Brazen and the Beast

Sarah MacLean

(The Bareknuckle Bastards #2)

Published: July 30, 2019 by Avon Romance

New York Times Bestselling Author Sarah MacLean returns with the next book in the Bareknuckle Bastards series about three brothers bound by a secret that they cannot escape—and the women who bring them to their knees.

The Lady’s Plan

When Lady Henrietta Sedley declares her twenty-ninth year her own, she has plans to inherit her father’s business, to make her own fortune, and to live her own life. But first, she intends to experience a taste of the pleasure she’ll forgo as a confirmed spinster. Everything is going perfectly…until she discovers the most beautiful man she’s ever seen tied up in her carriage and threatening to ruin the Year of Hattie before it’s even begun.

The Bastard’s Proposal

When he wakes in a carriage at Hattie’s feet, Whit, a king of Covent Garden known to all the world as Beast, can’t help but wonder about the strange woman who frees him—especially when he discovers she’s headed for a night of pleasure . . . on his turf. He is more than happy to offer Hattie all she desires…for a price.

An Unexpected Passion

Soon, Hattie and Whit find themselves rivals in business and pleasure. She won’t give up her plans; he won’t give up his power . . . and neither of them sees that if they’re not careful, they’ll have no choice but to give up everything . . . including their hearts.

Wicked and the Wallflower

Sarah MacLean

(The Bareknuckle Bastards #1)

Published: June 19, 2018 by Avon Romance

When a man known only as Devil finds his way into her bedchamber and offers her his help in landing a duke, Lady Felicity Faircloth agrees. She might be a spinster, but she’s seen love in action and is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that her future husband will love her beyond reason—even if it means she must make a deal with a man more dangerous than she could imagine.

Bastard son of a duke, and king of London’s darkest corners, Devil has made a lifetime of wielding power and seizing opportunity, and Felicity Faircloth is everything he needs to exact a perfect revenge. All he has to do is turn the plain little mouse into an irresistible temptress, set his trap, and destroy his enemy. If the girl is ruined in the process, so be it.

Except there’s nothing plain about Felicity Faircloth, and soon it’s Devil who is trapped…along with his heart.

Historical Romance

Published in 2011

H/h - Simon Pearson, The Duke of Leighton/Juliana Fiori

Setting: London/Yorksire, 1823.

Read in June, 2011.

My rating: 3.5 out of 5

                                                                           [spoiler alert]

The Duke of Disdain, Simon, didn't impress me in the other two books in this series, specially in Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord when he just left his sister to Minerva house, learning she's gotten herself pregnant out of wedlock, announcing he has no sister! In this book, I thought he'd work hard to convince me but he gave me a lot of frustrations instead. I wanted to love him since I'm kinda tired of rakes and he seemed liked the type I'd enjoy reading and Juliana the type of heroine delivering the jolting his 'ever perfect' life needed... Well, I'll try to point out what went wrong for me in this book.

Setting: Yorkshire/London, 1823.

Read in June, 2011.

My rating: 3.5 out of 5

                                                                       [spoiler alert]

I always feel sad when I finish a book thinking this could've been much better and of course if I happen to like the characters in it, this makes it worse. This book was one of them. I wish the story didn't drag that much and Nicholas aka Nick aka I'll-hug-him-to-my-ample-bosom-anytime darling is one of those heroes I adore! :p

H/h - Gabriel St. John, The Marquess of Ralston/Lady Calpurnia Hartwell
Setting: London, 1823.

Read in June, 2011.

My rating: 3 out of 5

                                              
                                                                    [spoiler alert]

These are my thoughts after 15 chapters of the book:

After finishing like 15/16 chapters of the book, I have to say, I'm rather disappointed. Seeing all those really sparkling stars, I might've expected something more original, something more ... I don't know. Something that will blow me away. But, sadly I'm not. I'm not even moved, really. I spend at least 13 chapters of the book pitying Calpurnia and fighting my irritation at Gabriel. Have to say it's not a very good sign.
