I FUCKING LOVED this one. I could not stop talking about it or thinking about it. It's definitely going to be one of my top favorites for the year. I loved watching these two fall in love and overcome their hang ups to be together. The YEARNING that they felt for each other, even while they were together physically, was top notch. I knew Vincy was going to break my heart a little bit with this book, and I enjoyed every minute.

Mia Vincy’s A Wicked Kind of Husband is a delightful historical romance filled with sharp banter, well-developed characters, and a perfect balance of steam and plot. The witty dialogue adds humor and charm, while the chemistry between the leads feels natural and engaging. The romance builds at a satisfying pace, with just the right amount of spice to enhance the story without overpowering it.
While miscommunication tropes aren’t my favorite, this one was bearable—largely because it was handled well and didn’t feel excessively frustrating. That said, there were moments where it seemed unnecessarily drawn out, but it didn’t overshadow my enjoyment of the book.
Overall, A Wicked Kind of Husband is a compelling and well-crafted historical romance that combines humor, passion, and strong character development. If you enjoy sharp banter and an engaging love story, this is definitely worth picking up!

I really did not like this man. The book went for something kinda like a manic pixie dream boy, but only succeeded in creating a deeply selfish, unbelievably annoying guy. He wasn't charming, he wasn't funny, he was mostly just unkind. Sometimes manipulative. I realize he was supposed to get better..... it didn't work very well.

I read some reviews that said, just because there is talk of infidelity or mention of OW they find this one to be bad, they would not pass that, and it made me very curious to read it, because other people said that that had not been a problem to them, and that it was actually a very good book, and I did, and here I am telling you that this book was beautifully written, full of funny banter between two amazing main characters, there was grieving, and so much pain, witty talk, fun and love.

Although Joshua had affairs with married women(3-4 women in almost 3 years) while being married to Cassandra, they didn't know each other at all, it was a marriage of name only, and in fact they did not even recognize each other on their first real meeting in a street by mere chance, and from that instant he never ever had anything to do with other women, he did not look, nor flirted with OW, when he met her at last, they were all in it, there was no pain for her to suffer because they didn't have any kind of relationship before, also yes her dad had a mistress, and I'm not saying it wasn't bad, but there were grave issues in that family, and he had a serious depression that made him kill himself, there was no pain for her mother to suffer, because she became a drug addict and was also very depressed and she became a reclusive almost she paid no attention to her family after her son died, even with all this many many problems, there was this amazing connection between Cassandra and Joshua, and I'm very glad I read it myself, those reviews I read where very childish, I also hate cheating and infidelity, who doesn't? But there was none in the actual book, just talk about what happened in the past. You won't regret reading this amazing story

Another of my reading resolutions this year is to read more romances featuring women - whether f/f or m/f. I gave this a try after reading several glowing reviews and while it didn't quite live up to that, it certainly was a lot of fun. Both Cassandra and Joshua are lovely, and their banter was hilarious. It did feel a bit like a modern comedy dressed up in historical clothes at times, but I enjoyed myself too much to mind. I'm already curious about the next books in the series, whenever they may come.
