The Deed [Mass Market Paperback]

Well, it was completely the opposite. They bought because of the cover, but everyone one of them came back and demanded to buy everything she had written. We had a lot of snarls, when they were told this was her first book, so we would have to wait until she wrote more.

And she has been writing SUPER books ever since!!

She gives you lovely, tender romances...but also, laughter so hard it brings tears to your eyes. Very few writers can move me to laugh out loud and Lynsay always does!! There is no writer like her today in the romance field, though I now see many trying to copy her. But her Emmaline and Amaury are gems. Her characters are engaging, charming and intelligent, but that does not mean they cannot find them in wildly humourous situations.

I shall not spoil the fun about "the deed"....but leave the sheer pleasure for you to discover!!

The thing that I remember the most about The Deed (I read it quite a while ago) was I felt as though I was running a marathon. My heart was pumping, my mind was racing and I couldn't catch my breath (because I was laughing so hard) - and this was all in the first chapter! The story is about Lady Emmaline Eberhart's desire to have her husband commit the "deed" and yes I am talking about SEX! She even pleads with the King to force him to do his "duty" to her. Unfortunately her husband dies and she is ordered to remarry. If her new husband does not perform the "deed" quickly she will lose her inheritance to her late husband's cousin... this particular scene is priceless and if you choose not to read this book at least read the first two chapters. I promise you that you will be rolling on the floor laughing!

Lady Emmaline Eberhart is determined not to remain an innocent and trust me "innocent" is too strong a word for her. She has beauty and grace and at times she semms a bit silly but you can't help to love her (probably because of her talent for making you laugh... how could you dislike someone who makes you smile so much) and the things she does to Amaury are hysterical. I laughed with this book from beginning to end and now that I think about it I can't help but smiling!

Amaury de Aneford is gorgeous (did you have a doubt?) who also happens to be a landless knight who is willing to marry solely for the purpose of obtaining a home - the most important thing to him. Little did he realize the wife he was gaining would steal his heart.

I will love this book for the laughs it brought me. If you are afraid to laugh in public do not read this book anywhere but behind closed doors! You won't be able to stop yourself... it is that funny!
