Book Reviews of The Wife Trap: A Novel
Book Review: Jeanette's self indulgent pity party is just too funny to resist.
Summary: 5 Stars
Jeanette Brantford did not want to get married and talked her twin sister, Violet, into taking her place as the bride for what should have been her own wedding. Once the deception was discovered, as punishment, Jeanette's parents banished her from England to stay with her elderly cousins in Ireland. She's just sure that she'll wither away to nothing. Even her maid has abandoned Jeanette in her time of need. Rather than accompany her into exile in the wilderness of Ireland, Jacobs sought employment elsewhere.
Irishman Darragh O'Brien is no commoner. He's the eleventh Earl of Mulholland. Instead of marrying for money he chose to labor as an architect in order to restore his family estate and support his mother and siblings. Of course, Jeanette isn't aware of his gentry status, and he fully intends to use that fact to learn is she has true feelings for him.
Jeanette thought that being exiled to Ireland was the worst thing that had ever happened to her - until she met Darragh. This baseborn man insults her, has the audacity to laugh at her, and horror of all horrors, he has absolutely no respect for her station in life. He also intrigues and excites her like no other man. Of course, her being the highborn lady that she is, Jeanette could never marry such a commoner. Indulging in a little harmless flirting, heated looks, and stolen kisses should satisfy her fascination with him. It is Darragh's own fault that her every waking thought is consumed with either him or returning to England. After all, it is his workmen that awaken her every morning at the unholy hour of six with their work on Jeanette's cousins' home. It may be perfectly acceptable to these uncouth people but Jeanette is a lady of refinement and must both maintain her normal schedule and get the proper amount of sleep. Politely asking Darragh to have his crew start work a little later in the day was just as politely refused. Darragh sees Jeanette for the selfish, self-indulgent woman she's always accepted as her right and he's having none of it. It's a battle of wills that will have him alternately wanting to strangle or kiss her.
THE WIFE TRAP is the second book in Tracy Anne Warren's back-to back trilogy which also consists of THE HUSBAND TRAP and THE WEDDING TRAP. In a nutshell, these books are simply delightful. Each one can be read separately but they do have interconnecting characters so reading all three books really does make it more fun. I couldn't help but smile my way through the pages of THE WIFE TRAP, Jeanette's self indulgent pity party is just too funny to resist. She's so convinced everything important in life is in England and revolves around her place in society that it's simply delightful to imagine Darragh not cave into her demands and not allow her to get away with her childish stunts.

Summary of The Wife Trap: A Novel
Your presence is requested at a wedding deception.After orchestrating a scandalous high-society ruse, Lady Jeannette Brantford is banished from her family's estate in England and sent to live with boring elderly cousins in the Irish countryside. But Jeannette's exile is surprisingly eventful. En route to her dreaded destination, she encounters Darragh O'Brien, a devilishly handsome architect who transforms Jeannette's punishment into a delicious whirlwind of wits, words, and undeniable passion.
Although no less than a duke could satisfy a lady of her status, Jeannette is unable to extinguish the burning desire she has for Darragh's smoldering looks and sizzling kisses. Little does she know, her dashing Irishman is no commoner. He's the eleventh Earl of Mulholland-and he's thoroughly enjoying the irresistible game of hard-to-get. But before he reveals his true identity, a little temptation and trickery are in order to teach his fair lady a lesson or two about love.
