A romance novel with a solid story line. I enjoyed this book very much, and I'm not normally a romance novel fan.
Those who are drawn to the humor and cozy family dynamics of Coulter's Bride series (The Sherbrooke Bride, etc.), starring the lovable Sherbrooke family, will relish this new installment, which focuses on dashing identical twins James and Jason. The twins have had their share of sexual escapades, and though they think they still have a few more years to sow their "wild oats," romance sneaks up on them. James finds himself drawn to his tomboy neighbor, Corrie, who transforms from duckling to swan for her first season in London. Meanwhile, Jason waltzes into love with the alluring and mysterious Judith McCrae. But the twins' romances are put on hold when someone tries to kill their father, Douglas. Suspicion revolves around a man named Georges Cadoudal, a French spy who died 15 years earlier. Douglas suspects that Cadoudal's children may be trying to seek revenge, but he doesn't know how to track them down. Those new to the Sherbrooke family may be baffled by the mystery surrounding Cadoudal, but they'll be thoroughly charmed by James and Corrie and the affectionate banter among the family members, though some of their gags grow old after a while. A clever surprise ending wraps up the mystery subplot neatly and will ensure that many readers return for the next entry in Coulter's Sherbrooke saga.
Very good read
I'm not a big fan of Catherine Coulter, but this book was very good.
Classic Coulter Regency Romance. I really liked this one. Enjoyable Characters and a interesting plot. Hope she continues with another one in this series.
I loved all of Coulter's bride series. This is the 8th in the series but not necessary to read in order.
The Sherbrooke family saga continues with James & Jason Sherbrooke, identical males twins who look exactly like their beautiful Aun Melissande, and not at all like their father, the Earl, which riles him to no end.
The Sherbrooke family sage is a good read.
The Sherbrooke family sage is a good read.
I really liked this book. I liked the way it referred to other characters in previous books in this series.
Great book in the series!
Any Sherbrooke story by CC is great...
This isn't my favorite Catherine Coulter, but if you've read the other Sherbrooke books, you'll want to read this one.
Catherine Coulter always amazes me with her wonderful books. This is one her finest. A wonderful mix of adventure, romance and humor.
I didn't like this as well as the first books in the series but it is a good read. Quite funny in parts.
The Sherbrooke family saga continues with James and Jason Sherbrooke, identical male twins who look exactly like their beautiful Aunt Melissande, and not at all like their father, the earl, which riles him to no end.
James, twenty-eight minutes older than his brother, is the heir. He is solid, is James. He's a student of astronomy, rides like a centaur, and unlike his brother, Jason, enjoys learning the ropes of managing his father's estates. He no long sows excessive wild oats, as his neighbor, Corrie Tybourne-Barrett, a brat he's known since she was three years old, looks forward to doing since she turned eighteen. When she nearly shoves him off a cliff, sneering all the while, James hauls off and spanks her.
A promising start. Then, unfortunately, the earl, Douglas Sherbrooke, is shot at. This leads to Georges Cadoudal, a Frenchman in the employ of the English War Ministry with whom Douglas had dealings some years before. But Cadoudal died in 1815, fifteen years earlier. Were there children who might want revenge against Douglas? But the question is why: Georges and Douglas parted friends - at least Douglas believed that they had.
Adventures compound; Corrie hurls herself into the thick of things. As for Jason, he swims like a fish, loves horses, wants to start a stud farm, still sows more oats than a man should be allowed, but finally meets a girl who stops him in his tracks. And then what happens?
You will have to read the book to find out. I hope you enjoy yourself. The characters are rich, colorful, and a hoot to boot. The mystery will confound you.

After reading a bit of the story, I realized that I'd come into the middle of an ongoing series. I think this is the first book I've read by Catherine Coulter. The writing was engaging and there was lots of humor in the dialogue between characters.
This is the story about two identical young men who are enjoying the sowing of their wild oats. However, James runs into a problem with his neighbor, Corrie, who has been a thorn in his side for most of their lives. However, Corrie is about to have a Little Season, a time to prepare for her first real London season. James comes to see that the little hoyden has turned into a lovely swan.
While James is trying to come to grips with his feelings for Corrie, Jason becomes intrigued with Judith. However, when someone tries to kill Douglas Sherbrooke, the twin's father, romance has to move to the background until the attempted murderer is caught. The problem is that there are no clues and no suspects.
The only thing I didn't really like about the story was the fact that both men were absolutely gorgeous and all women could only watch and stare. They were fabulous swimmers, horsemen, etc. That got old quickly.
