      I read this a few weeks ago and completely forgot what I was going to write about it. There were all of things, writing wise that I would change. Perhaps it is because this is an older book. There are few plot elements I thought didn't go well and took away from the romance.

      -The virgin ghost plot. It didn't add much drama to the story but it was a big thing in the beginning and end.

      -The hero and his brother discuss their bastards in the beginning of the novel!!!!! The hero has one child out of wedlock, but it is never mentioned again in the novel!!!!! Um, hello!!! Not very romance-book-hero-like to me.

      -The heroine's sister marries the hero's cousin. There are intimate scenes and POV's from them that I just didn't and wasn't interest in reading about. One, I thought they might get their own novel. Two, I wanted more of the hero and heroine.

      The good things about this book are:

      -Catherine Coulter does have a gift for fun and lively dialogue. Although the transitioning between them were a bit hard to follow. I'm looking forward to reading her more recent works and seeing how she improved.

      -I liked the romance and the progression of it. The heroine had some sass and backbone. She even hit the hero and threw him off his horse if I remember correctly despite being overly in love with him.

      -The hero once he fell for the heroine became possessive and jealous without realizing it.

      "...I have also decided that I will have your breasts kept well covered no matter the cost. No flattened down or bound or anything like hat, but camouflaged just a bit, giving only a hint of your endowments. Perhaps, even a hint is too much. I will have to give this more thought. There are too many gentlemen who would ogle you and make you uncomfortable....I will not have your breasts on display for all those bounders to salivate over, so you can just stop arguing with me."/b>

      I loved this story. Best one of all! So much fun to read, witty dialogue.
    • 4/5
      Just how ugly is the heroine? She’s described as if she’s a troll. I can’t believe she would be so utterly unfortunate looking. Her sister has beauty that is indescribable, but Alex is ugly? Nope, don’t believe it. She might be plain, but not disgusting.

      Other than that, this was a pretty good historical. I know it’s old, but it doesn’t suffer from the historicals of the 80’s with the non-con & simpering. I was thoroughly entertained.
    • 5/5
      This was her first novel in the Bride Trilogy. “Hellion Bride” (Ryder’s story) followed and “The Heiress Bride” (Sinjin’s story, the VERY controversial book with a spousal rape scene) was originally supposed to finish up the trilogy of the Sherbrooke’s brood, but we still had Tysen, so I guess a few years ago CC decided we should catch up with him also, ergo a “Scottish Bride”. I understand that there are a few more stories of their children, but I have not read any.First book introduces us to all Sherbrooke’s, but it’s the story of Douglas Sherbrooke, Earl of Northcliffe. This was one arrogant, crude, rude, and utterly loving tyrant of a man. He is one of those heroes that we hate to love and we try very hard to put up with all his rude, autocratic behavior only because deep down in our hearts we know that only love motivates this man to put up with all the weirdness and antics this family dishes up for him. Only love for his brother Ryder would motivate our hero to put up with their quarterly “bastard meetings”. Only love would keep him from not murdering his cousin Tony for taking the only woman he EVER considered marrying. Douglas in the end of the book becomes, or grows I should say, into a fully fledged hero we knew him to be from the beginning.Alexandra Chambers is a sweet, loveable albeit plain, and yet very strong young woman who loved this man since she was fifteen. From the beginning of this story, I was frustrated with her meek behavior and I rooted for her to stand up and fight her man-for her man! And just when I thought she’s down for the count, she picks herself up, and boy does she come up swinging! I greatly anticipated Douglas’ downfall! Oh, and he did fall! BIG TIME!In rereading this story, I got reminded about why CC’s books appealed to me. The book is very well written with rich and engaging three-dimensional characters. A good dose of humor and a little intrigue added to it, and viola, we have a first-rate romance novel!Some might say that the sex scenes were graphic, but to me they were entertaining and tastefully written. I got a kick out of Douglas’ loss of control of his passion for Alex. It’s nice to see a man lose control once in a while, don’t you think? All in all, a very good read.As I neared the end of this book, I decided to go ahead and reread all four of the Bride series and I was so glad I did. It surprised me also to find out that this time around, I liked Ryder’s story most of all, and I understood Sinjin’s story and the controversy of spousal rape better than I did the first time I read it. At the end of the series, I felt like visiting long-lost family members, and yet I was glad to go home after a short visit.If you never read this author, please find her earlier titles. She used to write well. I’m not sure what happened to her writing lately, but as of now my disappointment still stands. I hope to change my mind, but I’m not holding my breath.

      Feeling the families pressure to produce an heir, the Earl of Northcliffe, Douglas Sherbrooke finally decided on taking a beautiful women he had known years before, Melissande Chambers. Getting a personal request from his country for help, Douglas had few options. Heading to France on a mission himself and leaving his cousin Tony Parrish, Lord Rathmore to marry for him by proxy. On his return he discovered that Tony had married Melissande as well as her sister Alexandra Chambers. Book 1 ….. I have read all (so far) of Catherine Coulter’s FBI series, but this is the first of her historicals that I have read. While it has many elements that are consistent with the stereotyping of historicals and it is ,oh so predictable, but the combination worked well for me. Really liked Alex and even found myself liking the arrogant Douglas eventually. Will continue with this series as soon as I locate The Hellion Bride.
