A Week to Be Wicked

Spindle Cove, Book 2

By: Tessa Dare

Narrated by: Carolyn Morris

When a devilish lord and a bluestocking set off on the road to ruin...time is not on their side.

Minerva Highwood, one of Spindle Cove's confirmed spinsters, needs to be in Scotland. Colin Sandhurst, Lord Payne, a rake of the first order, needs to be...anywhere but Spindle Cove. These unlikely partners have one week: to fake an elopement to convince family and friends they're in love to outrun armed robbers to survive their worst nightmares to travel four hundred miles without killing each other. All while sharing a very small carriage by day and an even smaller bed by night.

What they don't have time for is their growing attraction. Much less wild passion. And heaven forbid they spend precious hours baring their hearts and souls. Suddenly one week seems like exactly enough time to find a world of trouble. And maybe…just maybe…everlasting love.

Very enjoyable book!

This book was very entertaining! I loved the funny situations that this couple find themselves in. Both Minerva and Colin and wonderful characters. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Deliciously wicked

Full of adventure fun and just enough history. Great character development, enjoyed Colin and Minerva they played off of each other so well. Their week long adventure was enticing and even gave me the occasional chuckle, not to mention the delicious romantic scenes

A gem of this genre

It’s a simple story, really. But the dialogue is so fun. Which is my favorite part in a good romance, along with a story that makes sense and isn’t contrived.
The personal growth of both hero and heroine, as individuals and as a couple. is logical and endearing and quite moving at times. There are motifs through the book that are perfect and well placed. I had avoided this one for some reason. The introverted bluestocking thing sometimes is a put-off for me, but it’s also well-done, not overly done at all, and makes sense. There’s a lot of surprisingly good word craft and creativity that adds real color and unique personalities to the main characters.
Yet the book is light and not heavy. I recommend highly.

Loved!!!!!

I loved everything about this book! The witty banter, crazy situations one after another and of course the romance! I was wishing it would never end🥰

Loved it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was very amusing at times so funny I found myself laughing out loud quite often. I really loved the fact that she was like an ugly duckling who blossomed into a swan and got the handsome prince. Very easy listening with a terrific narrator I highly recommend

Wonderful, a victory for audiobooks!!

I loved everything about this audiobook. This story was sweet, very amusing and touching romantic. This was also s fun adventure. Just my second by Tessa Dare but wow so good.

4 stars for the story + 1 huge star for a brilliant narrator. Highly recommended to all HR lovers.

If you just will by one single audiobook this year why not choose this little masterpiece?

A true fairytale

This book was phenomenal! I loved this story so very much. If you love adventure, action, hot steamy romance, and comedy then this audiobook is for you.I will be listening to this audiobook again and again.

Predictable but enjoyable.

The dialog during some of the spicier bits sounds stilted and is swimming in cheese. The storyline is predictable but that could be said about a great many other romance novels. Ultimately, it's passable. I'll probably even listen to it again

Perfection

Love love love this book! Solidified Tessa Dare as my favorite author! Worth the credit!

Creative writing, delightful characters

Carolyn Morris did an outstanding job in narrating this book....this series. She brought Tessa Dare's delightful characters to life...made them real. She added humor and added perfect inflection. This book is as good as it gets in a historical romance. Congratulations to Tessa & Carolyn....another winner.
