About the author

Linda Lael Miller

547 books3,294 followers
The daughter of a town marshal, Linda Lael Miller is a #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of more than 100 historical and contemporary novels, most of which reflect her love of the West. Raised in Northport, Washington, Linda pursued her wanderlust, living in London and Arizona and traveling the world before returning to the state of her birth to settle down on a spacious property outside Spokane.
Linda traces the birth of her writing career to the day when a Northport teacher told her that the stories she was writing were good, that she just might have a future in writing. Later, when she decided to write novels, she endured her share of rejection before she sold Fletcher’s Woman in 1983 to Pocket Books. Since then, Linda has successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, mysteries and thrillers before coming home, in a literal sense, and concentrating on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
Long a passionate Civil War buff, Linda has studied the era avidly for almost thirty years. She has read literally hundreds of books on the subject, explored numerous battlegrounds and made many visits to her favorite, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where she has witnessed re-enactments of the legendary clash between North and South. Linda explores that turbulent time in The Yankee Widow, a May 7, 2019 MIRA Books hardcover, also available in digital and audiobook formats.
Dedicated to helping others, “The First Lady of the West” personally financed fifteen years of her Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women, which she awarded to women 25 years and older who were seeking to improve their lot in life through education. She anticipates that her next charitable endeavors will benefit four-legged critters.

This review is for Just Kate.

I had fun with this story. It won't be for everyone. It is an older contemporary story and has some dated language. I still really enjoyed it and didn't take it too seriously. The plot is crazy.

Kate has always had a crush on her brother-in-law. She hasn't seen him for years, since her sister dies. But runs into at the very beginning of the story and thus begins their romance. I'm sure if I looked at this book with a more critical eye, I would not like it. But I went in for the drama and loved it.

I’m actually saddened at this book. LLM is my favorite author. This book (Just Kate) was written in 1989, and if I’d have read it first I’d have not read any others. I’m glad her writing improved to where it is now. The story line to this one was weak and seemed to end abruptly. Not my favorite although it wasn’t awful. The second story was an eye-roller for me. I couldn’t finish it.

Two novels about Americans falling for alpha Australians. Fun stories. Quite a bit of sexy interludes.

This was a 2 books in one deal. Just Kate by Linda Lael Miller was OK. Nothing noteworthy. But I like her as an author. But the second one, What a Westmoreland Wants was garbage. Stupid premise. Repetitive. If I've read the main character was a 24 year old virgin once, I don't need to read it 6 times in the half I suffered to read.
