A Deal with a Debutante by Chelsea Bobulski reminds us that nothing is more exciting than a rollick through the social season in London. Who doesn’t love vying for the attention of a marriage-eligible person with money and status backing up the selections? Oh, the joys Miss Calliope Hart experiences as an American heiress on the prowl for a fine British match. The only trouble is Calliope is not really in it for herself. She is doing it for her mother who has her heart set on Calliope making a good match. Join in the fun as you read the first book in London’s Most Eligible series.

This work of historical fiction takes place in the early nineteen-hundreds or so. It comes complete with everything one would expect from a novel with the word debutante in its title. Some of the scenes are humorous, others tender and endearing. The lead characters of Calliope and Edward are interesting and yet oh so practical. Love may be something found when one least expects it.

Throughout it all, the friends of Calliope Hart stand out as dedicated and faithful. They each have their own quirks and opinion of finding a match in London high society. The relationships these women share is based on truth and honesty. None of them are trying to best one another in the match-making game. It will be fun to read more about these ladies in future installments of the series. Romance is sure to abound.
