The Determined Debutante: A Sweet Regency Romance (The Zodiac Regency Series Book 1) Kindle Edition
Clarissa Ellison is your typical Aries: everything is a competition. So, when she makes her debut into Regency London Society, she determines that in order to "win" the Season, she must get a proposal from the Duke of Drayton. The only problem is that his closest friend, the handsome and thoughtful Lord Uxbridge, is quickly becoming someone she can't live without.
Jonathan, Lord Uxbridge, has always been called "Ox" for the obvious reason—he's big. But, as a true Gemini, there are two sides to this man. To the world, he's outgoing, but in private, he relaxes by painting beautiful miniatures. Because his size generally puts fear into the eyes of young ladies, Ox had planned on never marrying. But a large bequest to be given on his wedding day makes him decide otherwise. He sets his mind to winning Miss Buttery-Clements, who can match him for size, but his heart has decided on another—the fascinating and delicate Miss Ellison.
The two decide to be just friends, setting aside the advice of their friend and astrological scholar Lady Preston, but the stars—or is it destiny? —will ensure this is a match made in the heavens.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2024Well written, full of love, society, romance, villains, hopes, dreams, fears, intrigue and twists. Ox is an Earl whose nickname was earned by how big and strong he is. Due to his great Aunt's will, he will need to marry after saying he would not marry. His friend, Dray, is a Duke and also needs to marry. Both have the idea of what they want. Clarissa is a young lady, having her first season thanks to her Uncle and Aunt. She meets both Ox and Dray and sets her cap on the top prize of the season. As the season goes on she learns who to like and trust. She befriends another young lady that both Ox and Dray think is right for them. Dray seems to be the winner. Neither Ox or Clarissa are upset about losing their prize as they learn that the feelings they truly have are for each other. Add in some villains and action and you have a great read. would strongly recommend to everyone.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2025An unusual story that takes four people with different horoscopes mixes them into a competition, shakes them all up and dumps them out to see what happens. Well defined characters, joyously portrayed and full of adventure. Add into the story is a villain, the ton, dreams, with twists and turns. I loved this story and am looking forward to reading more from this author.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025Clarissa found out winning isn’t everything when love is on the line. What an enchanting story, filled with characters who have flaws, strengths, pride, and humility. Entertaining plot that kept me riveted to the end.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2024The Determined Debutante was such a fun book to read…the perfect romance to cuddle up with on the first cool evening of autumn. I can’t wait to read more books by Meredith Bond.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024Lady Preston is the most impressive character in this story. All of the male characters are just a little over done. Who does what the Duke did to his best friend? Earl of Oxbridge thinks he is too big for any woman. Our heroine, Clarissa thinks she has to win the season, while Miss Buttery-Clements makes off with the prize. To be honest, who needs a villain in this story with the main characters and the supporting characters doing the dirty against each other. As I said, Lady Preston our Zodiac Matchmaker keeps the story going through all the chaos.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024I really liked this story and read it straight through. I found myself laughing at the thoughts of the main characters. Ox is a big man and thought he would damage a woman. Clarissa is a competitor and thinks of the marriage mart as a game to win. The four sided love triangle was well written and fun to read. It would have been nice to see the aunt get some sort of comeuppance. Since this book is first in a new series, I am now eagerly waiting to see what happens next.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2024A very enjoyable read mixed with a bit of humor and romance. Lady Preston introduces Ox to Clarissa in hopes that they will court and marry. Instead they enjoy a sweet friendship as they each set their sights on different prospective suitors. There then follows some misunderstandings and unforeseen events that they must deal with before they realize they were meant for each other.
