I received this book for free from Publisher, Shadow Mountain Publishing in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I read The Vicar's Daughter last year and always hoped that Lenora would get her happy ending. When I was offered this book to read I couldn't pass up finding out what happens. This was such a sweet and romance book. I loved Aiden Asher he was so patient and determined. He was also such a gentlemen when it came to Lenora but he had secrets that almost ruined everything. I give an author a lot of credit when she can create a character that you hate, like want to shake them and then turn around and make a second characters that you could hate even more than the first. OMG! The niece was a MONSTER but eventually she wasn't so bad but that other character (keeping it to myself to avoid spoilers) she was awful.

I have such a love for Clean Romance, I love the build of the characters and the focus on the story. The romance is such a slow climb that when they finally kiss you feel the butterflies in your stomach too. After the first book I was so sad for Lenora and as the book progressed I felt like she started to get her own voice. Like she was able to better stand up for herself. She grows a lot in the book and the HEA is heartwarming and almost exactly how I wanted her ending to be.

This is book #4 but if I was suggesting an order I would say read The Vicar's Daughter first before reading this one. You will get an even better understanding of Lenora and how things progressed up until the start of this book. I highly recommend this book. Such a sweet and loving story, I adore these two characters.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my review.

Have a great day and Happy Reading!

It was easy to fall into the pages of Miss Wilton's Waltz. I liked Lenora, even though she was very sad about her past and her current life situation. I could relate to her broken heart and moving forward in her life as best as she could. Things start shifting as soon as her new student, Catherine, makes her life unbearable at school. To make matters worse, the man that she encountered late at night as Lenora took her midnight stroll, is none other than Catherine's Uncle, Aiden Asher. As a fellow teacher, I could relate to a troubled student like Catherine who only wants to create mischief in class. This brought out many emotions in me. But I also knew how Lenora felt in trying her hardest to find ways to help this child too.

I quite liked Aiden from the start. He was thrown into raising his niece who'd never truly felt love because of her harsh upbringing. Aiden flounders a lot but his intentions are good. There are many problems as Aiden and Lenora start having feelings for one another. Lenora's Aunt Gwen is another very likable character who adds much grace and depth to the story and helping out often to solve problems for all involved. It was great to read a romance that felt real and where the characters had many struggles along the way. I rarely like a romance where the characters fall in love quickly. There is a lot of character growth for not only Lenora, but for Aiden and Catherine too. This all leads to a very satisfying end.
