This review is from: A Song Begins (The Warrender Saga #1) (The Warrender Saga #1) (Paperback)
Her dreams were coming true at last! When an unknown benefactor arranged for Anthea to train under Oscar Warrender, the celebrated opera conductor, she was ecstatic. But her joy was short-lived when she came face to face with the great man. Cold and forbidding, he proved to be a hard taskmaster. Anthea, however, proved to be a brilliant student....and to Oscar, much , much more!
Anthea is at the point in her training where she needs more intensive work and better teachers, but there is no money. So she enters a talent contest to win the necessary money. Oscar Warrender is a judge and he is the one that decides she will not win the prize. Anthea thinks that her father's boss is her secret benefactor, but of course, it is Oscar Warrender. She goes to London to train with Warrender and other teachers. An opera diva refuses to appear at a performance so Warrender gives Anthea the part at the last minute and she is , of course, great. I know nothing about Opera but I found this book very interesting. Anthea has to work extremely hard and Warrender keeps pushing her. There is a serious family illness and Anthea wants to go home, but Warrender will not allow it. She is an artist and has to keep working. Anthea and Oscar appear in several more books. I believe this was the first title series in Harlequins. (vintageromances.com)
