Book Description:
Catherine Coulter brings readers the eighth book in the bestselling Sherbrooke Bride historical romance series. In the New York Times bestseller Sherbrooke Twins, Catherine Coulter introduced us to twins James and Jason Sherbrooke, two of the handsomest, most charming young men ever to grace the Sherbrooke family. James, the elder twin, is devoted to his family's land, and is now settled and married to the girl next door. Jason, however, can't forgive himself for his role in the events of five years ago, when his own willful blindness endangered the lives of his father and twin. He fled England, unable to face his family's love and acceptance, and has spent five long years in exile, trying to learn how to live again. Now Jason has returned, and his family will do anything to keep him in England. When he shows interest in purchasing Lyon's Gate, a stud farm near Northcliffe, they are overjoyed -- but there is a complication, in the lovely form of Miss Hallie Carrick, an impetuous, outspoken young lady who may have just what it takes to fire the spark of life in Jason again.

2nd in series This is Jason's story
Bonnie M. from MUSKEGON, MI wrote on 3/3/2007...9th in the Sherbrooke Series
Just a little silly but I still enjoyed it.
After a self-imposed five-year exile, Jason Sherbrook purchases Lyon's Gate, an English stud farm. There he meets Miss Hallie Carrick, whose papers reveal that she has purchased the property, too. With the sale in dispute, the seller makes a decision based on the wisdom of Solomon. Anne Flosnik's narration is superb, as are her characterizations of major and minor British characters, which are so good they give the sense of multiple narrators. Her depiction of the kindly but pompous butler, with an imperious tone and upper-crust accent, makes him a memorable character.
Another great book in the Sherbrooke series.
Note from author:
"Come to Lyon's Gate in 1835 England, visit with the Sherbrookes, and see Jason come back to the fullness and joy of life.
Prepare to laugh yourself silly."
Five years after Jason Sherbrooke leaves England for Balitmore, and the Wyndhams, one of the premiere racingfamilies in the area, he wakes up early one morning with Horaces ugly pug face staring hi down, and know it's time for him to return home.
He sees Lyons Gate, a oncerenowned racing stud farm, and knows this is what he wants. Unfortunately, Hallie Carrick wants it as badly as Jason.....Now life and fate take a hand....
Jason want to breed and race horses, primarily his very own horse, Dodger, who's faster than a Baltimore pick pocket. When his twin takes Jason to a racing stud farm near his home, Jason is absolutely certain that this is the property he needs to procure. Unfortunately, Hallie Carrick wants the farm as well, and she is prepared to fight him down and dirty for it.
The scene is Lyon's Gate, 1835, in England. Prepared to be enthralled with this story.
I love her books. Excellent book in an excellent series
