Summary: Blech...
Review: I genuinely enjoyed the story of Alexandra and Douglas Sherbrooke's stormy relationship, and how the finally settled into a decent couple. So it came as a complete shock to find that the qualities that drew me to them (their tempestuousness, spark and vigor) were completely devoid in this novel. Their children were equally as tepid; the only calling cards were their handsome good looks, which we were constantly reminded of. For every good Coulter book, there is an equally bad selection, and unfortunately this is one of the bad ones. On the plus side, it does set up the potential for a good Coulter book to come next.

Summary: Being a Twin
Review: I happen to be a twin...I love Catherine Coulter books...so I just had to get it.For me, it grabed me from the start, and while many may not find it to be a good read, I find it very difficult to find romance novels that I like. I know that Catherince has never disappointed me, and she did not here either. I could relate to the main characters as a twin myself, and I think Catherine got down what it is like to be a twin rather well. I would recomend this to anyone that is an historical romance fan.

Summary: 3 Stars ONLY because I couldn't stop thinking about...
Review: I have always enjoyed the Sherbrooke stories, but I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that in Sinjin's story Alex was definitely pregnant - and the twins James and Jason had already been born. What happened to more siblings? Did she have another miscarriage? I kept reading, waiting for a mention of this... Or am I remembering it wrong????

Summary: Not quite what I expected
Review: I have been reading Catherine Coulter's books since the 80's when I was in school. I really love her historicals, most especially the Sherbrooke (Bride) saga. Without going into details, I will say that I expected this book to be similair in type to Devil's Daughter, but it really wasn't. Another reader said there was too much of Alex & Douglas and I aggree to a certain extent. I really didn't see the ending coming and I am not sure yet how I feel about it- a little let down I think. It was still a good book, but I think some readers may be disappointed. We can only wait a year or so until the next one comes out to see if the way this book ended is worthwhile.

Summary: Nothing but filler
Review: I suspect that Coulter's next book will be simply spectacular. Indeed, when it comes out, I may even find myself glad to have read this book, as it seems mainly to consist in providing backstory for what comes next. In the meantime however, I am sadly disappointed. Coulter had the makings of a real winner here, but between bringing us up to date on the last generation of Sherbrookes and setting up one of the youngsters for a story of his own, the love story of James and Corrie as well as the developing relationship between Jason and Judith, is left with very little substance. I have to give Coulter credit, for the denoument of the mystery subplot takes one by complete surprise, and the interplay between Corrie and James, what there is of it, is charming and amusing. These together almost make the book worth a read. Almost that is. . . but not quite.

Summary: 3 1/2 Starts Good book to set up what is ever coming up next
Review: I thought it was pretty good - not as good as the original Sherbrooke Series. There were some really funny parts with the Cinnamon Bread that had me laughing out loud but I saw another reviewer say they thought this was a filler book for the next book which will probably be about Jason the younger twin. I think she is right. I was left thinking that Catherine wasn't really into writing this book. I agree with other reviewers too that poor James and Corrie's story could have been amazing but was just boring since they were basically part of a filler story. I would have much rather had the story without all the other junk put in there; At least with more of James and Corrie's thoughts. There was no thoughts from either of them for example James struggling with his new found attraction for Corrie or vice versa. It was like oh we need to get married - okay. I felt really cheated by that - and I know Catherine has it in her to write amazing books with great characters! I just felt that she made James and Corrie 2 dimensional and boring because she wanted to use the book to build up to Jason's story. The sex was so glossed over too - first off there was no sexual tension - no even with the first kiss - for either twin and their beloveds in the books. And I know Catherine can write better love scenes. Once again I just think this was a book to fill people in on what was going on to start the next generation of Sherbrooke stories - and poor James and Corrie's characters were the sacrificial lambs -with a shabby love story - that could have been amazing! Of course I will read the next one though - because I think it will be much better. I also hope that Devlin gets his own story too!

Summary: I really enjoyed this book!!
Review: I was really looking forward to reading this book when I first learned it was coming out. Then after reading some of the reviews, I was nervous. Some of CC's book lately haven't really appealed to me and I was afraid that she would ruin a story about a family that I absolutely loved. However, this is not the case. I enjoyed the story and I loved learning about Alex and Douglas. There could have been more story between James and Corrie, but I still felt there was enough to see their connection. I have to say that my only gripe (if you can call it one) is that the title shouldn't have been "The Sherbrook Twins" since it was mainly James' story. At least, there better be a future book about Jason. CC wouldn't leave us hanging, would she? Anyway, you will not be sorry if you buy this book. My heart broke for Jason at the end, not only for his loss, but also for the coming separation of him and James. I hope we don't have to wait a year for the next book.

Summary: exciting late Regency romance
Review: In 1830 Lord James Sherbrooke, older than his twin brother Jason by minutes, thinks that though she is eighteen, Corrie Tybourne-Barrett is a pest and has been all his life. Corrie dresses like a boy as she wildly rides throughout the countryside. James' parents decide that Corrie needs a season and his dad Douglas will select the wardrobe her. When James sees Corrie in a dress he first needs to recover from the shock that she has breasts before he can catch his breath as she is beautiful. Meanwhile Jason races home after a visit from the Virgin Ghost that warns him that his beloved parents are in trouble, which proves prophetic when someone shoots their father. As they try to keep dear old dad safe, James falls in love with Corrie who loves him back and Jason falls in love with Judith McCrae who he met at a gala. However, the family remains unsafe as someone wants Douglas dead and the plan is a perfect snake in Eden scheme. This is an exciting late Regency romance starring two fabulous antagonists who turn into loving protagonists though his early on spanking of her seems inappropriate. The story line starts off like a typical sub-genre entry, but turns into a terse suspense once the first attack occurs and goes even tauter when treachery places the family and Corrie in danger. Catherine Coulter has provided a wonderful tale that hopefully will lead to a fabulous sequel. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Just lovely!
Review: It is always nice for me to see how older charcters are faring in love, and I enjoyed reading about Alex and Douglas.
I was hooked from the first-who wouldn't with theose beautiful, beautiful twins?
I was amazed at the wonderful humor and dialog in this book- amazing chemistry between Corrie and James!
They are made for each other-- I can only day dream of how they are doing now---
This one is a keeper! I have not enjoyed one of Ms. Coulter's books as much as when I first read "Devil's Embrace" which continues to be my most worn down and favorite of her books.
