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.

Is the series on the Sherbrooks over?

In this "last" novel on the Sherbrooke siblings, Catherine Coulter does a wonderful job on relating the romance between the "priggish" vicar, Tysen, and the scottish lass, Mary Rose. As always, Coulter's writing is elegant and vivid. But to my utter suprise, the love story is sweet and humbling. In my opinion, which is one of many, I found this story to be one of Coulter's best; maybe not in the sense of excitement and intrigue by the reader. Coulter takes a secondary character, whom I'm sure most thought would never be featured in a book all of his own, and breathed new life and reason into him. It was an insightful read and a joy to me to know that any character I might run across in the pages of one of her books, may one day have a story all of their own! But is this the end of Sherbrookes? In one of the chapters where Ryder is featured, you will notice a musing he has about his daughter and her feelings of Oliver...or Jeremy...he wonders? Hummm....another great Sherbrooke tale in the making. I sure hope so. The only thing I feel is missing from this story is the appearance of the horrid Sherbrooke mother. Where is she? I would like to know how Coulter would have her feel about the "new" Tysen. That would have been a hoot. But all in all, it was a great read! Please don't let the many reviews placed here sway you. If you are a Coulter fan, this is a must read!

great story

I really loved this book. The story was sensitive and really different from the other "Bride" books. Tysen is a wonderful character. He is moral, kind and wants to live his life how God would want him to. I have and I found Tysen's struggle believable. Don't get me wrong, this is a love story, but not your run of the mill steamy, sexy kind(I love those kind of books too). The heroine,Mary Rose is great. She is a real person who responds to situations like real people do. I think C.C.has a hit with this novel. It is perhaps my favorite of the "Brides".

A Brilliant Addition to the Bride series

I always read the other reviews before posting my own and after reading some of the reviews I thought I must have been reading a differant book. In my opinion this book was brilliant and definitely the best of the Bride series. I will not go into the storyline because this has been done at length by other reviewers. All I can say is that I thought Tysen a wonderful hero, it was great to see his character change as he became enchanted with Mary Rose. For me Mary Rose was the perfect heroine, not in the least insipid as has been suggested and her love for Tysen just flowed through the pages of this beautifully written book. Lighthearted yes, not terribly complicated yes, an easy read yes, but this did not detract from my enjoyment of the book in the least. And Meggie, what to say about Meggie, she was an absolute joy. For me she made a good book into a great one. Her dialogue was brilliant a tribute to Ms Coulter's penmanship. I dont always like children in books because the authors have a tendency to make them seem either too old or too young for their years. But I think Catherine got it exactly right. The ending had me crying buckets, I think it was a glorious book. I can only hope that Catherine relents and gives us another Bride story. Meggie at eighteen would make a wonderful heroine, if only Catherine could find a hero good enough for her.Thanks for a wonderful book
