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.

Even better than the first in the series! Laugh out loud funny in places, while tender in others. Great sexual tension and well written love scenes. Loved it!

This was the very first book I ever pre-ordered, because I was SUPER excited about if after the build-up between the couple in the first book. It did not disappoint! I do like road trip books set in modern day, but they have nothing on the carriage/hackney/mail coach road trips in historicals. I just love them so much, and this was no exception. Plus, the two leads was still superbly fabulous; the snappy banter and fierce attraction made for a great dynamic. Dare really just takes witty to a whole new level. Colin's comments and inner dialog were hilarious, and I really liked Min. Overall, a fantastic addition to one of my favorite historical series!
A week to be wicked faz muito mais sentido que esse título escolhido como tradução.
Colin é muito engraçado. E a semana em si foi muito dinâmica. Mas é aquela coisa... são tantas medidas extremas tomadas por uma paixão tão avassaladora que não sei, até que ponto, tudo isso não é nada saudável.
Enfim. Temos aí mais um romance pra lista.
Não tem muito o que falar destes livros, né? Eles são, literalmente, entretenimento. Não nos leva a uma reflexão fugaz da sociedade da época e da atual. Até que leva, vai. Só que é preciso muito do leitor para tirar isso da leitura (na verdade, acho que mais meu cérebro que quer remeter a Orgulho e Preconceito sempre e acaba fazendo isso).
