Since Hattie is 29 and unlikely to ever wed, running the family business is her one chance to be the master of her fate - until she crosses paths with Beast 'Whit' Bareknuckle Bastard of London. her father runs a shipping company, and it is her great desire to inherit it over her brother and have some control over her own life and future. It starts with Henrietta 'Hattie' being a larger-than-life woman (literally) who has always been *too much* for the ton too loud, tall, plump, ambitious. Surprising no one, this second book from MacLean is more brilliance an absolute master-class in a new era of historical romance that is both feminist, progressive, and hot as all get-out! I became OBSESSED with this new his-rom from MacLean, that is largely set in the "underworld" of London in Covent Garden, and is a bit of an upstairs/downstairs for centring around four siblings - three of whom are from the "gutters" and the first two books focused on brothers Devil and Beast, had them paired with ladies ("toffs") from the gentry.įirst book was about Devil and Felicity, who are now married when we dive into 'Brazen and the Beast' which is all about brother Beast and his Lady Henrietta Sedley. 'Brazen and the Beast' is the second book in Sarah MacLean's new historical romance series, 'The Bareknuckle Bastards'.
