Kate's life has had some drastic changes within a matter of hours. She has ended her engagement after discovering the true side to her fiance. Kate has also ended her career. During this time, Kate has been reunited with Sean Harris, her dead sister's husband, but also Kate's first love.

Kate has an adventure in Australia, after deciding to visit her nephew there. Kate and Sean's lives are changing and are never the same. However, the ghost of the past - Kate's sister, not only shadows their lives, but the lives of Kate's family as well. Will her sister's ghost destroy Kate's happiness and forever be a constant reminder and shadow of things gone by or will it be "Just Kate"?

A quick read, but a wonderful story!

Just Kate is a reissue of an old book. The story is good, with LOTS of sex. The conflict comes when Kate goes to visit her sister's ex and her nephew. The family doesn't like it, her dad is powerful, mom is a wimp, and our hero realizes he married the wrong sister. Much of the story is set in Australia and is fairly typical Lael Miller.(old style) I liked it when I read it many years ago. If you're a fan, you've already read it. If you're not, it's worth a glance.

As an avid romance reader living in Australia, I am always looking for more authors to read. There appears to be a severe shortage of good authors which are published for release in Australia. I picked up this book, Just Kate, hoping to find another author along the lines of my favourites, Sandra Brown, Elizabeth Lowell and Linda Howard. This book was quite well written and I did enjoy it, but I found it quite offensive (being Australian myself) how the hero, Sean, used our slang. I have never come across an Australian guy who calls his girl "Sheila" as an endearment. Basically I found the book a good read, with plenty of sex, but not the sexual tension that makes you ache while reading it. I'll read other books by LLM, I hope it was just the Australian references that disappointed me with this book.

This book is a sweet love story full of regrets, guilt, misunderstandings and stubborness on both ends. Has a good feeling ending that some how everybody wins.

This story can easily be read in a day and takes the reader away into the world of Kate and her family...a drug dealing soon to be ex fiance, an over bearing father, a widower whom she happens to love- her brother in law... her nephew,etc. I had a little trouble with Kate and the fact that it was her brother in law who held her heart but she seemed to make it work and found a way for everything to be resolved. There were intesting scenes and other supporting characters that helped the story. It is an easy read and worth a few hours of living down under...

TO LOVE AGAIN
Kate Blake was caught in the hectic blur of Washington's fast lane, working for her senator father and planning the perfect wedding to the "perfect" man. Until both betrayed her and Kate decided to turn her life around. After dumping her useless fiance, she left her meddling family and her high-pressure job behind. Kate headed for Australia and freedom--and landed straight in the arms of powerful Sean Harris. Years ago, Kate had fallen in love with the handsome Australian pilot, but he'd married her sister--and now her parents blamed him for their daughter's death. Could she believe in Sean's innocence? And, more importantly, would she be able to convince him that she wasn't there to kidnap his son, but for herself--just Kate--and for love alone.

I agree wholeheartedly with the previous reviewer! If an Aussie male called me a sheila I would consider it to be a HUGE insult. As much as I love to read the romance novels written by the very clever American authors, I have yet to find one that can write accurately about Australia, esp. regarding the correct usage of our slang. Strange how one word out of place can make you cringe....I was thoroughly enjoying the very alpha Sean until he kept saying 'sheila' - it ruined the mood each time for me & traust me, I would have loved to have been on that camping trip with him!
