About this listen
Brutally torn between duty and his heart, Henri Du Cormier never expected to be completely enraptured with Adrienne Beaumont, the sister of his betrothed. As the new owner of St. Esprit, Henri knows he must work his way into a tight-knit society, and spurning his fiancée will do the complete opposite. However, there are hidden secrets, black magic, and voodoo entwined like poisonous vines into the Louisiana plantation. Will Henri end up cursing himself in life and love? Adrienne Beaumont is anything but ordinary in a world of demure, Southern belles. Desiring little more than to be rid of a vengeful older sister, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to the mysterious Henri Du Cormier. As their lives grow increasingly entangled, will Adrienne give in to the burgeoning attraction, or will fate play another card?

Bitter Bonds is a historical fiction novel set in 19th century Louisiana approximately 20 years before the American Civil War. Depicting the forbidden romance between a Southern Belle and a newly monied plantation owner, this novel touches on many social issues at the time such as social standing, racial relations with a touch of voodoo in the background for good measure.
The characters were well developed. We have a truly despicable villain in Francine who is completely lacking in any redeemable qualities. I actually breathed a sigh of relief when she got her comeuppance. It was the supernatural aspects that drew me to read this book however, and the author managed to weave those into the plot as well as the treatment of slaves by their plantation masters rather impressively. I genuinely felt transported back in the 19th Century. This was my first introduction to the author and hopefully won’t be my last.
I received an advanced free audible copy of Bitter Bonds and I am voluntarily reviewing it. D Michelle’s narration was warm, clear and concise with excellent pacing. I recommend this book for fans of historical romance set during 19th century Louisiana with shades of voodoo, then this is for you.
