Alec is a dancing and fencing master, like his father and grandfather before him, but only after they arrive does Alec then discovers that dancing has been banned by the local village matriarch. With nowhere else to go, Alec Valcourt brings his mother and sister, Aurora, to the small village of Beaworthy to live with their Uncle Ramsey. The Valcourt family has had to flee London in the wake of a tremendous scandal. I borrowed The Dancing Master from my local library. While romance isn't as prevalent in this book, it is still there. I found Alec and Julia's story to be fun, a bit suspenseful, and romantic. Will our characters be able to overcome their differences? Or will the past come between them and drive them apart for good? However, all will be revealed in due course. Everyone seems to have secrets they are trying to hide and the past comes back to haunt more than one person in the story. I really love the characters in this story. Written in a more modern American voice, the language flows well and is easy to understand. If you like Jane Austen's settings, you will most definitely like Julie Klassen's books. Set in Regency England, I found this to be an excellent book. This story is not only intriguing and suspenseful, but it is also full of romance and God's love and grace. The Dancing Master is the first book I have read by Julie Klassen.
