BEDDED BY HER LORD is a strong character
driven medieval romance that grips sub-genre from
start to finish. The story line is filled with angst
yet remains fast-paced as Guy and the audience learns
the shocking truth re his wife’s lover. Sub-genre
readers and historiographers will appreciate the sequel
to COMMANDED TO HIS BED, as the same event covered
in both historicals are seen somewhat differently
by two people who were there.

Denise Lynn's writing has matured indeed.
Bedded By His Lord is passionate, historically intriguing,
and plot-driven to hold the reader's attention, pleasure
and admiration to the very last page! Congratulations
again, Ms. Lynn - great medieval Harlequin fiction!

BEDDED BY HER LORD is an intense riveting
suspenseful read where the villain is truly sadistic
and the reader experiences first hand the inner battles
that warriors returning home might have experienced.
The brutality does not include gratuitous violence
or many graphic scenes, but rather, Denise Lynn does
an excellent job at portraying the psychological inward
drama within Guy at the same time as he stoically
approaches his wife. Denise Lynn emphasizes the importance
and extent of one's oath in her characterization of
both Guy and Elizabeth thereby creating a historical
romance that feels medieval in its examination of
the values of its characters. The concept of the oath
is examined here with a psychological depth that creates
a bridge between medieval literature and the modern
world of today's readers. In addition, Denise Lynn
extends the notion of the oath, viewing the medieval
concept in a both more intimate way between a man
and a woman but also for its social implications for
all those living in and supported by the keep. Denise
Lynn also did an excellent job with the theme of communication
and silence here, creating suspenseful emotional moments
between Guy and Elizabeth as they battle to save their
marriage and themselves from the wars and vicious
villain that rage around them. BEDDED BY HER LORD
is a wonderful, intense medieval historical romance
that delves into the psychological devastation caused
by war and brings darkness to the healing power of
love.

It is a testament to Denise Lynn's storytelling
abilities I found myself thoroughly enjoying her reunited
story, BEDDED BY HER LORD. Why? Well, I pretty much
detest reunited stories. I am a big believer in true
love, that whole soul mate thing, and I figure if
a couple is destined to be together they ought to
get it right the first time. So, maybe I am weird,
but that belief is my theory and I am sticking to
it.
Ms. Lynn really excels at three things—creating
yummy heroes, feisty heroines and liberally saturating
her stories with gobs of sexual tension. All three
of these elements thrive in the lively BEDDED BY HER
LORD.
Oh, Ms. Lynn also excels at spinning
an exciting, enticing tale. Guy and Elizabeth have
a bumpy road back to romance, but their story is told
with warmth and humor.
This twisty, curvy fast-paced romance
also boasts a crafty, sneaky mystery cranking up the
glued-to-the-pages factor another notch.
With a devilishly divine hero and an
equally appealing heroine, BEDDED BY HER LORD is wickedly
entertaining.
~ Debbie Jett
Lynn's tale has a strong plot, a heartbreaking
romance and an ending that leaves readers in doubt
until the last page. Her fans will be intrigued at
how she relates a battle scene from the first book
in the series from another character's viewpoint.
