There’s dishonesty and betrayal, and the situation devolves into ridiculousness. What dragged this story down for me wasn’t the romance, but rather the subplot. Good characters can be hard to find, so it’s refreshing to find two likeable (though imperfect) main characters. I enjoyed both Hattie and Whit in Brazen and the Beast -they were full of life, their motivations are clear, and their interactions were fun and engaging. The “Year of Hattie” is off to a poor start, but she isn’t about to allow a man to get in the way of her goals. Fate, however, has other plans when Whit (aka Beast), a ‘king’ of Covent Garden, is stashed, unconscious and restrained, inside her carriage. Lady Henrietta “Hattie” Sedley has a plan for her 29th year of life: take control of her future in many ways, and that includes her father’s shipping business. I went into this book without reading the first, and it read perfectly fine as a standalone despite the main characters from Wicked and the Wallflower making a few appearances. Formats: eBook ($7), Paperback ($14), Hardcover ($18)īrazen and the Beast is the second book in MacLean’s Bareknuckle Bastards series.
