Julie Klassen is back!

This review is for "The Dancing Master" by Julie Klassen.

I don't know about you guys but I get super excited when I see that Julie has a new novel it! She is one of my top favorite authors and I look forward to her new novels so much and eagerly agreed to review this one!

Once again she did not disappoint! One of the things that I love about her work, besides that they are Regency fiction is the fact of how long her books are. I love picking up that thick book and cracking open the first page on one of the new adventures that she has penned for us all.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Julia Midwinters life is full of secrets. She knows it but doesn't know what to do about it.
A mother whose lips are sealed and a feeling of restlessness and generally not belonging in the lifestyle she is forced to lead has Julia feeling out-of-sorts.

When Alec Valcourt shows up in town with his mother and sister, his presence promises to shake things up in a very small town.

For Alec is a dancing master and dancing has long been banned in the sleepy town of Devonshire.

Julia would love to learn to dance but a big problem stands in her way. Her mother, the town matriarch, is the very one who banned the dancing in the first place.
~~~~~~~~~~

Will love win out in the end of this story or will Julia and Alec's past both hold far to many terrible secrets to make their love feasible. Will Alec's love of dancing be able to survive the restrictions unfairly placed on his new town? Will Julia ever learn the secrets that cause her sadness?

You will have to read it to find out!

Sarah Ladd's "The Headmistress of Rosemere"


This review is for the novel "The Headmistress of Rosemere" by Sarah E. Ladd.

Fans of Jane Austen sit up and take notice! Sarah is back with book 2 in her "Whispers on The Moors series!" :)

I love regency fiction and Sarah is a great writer. I don't think you will be disappointed if you pick up this read!

Even if you haven't read the first book you should have no problem with reading this one by itself.

Sarah is good at pulling you right into important moments in the book even from the very first page or even the first sentence of the first page!



~~~~~~~~~~
William Sterling was irresponsible in his life and now it is catching up with him at a rapid pace.

Patience Creighton is constantly busy. She runs a successful girls boarding school and cares for her mother. When the knight on a white horse never rode up to the door for her, Patience resigned herself to being a spinster and took the school over.

She never quite anticipated the surprise that would end up being William Sterling.

But will he be any good for Patience or is he the last complication that she needs in her life?
