There are allusions to/discussions of what happened in the past, so you can dive into this book without reading Wicked and the Wallflower and Brazen and the Beast, but it’s difficult to understand just how bad Ewan has been if you haven’t been immersed in this world before. If you’ve read the first two Bareknuckle Bastards books–and I would recommend doing so before reading Daring and the Duke–you’ll know that Ewan is going to have to be redeemed in a big way in order for MacLean to pull this off. Overall: MacLean nailed the close on this trilogy. Plot: Stay with me – He tried to kill her when they were kids – Stay with me! – Now he’s a fraudulent duke – Stay with me – And she’s the queen of the Covent Garden criminal underground Character Chemistry: If you’re looking for a 380-page grovel, you’ve come to the right place
