Denise Lynn
Intense

psychological dynamics of the characters. The unfolding conflicts are

and emotional read.
Lord Guy of Hartford
returns home after seven years of being held captive by the sadistic
and evil Aryseeth. His past tribulations and battle scars have changed
him so much that even his men do not recognize him. Although outsiders
have been kept away to hide his wife Elizabeth's condition from
outsiders, the secret can no longer be hidden when Guy refuses to take
no for an answer and enters her bedchamber. Some things a woman's body
cannot hide. Ashamed of not keeping her oath, Elizabeth lies to Guy.
Elizabeth is not the only one with secrets of his activities during
their seven years apart. Together can the two find a way to end the
lies and secrets and make their way back to the love that once united
them? Can Guy allow Elizabeth to see the inner ravages of his soul?
Will Elizabeth be able to wage a battle for for his very soul. When
danger menaces, can the two of them battle together as well as against
each other?
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.
