The Forgotten Debutante
Page 21
“When the war is over, there will be plenty of time for me to relax and catch up on my sleep. Thank you for your efforts today. I hope to see you again soon. Good day, Mrs. Brown.”
He followed her movements while she gathered her things, tracked down her mother, and left. He told himself it was in order to make certain she followed his advice and took her departure. But she was the finest-looking woman he’d seen in months, and he wanted to capture the picture of her and implant it into his memory, for those infrequent times when he could lay down and sleep.

Praise for A Widow’s Salvation:
“This is a very well written historical romance that takes place in New York during the Civil War.” —5 stars, Romancing The Book
“UUHHH ... my heartstrings … I don't know if it's because we are now reading of battles and carnage, but the stolen moments of love and whispers of words really struck me in this book.”—5 stars, The Reading Cafe
“It's high time Pepper had her turn at romance. The romance gets pretty steamy after a while.” —Akron Beacon Journal
“Stuffed full of history, but never to the point of being a research paper, daily life, morals and the pain of war are blended brilliantly into the story of two people instantly attracted to each other, but becoming friends first. Not to be missed.”—4 stars, Ind'Tale Magazine
For the complete Cotillion Ball series by Becky Lower, check out:
An Unconventional Courtship
“A sassy, ahead-of-her-time heroine compels those around her to think differently, possibly even change their ideology. What could be better?”— 4 stars, InD'Tale Magazine
“This charming little story was a breath of fresh air, a prequel to the Cotillion Ball Saga which, I understand, follows the lives of the children Charlotte and George will eventually have, and which series I have the pleasure of adding to my TBR list. This is one of those reads that left me smiling.”—4 stars, Romantic Historical Reviews
The Reluctant Debutante
“This series is a breath of fresh air for a historical romance lover! I loved that the [mid-1800s America] setting for each books takes place in a different city and you can see how the approaching [Civil] war is causing havoc in so many ways. Ginger is very likable, and is a strong woman who knows what she wants.” —Rachel, The Reading Café
The Abolitionist’s Secret
“This book was my fav of the [Cotillion Ball] books … We really start to dig into what ignites the Civil War. At the beginning [Heather] is portrayed as somewhat of a timid creature, but when she is facing conflict, she rises up and kicks some serious booty. [David] is just lovable. --Rachel, The Reading Café
“The cotillion ball is the impetus for the series, but these novels are not pieces of fluff; on the contrary, Ms. Lower tackles serious and fascinating subjects through the eyes of her heroes and heroines. … I highly recommend this novel to everyone who loves historical fiction and romance.” —Deborah Cordes, author
Banking on Temperance
“I really liked Temperance right from the beginning and can understand what Basil was drawn to [in her]. Basil also really grew up [compared] to the Basil we met in the first book! . . . Their journey was worth the wait.”—Rachel, The Reading Café
The Tempestuous Debutante
“If you are a historical romance fan, love multi-layered characters, and enjoy a great story, please read this series.” —The Reading Cafe
Blinded by Grace
“What I liked most about this book was that the happy ending wasn't straight up and in your face about it. The characters had to work and develop into a rhythm. It was a nice change from that traditional cookie cutter plot.” — 3.5 stars, Memories in a Box
“These two made a wonderful couple who were a perfect match for each other. They had to work very hard for their well deserved happy ever after. I very much enjoyed this well written book, with its very clever title.” —Long and Short Reviews
“I cannot tell you enough how much I love Becky Lower's books. She is by far my favorite historical romance author, and I would recommend anything she writes to everyone I meet. She just has a way with words and has a brilliantly warm and classic, romantic heart. Blinded by Grace was just another perfect example of how a love story should be written. Please do yourself a favor and add this book (and the rest of her repertoire) to your to-be-read list. You'll be so glad that you did.” —HEAs Are Us
The Duplicitous Debutante
“Becky Lower did a fabulous job of incorporating fencing terminology and painting a picture of the type of man and character Henry was. I also enjoyed the French he would slip in from his time in New Orleans.” — 5 stars, A Cup of Tea
“If a clever, witty, and entertaining read is what you're looking for, The Duplicitous Debutante definitely fits the bill! ... it's a refreshing take at historical romance, and it makes me eager to try out the rest of the series.” —-5 stars, Cryptic Reads
“Lower has mastered a fascinating style that transports the reader to that time and immerses us in the clothing, the traditions, the expectations. But at the same time, she does it in a way that doesn't so much make you fell like you've just crash landed in another time, but rather that you belong there with her characters.”—4 stars, Fic Central
“Lower has an exceptional voice for historical romance, layering in colorful historical details that truly allowed me to be transported to 19th century America.”—4 stars, Night Owl Reviews
