The Sherbrooke Twins (Bride Series) Book

The greatest thing about this series is seeing previous characters in the current books. I liked this one more than the 1st three books in the series. I've also read Tysen's story, The Scottish Bride which is my favorite of the original bloodline. These books are easy to read and I finished them fairly fast.

This one featured the twins of the oldest brother, Douglas Sherbrooke, who was featured in the first book of the series, The Sherbrooke Bride. They are all grown up, and while the story is mostly centered around the older brother, James, there is a threat to the whole family and everyone gets a good deal of time in the story. The heroine is great in this one, and I think this book has more humor than the others I've read. There is some real depth at the end, which I found surprising but interesting.

There is one aspect I don't really care for. Coulter seems to have a reoccurring theme about men who cannot control themselves on their wedding night and either bungle the job or end up basically raping their bride who is unwilling, or sometimes both. I just find it somehow disturbing. Perhaps it was realistic to that time period, but even so, I'd rather my alpha male be alpha and honorable at the same time.

Having finished the The Heiress Bride right before this one, I don't understand what happened to the other child Alex is carrying at the end of the book. There are no other children for Alex and Douglas that are mentioned here. I find that really odd. Perhaps if I read the books in the series that are in between, I will find an answer.

But all in all, I think this one is one of the best of the series I have read thus far.
