A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN?

Determined to marry off her widowed father, concert pianist Cassandra Rowlands had finally met the perfect stepmother candidate—only to find herself falling for the woman's son. Enigmatic, reclusive Antonio Pagliarulo was everything Cassandra had learned to avoid. Yet she found herself helplessly drawn to the passionate tenor, certain her feelings couldn't possibly be mutual….

After years of self-imposed solitude, Antonio cared about Cassandra more than he had ever dreamed it was possible to love a woman. But he knew the minister's beautiful daughter was no stranger to heartache. He couldn't possibly expect her to understand his secret burden—or why he could never be free to marry….

5.0 out of 5 stars A really well written book, full of romance, and a mystery!, July 22, 2001

I recently just finished this book, and I couldn't put it down. It was a very well written and wonderful story. Carole Gift Page has a wonderful way of telling a story. You really get to know the characters. A young music teacher, Cassandra, falls for an Italian tenor named Antonia It's a very moving story, also there is a mystery inerwoven in the story, that keeps you guessing till the end. It was one of the few books I just couldn't put down. I wanted to get to the end to see what the mystery was about. If I could I would give it more than five stars, it certainly deserved it! I look forward to reading future books by Carole Gift Page, with these characters. There is a character in the story named Andrew, Cassandra's father. He really represents such a loving father. Anyone who likes a good clean romance novel, this is for you.

This one was okay, but definitely not a favorite. There were just some things that were weird (relationships...you'll have to read it), and I didn't like how it ended for some people.

The cover has a classic paperback romance look, obviously. Funny thing is, I know a man who looks EXACTLY like the picture on the front! Haha.

This review is from: Cassandra's Song (The Minister's Daughters Trilogy #1) (Love Inspired #141) (Mass Market Paperback)

Often times the Reverend Andrew Rowland is at his wit's end. No, not trouble with his parishioners, trouble with his three grown up and meddlesome daughters. Didn't they understand that though his wife had been gone these many years, he didn't want another relationship. Being a widower suited him. Besides, he could never get over the only woman he's ever loved.

Cassandra knows how her father feels and she's vowed, along with her sisters, to cease and desist with the blind dinner dates, then at a concert given by the famous tenor Antonio Pagliarulo at San Diego State college, where she teaches, she meets this warm and gentle woman who she knows would be perfect for dear old dad. And wouldn't you know it, the lady is none other than the tenor's mother and before long Cassandra and Antonio are making music together, no not that kind of music, but the real thing, she on the piano as he sings for a crusade. Antonio knows she is falling in love, maybe he is too, but he has secrets, reservations, fears and you know how that goes.

And it goes very well in this finely written inspiration romance that I dearly loved. Cassandra was a divine character as were her sisters and father, Antonio too, and Juliana, his mother. I even loved Ruggs the dog. If you like inspirational romance, as I do, then this is defiantly one you want to read.
