HELL’S BELLES

Sometimes the best gentleman for the job…is a lady.

MacLean is a master at weaving passion and vulnerability equally in her characters. When it comes to historical romance, she’s one of the best for all these reasons and then some.
— Vulture on Bombshell
A complete pleasure as it seamlessly shifts from nail-biting action to aching romance. It’s a celebration of finding joy through living and loving with truth and authenticity. Heartbreaker is another stunner from a Romancelandia favorite.
— Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
Sarah MacLean makes righteous female rage oh-so-sexy and empowering. Her books have always buzzed with a feminist undercurrent, but she devours misogyny and sets fire to the patriarchy with Knockout.
— Entertainment Weekly, Best Book of the Summer

THE BAREKNUCKLE BASTARDS

Three brothers, bound by a secret they cannot escape…and the women who bring them to their knees.

A masterpiece...a magnificent romance as satisfying as it is subversive.
— New York Times Book Review
MacLean consistently elevates romance to high art, besting herself every time she puts pen to paper, and Brazen and the Beast is no exception.
— Entertainment Weekly
An unabashedly feminist exploration of power and how it ties in with identity and desire. The cinematic finale draws the series to a wholly satisfying conclusion. Dark, daring, delicious, and absolutely delightful.
— Kirkus, Starred Review

SCANDAL & SCOUNDREL

Celebrity scandal with a Victorian Twist — a trio of books featuring a set of scandalous sisters…

Funny, smart, feminist and roastingly hot.
— BookRiot
A triumph of delicious wit and delectable sensuality...smartly written, stunningly sexy historical romance.
— Booklist, Starred Review
MacLean writes with an entirely unique blend of elegance and ferocity...vibrant characters whose flaws only make them more intoxicating as they wind their way on their journey to eventual romantic bliss...crisply modern and swoon-inducing.
— Entertainment Weekly

 RULES OF SCOUNDRELS

Four scandals, whispered about in ballrooms across Britain.
Four aristocrats, exiled from society, now royalty in the London underworld.
Four loves, powerful enough to tame the darkness and return these fallen angels to the light.

This is not your mother’s romance. Nor your typical heroine. For one thing, the heroine Lady Philippa Marbury wears glasses. Thick 1831 spectacles, not Tina Fey’s smart-girl ones….From the moment she strides into Mayfair’s infamous gaming club, The Fallen Angel, on foot and without a chaperone, both the reader and the hero named Cross are bewildered and bewitched.
— USA Today, 4 of 4 stars
Sharp wit, flashes of humor, long-simmering fury, and a wealth of well-drawn characters add depth to this superbly rendered story that deftly addresses a number of social, class, and women’s issues while it delivers a stunning romance... Brilliant, seductive, and intensely engaging.
— Library Journal, Starred Review
Compelling and complex characters on a path toward love and reconciliation that begins with seemingly impossible odds and ends with exquisite fulfillment. Beguiling and emotionally lush.
— Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
MacLean starts a new pre-Victorian series with enjoyable romps, witty banter, and electric sexual tension.
— Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

LOVE BY NUMBERS

The St. John Family Trilogy

MacLean has reinvigorated the genre with a bolder edge.
— The New Yorker
When it comes to crafting wonderfully escapist love stories composed of equal measures of sexy romance and sharp wit, literary newcomer MacLean is unrivaled.
— The Chicago Tribune
