This was one of the first HR books I read and I remember loving it. I was not as big a fan of the other books in this series.
I read this for the second time and it did not disappoint. Colin is such a great character. One of my favorite books by Tessa Dare.


Susan, I'm glad this book is still a winner for you!
Join us in reading this HR that features the theme Overlooked Heroine!
A Week to be Wicked, by Tessa Dare
Synopsis:
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
• convince family and friends they're in "love"
• outrun armed robbers
• survive their worst nightmares
• 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... love.
Happy reading!
