This being a novella I was delighted that it was quite a satisfying read. All the elements of a romance story was delivered with the same punch as a novel. I admired Clarissa for her assertiveness and intelligence, Dominic for his faith in friendship, and Jeremy for embracing Dominic’s love for Clarissa and being a part of their love. This story has nice pace with love and emotion intricately woven into it, long before the ending, which made for a believable and satisfying HEA. There is one menage scene that is tastefully done that has a very light bit of bdsm play.

Readers that love their historical romances with steamy love scenes will not be disappointed. Samantha Kane brings us a delightful sexy romance with The Debutante.
