Book Reviews of Lyon's Gate (Bride Series)
Book Review: "The Sherbrooke Twins" with a new title and new book cover
Summary: 1 Stars
Having read the Sherbrooke Twins, I was curious to read "Jason's story". As a few other reviewers have mentioned, the author spends way too much time reminding us how beautiful the men are (okay - we get it). Jason's story is not original. Jason in Lyon's Gate could have been James just as easily (I get that they are twins, but Jason ought to have a few characteristics that make him different from his brother), and the love interest, Hallie is a retarded version of Corrie from The Sherbrooke Twins. Corrie was amusing. Hallie is a half-wit. I understand that the heroines of these books are innocent and all, but there's innocent and then there's just stupid. Corrie was innocent. Hallie is stupid. The way the Hallie character was written, I had difficulty understanding just why the Jason Sherbrooke character would be attracted to her at all.
The situation that throws the two characters together is too contrived. I don't care how prominent the Sherbrooke family is suppposed to be. The idea of an unmarried young woman living with a man who is not her relative in the time period this story takes place in is absurd. The story just keeps falling apart from there on. The scene in this book that sets up the reason why Hallie and Jason "have to get married" is just ridiculous and embarassingly bad.
The Sherbrooke Twins was certainly not great literature, but it was a quick and entertaining read. Lyon's Gate, is just a diluted version of The Sherbrooks Twins, which is too bad. I was hoping for a better story.
