Synopsis

No one blends humor and sensuality like New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands in this captivating story of feuding nobles forced to marry…and destined to fall in love.Love thy neighbor, ’tis said. A fine idea, except when the neighbor in question is Lord Holden. Lady Helen Tiernay has complained frequently about his treatment of his people. Too frequently perhaps, for the king intends to curb their constant bickering by ordering them to wed. Helen can’t refuse a royal decree, but she’ll do everything possible to drive away her devilishly attractive husband-to-be.Holden has faced all manner of horrors on the battlefield. But marriage to “the tyrant of Tiernay” is still a worrying prospect—until he glimpses Helen in the flesh. What flesh it is…soft, lush, made for his touch. If she weren’t so intent on thinking up devious ways to prevent consummating their bond, Helen would see how perfect they are together, and that a marriage begun as enemies can turn to absolute pleasure.

About Lynsay Sands

I have always heard avid readers (or listeners, in the case of audio books) say that one of their happiest times is getting lost in a good book. But, it never occurred to me that the writers of books feel the same way. Ontario, Canada born author Lynsay Sands has just that feeling when she writes. She says it may be that writers are secret control freaks, getting to make "God-like" decisions such as who is good or evil, who lives or dies, who is successful or not in every story. One satisfaction is making sure the good guys win and the bad guys get their punishment....... that does not always happen in real life. Sands says writers are also dreamers who get to make a living doing their dreaming.

Sands favorite genre is writing about vampires. As a matter of fact, she would not mind being one. She imagined being one as she wrote her books, all of which have a touch of her good sense of humor. She promised the vampire community that she would not reveal too much or use real names. But then, as she got into her writing, she did not keep her promise, and found it humorous to go back on your word to a bunch of vampires.

Sands has been writing Paranormal Romance books for several years, but not since 1142, the year she claimed to be born, as a vampire. She likes to explain......."that's what books are; waking dreams or stories, tales to amuse, entertain and distract us from everyday life".

Goodreads review by Anne on January 30, 2022

2022 This time around I listened to the audiobook version (very well done, btw) stone-cold sober whilst painting my bathroom. And while it was still a silly-fun book, it wasn't quite as funny as it was with oceans of booze running through my veins. However, I've learned from experience that Alchohol......more

Goodreads review by Jilly on March 02, 2018

You were good but you were on too long... Yeah, the book was funny... at first. But, it was like a joke that is run to the ground until nobody is laughing anymore. So, we have a Lord and Lady who are bickering, via old timey letters, to the king. His aide has the great idea to make them marry each othe......more

Goodreads review by Soft Nectarine ~ on August 08, 2024

DNF @ 60% Great premise but the book is a victim of its time! Lady Helen and Lord Holden are neighbors at war ⚔️ That is until the King orders them to marry and they both protest, of course. To avoid marriage Helen embarks on a ‘How to Lose a Fiancé in 10 Days’ campaign but they are both toxic. THE W......more

Goodreads review by ❁ lilyreadsromance on August 01, 2021

Now, this is light and fluffy with a few attempted murders in between. The whole hijinks initially with the smells, omg god me rolling so hard. But then, it changed to sweet and hot. Like, I forgot how smutty these historicals could be sometimes. All in all, love it! Perfect as a light read and a litt......more

Goodreads review by Sara Reads (mostly) Romance on April 18, 2022

I am re-reading this and all I can say is that the people who got annoyed at this book just took it too seriously. maybe i just have a bad sense of humor because I find a lot of silly things funny but once again this book had me in TEARS the first 50% hahaha. The key is just don't take it seriously,......more
