Jen Geigle Johnson

"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."--Amazon.com.

I really enjoyed Song of Salzburg. It is the final installment in the Romance on the Orient Express series, and it was by far my favorite!

I loved our MC Freya. She is a musician--a wonderful violinist, and has the opportunity to go to Salzburg to learn and play for the renowned Salzburg Maestro. An opportunity which her parents do not agree with, and simply do not understand. As Freya makes her way to Salzburg on The Orient Express, she meets Erich, a fellow passenger who shares her love of the violin.

I really enjoyed reading Freya and Erich's budding relationship as the ride the train back and forth. It was such an interesting way to see a developing relationship. I also really enjoyed Erich's character. He comes off very mysterious and I loved that Freya didn't know exactly why until the very end.

I found the plot was good, but there were a few things that were quite predictable for me. For example, I knew exactly who the Salzburg Maestro was, and I also figured out why certain things were happening with our MC's. This is the only reason I took off a star. I would have loved for this to be just slightly more mysterious.

Overall though, I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and as always, Jen Geigle Johnson did not disappoint. I definitely recommend.

Special thanks to Covenant Communications who gifted me a paperback ARC for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
