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".

@HarperCollins you spent money on this book but you can’t pay your employees a livable wage??? That’s suspicious. Review will be posted after the HC employee strike ends with a fair contract.......more

Honestly---not my faves and it was a mess for the last two stories. Too rushed or didn't make sense. I think one of the stories actually had a man go like "I can't marry her because she doesn't come with a dowry" and only runs after her when her illegitimate father goes "you can have it if you truly......more

All I want This one was funny. Prudence is trying to get her father to stop gambling (not funny, that man needs help), but what is funny are her antics trying to get into his club and the chaos she creates. The owner has no idea what he is in for And then fall in love and her dad is saved 3 French Hens......more

Goodreads review by Harisa- EsquiredToRead on November 04, 2021

The first one was good! The second one was bad! (I hate the secret identity/swapped identity/mistaken identity thing. Hate it). The third one was okay! It was very short. Kinda wish it was longer. I like that they both had commitment issues for their two separate reasons though. I appreciate that hah......more
