Synopsis

Before her Argeneau vampire family paranormal romance novels made her a New York Times bestselling superstar, Lynsay Sands did The Deed. Lynsay’s witty, sexy, utterly fantastic debut romance transports the listener back to Medieval England to witness the outrageous trials and temptations of a good wife whose husband unfortunately dies before he can do…The Deed. The lady, left shockingly unprepared, finds herself promised to a handsome, landless knight, and misunderstandings, missteps, and (of course) passion ensue. The first of her more than thirty historical romance novels and anthologies known for their wonderfully humorous edge, The Deed is as delightful treat for confirmed Sands fans, as well as for listeners who appreciate the early novels of Julie Garwood.

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".

This book just reminded me of how much I love Lynsay Sands' HR books. Her new releases have been touch-and-go for me nowadays. But this. The humour. The banter. The wholesome side characters. With a side of assassination attempts. These are what perfect fluffy romcom HR that she always deliver. There......more

This book is a firm favourite of mine that I’ve read many times. It always makes me chuckle and has such a vein of humour and ridiculous about it that gets to me every time. I love that it doesn’t take itself to seriously and that it’s such an easy enjoyable read. Genre-wise it’s a historical romance s......more

⭐💫 1½ star. A cringy read. The heroine is too naive/innocent and also very foolish. (Innocence and stupidity are two very different things.) This was like reading some kind of twisted version of Dumb and Dumber but in a historical romance setting. There were some funny moments…. But most of the story and......more
