#1 New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter's Sherbrooke family saga continues, with James and Jason Sherbrooke. James, twenty-eight minutes older than his brother, is the heir--a student of astronomy who rides like a centaur, and unlike his brother, Jason, enjoys learning the ropes of managing his father's estate. He no longer sows excessive wild oats, as his neighbor, Corrie Tybourne-Barret, a brat he's known since she was three years old, looks forward to doing since she turned eighteen... As for Jason, he swims like a fish, loves horses, wants to start a stud farm, and sows more oats than a man should be allowed--until he finally meets a girl who stops him in his tracks. Adventures compound in this "madly romantic, supremely sexy adventure" (Booklist), with rich, colorful characters and a confounding mystery.
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.
Hooray the family is back!!!

My favorite family's back again with more of Alex & Douglas (I'm sorry, I LOVE it that they still attack each other and he still hikes up her bodice!) The boys have grown up to be great men and I cannot wait to read more about Jason and his American travels.
Engrossing Coulter Mystery and Family Dyamic with a twist
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Like many readers, I have been a fan of Coulter's work for many years. I anticipated the lastest historical romance installment. This book was worth the wait. I loved the look at the previous Sherbooke characters (i.e. I found Tyson Sherbrooks's take of the Virgin Bride fascinating). I stayed up all night reading this gem. While the mystery was engrossing and the romance between Corrie and James sweet; it was the story of Jason and Judith I found to be the most powerful. It raises a lot of moral questions (what is love, how does one know if it is love or lust, how does a person deal with depression, etc). This reader is awaiting the next installment of the Sherbrooke saga. I want to see more of Jason, as well as find out more about the smuggler. I wouldn't mind hearing more about Jessie and James Wyndam either.
