If you enjoy historical fiction, especially the Regency era, you won't want to miss Blackmoore! Kate is determined to get away from her crazy family, especially her mother. She wants to go to India with her Aunt Charlotte, but her mother wants her married and settled down.
Kate also wants to visit her friend Henry's estate, Blackmoore. Determined to get her heart's desire, Kate makes a deal with her mother to placate her. If she acquires and rejects three marriage proposals, her mother will let her go to India and that will be the end of it. Her mother agrees and Kate figures she'll go to Blackmoore, Henry's estate. With his help, she should have no problem securing the three proposals so she can begin on the journey she really wants.
The problem is that securing the proposals isn't as easy as Kate believed it would be. Fate another plan for Kate, if she's willing to compromise what she believes is her heart;s desire, to be free of her mother and family.
With engaging characters and a deftly described world, Blackmoore is a stellar read. Donaldson's characters slowly reveal themselves to their true character as the story unfolds. While I detested Kate's mother, and Henry's for that matter, I thoroughly enjoyed Kate and Henry's journey together. Wonderful read!
