Product Description |
Dear Reader:
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.

Lyon's Gate |

I have to agree with the majority of the other reviews. This was awful. Hallie was a half-wit and dumb. For one thing, she couldn't figure out why Jason kept leaving the house. And there was our wonderful hero running down the road every time you turned a page to "visit" other women. I quit reading when it got to the wedding night. I couldn't enjoy a happy ending when I had no liking for the hero and heroine. I will still read books by Catherine Coulter but not in this series. |

So disappointing! |
|
I was so disappointed in this book. When I met Jason in The Sherbrooke Twins book I was really looking forward to reading his story but his character and that of Hallie are unbelievable weak. From the very beginning the story is weak and not the least bit believable for that time period or this! The way that the Sherbrookes respond to Hallie is also horrible and makes me not like the Sherbrookes anymore at all, they are all very shallow and selfish. I have no desire to even read The Wizard's Daughter when it is released. |

Better than I expected |
Lyon's Gate
by Catherine Coulter
reviewer: Pamela Ackerson (author of Home of the Braves trilogy)
This is another Sherbrooke novel. In my humble opinion, I must say it is much better than I expected. It was a clash of two stubborn hearts and minds written with a blend of ingredients that makes you understand why Ms. Coulter is one of the best in the industry. Top notch story, top notch writing. |

Simply Awful |
|
This was one of the worst books I ever attempted to read... I say attempted because I could not finish it. This book was simply not worth my time. Hallie was immature, self-centered, shrewish and selfish and we are supposed to believe that Jason found this attractive? I cannot believe Catherine Coulter wrote this trype. The situation of the two of them living in the same house during this time period was ridiculous. And this book was an RT award nominee !! What were those people thinking ! |

Should have sved my penny... |
|
I have been a Coulter fan for 20+ years and I eagerly await each new release. After reading all of the reviews I decided not to buy this book. However, I found it for a $.01 and couldn't turn down the deal. In retrospect, I should have saved my penny and thrown it into the fountain at the nearest mall. I would have made a wish that Catherine Coulter could still write books the way she used to. Don't waste your money even if it's only a penny.... |
