Publisher's Summary:
Miss Elizabeth Dunseith, Beth to her friends, grew up in genteel poverty, happy despite her abusive father and weak mother. When her father sells her to the highest bidder in order to pay off his gambling debts, she fears what her future will hold, but is relieved to get away from home with her new, handsome husband.
Lord Justin Fulton, Earl of Westfield, is confused by the contradictory behavior of his purchased bride. One moment she is haughty and cool, the next she is warm and endearing. When his sister refuses to help establish his new bride in Society, Justin turns to a friend's wife to show Beth the best way to navigate the politics of the town.
Their growing attraction just seems to confuse matters even further. Will these two be able to see past their differences to make it to happily ever after?

First Comes Marriage, Then Comes Love
I don't normally read Regency romance but was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the writing in The Debutante Bride by Wendy May Andrews as well as the storyline. For fans for Regency romance, this is sure to be a book you can snuggle up with and live for a time when the class system was alive and well.
It Doesn't Get Much Sweeter Than This
This was a charming story of a couple whose relationship was filled with confusion as society continually whispered, shared gossip and their assumptions on how a young newly married Countess should appear before the Ton.
The pace of her heartbeat at the sight of Lord Justin Fulton was nothing compared to the expectations and fear that gripped Beth's heart when she heard she was to marry him.
Thankfully Justin's attraction to Beth and his honorable nature made me root for them throughout the whole story. Were they able to dispel of the confusion and avoid the schemes of those with less than auspicious motives to find their way to a happy ending? You'll have to find out for yourself.
What I will share is that the author's unique writing style brought me into the minds of each character insuring an overall enjoyable reading experience.
This was a fun read. Not memorable
This was a fun read. Not memorable, but entertaining. And I definitely feel like for $1, I got a good bit of entertainment.
The characters were likable and the story had a lot of potential, but it just didn't quite get there. The conflicts were set up and I was looking forward to seeing how it all played out, and then the ending unraveled for me. It rushed through the resolutions in a way that wasn't authentic to the conflicts and emotional issues presented in the story. It didn't ruin the book completely, but it didn't endear the story to me.
Like I said, the story had potential and was enjoyable, but just tripped at the finish line. It pulled me in enough that I'm curious to check out the author's other books, to see if maybe they're a little better.
Delightful!
This book draws you in very quickly, and keeps you amused wondering if, and when, the newlyweds will finally come together as husband and wife. Would be a great read for anyone needing a smattering of romance.
