This book was very different from the norm. The hero was a musical genius, the plotline where he is playing "twin" brothers a unique touch. The story was a bit moody and dramatic, but in a good way. The heroine was a forward thinking lady who was a gossip columnist. Sensual romantic elements. Like the other reviewer, I am also happily surprised at the quality of some of the Harlequin Historicals, like this one. I look forward to reading more by Miss Stone. 5 stars!
Surprisingly outstanding!

I am continually amazed by the quality of Harlequin Historical Romances. Each one I've read has been marvelous and Lyn Stone's _The Arrangement_ is of the same high quality that has impressed me before. Her characters are three dimensional and have such depth that they come to life right before your eyes. Kathryn has a Lois Lane-like impetuosity and tons of tenacity mixed with a vulnerability that touches your heart. Jonathan is without a doubt a musical genius -- thus he is exceedingly arrogant, perplexing and exasperating. He has an underlying sensuality that fairly seeps from his pores and he is quite mysterious. I adored the aspect of Jonathan's musical gift, it was a wonderful plot device that I'd never seen before. It added feeling to the story while bringing the characters closer together. The passion between Kathryn and Jonathan is explosive and is immediately evident when they meet. You'll be quite dazzled by these two characters who are so perfect for each other. Ms. Stone has written a gem of a book that will call for repeated readings. _The Arrangement_ is an absolutely delightful, beautiful story -- I savored every word!
