“Anne Gracie provide pleasant diversions.” “Dazzling characterizations…provocative, tantalizing, and wonderfully witty romantic fiction…Unexpected plot twists, tongue-in-cheek humor, and a sensually fraught battle of wits between hero and heroine…embraces the romance genre’s truest heart.” “She’s turned out another wonderful story!” Praise for the other novels of Anne Gracie “With wit and tenderness…Gracie entertains and satisfies her fans.” “A stellar read…the kind of book that will make one sigh with satisfaction, and make for enjoyable rereading over the years…Superb.” “Contains bushels of humor, a tiny bit of farce, a generous dollop of romance, the right balance of sweet and tart, a dash of suspense, and, for spice, a soupçon of retribution.” love is brilliantly battled as Anne Gracie writes the perfect historical.” “ The Perfect Waltz is a definite keeper, and is one of the best romances I have read in a long time.”

“A wonderful love story with vibrant characters.” “One of the best Regency-set historicals I’ve read in years, with a beautifully developed love story at the center.” I was simply enchanted by this wonderful book.” The dialogue is delightful and, at times, a hoot.

The characters are so rich and the story so refreshing, they reach deep into your heart. “I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a book so much. “ The Perfect Waltz is much more than a simple dance of love it’s a whole beautifully choreographed ballet of emotions…If you haven’t already discovered the powerfully moving romances of Anne Gracie, I can’t urge you strongly enough to hunt them up.” GRACIE HAS A KNACK FOR DELVING INTO PEOPLE’S SOULS.”
