This was actually the first Sherbrooke Brides book that I read. My mother saw it one day and picked it up for me on a whim and I am quite thankful of that seeing as I loved this book. After reading I went and bought every other Sherbooke book that I could get my hands on and plowed through them. I would suggest starting from the beginning of the series to fully understand every reference made to past events. After reading the others I went and re-read this one in the appropriate order and enjoyed it even more. The story kept my interest the whole time and if you are interested in horses you will also enjoy the parts about the horses and the horse farm like I did. There are plenty of twins, good looking people, romance, fighting, horses, and cat racing in this book!
Jason Sherbrooke had fled to America to try and forget his pain and guilt over Judith McCrae's murderous betrayal. After five years of healing, he realizes it is time to go home to England, to return to his family. Ready to buy Lyon's Gate and raise horses, Jason didn't expect to have competition from Hallie Carrick, a horse-mad young woman with similar plans.
The owner, beset on both sides, comes up with a unique solution that makes Jason and Hallie partners. Each one is determined to never marry, but lust and love may be another matter entirely.
A more direct sequel to The Sherbrooke Twins, we see how Jason has blamed himself for everything that happened, refusing to move past the tragedy. Love does win out, but it takes a while to do so.

Both the hero and the heroine are minor characters from books in other series. Jason Sherbrooke (Alexandra and Douglas' son (Sherbrooke Bride) and James' twin (Sherbrooke Twins)) has finally returned from his self-imposed exile in America where he fled after the woman he loved try to kill his father, wounding Jason instead. His family rejoices when Jason buys Lyon's Gate farm, intending to make it into a stud. The only problem? Hallie Carrick (Night Storm) has also paid money for Lyon's Gate and she intends to keep it.
Hallie is not impressed by Jason's looks (her father is also incredibly handsome) or his sob story (she thinks he should get over it). She is definitely not impressed by his family's machinations in trying to get her to leave the land she rightfully purchased. The two eventually strike up an agreement to run the farm together. Of course, two attractive people who have sparks between them... it's not all anger in the air. Not even jealous ex-lovers or proper society can come between them when the two work together to make the farm a success.

i was mostly interested in reading about a grown up hallie carrick and this was such a disappointment. if you're going to change nearly every aspect of their character, why not just invent a new one? I feel like they really did hallie dirty, turned her into an impulsive idiot. and the idea of them being unmarried but sharing a house is so ludicrous but I was so mad about hallie I let that slide
