“I love Cinderella so when I saw this I had to grab a copy. This is a historical romance/fantasy/ fairytale short story that once you start reading you won’t want to put it down till you finish. Plus this is a retelling set in Regency England in 1816.”

“As a fan of both Cinderella and Jane Austen, this story seemed to be the perfect blend of the two.”

“What is new in this retelling is that the heroine is rescued from her unfortunate circumstances in equal parts by her wits as by her love; it’s not as simple as “Prince Charming” comes and rescues her, which is refreshing. In addition, our heroine also comes to the rescue of someone else, which has a very modern “women supporting women” tone to it. If you are looking for a retelling that has all the nostalgia of the original but dismisses the damsel in distress aspect of it, then this will be a tale you will want to read and share.”

“I fell in love with this novel. The characters are so intriguing that it makes you wonder if they were real once upon a time.”

“Dance of Hearts by Byrd Nash is a treasure. Yes, I am an adult and yes this is a story for preteens. But yes, yes, yes, I loved this story.”

“This was an incredibly sweet tale that absolutely reminded me of reading a classic novel, and made me feel the magic woven into it. As someone who doesn’t often enjoy classic novels, I am surprised to admit that I really loved this one.”
