About this audiobook

Dear Listener:

Five years after Jason Sherbrooke leaves England for Baltimore and the Wyndhams (The Valentine Legacy), one of the premiere racing families in the area, he wakes up early one morning with Horace's ugly pug face staring him down, and knows it's time for him to go home.

Jason wants to breed and race horses, primarily his own thoroughbred Dodger, who's faster than a Baltimore pickpocket. When his twin James takes him to Lyon's Gate, a once-renowned racing stud farm near his family's home, Jason knows to his soul that this property is what he wants more than anything.

Unfortunately, Hallie Carrick (Night Storm) wants Lyon's Gate just as badly as Jason, and she's fully prepared to fight him down and dirty to get it.

New life and fate take a hand, and the two of them end up with something neither expected.

Come to Lyon's Gate in 1835 England, visit with the Sherbrookes, and see Jason come back to the fullness and joy of life.

    This is a departure from my usual reading matter. I had picked it up at a book sale long ago thinking that it might be a nice change for me. Despite its being a romance, I did enjoy the characters and story enough to finish reading the book, but I won't be seeking out the rest of this Sherbrooke series.The plot involves Jason Sherbrooke, unbelievably handsome Englishman with an identical twin. He has been away in Baltimore, MD, for five years because of a crisis that happened in an earlier volume in the series. When he returns to his family's estate, he sees a stud farm for sale nearby and he wants to buy it and settle down. He is knowledgeable about horses, has the money to buy the place, and so there seem to be no obstacles in his way until . . .Enter Hallie Carrick, a young, impetuous horse lover, who is determined to buy the place for herself. Hallie is likable and will keep you laughing but her naivete is really too much of a stretch even for a romance novel. This is a girl who has grown up on a horse farm and has no problem holding a nervous mare for mating, but doesn't have the slightest clue about sex between humans. Speaking of which, the sex scenes are quite explicit. Not shocking to me but maybe to others. Just sayin'.Anyway, Hallie is wealthy too and always gets her way so the battle to buy the property is on. It ends up with the two of them each owning half the farm and sharing a house, along with a chaperone and servants who are funny characters in their own right. The book will have you chuckling all the way through, perhaps even enough to endure the predictable story.Source: book saleOnly recommended for diehard Coulter fans

    Seriously choppy writing. I almost couldn't read it. It's kind of like a radio with static, you feel like you're missing every third word. I tried, with the first half of the book, then I skimmed the rest, and it went much better. The 3 stars is because it did have a good story, and some witty lines. If it hadn't been written like a series of notes jotted down, I'd have given it at least 4 stars. And the headhopping. I've always thought people were exaggerating when they said headhopping was confusing for readers. Not anymore. I got confused. Several times it said "she thought" and I had no idea which "she" was intended, because it obviously wasn't the same "she" as in the last thought. Bah. 2½ stars. I can't give this one 3.
