New York Times best-selling author Tracy Anne Warren is among the world’s most popular Regency romance novelists. She sweeps listeners to the Irish countryside for this saucy tale of deception.

Ladies, Prepare to fall in love with and Earl!

Warning: You will not be able to put this book down. I found myself listening to it much too late into the night. I know some of the other reviewers were disappointed by this book, but I can honestly say I wasn't. If you started with book 1, you're going to be surprised to see that Lady Jeannette does, in fact, have a heart. I thought the author did a good job of explaining her behavior in the previous novel. But, the person you're really rooting for in this book is Darragh O’Brien. He has just the right mix of bad boy attitude and good guy behavior. I also like that this book doesn't end with the oft-employed "they got married and lived happily ever after" ending. Instead, she chose to show some of the problems they had after the marriage.

Like any good historical romance novel, Tracy Ann Warren's writing style brought you back in time without beating you over the head with mundane, useless descriptions of attire and buildings. Instead, she gives you just enough to be able to envision the world she describes. And Bianca Amato continues to do an excellent job as narrator.

Ended up liking Jeanette in the end, surprisingly

I really enjoyed the first book and had been looking forward to this one despite me dislike for Jeanette’s character. However, in the verrrrrry end I ended up changing my mind about her. Stick it out!

Such a Troubling Couple!!

I could not stop listening because they were both so irritating yet amusing.
Funny and annoying with plenty of surprises!

5 star story, 5 star narration, = Must read.

The narration of this story elevates the book to the top. voices. a cents all seem natural and fluid
no pauses, slowing voice for different characters. it as if you were hearing each character's voice also getting a perk of their character. a warm, inviting story weaving humor into a beautiful and funny love story. his it hot? Yes. Is it funny yes? fo you want to see a very highly bred 'lady's who thinks she is elevated above all common people learn to cook, sew, and live in a small rural cottage in Ireland. it's a long way from London's ballrooms and the town. a must read for everyone. I find myself smiling just remembering the humor in this book.

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.

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!!

One of the best books I have ever read

I absolutely LOVED this book. Wonderful character development, amazing story, and a heart warming love story. DO NOT miss getting this book.
