Summary from Goodreads:
Kate Worthington knows her heart and she knows she will never 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 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. It is Wuthering Heights meets Little Women with a delicious must-read twist.

My Review:
I loved this book. It had more sadness in it than Edenbrooke, but the emotions up and down were very fulfilling. This is another must-read for those that like clean, historical romance.
I read this book a couple of weeks ago and was so sucked up in the story and emotions that I had to take a break from reading for a few days. I wanted to linger with this story and these characters. And, I feel that I can't do justice to this book in my review. I can't say enough good things about it and I can't find the words anyway.
Warnings: None
I would let my 15 year old read this book.
I feel the exact same way. I did end up liking this one a touch more than Edenbrooke, though. Did you? Or, are they about the same? Or, did you like Edenbrooke better?
ReplyDeleteJenni,
DeleteI liked this one more than Edenbrooke. This one had more range of emotions for me. Although, I love both of them.
