Publisher's Summary

Kate Worthington knows her heart and she knows she will never to marry. Her plan is to travel to India instead - if only to find peace for her restless spirit and to escape the family she abhors. But Kate’s meddlesome mother has other plans. She makes a bargain with Kate: India, yes, but only after Kate has secured - and rejected - three marriage proposals.

Kate journeys to the stately manor of Blackmoore determined to fulfill her end of the bargain sooner rather than later and enlists the help of her dearest childhood friend, Henry Delafield. But when it comes to matters of love, bargains are meaningless and plans are changeable. There on the wild lands of Blackmoore, Kate must face the truth that has kept her heart captive. Will the proposal she is determined to reject actually be the one thing that will set her heart free?

Set in Northern England in 1820, Blackmoore is a regency romance that tells the story of a young woman struggling to learn how to follow her heart.

Enjoyable

Quite enjoyable, it took a very long time (most of the book) to get to the very short and disappointing ending, I feel like there were so many unresolved things, mostly with the mean characters. There was not closure or explanation as to what happened with them, especially since we got so involved with them. Otherwise it was a nice clean story if not a bit depressing most of the time.

A lovely sweet story

A lovely sweet story. Took a little time to get into the book, or even like the protagonist. But story unfolds nicely.
