Brazen and the Beast by Sarah MacLean

5.0

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.
