Wedded to His Enemy Debutante Reviews

4.0
“3/5 stars! Loved Frederica! She was so cheeky and flirty and I loved how she kept Samuel on his toes but something I really cannot stand is instalovey type romance. They kissed so early on in the book there was so build up really. They just kissed throughout the book it was fun don’t get me wrong but I much prefer my romances slow burn!”
“Can childhood frenemies grow into love as adults? Lady Frederica and Samuel, the new Duke of Pelford, always knew their past life as joking children could turn into an arranged marriage. From their shared upbringing filled with amusing incidents (the bear cub left in Samuel's room was my favorite) to the witty banter between the couple, many of their experiences made for engaging reading. I found this take on the 'Enemies to Lovers' trope particularly riveting. Initially, neither Frederica nor Samuel preferred fulfilling their mothers' wishes. Despite their playful exchanges, there was always an underlying sense of intimacy resulting from their long-standing friendship. Samuel serves in the military and as an aide to General Wellington during the Napoleonic wars. Samuel's life as an intelligence agent not only exposes him to danger but also puts Frederica in grave peril. This was such an intriguing aspect that a great Lady in society would spy with her betrothed. After hastily marrying, the story turns serious as the French army is knocking at their door. The horrors of war are shown as well as the devastating loss that accompanies it. "Wedded to his His Enemy Debutante"is an intriguing tale of two strong-willed individuals who find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. The book takes readers on a thrilling journey as Frederica and Samuel struggle to deny their intense chemistry, while also trying to let go of their guarded hearts and allow themselves to fall in love. The romance in this novel is nothing short of perfect, with fiery kisses that are sure to make the pages sizzle. Author Hastings expertly weaves together an enthralling story that keeps readers on their toes until the very end. All of her Stringham Family novels guarantee an exciting read with charming romances that leave readers enchanted and wanting more.”
