Somewhere I'll Find You (Capital Theatre #1) by Lisa Kleypas

114173The toast of the town...

All London is at Julia Wentworth's feet—and anything she desires is hers for the asking. But the glamorous leading lady guards a shocking secret: a mystery husband whom she does not know, dares not mention ... and cannot love.

For years Damon Savage has been searching for the stranger his parents wed him to without his consent, hoping to legally free himself from matrimony's invisible chains. And he is astonished to discover his "bride" is none other than the exquisite lady he'd hoped to make his mistress! But though his wife by law, Julia will never truly be Damon's—until he conquers her fears, his formidable rivals ... and her proud, passionate, and independent heart.
Cover:  Bit of a boring cover to be honest, nothing to really grab your attention.

I love Lisa Kleypas's books.  She's one of my all time favourite historical romance authors, so I've been making my way through her older works.
Somewhere I'll Find You is the first book in the Capital Theatre duology.  I actually read the second book, Because You're Mine, first and it became one of my all time favourite historical romance and pretty much sparked my Lisa Kleypas obsession.
I enjoyed this one, but not quite as much as Because You're Mine.  I found the romance in this one...just less.
Interesting premise where the two protagonists are married by their demanding fathers as children, both rebel, and haven't seen each other since.
Damon has thrown himself into keeping his family estate alive after his reckless father gambled away the fortune.
Julia has assumed a life on the stage, becoming a revered actress.
When their paths cross again, they're surprised to find they might not want their marriage dissolved after all.
Over all I enjoyed the story, but not as much as previous novels by Lisa Kleypas.
4/5 stars.
