USA Today–Bestselling Author:Love strikes a chord that makes the heart dance . . . “Like journeying through a dream that I never wanted to end.” —Night Owl Reviews

Ballerina Tessa Wilde had a glittering career in front of her—and then the accident happened. She’d gotten used to hiding her deafness from the world. She’d been able to teach children at her mother’s dance school, and she had her beloved hearing-assistance dog to help her through the day.

But now, she’s managed to land the role of a lifetime. If only Julian Shine, brooding piano accompanist, would leave her alone. Or if she could leave him alone. When he played, she could hear . . . every note. Could it be real? Or was it the music of her heart?

5.0 out of 5 stars A start to what I know will be another amazing series from Teri!
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2018

Such a fan of her writing and I was excited to read this first installment of a new series. And yet, there are faint whispers of a previous trilogy, the Drake Diamonds series, in here to make me nostalgic.

I’ve said this before but what I love about Teri’s stories are the inherent “real ness” she injects into her characters. Where they may seem far removed from me because they are in the ballet world or music world, turns out they’re more like me than I thought. Tessa’s insecurity over her disabilities and even those demons Julian has to face are really just so beautifully human. Granted, their stories and backgrounds are tragic but their overcoming of all these obstacles to not only bring on self fulfillment but also find love are nothing short of breathtaking.

I personally could feel and empathize with the insecurities and fears of failure. That fear of what others will think of me because of my shortcomings. And I rejoice along with Tessa and Julian when they take that leap of faith and are handsomely rewarded.

Aside from all that, really how can you not fall in love with this love story? It’s what Teri does well. From the way Hallmark seems to be embracing her stories and making movies out of them, I can certainly picture this as a movie. That’s how real her stories are.

I cannot wait for the next installment. And I already can’t wait to see if a dog will be in the next one. It’s part of her stories as much as the romance, so fingers crossed.

A wonderfully written heart wrenching and very romantic book. Teri knows how to write a fabulous romantic story and I am fast becoming addicted to her storytelling. Julian and Tessa are beautiful characters and I was totally invested in their lives. Brilliant! A must read. I look forward to reading more in this series.

I am an avid reader and a Teri Wilson fan. Loved her use of “Resting Heathcliff Face” to describe the hero Julian. I enjoyed the love story of Tess and Julian and their complicated histories. Can’t wait to read the next installment in the Wilde Hearts series

5.0 out of 5 stars A first class contemporary romance - I loved it!
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2018
An enchanting, uplifting and oh so wonderful contemporary romance that I found absolutely irresistible, Teri Wilson’s The Ballerina Secret is a fantastic book that will steal your heart!

Tessa Wilde had once had the world at her feet. She was a fast rising star in the world of ballet, had a gorgeous boyfriend who was also her dance partner and a loving and supportive family who believed in her and cheered her on in each and every single one of her endeavors. The world was Tessa’s oyster – until an accident while performing on stage had cost her both her career and her boyfriend! When her dance partner had dropped her, her hearing had been damaged and Tessa is now unable to hear anything which left her unable to continue to pursue her dream of becoming a ballerina. Having shelved all of her hopes and dreams for a future on the stage, Tessa now teaches ballet at the Wilde School of Dance, but despite telling herself that she will never be a prima ballerina, the yearning and desire to perform has never left her. When she discovers that auditions are being held for a ballet that is being staged by one of the world’s premiere ballet choreographers, Tessa knows that she will never get the part, however, she feels compelled to audition despite knowing full well that she has next to no chance of scoring a role. Yet, little does Tessa realise that stepping out of her comfort zone and chasing after her dream is going to shake the foundations of her safe little world on its axis…and lead her straight into the path of a man with his own demons, musician Julian Shine.

Julian had once been of the music world’s most respected and revered musicians – until a cruel twist of fate had almost destroyed him. A man who is now content to live in the shadows and to keep the world at bay, Julian had been persuaded by his childhood friend Chase to play the piano during the auditions for the latest ballet he is starring in. Julian just wants to hide in the corner, do the job and not engage with anyone, but that all changes when he finds himself enchanted by the beautiful ballerina Tessa Wilde. From the way she moves to the way she dances, Tessa bewitches Julian with every move she makes and despite the initial friction between them, a bond soon develops that quickly gives way to something more…

Much to everybody’s surprise, Tessa scores the lead role for the ballet and ends up spending her days and nights practicing – with Julian accompanying her on the piano. Their initial attraction leads to nights of uncontrollable passion, but when their no-strings fling becomes very serious indeed, will Tessa and Julian find the courage to stop hiding from their feelings and admit the truth about their feelings for one another? Or will they continue to be held hostage by their pasts and their fears?

The Ballerina’s Secret is contemporary romance gold! Emotionally satisfying, wonderfully poignant and a joy from beginning to end, this is a book about courage, taking chances and healing from the past that will pluck at the heartstrings and make you smile. Teri Wilson imbues her story with humor, pathos, magic and heart and has written a book that I simply could not put down.

Her characters jump off the page and straight into your heart. Tessa was a great heroine who, despite all the obstacles standing in her way, was never defeatist or self-pitying and I thought Julian was a gorgeous and brooding hero whom I simply couldn’t help but fall head over heels in love with.

A first-class contemporary romance from a superb writer, Teri Wilson’s The Ballerina’s Secret is heading straight for my keeper shelf!
