That title drew me in...

I'm a SUCKER for a possessive hero. When the title shows possessiveness, it's always going to draw me in. The Debutante is Mine was a sweet little treat that ticked a lot of my favourite qualities in historical romance. I don't think I've read many historical romance stories by this publisher, but I'm now tempted to try a few more. Avon tends to release compact versions of my favourite tropes packed into a little package. I think these shorter reads appeal to me because of my limited time for reading. I started and finished this book today and concluded with a big smile on my face.

The characters were interesting, the storyline kept my attention from start to finish and there was plenty of sizzling chemistry between the hero and heroine to keep my heart pumping. A little angst to bring the story to life but not too much that had me running for the hills.

Confession...Yes, the title drew me in, but the price was the deciding factor. Historical romances tend to be on the pricey side so I have to be fully convinced that it will be worth my hard earned dollars. The Debutante is Mine was affordable, quick to read and left me satisfied. Definitely a win for me.
