New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean returns with the
much-anticipated final book in her Bareknuckle Bastards series,
featuring a scoundrel duke and the powerful woman who brings him to his
knees.
Grace Condry has spent a lifetime running from her past.
Betrayed as a child by her only love and raised on the streets, she now
hides in plain sight as queen of London's darkest corners. Grace has a
sharp mind and a powerful right hook and has never met an enemy she
could not best...until the man she once loved returns. Single-minded and
ruthless, Ewan, Duke of Marwick, has spent a decade searching for the
woman he never stopped loving. A long-ago gamble may have lost her
forever, but Ewan will go to any lengths to win Grace back...and make
her his duchess. Reconciliation is the last thing Grace desires. Unable
to forgive the past, she vows to take her revenge. But revenge requires
keeping Ewan close, and soon her enemy seems to be something else
altogether-something she can't resist, even as he threatens the world
she's built, the life she's claimed...and the heart she swore he'd never
steal again.
3.5 STARS
It had good main characters, plenty of emotional depth and some pretty cruel childhoods. And not just cruel to Grace and Ewan, that also included his half-brothers too. They were all pitted against each other for YEARS as they lived under the thumb of the old Duke of Marwick. The story presented some unusual and unique plot ideas.
However, I just wished I liked it more. One of the major reasons that it became somewhat of a hurdle for me? It just felt like it went on way too long.
