A wonderful story about the power of love to transform

I read the negative reviews of this book, all of which said they just couldn’t like the heroine. I think it’s sad that they missed the beauty of a story that sees to the heart of a person, past their thorns, and shows the power love has to reveal the best in us because live is capable of seeing past our walls and our weaknesses to see our authentic selfs. The Hero of the story is a good strong man who can love and appreciate the heroine because he sees the women she is and will be when she sheds the outward she’ll she’s been taught to wear.

Underwhelmed

I really enjoyed book 1 and could not put it down. I also really liked book 3. So I thought this one would be right up my alley. Not so much, I hated the main character, she was selfish and self absorbed and I found it hard to believe that anyone would find the character attractive. After Jeannette's horrible behavior in book 1, the author was going to have a hard time redeeming her. Tracy Anne Warren tried but I think she came up short. Still, the book is well written and entertaining at times. I'm not saying pass, especially since the other books in the series are so good, but don't start with this one and don't let this one put you off book 3.

Spoiled Brat

I found it difficult to listen to the intolerably spoiled brat, Jeanette and her antics. I rolled my eyes for half of the book, yet continued listening in hopes that she'd have a break through and be redeemed. I won't give spoilers, but if you harbor the same hope, just know that you'll need to be VERY patient.

loved it!

I loved how it took up right where book 1 left off. They story pleasing and kept me interested. Bianca Amato's voice is perfect!

Not my favorite of the series

Main character isn’t likable and neither is the love interest. Miscommunication trope is not my favorite. Well written banter and great narrator. Just had to force myself to continue listening because I’m interested in the next book.

Excellent

I am truly enjoying this series. The narrator is perfect. I normally do not listen to romance, however, this series pulls me in to a point I can not stop listening.

Great book despite the bad reviews.

What did you love best about The Wife Trap?

I like that it made me laugh and almost cry as well.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Wife Trap?

When the leading lady pushes the man in to the pond. lol made me laugh so hard.

What does Bianca Amato bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She is great the only problem i have is tht she makes the men sound old and kinda grumpy.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did.

Any additional comments?

This is a long book but if it was shorter I would think you would miss a lot of the fun it has to offer.

Delicious Deceit with a hint of gothic romance

This book made me laugh out loud. The deceit between Darrow and Lady Jeanette was fire. She has met her match! Be prepared for a roller coaster at the end.

Kept me enthralled

I LOVED this book. Narration was perfect. Loved the Irish accent. Loved the the story!!

Best written series ever!

This series is so well written and narrated I will forever recommend it to any romance lover! This is absolutely the best part of me having the romance package. I would highly recommend ready the entire series and getting lost in this world filled with scandal, fiery women befitting their time and a narration that should undoubtedly be Grammy nominated!!
