Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean

---

Daring and the Duke is an interesting (and somewhat frustrating) finale (sob!) to The Bareknuckle Bastards. The frustration isn't necessarily the fault of the book: storyline and characters are truly good—but they don't jump as wildly off the page as the couples of [b:Wicked and the Wallflower|35695972|Wicked and the Wallflower (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #1)|Sarah MacLean|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1515028066l/35695972._SY75_.jpg|57185173] or [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], who all but explore off their pages—here as much as in their novels. Ewan could have done some more groveling. Grace could have added some more steel to her spine.

But, overall: it's a fun book. I read it in a day, and will read it again. I just wish that there would be more books set in the same world.
