Review(s):
Last year, we declared her the intoxicating queen of historical romance, and her latest...keeps that crown firmly atop her brilliantly erotic, feminist head. MacLean consistently elevates romance to high art, besting herself nearly every time she puts pen to paper, and
Brazen and the Beast is no exception.
Strong female protagonists are the rule in genre romance, but Hattie stands out for the clarity of her goals and the intelligence with which she goes about achieving them. Classic MacLean: smoking hot, emotionally rich, thrilling, and unforgettable.
The imaginative plot carries readers along in this deliciously sexy story filled with heart.
When it comes to crafting unforgettable romances that are both emotionally and thematically complex, nobody does it quite like RITA award-winning MacLean, and the latest brilliantly written and boldly sensual addition to her Bareknuckle Bastards series is another exquisitely constructed and exceptionally entertaining celebration of the power of love...
MacLean is not called the intoxicating queen of historical romance for nothing! Shes a master of intelligent dialogue, which adds to the tension, as several moments for a possible tryst pass the couple by...A fun, sexy read!
Combining dark humor and plenty of heat between our brazen leads, and offering intriguing glimpses of the next installment, MacLean (
Wicked and the Wallflower) once again gives us an independent-minded heroine discovering the possibilities of a future with a dangerous leader of Covent Gardens underbelly.
Funny, playful and vivid, Sarah MacLeans latest romance samples the best of both worlds with the earthy vigor of the slums crafty, loyal lower classes and the juicy intrigue of high society scandal.
Brazen and the Beastis filled with lush sensuality, charming characters, witty dialogue and heart-stopping action--a tale that is certain to delight romance readers.
This book is funny, sexy, and empathetic towards its characters.
Shes my absolute go-to author for clever, sexy and fun historical romances.
