[.ca] Scottish Bride (Cd)Libr. (Unabr.) (ISBN 1597378321)

From Amazon.co.uk:
Perennial New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter gifts readers with a spectacular surprise, a fourth volume in her popular Brides trilogy. Tysen Sherbrooke, youngest of those sexy Sherbrooke brothers, is a widowed vicar, a single father of three who displays none of the wild oats his brothers possess in spades. When Tysen discovers that he has inherited a Scottish castle and the title of Baron Barthwick, little does he realise just how much his austere life will change. Upon arriving at his new holdings, Tysen encounters hostile townspeople who hate the new English baron simply because he's not Scottish; he also meets lovely, fiery-haired Mary Rose Fordyce, known as the local bastard, who is trying desperately to keep her unscrupulous guardian from bartering away her virginity. Under Tysen's protective eye, Mary Rose makes his sons and precocious daughter smile--and also behave. More importantly, she makes him smile, too. In fact, Mary Rose makes Tysen do--and feel--a lot of things he has never done or felt before. Coulter's clever, conversational style and ready wit in The Scottish Bride will delight and amuse fans as they relish this unexpected treat! --Alison Trinkle, Amazon.com

i read all the other books in the series:
I read all three of the regency series and loved them when i heard about the scottish bride i was excited to go and read it. However when i started the book it wasn't exciting i kept on reading the book thinking it had to get better.The chracters never stood up for themselves and it seemed almost that they were letting things happen to them.I haven't even finished the book and am considering putting it the shelf. This is not one of the best catherine coulter's i have ever read and i love reading her books.

Terrible, just terrible:
This and Mad Jack were stunning dissappointments. Where are the fiery heroines, the ones with true pluck and spirit? Why do all of Coulter's females become bedridden at some point? What happened to the mystery? There was nothing fresh about this novel. The relationship is missing the brilliant spark that is so enchanting in many of her previous works--it seems lately Coulter is marrying off her couples earlier and earlier. This story has been done to death by Coulter. Try the "Song" series or the early Sherbrooke brides.

Put this Bride Back on the shelf:
I loved the original book "The Sherbrooke Bride". I have read all of the bride books and this is by far the worse. The only reason I have given this book two stars is because it lets us know what has become of our favorite characters. Otherwise, this book is a complete waste of time. If you want to be thoroughly entertained I suggest reading the first book which happens to be about Alex and Douglass. Skip the second for Ryder's story is so-so. I would then read Sinjun's search for love. It is very funny and captivating. Ms. Coulter generally writes really good books. She should have quit while she was ahead.

My Favorite Bride Book:
This is by far my favorite Bride book. I loved how Tysen and Mary Rose came together. They came together through love and respect. Tysen goes from stern to relaxed to stern then to relaxed again. It made his character believable especially all the pressures he was under. Mary Rose was so nice to read about, she wasn't a scared out of her mind person. She knew what had to be done and got it done. They came to love each other and when they married Tysen didn't have to resort to rape to have her. Bravo!!! I respect and love him for that and his moral/ethics of how to treat a person. Meggie is absolutely a kind and devout child. She wasn't smart-alecky or annoying. She truly cared for her father didn't want him hurt. Her brothers Max and Leo were awesome too. They instantly took to their new mother with little hesitation. I don't care what anyone else has said of this book, I really enjoyed it because it was a true romance. There was no show of domination from Tysen and Mary Rose was without fear of him because of it. Truly to me a great read.

MOLASSES IN WINTER:
SIMPLY PUT, WORDS FAIL ME AS I STRIVE TO PURVEY THE SENSE OF FLOW I GET FROM THIS BOOK; AKIND TO MOLASSES IN THE WINTER.A BIT MORE HEAT TO THE MIX WOULD HAVE WET MY PALATE FOR THIS MUDANE LITERARY EXPERIENC.
