1) Paperback Book The Heiress Bride (Bride Series) by Jove. It was a good story with interesting characters although did leave me confused with outcome of letter at end of book. BUT biggest distraction & problem is that throughout the book entire paragraphs are repeated, doubled, one right after another. Just no reason for such sloppy printing. Am really amazed at the awful job the printer did & that the author didn´t see fit to recall these books. Yikes!¤

2) Paperback Book The Heiress Bride (Bride Series) by Jove. The woman that read it was ok but her accent was at times a bit hard to understand, and it was too short. I like to hear the whole story not just skim over the storyline. I wish that the unabridged version was available at a reasonable price.¤

3) Paperback Book The Heiress Bride (Bride Series) by Jove. As I mentioned in my review of The Sherbrooke Bride, I bought this trilogy together. I guess I felt an obligation to read it through, although my inclination was to stop halfway through the first. The only actually redeeming quality throughout the other 2 books was the character of Sinjin. She was smart, tough and funny. I had some hope for her book out of all the others.

It started out okay but somewhat silly. By the time they get around to getting married, it´s just awful. I know that one reviewer felt that this was "historically accurate", but while it might have been in some cases, it wasn´t in all of them, and it definitely isn´t the type of "accuracy" one wants to read in a "romance" novel. As another reviewer mentioned, you MIGHT be able to understand Colin "losing himself" the first two times, but the third was deliberate, forceful, and violent, and Colin admitted to using it as punishment. I still believe that Ms. Coulter must have had a terribly traumatic experience when losing her virginity, and is focused on that too much.

I also wonder what makes Ms. Coulter repeatedly refer to her "heroines" as looking extremely young. In each book they are mentioned as looking about 16 I believe. Isn´t 18, 19, etc. young enough? Now I have to have the mental image of CHILDREN being raped?

Now that I have fulfilled my obligation to myself by reading this trilogy, I am completely done with this author. I´ve heard that her modern novels are better, but I´m just not willing to risk any more hours of my life on books that are little better than violent sex and story. That is NOT romance, it´s not erotic, and I don´t understand how anyone can consider it so.

Want GREAT authors? Mary Jo Putney, Kasey Michaels. Want good authors? Julia Quinn, Julie Anne Long, Jacquie D´Allessandro, Stephanie Laurens. Really really awful authors? This one tops my list. I cannot fathom why her books are so popular.¤

4) Paperback Book The Heiress Bride (Bride Series) by Jove. In the Heiress Bride Coulter, gives the reader a chance to follow the continuing saga of the Sherbrooke family through the lone female of her generation. The heiress, Sinjin, is quite a bit younger than her three brothers -- almost a contemporary of her sisters-in-law, which makes their overprotectiveness understandable (sort of). The story begins as Sinjin overhears a conversation and annnounces to one of the conversants, Colin Kinross, a Scottish earl, that she is just what he is looking for in a wife. Although this is enough to establish Sinjin´s unconventional nature, I found that reading about her exploits in her brothers´ stories enriched my appreciation of her spirit.

Coulter´s Sherbrooke series translate very well in the audio book format. The talented narrator is able to project the different characters through tonal qualities, inflection and regional speech patterns.

The MP3 format is a pleasure for those of us who listen to audio books to make lengthy workout sessions tolerable.¤

5) Paperback Book The Heiress Bride (Bride Series) by Jove. Hi there, I enjoy all of Ms. Coulter´s books, Especially the bride series, I follow them will b/c I love to read about history and for the most part concerning relationships between the man and woman in the 1800´s that´s how it was. The world was not just a overpouring with racism but sexism as well. During this victorian age men thought of themselves as superior and dominant over the woman. Back then it was the man that guided the woman through sexual intercourse, there was no sex ed! The night you got married was when you were educated. You can just imagine if men can mess up simple things like reading and writing, that they can mess up a woman´s first time. The point is they handled it the best way they know how which is basically like a rape. But you can´t fault Ms. Coulter for telling it like it is. That´s how it was back then I mean it is an adult romance novel if you wanted something sweet and innocent you should have bought a disney movie. Yes these scenes may not be pretty or how we like them but that´s a slice of life and if you don´t like it bite something else! Ms. Coulter keep doin what you´re doin some one is always going to have something they don´t like. But let me tell you something I bet you a lot more wedding nights happened exactly how she described them back then, then just a sweet caring experience. Most men believed, Like Douglas said in the ´Sherbrooke Bride" that women weren´t meant to recieve pleasure and it is a man´s job to give it to them. That´s not something she made up they really did believe that. So don´t be mad at Ms. Coulter be mad at history.¤
