Season of the Swan

This was my second Maxwell novel, and I think they just keep getting better and better. He has such a way with words. I had to force myself to put it down, and I normally do not even like romance novels. But his characters are so real, and their interactions so captivating that I want to read every last one of his novels.

I knew that immediately after finishing Evan Maxwell's first book, that I would wish to read more by him. His style of writing reminds me so much of another favorite male author of mine, Nicholas Sparks. I enjoy reading a variety of genres, but to read a tender, romantic book written by a man, is really a special treat. The only negative comment I would make about this book is that I wish the author would have developed the character of Bran Corry a little more thoroughly. I found myself asking questions about his earlier life. However, that did not keep from thoroughly enjoying this beautiful book. Please keep writing Mr. Maxwell.

Evan Maxwell has done his research on this one! As a violinist, I was pleased to read his detailed accuracy about the violin and the musician... It's nice when an author gets it right... In a short but charming story,the author gives a very good interpretation of what it is to perform and to play the violin... The other thing I really liked about this authors style is that since he's coming from the male point of view he developed the character of the hero in a very "real" way... sometimes with female romance authors you feel like they're writing the male part from a "female voice" and the hero is obviously a character that a woman made up... not like a "real man" would think or act... This book is a nice, quick read and I would recommend it especially for the well-done portrayal of a classical musician...

Thank you for another terrific book! I could feel all the drama and emotion as it unfolded. The characters were very real. I laughed with them and cried with them. I felt drawn into Kate's emotions as she became closer to Bran and his way of life. I was satisfied with the ending and can't wait to read the next Evan Maxwell book!
