Patience, forgiveness, and a willingness to trust eventually carry the day in this inspirational romance, and there are interesting insights into the strategies adopted by those struggling to cope with severe insecurities and a troubled childhood. Recommended. --Historical Novel Society A lovely, nuanced romance that shows how creating a relationship with oneself is just as important as falling in love with somebody else...Lenora Wilton is no shrinking violet. At first look, she easily could be an Austen heroine...Miss Wilton's Waltz is proper without being demure. Lenora's romance with Aiden includes some breathtaking moments and undeniable chemistry. The book rarely crosses the line into physical interactions, which makes Lenora's exploration of her own values and desires that much more exciting. The then-scandalous waltz shared by Aiden and Lenora is an excellent moment in this beautifully crafted romance. Kilpack has a deft touch for characterization. Lenora, Aiden, and other characters are vibrant and well drawn. In each scene, Kilpack plays with familiar stereotypes--the prim headmistress, the insolent student--but makes them feel fresh and relatable. The book includes characters who cope with anxiety and a learning disability. Although Lenora initially finds comfort in doing the right thing, her adventure truly begins when she learns to do what is right for her. Miss Wilton's Waltz charms in every chapter. --Foreword Reviews Sweet, insightful, and gracefully written, Kilpack's latest Regency romance is a quiet triumph. --Booklist The jilted elder sister in Kilpack's The Vicar's Daughter becomes the heroine in this tender, satisfying Regency romance.

Kilpack convincingly portrays the acting out of an angry, formerly neglected child, who causes much damage to Lenora's psyche, reputation, and future hopes. Lenora's slow, arduous journey toward empathy, forgiveness, and love...proves deeply rewarding. -- (02/06/2018) Enchanting Regency romance...Kilpack frequently employs cliffhangers to keep the plot moving.
