My Review:
Mystery, romance, and hidden family secrets make The Tutor's Daughter by Julie Klassen a page turning drama with plenty of action, adventure and questionable activities.  Emma Smallwood and her father are summoned away from their own academy to tutor the two younger sons of former students, Henry and Phillip Weston.  Emma's fondness for Phillip and disdain for Henry who treated her rudely while at the academy filled her with trepidation at the prospect of living in close quarters in the large estate.  Emma meets many new people who she learns that she cannot trust especially when strange things start happening to her.  She eventually confides in Henry although she can't comprehend why she starts to grow attached to him.  Will Emma be able to prove that she is valuable member of society while holding dreams in her heart and feel loved by a man who might never be able to marry her?

Julie is a master at character description.  There were many players in this book, but each had particular qualities and the author knew how to use them in the varied situations to make the plot move forward and also to entice the reader to be drawn further into the story.  I was completely in love with the building romance through the story between the main characters.  This is beautiful story filled with romance, mystery and history.  The writing is excellent as the plots twists and turns and I was kept in suspense the entire time.  I would love to see this a movie someday!
