I think I’m done with this series. I’m not a fan on dub con, except in dark romance. I’m also not a fan of the “hero” calling the heroine a ninny, an idiot or stupid when she has done nothing wrong. The past 3 books have had asshole heroes. 2 tormenting the heroines with tricks and harsh words. Like the heroines weren’t even human. I’ll leave this series to the true historical romance readers.
You met Sinjun Sherbrooke in The Sherbrooke Bride and in The Hellion Bride, a delightful, quite endearing fifteen-year-old who, I hope, charmed your socks off.

Now she's nineteen, blessed with Sherbrooke blue eyes, wit to burn, and a wonderful sense of humor. She is also bored with the London Season until she spies Colin Kinross, the Scottish earl of Ashburnham, across the dance floor at a London ball. When she overhears Colin complain that he must find a wealthy bride quickly in order to survive, Sinjun promptly introduces herself as the answer to his prayers.

Despite all odds, Sinjun manages an elopement to Scotland to begin her life in a drafty old castle that holds more revelations and surprises than Sinjun could ever imagine. You'll show more also meet another ghost, Pearlin' Jane, who teams up with the Virgin Bride.

Do enjoy Sinjun. She's one hell of a bride.

Good not great. Fairly typical historical romance.
I honestly don't really know why I have so many of Catherine Coulter's books. I think I used to like them, but now I just find them a bit silly and far inferior to other historical romances.
Píše se rok 1807. Hradní pán Colin Kinross, hrabě z Ashburnhamu, pohledný muž pohnutého osudu, je odhodlán zachránit rodinné panství před zkázou. Potřebuje se neprodleně oženit s bohatou nevěstou. Shodou náhod mu na plese v Londýně zkříží cestu odhodlaná mladá kráska Joan, svými bratry přezdívaná Sinjun. Je jí devatenáct, má nádherné oči, je skutečně zámožná a za svým cílem jde až příliš neohroženě; Colin ji upoutal na první pohled, sama mu bez váhání nabídla, aby si ji vzal za manželku. Svůdná dívka skutečně prosadí svou a užaslý Colin unáší svoji příští ženu domů do Skotska. V patách jim spěchají pronásledovatelé. Další děsivé tajemství čeká na show more Colinově hradě… show less

All my thanks, Stacy. I hope you and I are... (show all) together until either you lose your passion for pounding the pavement or I expire over my computer keyboard. I’m happy. I’m happy.
