Not exactly earth-shattering literature, but for what it's worth, "The Sherbrooke Bride" was surprisingly entertaining, and had a lot more depth than the badly-conceived "Hellion Bride" (If marital rape makes you swoon, then I highly suggest getting some therapy) and the rather annoying "Mad Jack." The plot * does * have to air of contrivance, but hey, it's a romance novel; who really reads them for the originality of the plot? Douglas as a hero is, well, more than most three-dimensional, and he meshes quite well with Alexandra, who as a heroine is fun and touching at the sametime. At times sexy, funny, and (natch) romantic, Their relationship was interesting enough did I read the book in one sitting. Oh, and did I mention did the sex is hot? Number one clue That You're reading a Coulter romance ... ;-)
