Nothing tugs at my heart strings more than second chance romances and Anabelle Bryant’s His Forbidden Debutante owned my heart from cover to cover. Two characters kept apart by the changing tides of life only to find each other again. Though they’d never met, Livie and Randolph had fallen in love through their letters. Letters with unspoken intent that they would someday plan a meeting and pursue the attraction. Yet it seemed the world had conspired to keep them apart. Livie had been injured in a carriage accident and Randolph’s life had been upended when he’d had an earldom thrust upon him. But one serendipitous encounter after another proved that destiny would not be denied.
I fell in love with Livie and Randolph from the very beginning. The letters between the two helped shape the plot and made me love them all the more. Randolph was the epitome of a gentleman but he also had a devilishly romantic side to him. Livie had suffered greatly in her life yet remained such a positive and lively girl. I was enchanted with her joy for life. Every encounter between these two left me feeling just as dizzy and euphoric as they felt. The combination of sizzling sexual tension and heartwarming romance was divine. There were so many scenes that made me giggle and swoon at the same time. I have to say Randolph’s idea of “recuperating” made me melt!
Anabelle Bryant is my go to author. Her books capture my heart. They’re more than a story. They’re an experience to remember forever. His Forbidden Debutante will move you to laughter and tears and make you believe in true love all over again.
