Synopsis

Finding himself the man of the family, London dancing master Alec Valcourt moves his mother and sister to remote Devonshire, hoping to start over. But he is stunned to learn the village matriarch has prohibited all dancing, for reasons buried deep in her past. Alec finds an unlikely ally in the matriarch's daughter. Though he's initially wary of Julia Midwinter's reckless flirtation, he comes to realize her bold exterior disguises a vulnerable soul--and hidden sorrows of her own. Julia is quickly attracted to the handsome dancing master--a man her mother would never approve of--but she cannot imagine why Mr. Valcourt would leave London, or why he evades questions about his past. With Alec's help, can Julia uncover old secrets and restore life to her somber village...and to her mother's tattered heart? Filled with mystery and romance, The Dancing Master brings to life the intriguing profession of those who taught essential social graces for ladies and gentlemen hoping to make a "good match" in Regency England. Praise for Julie Klassen's The Tutor's Daughter "Whether you're a fan of Jane Austen or Charlotte Bronte, or both, you will soon become a fan of Julie Klassen once you read this wonderful book."-- GoodReads "Well-developed characters, plot twists, and attention to period detail make this a sure bet for fans of Regency novels."-- Library Journal "Regency/Klassen fans will love the mystery, romance, and drama."-- Publishers Weekly

Goodreads review by Maria on May 04, 2020

Hay novelas que parecen guiñarme un ojo, como si me sonrieran de lejos. No sé acercan a mí, esperan, enigmáticas, a que sea yo quien dé ese paso. Ellas solo gravita a mi alrededor, susurrando, tejiendo un fino hilo de esperanzas y suspiros a mi alrededor; como si fueran las sirenas de las cuentos, s......more

3,5⭐️ Me encantan más historias que crea esta autora, porque consiguen transportarme a esos pueblos tan típicos de la época y con personajes tan diversos.

Esta autora sigue conquistándome con su forma de escribir. Más allá de una historia de amor que, aunque bonita, podría haber tenido más presencia, trata una serie de secretos familiares muy intrigantes. Me parece perfecto para iniciarse con la autora por ser autoconclusivo y bastante completo. Próxim......more

I’ve long been a fan of Julie Klassen, so I may be a little biased when I say THE DANCING MASTER is a must read. Not that her previous titles are wimpy by any stretch of the imagination, but this one is my all-time favorite thus far (and no, I don’t say that for every book she releases). What’s so gr......more

I told a friend, once, that I will often give a book 5 stars if I would love to see it made into a movie; a good movie that followed the book perfectly.
