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.

Lady Evina Maclean has heard much about Rory Buchanan’s skill as a healer. What she hasn’t heard is how good the brawny Highlander looks bathing in a waterfall. But Evina can’t afford the distraction, for her ailing father urgently needs care. Only when she’s rendered Buchanan unconscious and dragged him back to her family’s castle does the truth emerge - it’s not Rory she’s kidnapped but his brother, Conran.

Lady Clarissa Crambray wanted a husband, but maybe not as much as her stepmother wanted one for her. Really! Doffing her spectacles might make a girl prettier, but how would she see? She'd already caused enough mayhem to earn a rather horrible nickname. Yet as all other suitors seemed to shy away in terror, there came a man to lead her to the dance floor. A dark, handsome, blur of a man.

Lady Dwyn Innes feels utterly out of place among the eligible women who’ve descended on Buchanan Keep, vying for the attention of the last unmarried brothers.

Yet a chance encounter with a stranger in the orchard awakens her to a new world of sensation and possibility....

Publisher's Summary
No one blends humor and sensuality like New York Times best-selling author Lynsay Sands in this captivating story of feuding nobles forced to marry - and destined to fall in love.
Love thy neighbor, 'tis said. A fine idea, except when the neighbor in question is Lord Holden. Lady Helen Tiernay has complained frequently about his treatment of his people. Too frequently perhaps, for the king intends to curb their constant bickering by ordering them to wed. Helen can't refuse a royal decree, but she'll do everything possible to drive away her devilishly attractive husband-to-be.
Holden has faced all manner of horrors on the battlefield. But marriage to "the tyrant of Tiernay" is still a worrying prospect - until he glimpses Helen in the flesh. What flesh it is - soft, lush, made for his touch. If she weren't so intent on thinking up devious ways to prevent consummating their bond, Helen would see how perfect they are together and that a marriage begun as enemies can turn to absolute pleasure.

Great story with plenty of humour. Nothing dragged. There was a good balance between romance and non romance plot. The resolution was neat and tidy. Strong heroine with an empathetic hero. Narrator was excellent. This book is why I love the author.

excellent narration
If you could sum up Bliss in three words, what would they be?
funny, well-read, great
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The story was set in 1173, but the dialogue was very modern. Especially when the healer asked a patient if she had " an allergic reaction". This term seems out of place 850 years ago. I doubt anyone knew about allergies back then.The heroine said that a tenant was "turfed out". that is slang that is used in modern speech, not in that time period. All of the words that were out of their timeframe, took me away from the story.
What does Justin Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He is an excellent narrator. He is very much like Nicholas Bolton, and even a little better in some aspects. I can't say enough about JH, but will be looking for all the books he narrates, as he is a new find!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh. Some of the circumstances went on a little too long, but not to the point of being frustrating.

The villain is never the obvious choice 👌
I have begun to really love Lynsay Sands’s books. This is my third book in a row and none of the stories resemble the others in any way. The only commonality is that the villain is never the obvious choice. The blending of comedy in her stories are a wonderful change from the romances I normally read. The first half of the book was hilarious with all the mischief the heroine got into to discourage the hero from taking her as a wife. Very enjoyable read.

Stupid Story
This book is completely ridiculous. The author tried so hard to make the book funny she beat amusing situations like a dead horse, creating a tiresome, annoying, repetitive, eye-rolling read/listen. By chapter 15 when the stupidity was still happening I started skipping whole chapters and realized I missed nothing. One of the worst books I've encountered.

Caught in a one-note rut
I use to be a huge Lynsay Sands fan. Then she wrote mostly vampire stories, which are boring after awhile. So, I was thrilled to see a historical novel from her. Her old ones made me laugh, which is a big plus in keeping romance novels interesting. This one was funny at first, but the same joke is repeated over and over and OVER until I just couldn't listen anymore. I frankly couldn't care less if these two people ever get together. Returning unfinished. Ugh. I think Lynsay is tired of writing, frankly.

HILARIOUS LOVABLE H/H
Bliss is an Outstanding story. When Lady Helen Tiernay is order by King Henry to marry her neighbor "The Hammer" Lord Heathe Holden she is determine to make him cry off. She hates him and believes he has done some horrible things to the tenants that live on his land.
This story is Hilarious, the characters are just loveable. Its fast paced excellent writing and dialog between the H/H. There is also someone trying to kill Lord Holden. I love Lady Helen, her aunt and there maids Hijinks. They come up with some of the funnies ways to make Heathe cry off. Soon Heathe finds out what they are up too. So does the Kings man Lord Templeton who has come to see the marriage takes place. He is also very funny. He has had enough of the delays of the marriage and consummation. So he sees to it LOL!!
Once the couple comes together they have a hot sensual marriage and grow in love with each other.
Truly a enjoyable story I couldn't put it down. The story leaves you with a smile on your face.
Narrator was very good.

A Struggle
This book was just ok to me.
Some parts were a little funny. The entire beginning was over the top silly, and not at all in a good way. Leading lady's efforts to turn him away, in the beginning, were mostly stupid.. like the garlic and stinkweed... including the attempts to get rid of it and how one herb magically instantly made it all better. King's Chaplain was ANNOYING... and narrarator's voice used for him was worse.
Poor character development.
If this had been edited better, a great story could maybe have been 8 hours instead of stupid fillers, rambling, and too much of this or that to make it over 10 hours. Leading man was asleep for much of it and nothing much accomplished while he was asleep, so that seemed unnecessary. Head injury, sleep, up too soon, injured again same way usually right away after getting up from previous injury, repeat, repeat. It was all just so choppy. I had to speed this up to 1.25x speed just to get it over with, though.
A few parts were a little better, like the ending. Good twist, though I actually expected the main part of it. Good epilogue.
I've definitely read better books by Lynsay Sands. Not sure if this was an earlier work or something. If it had been the first book of hers I'd ever read, I would likely not read another... Since I have read others prior, I will likely try her again.

Once again Ms. Lynsey Sands. . .
is in my top 15 favorite Authors! This was an very engaging book wth many mysteries & plot twists, however, though I adore an (extensive/ extension) epilogue, this one did not include an heir/heiress of Holden/Tierrany!
