I’m so happy I read this book. I have been a big fan of Sarah MacLean since the Love by Numbers series, and I own all of her books. But I was really disappointed with the first Bareknuckle Bastards book; I didn’t even finish it.

Because of my love for Ms. MacLean, there was no way I would give up on her after one disappointing book. I am SO GLAD I didn’t, because I loved Brazen and the Beast so much. Hattie is a wonderful heroine—smart, ambitious, and iron-willed. Beast was a much better hero than his brother, Devil. I understood why he made the choices he did, and he cared. He was tough, but he wasn’t an ass (unlike Devil). I also loved some of the secondary characters in this book—really hoping for a novella featuring Lady Nora and Nik! I am excited to read Grace’s book; the next year is going to be a long wait.

Sarah gets me in a chokehold every. Single. Time. Within sentences. Hattie was an absolute delight and of course was very excited for Beast (and to get to see him talk more!).

The banter, the trope, love! I've been really impressed with Sarah's heroines, their wit, humor, and quirkiness is really refreshing. Also, the heroine actually expressing her feelings, thoughts, and desires is SO appreciated. I found myself laughing so much and loved the relationship.
