dianed 's review for:

Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean
5.0

In this final book in the Bareknuckle Bastards series Sarah MacLean has outdone herself. While she always writes strong female characters nothing and no one can beat Grace Condry. She lived the start of her life in secret - the daughter of the Duchess of Marwick - a place holder while the Duke played games with 3 of his bastards to decide who would "win" his title.
All 4 of the children were forced to compete and yet, the loser was the Duke whose evil plan actaully drew them togather. Now, 20 years later, Ewan (aka the Duke of Marwick) has found Grace again - his one true love - and will do whatever it takes to win her heart.
There are so many feelings in this book - happy and sad, I dare the reader not to cry over parts of it. The Happily Ever After is a fitting end to this great series.
