Wonderful ... just wonderful

This is just a charming listening ... I so enjoyed the humor and the spontaneous laughter experienced while listening to this story.

Delightfully funny and romantic...and sexy:)

I enjoyed the first of this trilogy but I knew I wouild love the second book and I do! I love Darrow, who wouldn't?! I just hope this last book will be interesting as the main character is a wallflower at best. But I'm going to give it a try. I really like this author because she inserts the right amount of story, romance and hotness!

Delightful, and the narrator is really amazing

I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud while reading a book like that ..
This book will follow the twin sister of Viola from the first book Jeannette, after the scandal she made last season her parents decides to exile her to her cousins house in Ireland where she will meet a rugged man who is an architect named Darragh O'Brien, he is handsome and witty and he likes to banter with her .. too bad he can't provide her the life she wants .. or so she thought
I have to say, as a first series I read in Historical Regency this author knows how to write her stuff, she keeps the story interesting and I couldn't help but to care about the characters and what will happen to them although initially I didn't like either of them .. but they grew on me and their banter was so organic and their relationship was nice and I felt they are really suitable for each other
I enjoyed my time with this one and I'm kind of excited to see Kit's story in the third book

coulda been betta

this is the 2nd twin story - loved the irish earl - but she was such a little bratty girl that her development into a more mature women was slow in coming. over all a good listen but some of the antics were far fetched and not completely credible. the narrator - fantastic.

A fun entertaining read

I laughed outright several times during my reading of this book. It was well narrated and written, although I didn’t care for the sexuality and descriptions thereof. That being said, I skipped those parts and found myself enjoying this book from beginning to end.

Ignore Negative Reviews!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Wife Trap to be better than the print version?

Audio - Bianca is an excellent narrator.

What other book might you compare The Wife Trap to and why?

The Husband Trap of course and then several of Jane Austen books. I like stories with somewhat relatable characters...in spirit and time and place.

What about Bianca Amato’s performance did you like?

Her ability to capture emotions - it drew me into this story as well.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Gosh...that's a tough question. Be Careful What You Wish For

Any additional comments?

I started not to listen based on comments negative comments and started to go to Book 3...so glad I read Book 2 based on one positive review. Now I'm headed to Book 3

Taming of the Shrew

This is a great adaptation of the classic Shakespeare play Taming of the Shrew. It has humor, sensitivity, and romance…all the best ingredients for a romance. The narrator does a good job with the Irish lilt, her voice is soothing and easy to listen to. I’ve listened to the whole series and will again and again.

Spoiled Jeannette

I do not feel bad for Jeannette what so ever. She is so God awfully spoiled that its hard to like or feel for the character. Earl Darragh O'Brien is way too good for her and I honestly would have been urghing him to find someone else to be his wife. So Jeannette is shipped off to Ireland after her deception was revealed in Husband Trap out of shame from her family. Jeannette is staying with much older cousins in the Irish countryside, which is completely borning for her royal highness who is used to being the belle of the ball in London society. Jeannette is constantly looking her nose down on people and throwing her title around like Ireland should be so lucky to have her presence of being a true English born lady. Jeannette is attracted to an architect who is rebuilding a wing of her cousin's house. They have few run in with stolen kisses and what not but he could never be a suitable husband for Jeannette because of his lack of title. One night while Jeannette is hosting a ball at her cousins house she goes too far with O'Brien and were caught red handed by all of her male relatives, That was a funny scene. Jeannette being publicly compromised she has no choice but to wed Darragh O'Brien, oh boy does she throw a fit being force to marry an untitled man, but the jokes on her cause he turns out to be an Earl of Mullholand which makes Jeannette a Countess (not like she deserves it). O'Brien teaches Jeannette a lesson by letting her believe that she is married to a poor man and they live in a small cottage where Jeannette is forced to cook, clean and sew for several months.

The book have a good story line I just can't feel for Jeannette, I just want to constantly smack her. I did like Husband Trap and Wedding Trap better because they had more of a likeable main character. But you must tread through this book to get through the next. Like I said it is not a bad book or story line, you are just going to hate the main character.

Loved It!

I love stories were the lovers start off at war with each other... this was humerous and romantic... oh, not to forget the love scenes were steamy!

Jeanette Learns Her Lesson

What did you love best about The Wife Trap?

I loved the way Jeanette and Darragh sparred with each other in their game of wills.

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

When Jeanette drew a less than flattering picture of Darragh.

What about Bianca Amato’s performance did you like?

The way she could differentiate each of the voices. I love her English accent.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Does she or doesn't she? Only her husband knows for sure.
