About this ebook

Unexpected lovers find themselves together in Spindle Cove with A Week to be Wicked—the second book in Tessa Dare’s utterly delectable historical romance series. This Regency Era delight finds a restless British lord desperate to escape the quaint and too quiet small seaside resort he’s trapped in…and he gets much more than he expected when he eagerly agrees to escort a beautiful, brilliant, socially awkward lady scientist to Scotland. Concerning Tessa Dare and her irresistible romances, bestselling author Julia Quinn is spot on when she says, “Prepare to fall in love!” And anyone who loves the novels of Lisa Kleypas, Christina Dodd, and Liz Carlyle is going to adore having A Week to be Wicked.

Ratings and reviews

The delightful quirkiness and banter between the main protagonists disappears by the 4th or 5th chapter and the story goes on and on and on and even the lovemaking becomes same old, same old. There are 2 characters inserted into the story for no other reason than they might (though I hope they don't for two more ill matched colourless characters it would be hard to find) feature in a story of their own some day. To be perfectly honest, l skipped the last 3 chapters and skimned through to the end. Such a pity after a promising start.

I have read many of Tessa Dares books, as well as countless others (Julia Quinn Ella Quinn Sarah Maclean and nore) she and Helen Hardt are of the best! And this book is by far Tessa Dare's best work! I laughed out loud! The writing is clever and witty and thoroughly enjoyable! None of the painfully frustrating misunderstandings or self sacrificing "for the good of" etc etc.. just fun and sexy! Very sexy! The sex scenes are hot and thankfully more than a couple. This book is easily one of my favorites!

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are unique, with quirks that are easy to fall in love with. Excellent spicy scenes, too.
