Jasmine appears to only have her own interests at heart. She doesn't want to be one of the "poor unfortunate ones" (a deb left over from last year, unmarried). She's shows her young years in her attitudes, her self-centeredness, she has a way to go before she's truly grown up.Alistair is a titled nobleman from England, hoping to make his way in the America. He needs to latch on to society in someway, and George Fitzpatrick is just the person who can help him. If he has to entertain his daughter, Jasmine, in the process, so be it.Jasmine sets her cap for Alistair and in the process, meets his partner, Parr, a poor Irish immigrant whom Alistair has brought with him, making in a full partner in their new venture, a racetrack filled with good stock. Parr immediately captures Jasmine's attention, and she captures his, while Alistair is captured by the red-headed Lydia Smith.How is this foursome going to find happiness?The Tempestuous Debutante by Becky Lower is a historical romance that keeps you guessng until the end, hoping that Jasmine gets a grip on what she needs instead of what she thinks she wants. I liked how she figured out her path in life by the end of the book. I have to say, by the end of the book, I thought I was reading about a different character. At the beginning, Jasmine is superficial, almost shallow, but by the end, I was fighting for her to save her love.The Tempestuous Debutante is a fast read, especially the last third of the book where Jasmine is coming into her own. This is the fourth book in the Cotillion Ball Series, but easily read as a stand alone. Historical romance lovers will enjoy this one.Four out of five fairy kisses for this reader.I received my copy for an honest review.
