Publisher Description
En la Inglaterra de 1820 la única carrera para la mujer es casarse. Pero Kate Worthington conoce su corazón y sabe bien que nunca lo hará. Su plan es viajar a la India, aunque solo sea para encontrar la paz que le pide su espíritu inquieto y para escapar de una familia a la que aborrece. Sin embargo, su entrometida madre tiene otros planes para ella, así que le plantea un trato: podrá ir a la India, sí, pero solo tras haber conseguido
—y rechazado— tres propuestas de matrimonio.
Decidida a cumplir su parte del trato, Kate parte hacia la mansión de Blackmoore para pedir ayuda a su amigo de la infancia, Henry Delafield. ¿Será capaz de rechazar una propuesta que, en realidad, es lo único que puede dar alas a su corazón?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Donaldson's second Regency romance (after Edenbrooke) is riveting and evocative. Beautiful, passionate Kate Worthington, determined to be different from her scandalous mother and sisters, has decided never to marry. She seeks solace in the friendship of Sylvia Delafield and her handsome and intelligent brother, Henry, who will inherit the vast Blackmoore estate. When Henry finally escorts Kate to his ancestral home, where he is expected to propose to the lovely Miss St. Claire, Kate is overcome by the hauntingly beautiful house and its surrounding moors, cliffs, and waters, just as she is by the slow but definite change in her relationship with Henry. As the untamed natural atmosphere unleashes a longing and intensity that both Henry and Kate have suppressed, they must take the risk of making bargains, uncovering secrets, and embracing their truest desires. Readers will be absolutely captivated by the beautiful imagery, sizzling tension (which never manifests explicitly, earning the book its designation of "proper"), and mesmerizing plot.

It was an enjoyable read. Not as good as Edenbrooke though.
Blackmoore
I loved Edenbrooke and didn’t expect that this book could live up to it. I was pleasantly surprised to find I was wrong. The two books are very different but both excellently written and captivating. I have read and re-read Edenbrooke and look forward to doing the same with Blackmoore, although I have not yet had the chance since I just finished it at two o clock this morning after reading it all in one sitting. Donaldson has taken a place among my favorite authors. I hope she has more books coming. If you enjoy regency romance, do not pass up these books.
