I love this book. Colin is such a good fictional character, so much bette rthan in the first book, and so much better than his stupid cousin. I love him and his character arc. Minerva is awesome and her plan was amazing.
The book is full of tropes I love: fake dating, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, only one bed etc. I love how it all worked together and I really love the writing in this book.
The characters are much better than in the lrevious book in the series - Bram was just full of toxic masculinity, while Colin is a Rake but at least he doesn't say every other sentence how ‘manly' he is or needs to be, and how Minerva deserve sonly a ‘real man'. Colin is full of demons from his past, but he doesn't use it to be toxic like Bram, quite the opposite.
I loved Colin's relationship with Minerva, nad that he tried his very best not only to help her, but to deserve her and her love. 5/5
This was so charming and funny, it was exactly what I needed this weekend. I still prefer her more recent series a bit more but I do really enjoy the characters and relationships in this one.
I have read some pretty bad books. This is one of those books. What was with all the lying? I just couldnt get it.
A week to be wicked faz muito mais sentido que esse título escolhido como tradução.
Colin é muito engraçado. E a semana em si foi muito dinâmica. Mas é aquela coisa... são tantas medidas extremas tomadas por uma paixão tão avassaladora que não sei, até que ponto, tudo isso não é nada saudável.
Enfim. Temos aí mais um romance pra lista.
Não tem muito o que falar destes livros, né? Eles são, literalmente, entretenimento. Não nos leva a uma reflexão fugaz da sociedade da época e da atual. Até que leva, vai. Só que é preciso muito do leitor para tirar isso da leitura (na verdade, acho que mais meu cérebro que quer remeter a Orgulho e Preconceito sempre e acaba fazendo isso).
Even better than the first in the series! Laugh out loud funny in places, while tender in others. Great sexual tension and well written love scenes. Loved it!

This was the very first book I ever pre-ordered, because I was SUPER excited about if after the build-up between the couple in the first book. It did not disappoint! I do like road trip books set in modern day, but they have nothing on the carriage/hackney/mail coach road trips in historicals. I just love them so much, and this was no exception. Plus, the two leads was still superbly fabulous; the snappy banter and fierce attraction made for a great dynamic. Dare really just takes witty to a whole new level. Colin's comments and inner dialog were hilarious, and I really liked Min. Overall, a fantastic addition to one of my favorite historical series!
