Miss Wilton’s Waltz is an enchanting Regency romance from best-selling author Josi S. Kilpack. The story begins in the days following Kilpack’s The Vicar’s Daughter. Heroine Lenora Wilton finds herself in Bath, England trying to escape her past. Lenora is a multi-faceted character and extremely relatable in her struggles with anxiety. The unique settings — in Bath and at a girls’ boarding school — add interest and intrigue. The story offers two points of view, with Lenora and love interest Aiden switching as narrators. Secondary character Aunt Gwen is an all-time favorite, with her witty antics and sound advice. Kilpack frequently employs cliffhangers to keep the plot moving. As the newest book in the Proper Romance series, Miss Wilton’s Waltz is a fun and enchanting story that lives up to its predecessors!
