Review
For five long years, Nicholas Talbot has waited for the day when he could send to England for his beloved Alyssa. A string of bad luck has left Nicholas's plantation in financial trouble and his partner dead. He needs Alyssa more than ever. It bothers him that he can't quite remember what she looks like, but Nicholas loves her and once they are married everything will be fine. But it's not Alyssa that gets off the ship, it's her sister Kate and she brings news that Alyssa has no intentions of marrying him. Kate offers herself as a bride instead and Nicholas is outraged-- convinced that she only wants to marry him because she thinks he is a wealthy plantation owner. Well, he's not about to fall for her plan. Kate never anticipated Nicholas's anger, in fact, she doesn't even know why she went along with her sister's plan at all. Well, that's not quite true. Ever since she met Nicholas six years ago she's been in love with him. But he never gave her a second glance because Kate isn't the delicate, blonde, blue-eyed beauty Alyssa is. Still, she can't believe he would suggest she talked Alyssa out of marrying him. Kate would like nothing better than to get as far from Nicholas as she can, but she owes him the money he sent Alyssa for her trip. Reluctantly, Kate agrees to be his housekeeper and take care of his two orphaned nieces, Celia and Emily. The business arrangement between Nicholas and Kate quickly turns to passion. But Nicholas is still convinced Kate is plotting to marry him for what he can give her, not for love. And Kate thinks Nicholas is still in love with Alyssa. Kate is determined to pay her debt and leave, but the girls need her. And though he won't admit it, Nicholas needs her, too. A lovely tale by the talented Elizabeth Graham! She never fails to create endearing characters that remain in your heart long after the book is finished! My Darling Kate is exceptional! The romance is touching and passionate! Elizabeth Graham is a marvelous storyteller! A book by her is a guaranteed keeper! This heart warming historical stands out as Elizabeth Graham's best book yet!Kristina Wright -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved -- From Literary Times

shallow and rushed,

This review is from: My Darling Kate (Lovegram Romance) (Paperback)
This read was very disappointing. It started off well enough, but the entire events of the sister returning and 'messing' things up and what ensues after reads as if the author realised she had run out of time and needed to just wrap it up. That part of the plot was undeveloped, the sub plot was poorly woven or connected with the main plot - read like a farce. I would not recommend. But you will love Forever Mine by Charlene Raddon - Superb,well paced and just a delightful story and characters

This review is from: My Darling Kate (Lovegram Romance) (Paperback)
I ran across this book at a used bookstore for $2 and I decided it sounded interesting and I would give it a try. I am so glad that I did. This is such a sweet story...the main guy is in love with a girl and thinks she is coming to marry him but instead she sends her sister in her place, at first he is furious of course and it takes them sometime to warm up to eachother...when they finally do, the sister decides to come and mess things up...who will he choose? Read the book and find out. Highly recommended!
