Hell Hath No Fury By: Annabelle Anders


Hell Hath No Fury
Devilish Debutantes Book 1

By: Annabelle Anders



I love the title to this book! Because you know when you read the title, you know how the sentence completes. ‘Like a woman scorned.’

I am one who marries for love, not money. I mean, let’s face it, money would be nice, but when you have love, you have everything. Because when you close your eye at night, and lay next to that man, you know you have everything.

But then there are those who have to have their cake and eat it too. And as I was reading this, I was wanting to reach through this book, and pull out ‘Not so Mr. Perfect’ and teach him a thing or two.

Cecily Nottingham is beautiful, and the thing is, she also has money. In England, it is referenced as a dowry. And here she is, thinking she has found happiness, and the man of her dreams, is already announcing that he is in love with someone else.

Its ok, my jaw fell to the floor too. But what he doesn’t know, in order to keep the dowry that he thought he could walk away with, he must also keep Cecily. Apparently, he didn’t know this, because all he ever saw her for, was her dowry.

Now, imagine how Cecily must feel. Used, and unwanted, but she has a plan of her own. Once she realizes that the Earl has realized that he must keep her, she sets out with her own plan.

Cecily sets out and finds the Earls own cousin, one Stephen Nottingham, hoping this will goad him into divorcing her. Stephen, is handsome as sin, much more than she had bargained for. And he is everything her husband is not. Honorable, loyal and even trustworthy.

Stephen has only returned to England himself, to save his own financial estate which is in ruins. When he meets Cecily, he has found himself in a compromise, he isn’t sure if he should strangle his own cousin, or kiss his cousins scorned and yet gorgeous wife. This meet causes Stephen to suffer with his own honor, and even self-control.

Cecily is about to find out, if love can conquer all, while causing cat fights, duels, and a whole lot of trouble she wasn’t really ready for, Cecily is ready to strive for everything she wanted in the first place. The question is, will she get it?

This is where you come in. I leave you to your destiny, to learn if this enchanting read is everything and more, as it was for me. An extremely entertaining five-star read that I enjoyed all the way to the end, and I think you will too. I encourage you to get your copy, I promise you entertainment in so many ways!



Here are my questions for Miss Anders:



1. What made you write this book and how long did it take you?

This book began as a writing exercise. I wanted to come up with an intriguing first 30 pages without turning it into a book… but it became a book anyway. I wrote it in about 4 weeks.





2. Who designed the cover?
Jena Brignola and myself.

3. Do you have any photos or descriptions of the characters that you can share with us? I wrote the book so quickly that I didn’t really do character sketches, but I really thought this model fit the bill...





4. How was your experience writing this book? As in was it a trying one, or did it help you in any ways?
The book kind of came together magically. I knew I had to get rid of Flavion somehow, and when it came together this way, I loved it. Originally, I was going to kill Flave in the second duel… and then… other things happened. LOL

5. What are you working on now?
I’m doing edits for Hell In A Hand Basket and I’m also working on a Regency Romance where the heroine is a cutter. (Anxiety)… This book is proving to be more challenging than I’d envisioned.


6. What motivated you to write this book and why and did you get the results you hoped for?
The idea of a heroine who was spitting mad drove the story… but Karma took over…and I loved it...


7. Who is your favorite writer and why?
Mary Balogh pulled me into this genre. She can turn anything into a great story. She’s amazing!


8. What suggestions can you offer for the aspiring writers out there?
Don’t delay. Just start writing. You can always come back later and fix it...


9.  How long have you been writing?

Since I was about 10…. But I didn’t finish my first novel until Aug. 2014

10. What are your hobbies?

LOL Reading. I’d love to do more traveling.


11. Where is your favorite place to write?
Wherever I’m the least distracted at the time… I write on my bed, the couch, the kitchen table, outside, and at the library.  Sometimes I sneak in a few words at work but don’t tell!


12. Please share with us your social media and book links:
