I feel like I was waiting for this one forever!
Though parts of it were a bit aggravating (is it just me, or did it feel like the first 2/3 or so had a lot of unneeded repetition? Or was I just overly anxious for them to get past the "what's keeping us apart" part and get to the togetherness???) the ending more than made up for it, and I took out my earbuds with a very happy sigh :)
Rating: 4 stars / A-

not my fave of hers but fun. You know me, can’t resist a good fuck gazebo
Ewan doesn’t really make A N Y sense but he’s sexy so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd give it 3.5 stars because I like it a little less than the other 2 BB books, but it was a nice conclusion to the story.

It’s time to say goodbye to Sarah McLean’s Bareknuckle Bastards Series – one that I have really enjoyed – with its quirky, headstrong heroines and the men who fall on their knees to adore and protect them.
This last book; is of Grace, the Queen of the Underground, a fierce, loyal and strong woman who holds hr own with her brothers – even through the hell they had gone through as children!
Grace, is the only one who is alone right now; though she knows that the man, her childhood love, the “fake” Duke of Marwick is on her tail – but her confrontation at the start of the book makes her believe that he won’t come back for her anymore.
Ewan, is a man tormented; the only person for whom he has done everything for – is alive and well and wants nothing to do with him! But now that he knows that his Grace is alive; he will stop at nothing to get her back; even if she hates him. She needs to know how deep his feelings run for her and the secrets he had been keeping!
I really enjoyed this conclusion – Ewan and Grace’s angsty connection had me swallowing the book right up; even if there were times when there conversations or rather interactions seemed repetitive at times.
I also really wished that Devil, Whit and Ewan had way more interactions than they did – because throughout the book, it was heart – warming to read Ewan call them his brothers; even when he had thought that they had reneged on their promise to protect Grace.
This was a series I so thoroughly enjoyed – and I am so looking forward to whatever the author will greet us with next!

3.5 stars, rounding up. A note to start: like I said in my review of [b:Brazen and the Beast|40221961|Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)|Sarah MacLean|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1543966730l/40221961._SY75_.jpg|57373068], the premise of this entire series is absolutely bonkers, but really, is it any more unrealistic than the idea of historical England being just crawling with handsome, ripped, socially aware dukes and earls? Anyway. I read this for "villain's love story," and it definitely does qualify for that, though I think I lost a bit of the context by not having read the first book in this series. There's enough filled in here and in Brazen and the Beast to get the backstory, I think, but you might be a little confused if you only read this one.
I LOVED Grace and I wish the book had shown a little bit more of her life in Covent Garden (and again, I need a novella about Zeva to go with the one about Nora, please). I got some major "Harlots" vibes from those sections and wanted more - Grace was pretty solitary outside of her brothers and I would've liked to see more women around her. I did love the scene in the Garden with the women doing laundry, though - that was probably my favorite in the book. I'm glad I read these two books and I'm actually interested again to see what Sarah MacLean's new series is like.
(2020 summer romance bingo: "villain's love story." Would also work for "set on island," loosely, "secret identity," "broken nose only makes them more handsome," and maybe "midsummer ball.")
