#bareknucklebastards

Hi, I'm so tired, I forgot to put coffee in the coffee maker this morning & brewed a pot of hot, vaguely coffee-ish water. 🙃 It's been A WEEK, friends. Shots for the babies. Minor surgery for the husband (he's fine). Oh, and A RAGING 112,000 ACRE WILDFIRE that's creeping closer and closer to us, and smoky conditions so bad, we can smell it inside our house. The wildfires in Oregon, California & Washington are SO BAD, ya'll. I live in a sepia-toned world right now. Please please please, let us get some rain soon. . . I am escaping the wildfire doom-scrolling by reading a bit this morning before the babies wake up. I just started YOU HAD ME AT HOLA (which is wonderful so far), but I binge-read the Bareknuckle Bastards books earlier this summer, and let me tell you, they were a delight! I have a hard time reading historical romance most of the time, but these books worked for me on so many levels. They are perfect, romantic escapism. Swoony, sexy, and populated by just a fantastic cast of characters. . . Once I finally got an actual pot of coffee to brew this morning, I poured it into my current favorite mug from @sjwonderlandz ... I also have this design on a matching bookmark!

What are you #currentlyreading? 💛 Welcome to #StyledByBooks, Baby Edition ... aka, when mom realizes her babies are dressed to match the book she's reading. 😂 . . I usually struggle so much with getting into historical romance, but I was just in a particular mood recently, and so I decided to finally dive into @sarahmaclean's Bareknuckle Bastards series. Friends. It is delightful. I've been binging the series these last two weeks, and these books are so entertaining. Making time to read right now is hard, but I look forward to every moment I'm lost in this world. I'm hoping to finish DARING & THE DUKE, the third and final book, later today. Many thanks to @avonbooks for sending me this finished copy. . . Swipe through for a peek at the steamy stepback, plus babies. The last photo is what I imagine their faces will look like when they understand the contents of mommy's book. 🤣😂 . . #daringandtheduke #sarahmaclean #bareknucklebastards #AmReading #booksasoutfits #nnstyledbybooks #StyledByBooksBabies #momreads #momsofbookstagram #momswhoread #twinmom #whatimreading #avonbooks #avonromance #IReadRomance #romancebookstagram #romancebooks #historicalromance https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZLkQtgjtI/?igshid=a0a4s6g2vics

💙 REVIEW + GIVEAWAY! 💙An historical romance with excellent sexy times, fabulous banter, and some mobster vibes? Yes please! My SIL was a huge fan of BRAZEN & THE BEAST by Sarah MacLean & thinks you will be, too. Here's what she had to say about it: . . She grew up on the shipping docks and it shows. Hattie is looking to take over her father’s company and she will do just about anything to prove herself worthy -- up to and including making herself marriageable. What is the best way to do that? Well, a high-priced brothel of course. . . This would have been a perfect plan if her dimwit of a brother wouldn’t have left the best looking man she had ever seen unconscious in the back of her best friend’s ride. Whit, or as you will soon call him, Beast, seems to be foiling all her plans and will be soon opening her eyes. . . This book has it all. Fighting, dresses, friendship, family, love and of course a lot lust and if you are looking for a story this summer to make you smile the second book in the Bareknuckle Bastards is it! . . Head to the blog (link in bio) to learn more AND enter to win a copy! BRAZEN & THE BEAST comes out tomorrow. . . #FearYourNovelReads - #onmondayswereadromance . . #brazenandthebeast #sarahmaclean #bareknucklebastards #romancebooks #bookreview #bookgiveaway #bookblog #bookblogger #ireadromance #romancereader #avonbooks #avonromance #bookgram #mybookstagram #readingspot https://www.instagram.com/p/B0gQa32gb7h/?igshid=1sogm008sidgb

Dear @sarahmaclean , thank you for an older, mature heroine. I adore Hattie very much. #arc #forreview #historicalromance #edelweiss #bareknucklebastards The Lady’s Plan When Lady Henrietta Sedley declares her twenty-ninth year her own, she has plans to inherit her father’s business, to make her own fortune, and to live her own life. But first, she intends to experience a taste of the pleasure she’ll forgo as a confirmed spinster. Everything is going perfectly…until she discovers the most beautiful man she’s ever seen tied up in her carriage and threatening to ruin the Year of Hattie before it’s even begun. The Bastard’s Proposal When he wakes in a carriage at Hattie’s feet, Whit, a king of Covent Garden known to all the world as Beast, can’t help but wonder about the strange woman who frees him—especially when he discovers she’s headed for a night of pleasure . . . on his turf. He is more than happy to offer Hattie all she desires…for a price. An Unexpected Passion Soon, Hattie and Whit find themselves rivals in business and pleasure. She won’t give up her plans; he won’t give up his power . . . and neither of them sees that if they’re not careful, they’ll have no choice but to give up everything . . . including their hearts. OUT JULY 30! https://www.instagram.com/p/B0UkTrNAXE1/?igshid=k5vwieoliwlp
