My Darling Kate
A MAN IN LOVE ...
On the shores of the Chesapeake, Nicholas Talbot scans the faces of the disembarking passengers for his beloved Alyssa, the beauty who sailed from England to Maryland Colony to be his bride and mistress of his plantation. But to his utter shock, he finds himself facing her older sister Kate, who announces that Alyssa has fallen in love with another man and that she has come to take her place.
... WITH THE WRONG WOMAN
Kate tries bravely to conceal her humiliation at Nicholas's cruel rejection. Her own traitorous passion for her sister's fiance had won out when she was asked to travel to the Colonies in her sister's stead. Though the plight of Nicholas's orphaned nieces gives Kate a reason to stay, each day is an agonizing torment of unrequited desire. Then, just as a fragile trust begins to grow between Nicholas and Kate, Alyssa arrives in America, ready to claim what is hers --- daring Kate to fight for the man and the love she refuses to surrender at any cost ...

A pretty good angsty read that doesn’t resolve until the last 10 pages. The two MC’S are good ones and we always know what the two are thinking about each other. I liked the secondary characters. I thought we had a good secondary romance happening as well. However when it looks as though those 2 would have their hea they didn’t. To me it ended abruptly in one small paragraph. I wondered if perhaps they would have their own book, but doesn’t appear so. I didn’t think that part was handled well I wanted to see them together. Especially after what they had been through. Other than that the plot was good, if a little predictable, there was some action and it had me turning pages.

I didn't find it angsty 😕as it is mentioned H loves h's sis , which is actually not. H was just captured with h's sis beauty which he thought as love. Plot was good but the actual content was lacking. Lots of issues are there on this book.
Firstly , a thing which was confusing was age of the characters. For example Alyssa h's sis 5 years ago she was just a young girl. What does it mean was she 13 or 14 or what? If it is right then it made hero pervert😬😬 Secondly, a/c to me there were lots of miscommunication and misinterpretations b/w the lead characters. Instead of talking they would assume anything they wanted to assume. Besides this Alyssa was not bad as it's portrayed in the blurb. Beside this I really wanted to see how love bloomed b/w the lead characters for example like Kate helping Nicholas in plantation or how they survived harsh time together. Lastly other problem was Devona's character I really felt sad for her and I was really angry Morgan like what he did with Devona's. I really wanted to read like what was their ending it was like incomplete for me.
