More About This Book

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Dare’s delightful second Spindle Cove Regency (after 2011’s A Night to Surrender) unites an unlikely pair as a wastrel viscount comes to the aid of a serious scientist. Minerva Highwood asks Colin Sandhurst, Lord Payne, to accompany her on a journey from spinster haven Spindle Cove to Edinburgh, where she plans on winning a prize for her presentation to the geological society. The journey will appear as an aborted elopement, but Minerva is willing to risk social stigma to achieve fame. She promises Colin her cash winnings, as the confirmed bachelor can’t access his trust fund until he marries. Minerva and Colin’s mishap-filled trip results in passion that neither expected. Colin reveals a much deeper character than his rakish exterior, and Minerva proves that her bluestocking shell hides a beautiful, shining soul. Lust, love, and witty repartee are perfectly balanced in this seamlessly plotted romance. Agent: Helen Breitwieser, Cornerstone Literary. (Apr.)

    This was a great story...couldn't put it down. loved how Minerva

    This was a great story...couldn't put it down.
    loved how Minerva was book smart but inexperienced in life...and Colin was wild and crazy. Total opposites. And they taught each other how to come out of their shells...the adventure to Scotland was fun to read and I couldn't wait to see what else they were going to get themselves into. The ending was a little predictable but that was ok. the love scenes were wonderful and even humorous which totally worked. Funny, Heartwarming, Sexy, & Adventurous - who could ask for more?!

    The latest in the Spindle Cove series this novel is one of the best romances I read in a while. Minerva Highwood is determined that Lord Payne does not marry her sister. In an attempt to deter the apparently pending proposal, she proposes they travel to Scotland to present her latest geological findings to the scientific community so that Payne can keep the prize money. They seem like an unlikely match, Payne a handsome womanizer, Minerva a bespectacled bluestocking with a love of rocks. Yet in the author’s hands it is believable that opposites attract. The dialogue is great and even better is Minerva’s character. You’ve got to love a heroine who embroiders extinct sea creatures onto her wedding trousseau.

    Definitely worth a read

    Tessa Dare slowly built these characters and their relationships so we could really see the growth - both of the characters and the relationship. It doesn't hurt that it was sprinkled liberally with plenty of humor and wit. Definitely worth a read.

    A Must Read!

    I loved this book! I loved the bespectacled scientific natured Minerva and the charming Lord Payne who calls her every female name beginning with M but her own, as they travel to the Royal Geological Society of Scotland in Edinburgh with her trunks and a plaster cast of "Francine's" foot. Along the way she learns to be more confident in herself and he deals with old demons. And of course they fall in love. I can't wait until her next book in the Spindle Cove series comes out. And while I'm waiting I'll certainly read the previous books in the series that I missed.

    The characters are the best part of this book. Very likeable and believable. Their affection for one another developed at a believable pace. There were some scenes that were very funny. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Can't wait for the next book in the series!

    Author manage to portray Minerva as innocent, passionate and thank goodness, not annoying. Colin's character compliments Minerva's serious personality. They are good together. And hot!

    This book was a disappointment. I like the first one so much! I was waiting for this one. I thought it a little boring. The author put a lot things in the middle of it that wasn't necessary and because of that I skipped some parts of it. The book lacked a true plot between the characters. I don't think I would like to read the last book in the serie.

    Absolutely Delightful

    A Week to Be Wicked was probably one of the most delightful books that I've read recently. While neither Minerva or Lord Payne are overly endearing in the first book "A Night to Surrender" we had a peek at what might be simmering beneath the lid. In "A Week to Be Wicked" we find out just how endearing these two wonderful characters can be!

    The writing style of Tessa Dare is crisp and all together believable (a feat unto itself when writing historical). The conversations, witty banter and pauses for interior dialogue in the minds of the characters is perfect.

    Wonderful characters, wonderful story line!

    Unexpectedly good!!!

    I thought I knew what this book would be like and I wasn't really interested in the story line. Boy was I wrong. Delightful reading!. I love the hero, he is so appealingly flawed. we are also lucky enough to know what he is thinking, which makes you love him all the more. The humor is a plus.
