Summary: very disappointed
Review: I bought this book because of its rating at Amazon.com which is always reliable, unfortunately not with this one. I was actually attracted to the story line but after finishing the book, I just didn't have a good night sleep as I always do after reading romance. My disappointment could be listed as follows:1) I hate sex scenes in this book very much. They just have no feelings at all, the way the hero makes love to the heroine. It is pure lust and it just can't convince me how the heroine is being attached to the hero's intimate [chest] most adorable and the author keeps repeating this times and times again and that really [upset me]. I also just couldn't find any reason why the hero finally falls for the heroine at the end, except for her breasts. Its lack of sensuality made me skip lots of sex scenes in this book. (it's probably because I read this book after finishing Stephanie Laurens' `Devil's Bride` and `A Secret Love`, which contain very sensual, intimate and beautiful love scenes). 2) I was actually enjoyed the first half of the book when the heroine tries very hard to make her point and make a stand with the hero. It really shows a great leap of development on the heroine's character, given the fact that she was so terribly soft and would give up everything (including her self-esteem) to please the hero at the start. We did actually see her development in that respect when she makes her way out of the hero's life (although unsuccessfully). HOWEVER, the latter half of the book is quite boring. It just couldn't get my attention anymore when the main point is all about the hero's insistence that what's happening between them is pure lust and not love. 3) Unlike other authors, Stephanie Laurens or Johanna Lindsey, for example, C.Coulter doesn't put so much effort in explaining the hero and heroine's inner feelings. What they think, what they hide, what they truly feel, what they wonder (about themselves and about the other) are not thoroughly presented in the book. That's why I think this book lacks all the important feelings because what you get is only from what they explicitly act. It's not quite charming to present the characters in such a monotonous way. In other romance books, in several occasions, we find that the hero and heroine do not act according to what they think but that gives us a lot of flavors because we know from their thinkings that there are some complexes and misunderstandings happening inside them. We get to know the characters along with their getting to know each other. I don't get such light in the Sherbrooke Bride. And I ended up with frustration because I don't think I understand the characters any better after finishing the book. 4) It's quite strange that at the end, I think the most sensible character is Tony. I understand why he does what he does, the way he treats his wife and the way he deals with everyone. I just wonder why the author couldn't do the same with the main characters. My final word, I think the book is readable but it's not worth a buying because I don't think you would want to re-read it again within this cooming few years, after the first time reading. It would be much wiser to just borrow it from a library.

Summary: The Heiress Bride was Wonderfully entertaining
Review: I have read all the Sherbrooke bride series and I have enjoyed them all. Sinjun is a strong character, who goes after what she wants- Colin, Who is shocked to his toes! I hope to read more on the Sherbrooks!

Summary: This novel has it all, romance, laughter, and just fun.
Review: I have read the Sherbooke Bride many times. Melissande thinks she has the world by the tail and is going to marry Douglas Sherbrooke until Tony steals her away and marries her first. Alexandra, Melissande's sister, has always wanted Douglas, so that when the opportunity to wed Douglas arrises she jumps on the idea and then the story really begins. Sinjun, Douglas' sister, keeps everyone on their toes with a little fun here and there. I have read all of the bride books and then in a few years I read them again. She is the only author that I really look for in a book store.

Summary: Didn't expect it will be so bad
Review: I like "Lord Harry" very much and expected this one will be good also. Big disappointment. It is not even close to a smart and funny story of "Lord Harry".

Summary: Another hot one from Coulter!
Review: I love Catherine Coulter, and The Sherbrooke Bride is one of her best! Alex is a loveable and believeable heroine, and Douglas is a hunk of the first order. Any fan of romance could not help but love this book.

Summary: Funny story :)
Review: I loved this book. The hero was absolutely not perfect, and neither was the heroine. They made me laugh. I couldn't put down this book, and had to stay up all night just to finish it. The hero could have behaved better, but so could the heroine. I think they were a perfect match :)

Summary: A lovely book!
Review: I read the "Sherbrooke Bride" and I'm looking forward to read more books from Catherine Coulter. I agree with a reviewer that wrote that this isn't earth-shattering literature, but it's a trully enjoyable read, fast-pacing, funny and with witty dialogues. Of course Douglas may sound as a beast at the beginning, but he's so outrageous that the whole affair seems hilarious. It is a fun read after all and not Dickens.
Alexandra is a great heroine, loving him since a child and willing to forgive his mistreating her since she realizes that he feels trapped in their marriage. I like it when one of the heroes can see thgrough the other's point of view and not stick to their own beliefs and sentiments.
The book is a most enjoyable read, one you never want to end and one I'm certainly going to read again!!! If you are not looking for serious historical romance try it. Else check mrs McNaught books.

Summary: Excellent read one of my favorite romance novels.
Review: I read this book years ago when I had just about given up on romance novels and it hooked me. Ms. Coulter, who is always clever and superb with her witty dialogue, out did herself with this one. The characters in all of her books are very engaging and never more so than in the Bride trilogy. Since my first reading I have reread it several times and continue to be a huge fan of hers. Please keep 'em coming Ms. Coulter.

Summary: Horrible....
Review: I tried reading a Catherine Coulter book a few years ago and didn't like her style or her characters. Then I read all these 5 star reviews about this book, Sherbrooke Bride, and thought I'd give her a second chance. Well- I'm really sorry I wasted my time. Her characters are hurtful and indescribably mean. The things Douglas says to Alex early in the book are unforgivable. But of course, she not only forgives him, she LOOOVES him. Alex is sweet, bouncy, hopeful and smiling. Douglas beats every bit of that joyful personality out of her. WITH WORDS of course, not physical beating. But still. That's a real form of abuse. And the consummation of their marriage? Disgusting. Rough, hurtful, full of tears - and when he had a chance to at least apologize - he walks away. Leaves the room. The other reviewers talk about the humour of the book. You want humour? Read Jennifer Crusie and Jacquie D'Alessandro. You want heartfelt emotion and tears? Read Mary Jo Putney and Penelope Williamson. You want steamy romance? Try Nicole Jordan and Jasmine Cresswell. Try anything but this.
