Synopsis

“You can’t help but fall in love with Lynsay Sands!”
—Christina Dodd New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lynsay Sands trades in highland kilts for lush ballrooms and high-waisted gowns in The Countess, the first in a brand new, sexy, laugh-out-loud funny Regency romance series. Fans of Julie Garwood, Jill Barnett, and Teresa Medeiros will adore The Countess, and sympathize with her hilarious attempts to cover up the untimely demise of her despicable husband, even as the late earl’s twin brother sets her heart aflutter. The much adored creator of the popular Argeneau vampire family paranormal romance novels, the incomparable Lynsay is equally adept at historical romance—as this wonderful Regency romp so emphatically demonstrates!

About Lynsay Sands

I have always heard avid readers (or listeners, in the case of audio books) say that one of their happiest times is getting lost in a good book. But, it never occurred to me that the writers of books feel the same way. Ontario, Canada born author Lynsay Sands has just that feeling when she writes. She says it may be that writers are secret control freaks, getting to make "God-like" decisions such as who is good or evil, who lives or dies, who is successful or not in every story. One satisfaction is making sure the good guys win and the bad guys get their punishment....... that does not always happen in real life. Sands says writers are also dreamers who get to make a living doing their dreaming.

Sands favorite genre is writing about vampires. As a matter of fact, she would not mind being one. She imagined being one as she wrote her books, all of which have a touch of her good sense of humor. She promised the vampire community that she would not reveal too much or use real names. But then, as she got into her writing, she did not keep her promise, and found it humorous to go back on your word to a bunch of vampires.

Sands has been writing Paranormal Romance books for several years, but not since 1142, the year she claimed to be born, as a vampire. She likes to explain......."that's what books are; waking dreams or stories, tales to amuse, entertain and distract us from everyday life".

Goodreads review by Anne on June 07, 2022

3.5 stars Twins! And one of them is evil. This one has a wacky soap opera plot going for it, so if you're not on board with that sort of thing you're going to want to abandon ship quickly. The upside is, if you are into fucknut crazy stories, then this has all the things. The downside for me personally......more

I really enjoyed my first Lynsay Sands book! The Madison sisters were charming and hilarious in their pursuits to help each other and their father. I’m glad I didn’t have to deal with Dickie for very long because he was exactly that. The story starts with Christiana being emotionally and mentally man......more

Goodreads review by Samantha on October 29, 2022

⭐⭐⭐ 3 stars. This was a rather charming and entertaining read. With a farcical comedy feel to it.( Like it is intended to be I think) The villain/villains was so over the top and the situations were so ridiculous but it was funny and the main characters had good chemistry. But it was also a little bit si......more

Goodreads review by Laurie on November 16, 2010

Fascinating, touching and wickedly sexy. I just love Lynsay Sands hot writing style. I found a mystery that had me stumped. An adventure that had me on the edge of my seat, the closing had me wanting more. If you’re an historical romance reader please add this one to your list to try, especially if......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on December 24, 2010

The Countess is not only funny or intriguing, but it is sinfully sexy. When Christiana’s mean, cruel husband Dicky Fairgrave drops suddenly dead of what they assume are natural causes, she and her sisters decide to put him on ice (literally) and go on as if life hasn’t changed except for the better.......more
