Description

New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean returns with a blazingly sexy, unapologetically feminist new series, Hell’s Belles, beginning with a bold, bombshell of a heroine, able to dispose of a scoundrel—or seduce one—in a single night.

After years of living as London’s brightest scandal, Lady Sesily Talbot has embraced the reputation and the freedom that comes with the title. No one looks twice when she lures a gentleman into the dark gardens beyond a Mayfair ballroom…and no one realizes those trysts are not what they seem.

No one, that is, but Caleb Calhoun, who has spent years trying not to notice his best friend’s beautiful, brash, brilliant sister. If you ask him, he’s been a saint about it, considering the way she looks at him…and the way she talks to him…and the way she’d felt in his arms during their one ill-advised kiss.

Except someone has to keep Sesily from tumbling into trouble during her dangerous late-night escapades, and maybe close proximity is exactly what Caleb needs to get this infuriating, outrageous woman out of his system. But now Caleb is the one in trouble, because he’s fast realizing that Sesily isn’t for forgetting…she’s forever. And forever isn’t something he can risk.

    This was so repetitive I had hard time getting through this.
  • Adventure with unconventional heroine.

    All of the author’s heroines are strong, but Sesily is by far the most unconventional. She represents a type of modern woman I’ve never seen before in a regency romance. This is an adventure story that is not typical of the genre. In order to understand Sesily it might be helpful to start with the previous novels in the Scandal and Scoundrel series.

    Bombshell—I adore Sarah’s heroines, BUT Sesily is my fav. Can’t wait, though, to get to know Adelaide!
  • Action packed

    It has everything you would want from a romance novel, everything you’d expect form Sarah MacLean, and…unexpected thrills! 💥

    This was not a historical romance. The verbiage was laughable. The actions of the heroine unbelievable for it’s time period. The writing was repetitive and boring. Done with this “historical” (ya right) author.
  • Disappointing

    Less than halfway through this and I’ve completely lost interest. I don’t really know why. It wasn’t that riveting to begin with, but I had hoped it would get better. I might try to finish it later but after the Bareknuckle trilogy, this is just blah and uneventful.
