Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean
5.0

Review to come but !!!!

Edited to add review:


Daring and the Duke is an essential series ender and the grovel novel Sarah MacLean has been leading up to and promising her readers for the last three books of The Bareknuckle Bastards. The opening chapters are at a breakneck speed that picks up right where Brazen and the Beast left off and the pace made me hold my breath until there was a break in the plot. For me, it was basically perfect.

When Ewan finds out Grace is alive the tension and anguish seeps out of him off the page and Grace’s...delight isn’t quite the right word, but she revels in being able to keep herself and her people safe. And those opening chapters - which last quite a long time - are Grace at her most powerful. There’s so much that happens in the book that is basically all spoilers but I think I’ve read every book MacLean has read now and I honestly think this is her best work yet. It felt like she’s leveled up in a new way.

I came into the novel wanting to hate Ewan and of course the author managed to make me grudgingly adore him. But Grace...phew. I would kill for her. But I wouldn’t need to because seriously? She can take care of herself thank you very much. This book is everything I love about romance all rolled into one. Buy this whole series, read it, love it, spread the joy. Repeat.
