The Deed

Written by Lynsay Sands

Narrated by Chloe Lynn

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.

She’s been writing since grade school and considers herself incredibly lucky to be able to make a career out of it.

Aye! This is a five star book. It was even a bit different from the other Sands novels I’ve been reading lately. I must confess that I’m obsessed with her stories. This was also funny, right from the start. No hidden passages in the castle though so great stuff. Even had a betrayal that was not quite a betrayal (no spoilers from me). Just read the book. I’m sure you will enjoy it

Unbelievably ignorant Emma and strong and brave but lightly slow-witted Amaury are a breath of fresh air among the nearly perfect yet tortured heroes and heroines of romance genre - and so is the plot, packed with action. It's a wonder how well the the romance worked squished between action and comedy. The latter, by the way, worked exceptionally well. In fact the book was so hilarious I forgave all historical inaccuracy without a second thought.

I read this book awhile ago, and quite enjoyed it. It is so well written and so enjoyable, that it's easy to disregard the innocent ignorance of our married leading lady, Lady Emmalene Eberhart. One would expect a woman living in those times, who has been allowed to learn the bow and arrow, and who has had the freedom of her father's castle, who has been running her husband's castle and even seeing to the training of his men in his absence, to be less ignorant of the ways between a man and a woman, but therein lies the crux of the problem.

How Lady Emmalene approaches becoming a good wife and mother, which is after all what any good wife should aspire to, makes for an interesting twist in the story. Throw in a feudal struggle for the property and dowry that come with her, and a ruggedly handsome, landless knight, and you have the makings for a wonderfully medieval who-dun-it/romance.

For sheer enjoyment and a love of romances set in medieval times, this book is a great read! If you're looking for more history and weight to your reading, tho, I'd give this a pass.
