Welcome to Spindle Cove, where the ladies with delicate constitutions come for the sea air, and men in their prime are..nowhere to be found. Or are they? Spindle Cove is the destination of choice for certain types of well-bred young ladies: The painfully shy, young wives disenchanted with matrimony, and young girls too enchanted with the wrong men; it is a haven for those who live there. Victor Bramwell, the new Earl of Rycliff, knows he doesn't belong here.

Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury's to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne'er-do-wells by night. Now there's a new item on the list. He needs an heir - which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar's daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she'll do.

It's different from the book - but not abridged

Publisher's Summary
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 to convince family and friends they're in love to outrun armed robbers to survive their worst nightmares to 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…everlasting love.

Humorous, Romantic, Delightful
I admit that I too fell in love with Lord Colin Payne and the story of his escapades with the bookish Minerva Highwood, who seems likely to become one of Spindle Cove's future spinsters. Minerva talks Lord Payne into escorting her in a fake elopement to Scotland, where she hopes to present her paper on fossils at the Geological Society in Edinburgh. Before he agrees, Colin sets several conditions on his participation, all of which Minerva knows are certain "ruin" her socially. But she is willing to sacrifice all to further her academic career. The journey becomes a comedy of errors of sorts where Colin's knack for storytelling creates unexpected surprises and brings Minerva out of her shell in astonishing ways. Minerva learns about his tragic past and brings Colin out of his "shell" as she comes to understand his secrets and what he needs to get beyond them. Lots of laughs as well as a sexy and touching romance.

Funny, sweet, sexy - sums up both Colin & the book
I generally don't like "road" books, but I'll make an exception for this one. Colin and Minerva are a delightful couple, and Colin is one of the funniest heroes since Lisa Kleypas's Leo in Married By Morning.
This variation on the rake-meets-bluestocking-spinster is hilarious, touching, and hot, and Carolyn Morris's narration is excellent.

Great listen Charmingly sexy. Minerva made me laugh
Where does A Week to Be Wicked rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A very high 9
What other book might you compare A Week to Be Wicked to and why?
Good questions. Can't compare the storyline really.
Have you listened to any of Carolyn Morris’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I like her.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No spoilers lol but Minerva's sacrifices
Any additional comments?
I loved this book.. usually second parts of a series are boring but this one was funny charming and kept me wondering what next.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was very amusing at times so funny I found myself laughing out loud quite often. I really loved the fact that she was like an ugly duckling who blossomed into a swan and got the handsome prince. Very easy listening with a terrific narrator I highly recommend

I loved everything about this audiobook. This story was sweet, very amusing and touching romantic. This was also s fun adventure. Just my second by Tessa Dare but wow so good.
4 stars for the story + 1 huge star for a brilliant narrator. Highly recommended to all HR lovers.

A fun and entertaining historical romance
This book is just as good on audio as it is in print. I read the book last year and enjoyed the humor and characterizations. Carolyn Morris was a new to me narrator and I enjoyed her way of telling the story. I think this book is a really fun, light weight, historical romance that offers hours of entertainment.
This quote from close to the end of the book just cracked me up and its a good example of the dry and sarcastic humor throughout the book. Minerva and Colin have finally arrived at the Geological society symposium in Edinburgh but are having trouble getting past the doorman because woman are not allowed:
“But, my lord, unmarried women cannot attend as guests. It’s not proper.”
“For the love of ammonites, man! That’s just stupid. Why on earth would the Society need to protect unmarried women from bone-dry lectures regarding soil composition? Do your members find themselves whipped into some sort of dusty frenzy, from which no delicate lass would be safe?”
Mr. Barrington tugged on his coat. “Sometimes debate does get heated.”

One of the best HR books I've read to date!!!!
I have now read all books in the series except one and as much as I've liked all, this book was just something else. I love romance even when a bit cheesy and in so many HR books the love develops quickly but I guess that was what times demanded. This book was such a breath of fresh air that it took me completely by surprise. One of the few books I have EVER read where the hero is not at all interested in the heroine and the events in their journey and her character is what binds him to her and gives way for TRUE romance, passion and love and not those purely based on looks. Tessa Dare is also a very clever writer so her stories have many moments of true brilliance and even deep resonating laughter. This book was a truly wonderful find.

A fun listen
Probably one of the best historical romance type books I’ve listened to. I often find the genre a bit dull, but this book had plenty of fun and a building romance.

another hugely enjoyable read
I have read three Tessa Dare books so far, and while this one wasn't my favorite I still hugely enjoyed it. I will definitely be reading more!

Very funny...
This is my second time around on this book. I love the series and I found this book even funnier than the first. Can't wait to 'reread' the other books again. It's a pity that not all of the series is available on audio yet. I look forward to that day.
