In his stead is a man whose balls have been solidly relegated into his lover's hand since the day they met as children. It is the sort over which that a young lady in the 19th century would swoon while reading Wuthering Heights, only there is no Heathcliff. It is pure, unadulterated moonlit fantasy romance.

This book bills itself as a 'proper romance, and it is that. There is no hatred of other women just because you don't fucking like them. There is a beloved mother willing to work hard for the children she loves in Little Women. There are characters of intelligence in Little Women. This book is like Little Women in the way that Fifty Shades of Gray is similar to Harry Potter. How DARE this book fucking compare itself to Little Women? It is a fucking travesty. Even the heroine's own mother and sister. All the other women in this book are stupid, slutty, or bitches. There is not a single instance of true female friendship in this book. The main character is so insufferably uptight you'd think she had a stick permanently up her ass (on which a bird has perched). Word count of 'Bird' within this book: 167. It is Wuthering Heights meets Little Women with a delicious must-read twist. 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. Will the proposal she is determined to reject actually be the one thing that will set her heart free?

There on the wild lands of Blackmoore, Kate must face the truth that has kept her heart captive. But when it comes to matters of love, bargains are meaningless and plans are changeable. 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. She makes a bargain with Kate: India, yes, but only after Kate has secured-and rejected-three marriage proposals. But Kate’s meddlesome mother has other plans. Her plan is to travel to India instead-if only to find peace for her restless spirit and to escape the family she abhors. Kate Worthington knows her heart and she knows she will never marry.
