adventurous funny lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

Hilarious and delightful.  My favorite Dare novel, so far.  I still have several more Spindle Cove books to read, but I don’t see how this can be topped.  Dare’s romances are always funny, usually with a couple of scenes that really tickle my funny bone.  A Week to be Wicked had me chuckling the whole way through.  Excellent banter and chemistry between the two MCs.  I’m glad I didn’t try to binge this series.  I have to be in the right mood for Dare’s particular style of storytelling, and it’s nice to have a pile of her unread books to turn to when that mood strikes.

Endnotes: Historical Romance, M/F, Regency era (1814), road trip, bluestocking/rake, enemies to lovers, canoodling in a carriage, opposites attract, 3rd-person dual POV, novel (102k words), ebook from Hoopla
Heat Index: 4/5
(5 full, moderately explicit sex scenes plus 1 brief (<1 page) sex scene. First full scene is at ~40%.)

Standard romance plot between a rake and a wallflower, but it's a fun little adventure and not too bodice-ripping.
