EXCERPT:
..."Take
off your shoes."
His quietly issued
order chased away what she'd been about to
say. "I beg your pardon?"
"Your
shoes, take them off."
She looked
around. "We're in the middle of the woods,
why would I take off my shoes?"
A
smile sent surely from the devil himself
lifted Guy's lips and shimmered in his eyes.
"See how quick you catch on? Without your
shoes you won't be able to leave these woods
will you?"
She'd be neatly trapped if
she did anything so foolish. "I will do no
such thing."
He shrugged before
catching her unaware and pulled her up over
his shoulder, knocking the wind from her. "I
will do it for you then." Deftly removing
her shoes, he tossed them to the guards.
"You are dismissed."
She had no time
to catch her breath to issue a cursed
protest before he marched into the cottage
and kicked the door shut behind them.
"Guy, don't do this."
"I haven't
even begun." He dumped her onto the bed. She
landed on her back and when she moved to
rise, he towered over her. "Do not."
Something in his voice held her still. She
swallowed her anger and closed her eyes
against the deep, deadly tone.
Dear
Lord, what had she done to provoke this
attack from him? A whisper from the depth of
her soul supplied the answer. She'd
committed adultery and then lied to him. How
could she have expected anything from him
besides anger and disgust?
REVIEWS:
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. ~ Harriet Klausner
----------
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! ~ Viviane

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. ~ Medieval Book Reviews

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. ~ Faith V. Smith for Romantic
Times
