Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean
2.0
Sigh. I have loved Sarah MacLean’s work, until the Bareknuckle Bastards series. I did not care for Felicity and Devin’s book at all. I am just over revenge plots in which the woman is a pawn in the master plan of the “hero.” Hattie and Whit’s book was much better, and I had hoped Ms. McLean was returning to form; Hattie is one of my favorite heroines ever, in any series.
I was nervous about this book, because I didn’t see Ewan as redeemable. The previous two books quite clearly portray him as a monster. He killed multiple people and very nearly killed Hattie. Unfortunately, my concerns were warranted. His redemption, such as it was, was quick and easy. The story that explains how/why he nearly killed Grace and his brothers was accepted far too easily by all. Not all characters can be redeemed, nor should they.
