    About this audiobook

    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.

      A good redemption love story. I like that this one had a very strong heroine. Definitely recommend.

      I am at a loss for words to describe how much I loved this book and it’s narration. I am already thinking of listening to it again or buying the book and now reading it. I am in love with its characters.

      Loved Grace and Marwick's story! Happy to get the backstory of his sacrifice. I do still hold Beast's story as my all time favorite. I enjoyed Devil and Felicity, too. An amazing trilogy!
    • 5/5
      Daring and the Duke is the finale of the Barenuckled Bastards trilogy by this author and I can’t believe this delightful series is over already. I think I have been looking forward to Grace’s story since the first book was read, she is such an iconic character that just builds the mystery and intrigue throughout the trilogy, so you just ache for her story and seeing more of her background, and there are so many facets to her character that I found fascinating and well worth the long wait for. And of course we have our anti hero(villain) who has just played the “bad guy” for the first two books and one wonders how on EARTH can MacLean redeem this soul? Well she does and its epically beautiful.Daring and the Duke starts off with a torture session with Grace and Ewan. This is quite shortly after “Brazen and the Beast” and where Ewan is captured by the three and Grace takes out her anger and feelings of betrayal and hurt out on Ewan and Ewan shocked to find her alive, is willing to give her whatever she needs, even if it means causing him pain. He doesn’t fight her at all. And then he is tossed out and we jump ahead one year later where Ewan after disappearing for a year, returns to London and to Grace and is more than willing to fight for her, no matter what it takes. Grace knows that playing with Ewan, and sharing kisses with him is dangerous, but she senses there is something redeemable about him and wants to see what is possible with this Ewan who has seemingly changed from the man he once was. But Ewan is hiding a secret from all of them, and only once the secrets are revealed, can Ewan and Grace truly find a future together.Daring and the Duke was a delightful story that I fell so hard for and so quickly towards and I couldn’t get enough of it. I was so captivated by this book and quite frankly READ these books in narration form. That is all I am going to say and you will adore them. I will be honest, I don’t physically read this author anymore. I have just found it to be too slow at times and I can have the hardest time getting into them, but boy, Justine Eyre works her magic in narrating these books and probably a big reason why I have enjoyed them so much here.You are a queen….and tonight I am your throneI really fell in love with the story though, and even though the beginning scene is not my cup of tea (a heroine hurting the hero is NOT for me) and I almost set it aside because that scene did bother me. I understand the circumstances and why she was so angry, but it just turned my stomach seeing this scene. But then once we do the year jump, then the book turned into all that I hoped for. I loved the groveling but I also liked seeing the heroine see something more in the hero even if she doesn’t fully realize it. And all the women in the family coming together and cheering her on in her pursuit of Ewan was AWESOME. We do get some good reconcilation between the brothers and even if it wasn’t as much as I wanted to get, it was well done in seeing that friendship be able to rebuild its process.The three of us could have easily been broken. Separated. Manipulated,” he said. “It wasn’t blood that kept us together against him. It was you.” She caught her breath. “We all loved you. Whit and Devil like a sister—each of them willing to protect you without hesitation. And me . . .” He trailed off, and she reached for his hand, threading her fingers through his. “Like you were a part of me.The romance between Grace and Ewan was just beautiful. We do get some flashback to when they were younger, and seeing that bright young love blossom and then seeing what Ewan had to do to save all of them and it broke my heart seeing him make the difficult choice knowing it would make them turn against him. I found seeing that and seeing his devotion to Grace when he finds her alive and well, was stunning in its portrayal throughout the book. What he is willing to do to fight for her and support her is beautiful in every way. And seeing Grace fight for him, even if that means standing up for him against the two men that protected her all these years, was mind blowing. You see how much depth of love she contains for Ewan, despite all of his past wrongs, but sees the goodness still in him.I do not want to be Your Grace ever again. All I want is for you to be my Grace.” He kissed her again. “It’s always been you. Every day. Every night. Every minute. Since the beginning. This is the sum of my ambition: To be worthy of you. Of your love. Of your world. To stand by your side and change it.Overall I found Daring and the Duke to be a stunning story that won my heart with each beautiful chapter that charmed my soul in its depths of emotion and startling truths of love and growth…..STUNNINGLY EPIC
    • 3/5
      3.5 stars - Grace and Ewan’s story never really gripped me throughout the other books even though theirs is the foundation of the series. The plot itself was fine but it just felt a bit dull.
    • 4/5
      I liked both of these characters and had been really interested in them since the very start of the series. The hero's love was impressive which was a lot of fun to read. This felt like it got a little bit bogged down though. (Yet still it feels like some considerable threads were left loose. Perhaps I blinked and I missed it, but I never saw confirmation whether or not the hero killed their evil father, or if he had anything to do with orchestrating the raid. He's accused or questioned about both, but I'm not sure there was ever a definitive answer. ? ) It's also one of those that could have been a pretty short story if people had just come out with their secrets already. Sometimes characters have good reason to keep them, but here, any excuse they might have had rapidly got weaker as it went along. That said, pretty much all the scenes, taken individually, were good and enjoyable. MacLean can write witty banter and nice descriptions and steamy scenes and all that no problem. I just wish the book as a whole had been edited a bit more. The series overall is fantastic, I've already read the first two twice and I'm sure I'll read this one again at some point too. I rank book one as 4.5 stars rounded up to 5, book two as an easy 5 stars, and this book 4 stars.

      2nd read- Pretty much everything I said the first time still stands. I think the hero is treated unjustly, and things should have been cleared up much, much earlier (or given us a better reason for why they weren't). Another thing not clarified one way or the other There seems to be a pretty strong case that the hero is a virgin, (he has zero interest in other women, he's been in love and pining after the heroine since they were children, he doesn't seem practiced, and maybe even a little hesitant, when the moment arrives), but it's not confirmed one way or the other. But overall I really like the hero. It just feels like he loves her so much. <3 With some better editing this could have been 5 stars I think, but it's a firm 4.
    • 3/5
      I wanted to love this book so much, I really adore a good "Villain turns Hero" romance, but I have to believe that the Villain has changed, or at the very least I have to believe that his reasons were good enough for his behavior in previous books.

      Unfortunately, I did not believe in Ewan's redemption arc. However, I do believe that Grace was convinced and that she truly loved him. And this always presents a problem for me when rating a romance. I think many other people will love this book, and I am always a HUGE Sarah MacLean fan, but this one just didn't work for me.
    • 3/5
      Well that was disappointing. I loved the first two books in this series. Loved! Shouted from the rooftops about how much I loved the books. But I wondered on and off through the second book how it was going to be possible to redeem Ewan. My worries were well placed. A little murder between friends and enemies can be gotten around, or murder to save the people one loves, but the wholesale murder of innocent people in the wrong place at the wrong time because a man is grieving and frustrated and sad and having a temper tantrum where he feels the need to blow shit up cannot be written around. Mass murderers need love too? That doesn't work for me.There were some swoony elements here, and that she managed any in this really problematic setup is a testament to her MacLean's storytelling prowess. I wanted to to be able to root for the couple, but I could not. The background on Ewan (even though we know he was the victim of abuse) along with some sloppy wordsmithing just killed this. Every time Grace and Ewan kissed it was "long and lush." Someone needs to do a word search to count how many times MacLean used the word "pleasure" (or as the reader says "plezhaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.") Also, the "you are my queen and I am your throne" thing which comes about when she is pretty literally sitting on his face was a little squicky, and it came up more than once. The best moments in this book were still when Grace and Whit and Devil were together -- I still loved them and their love for one another. The family dynamic was great. I think if they had not make Ewan so evil in the first two books this might have worked, but as it is, no matter how much contrition he showed, no.One other note -- the ability to ABSOLUTELY protect against pregnancy was stated more than once and it really chafed. Yes, whores in Covent Garden had some strategies to reduce the likelihood of pregnancy, and some helped, but none were anything close to completely reliable. Grace says when she has vaginal sex with Ewan for the first time it is okay because its impossible for her to get pregnant. She also says he should know his mother wanted him or else she would have protected herself against getting pregnant. This is wrong, and it minimizes the importance of access to reliable contraception and methods of termination. It is a disservice to those who are still fighting for women to have access to what they need to control their reproduction. Okay, it more than chaffed, it repelled me. If I did not know Sarah MacLean is not anti-choice and is a feminist, I would have thought otherwise after reading this.
    • 3/5
      This is the last of the Bareknuckle Bastards books and it is certainly a fitting end to their saga. Grace is the legal daughter of the Duke of Marwick though not his blood. Since she can't be the heir, he brings in three of his bastard sons to compete for the title, leading to some unintended consequences. While I generally like Ms. MacLean's books, this one is not one of my favorites. Ewan and Grace don't really seem to fit, more lost in a nostalgic haze from miserable childhoods not worth the sturm und drang in their current lives. Ewan has done some unforgivable acts, yet lust seems to make it all fine for Grace. It's a good read, but I hoped for more. The ending (no spoilers) really saved the book for me.
    • 5/5
      Sarah MacLean has done it again. She's created a fun, immersive historical romance that I absolutely did not want to put down, which explains why I was up until 3 AM finishing it. This is the final book in her Bareknuckle Bastards series, and in it, we get Grace's story. Grace is fierce, loyal, protective, intelligent, and just all-around awesome. Like many others, I did not know how she was going to pull off a redemption arc for the character cast as the villain in the first two books, but she did it with apparent ease. I'm often amazed, even though I should know better by now, by how MacLean draws you into the story and makes you invested in the characters and the outcome. I *knew* there would be a HEA. It's a historical romance. They are supposed to have a HEA. It's an implied contract between the reader and the author, and a big reason why I keep coming back to the genre, especially while the "real" world falls to shit. But MacLean writes the story in such a way that you get lost in it, and I found myself holding my breath, looking a how many pages were left and nearly crying because I couldn't see how we'd get the HEA by the end. The only quibble I have, and the reason why I'd give it 4 1/2 or 4 3/4 stars instead of a full 5, is that it lacks the laugh-out-loud humor of most of her other books. That humor is what actually brought me back to the genre after nearly 25 years, so I look for it in every historical romance I read. I missed it. Regardless, this is still a fabulous book, and if you're a fan of the genre or a fan of MacLean's you can't miss it.
    • 5/5
      The conclusion of the Bareknuckle Bastards series and terrific second chance romance. After reading the first two books, I wasn't sure how Ewan would be redeemed. I suspected that there must be good in him or Grace would not have loved him the way she did, but he was going to have to work at it.Parts of the history of Ewan and the Bastards were revealed in the previous books, but I always felt that there was more to the story. Their childhoods were miserable thanks to the cruelty of the old duke. The things he put them through were beyond cruel, but they had each others' backs whenever possible. Though Grace was close to Whit and Dev, the connection between her and Ewan was much different. When the old duke played his final hand with them, what they saw as Ewan's betrayal cut extra deep. Whit, Dev, and Grace ran for their lives and made new ones in London. Now they are wealthy, powerful, and the undisputed rulers of Covent Garden.When the old duke died, Ewan went looking for Grace and the others. Still furious at his betrayal, Whit and Dev told Ewan that Grace was dead. In his grief, Ewan swore vengeance on them for not keeping her safe. The things he did in the first two books showed that he had learned well from the old duke. It made it very hard to believe that he was redeemable.As this story opens, Grace has rescued Ewan from the explosion he caused. Stunned to realize that she is alive, he quickly discovers that Grace is not the same girl he loved all those years ago. She is independent, strong, and the queen of her world. Their confrontation is heartbreaking as Grace makes sure Ewan knows her feelings about what he has done. I ached for them both as she drove him away.A year later, Ewan returns to London, a changed man. He overcame the cold, calculating, revenge-driven man he had been, determined to become someone that Grace could love. Grace is determined to protect her heart from him, knowing she wouldn't survive another betrayal. I loved Ewan's patience as he worked to regain her trust and love. Some of their talks were heart-wrenching as they shared what their lives were like in the years they were apart. In the end, Ewan knew it had to be Grace's choice whether to give him a chance. I loved the twist to the ending that gave them the future they both wanted.One of the things I enjoyed about this book was the world that Grace created for herself. In a time when men had all of the power, she carved out a place where women could show their strengths. I loved the club that she runs and seeing what the women could do when they were out from under the thumbs of their men. I liked hearing about their intelligence and talents and how they put them to use to make a difference. It gives new life to the saying, "Behind every successful man there stands a woman."
    • 5/5
      As it’s Sarah MacLean, of course this book is getting five stars because it was a wonderful conclusion to this trilogy. But oh the angst...it was a lot to handle, although it was needed to get Ewan and Grace where they needed to be in trust and love. A very satisfying HEA for all, and I hope to see them again here and there in more books to come.
    • 5/5
      Twenty years ago Grace Condry felt the sting of betrayal and heartbreak as her childhood love, Ewan took up the mantle as the Duke of Marwick. Grace fled with her found family and they survived on the streets in Convent Garden, working their way up and making a name for themselves as The Bareknuckle Bastards. But still Grace can't run from her past, and it doesn't help that Ewan has been making trouble for them the past few months (and trouble is just a nice way of putting it). Seems Ewan is really living up to the Mad Marwick moniker others of the ton have taken to calling him. But Grace has been hiding for twenty years and it's proved futile. If she truly wants to move on, it might just be time to face the past and mend a broken heart.Daring and the Duke is absolute perfection. I feel like HEA's that are normally built up in the background over the course of a series and finally coming to a head in the final installment frequently don't live up to the expectations that I unavoidably set. I think Daring and the Duke is the first time I've ever been 100% satisfied with the way a romance has proceeded.It pulls together a truly heartbreaking redemption arc and second-chance romance. Sarah MacLean knew when to bring the ebb and flow of Grace and Ewan together over the course of the story and when to give them space.There's so much history between these two, and honestly, I was skeptical that Sarah MacLean could satisfactorily redeem Ewan based on his actions in the previous two books. But I felt like he was redeemed and I felt like readers finally got to get the full story of what happened in Dev, Whit, Grace, and Ewan's childhoods all those years ago. While it doesn't excuse his actions and many of the decisions he made, there's still a sense of growth that shows that he is not the person they believe him to be, that he can change, that he will do better.For her part, Grace has to decide if she can trust and with that trust comes sharing the life she's built, but with understanding that it's not to stifle who she's become, but to, hopefully, make her stronger.I loved each interaction between Grace and Ewan and as stated before, Sarah MacLean cleverly paces them throughout the book, just teases readers enough to want more, but not so much that it feels repetitive or like it's dragging on too long. In fact, the only thing I could quibble about is not wanting the story to end quite so quickly.I appreciated that the focus is on Grace and Ewan but that doesn't preclude Dev and Whit from getting to put in their two cents as well, and I just love the bond between them and Grace, and hope it's one day there for Ewan as well.I'm going to be honest, this book gave me the best book coma, and while I'm excited to see what Sarah MacLean has for readers next, I honestly can't imagine moving on from this series too quickly. Methinks a re-read is already in order. If you haven't read this series, you can certainly read each book on its own, but I feel in this case, Grace and Ewan's story is stronger for having been built up throughout the other two books. It packs more of a punch and leaves you even more satisfied. It definitely goes on my so far best of list for the year!
    • 5/5
      Grace and Ewan's story! One of tragedy, cruelty, hope and love--the greatest of all!Another fantastic addition to the series that has had us all howling for more.What's not to love! My heart was in my mouth time and again as the story of Ewan and Grace played out. Oh, I knew it was going to be an HEA but the getting there is magnificent.For years Ewan the ‘Mad’ Duke of Marwick has been punishing Devil and Whit (Beast) because they didn't keep Grace safe. She’d died. Except she hadn't. Her brothers-in-arms (make that bastard-brothers-in-arms) were protecting her.Now, Ewan is the one who might need protection because he'd almost killed Whit’s wife, and had killed men they protected in his mad desire, nay focused commitment to  punsihing them.When we last saw the group, Grace Condry or rather Dahlia had taken Ewan captive, as part of a vow the three had made to take revenge on Ewan for nearly killing them and forcing them to flee so many years ago to the life they had now. A life that went from bare knuckled "Fighters. Criminals. [to] Kings of Covent Garden." And Dahlia was the Queen. Together they ruled the area around Covent Gardens providing  a degree of safety for their people. All that doesn't lesson their vow by one iota.Dahlia is now the successful owner of a Woman's Club hidden deep in the bowels of the Gardens, a place where women can do and be as they please, with lavish entertainment, surroundings, and unbidden desires met.But now all that is being threatened by the Mad Duke and others.Of course when Ewan and Grace begin a long slow dance towards understanding there's nothing graceful about that journey.  There's a surfeit of passion, of lust, and a raging fire of desire. But how that might work out is contentious and impenetrable.Both Grace and Ewan need hope to carry them through and the four bastards need redemption and forgiveness for and with each other. And that part is the most difficult, almost a lost cause.A fitting conclusion to the Bastards stories.A HarperCollins ARC via NetGalley

      Review originally published at Romancing Romances.I received an eARC at no cost from the author, and I am leaving a voluntary and honest review. Thank you.I can't express how happy I am to have received this book, and just before my birthday. What a wonderful gift.If you've read any of Sarah MacLean's books, you know she's great at turning a villain around. And this book is testament to that. Although I'll say, I liked Ewan from the first book, even though I didn't like what he did.The Bareknuckle Bastards series follows the life of four siblings. Three boys (Devil, Whit, and Ewan) born of the same man, but different women, and a girl with no blood connection to either of them, but family nonetheless. Devil and Whit's stories are the previous books in the series, and this one is the story of the girl. The girl whose name was given by Ewan, the fourth boy. Because she didn't even have that.Grace loved Devil and Whit as brothers, but with Ewan it was always different. And that's why it hurt so much when Ewan behaved in a way that made the Bareknuckle Bastards run away from him, scared and feeling as betrayed as possible. Their pain prevented them from seeing what was really happening.I absolutely loved this book. I read it in just a few hours. Sarah MacLean's writing is so compelling, and so sexy! Her characters come to life before your eyes and just amaze you with their behaviours and actions.Grace is this strong, independent woman. A queen in her turf. Covent Garden was her home, even though she was not born there. She knew it from Ewan's stories, and when the time came, Grace, Devil, and Whit all ran to it. And when Ewan could, the first thing he did was chase Grace and track her down. No, not chase. Search for her. And his heart and mind couldn't take it when his brothers told him she was dead. Because he knew he could feel her. And when he started to believe them, nothing could stand in his path to destruction for they had let the woman he loved die. Which is something Whit and Devil ended up admitting they would have probably done, if their loved ones had died in the same way.I loved the heart to heart talks between Grace and Ewan, and how their trust starts to rebuild, and how Ewan realizes it has to be Grace's choice. It could not be in any different way.The one thing I missed in the book was a reunion of the brothers at the end. Ewan told Grace what happened, but I would have liked a talk between the brothers. Devil and Whit learn the truth just as Grace, but if only we had a scene with the brothers being closer, or at least that open door...The way Ewan suffered broke my heart. And I have to admit I shed a tear or two when Ewan made his confession of what his dreams were: "“You, and me, here [Covent Garden]. With a collection of flame-haired babes.” She closed her eyes. “My brothers. Their children. A family.”".I am usually not a fan of second-chance romances, but this one... it's golden!In short, read this book. You won't regret it, and you'll love the Bareknuckle Bastards.
