Catherine Coulter manages to mix modern day attitudes into a setting in the early 1800s. This book is fun to read. The protagonist is a brash, lovely heiress who sets her sights for a Scottsman who has inherited a once great castle and property that needs her dowry money to rehab the works. The characterization is good, and the action clever and quick. There are two more books associated with this production: "The Sherebrooke Bride" and "The Hellion Bride." I suspect this book is number three in the plot line, but no matter, it stands alone.
Helpful Score: 1
Regency romance about a sassy, outspoken British girl who marries a Scottish earl looking for a wealthy bride.
This byzantine conclusion to Coulter's Bride trilogy ( The Sherbrooke Bride ; The Hellion Bride ), set in 1807 Scotland and loaded with sex, splinters under the burden of its foolish and two-dimensional characters. Colin Kinross, seventh earl of Ashburnham, faces daunting problems: his castle is decaying, villainous clansmen are usurping his land and unmanageable debts keep mounting. But Joan "Sinjin" Sherbrooke, at 19 one of England's wealthiest women, has fallen in love with him and proposes a financially rewarding marriage. In order to escape Sinjin's two protective brothers, they elope to Colin's Scottish castle. There Colin presents Joan with two surly stepchildren and a pair of malicious sisters-in-law--it seems he has kept a previous marriage secret. Complications abound. An anonymous letter writer accuses Colin of throwing his first wife off a cliff--are murderous kinsmen seeking vengeance? Even ghosts are pressed to intervene at crucial moments as th e disjointed plot veers out of control.
Welcome to the exciting conclusion of the English Regency Bride Trilogy, The Heiress Bride. Your met Sinjun Sherbrooke in The Sherbrooke Bride and in The Hellion Bride, a delightful, quite endearing fifteen-year-old.

Meet the charming and witty Sinjun.
She is one of my favorite characters in the series. If you read these books in order you will find a lot of similarities in the stories. Just to warn you there Coulter always put in a spousal rape scene in there and it is always distasteful.
Colin is a huge idiot so bear with him. She handles him beautifully for the most part. I love her banter.
