no one else. While I am not a musician (which I think makes this book so well-written), I could see what she was trying to capture in her playing. “This time, the music swelled and flowed and filled the area around them with a sense of peace. She imagined a stream flowing through a grassy meadow, wildflowers all around. The melody trilled and jumped in happy leaps and flowed in a slow embrace until the last note, which she played very quietly.” 

After their first meeting on the train, Erich gives Freya a card with a drawing of an edelweiss flower on it as he departs. It was such a romantic gesture and lent an air of mystery that I couldn’t wait to discover its meaning. I was glad this beautiful flower’s story and meaning was another way that helped Erich express his love for Freya.

I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy clean romance stories. This is one you will certainly want to read. You will find it engaging from the first word to the last. This is the fourth and final book in the Romance on the Orient Express, but can be read as a stand alone story. 

Thank you to the author and publisher of the book. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.
