I adored this book. It was the perfect mix of romance and action and adventure and brains. Felicity was fantastic. I loved that she was a lockpick and that she continued to use it to Devil's frustration. I loved Devil. He was harsh but sweet. He could be very dramatic though and somewhat repetitive. If I have any complaints is that this book is very long and some of it drags. It makes you just want to slap Devil upside the head to get him to stop being so ridiculous. When he's not though, Felicity and Devil burn hot. The banter between them was snarky and witty and hilarious. There's lots of references to folklore and fairy tales and even some myths and legends - which I loved. There's very little I like more than a good fairy tale romance and this delivered - even if that's not what it's billed as. I was intrigued by the backstory of Devil and Beast and Grace and I was fascinated by the idea of them smuggling booze hidden in ice. I would've liked to see more interaction between Felicity and Grace and Beast. Still, thoroughly enjoyable. 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5. ( )

I loved this! I adore the Bareknuckle Bastards’ story and while I’ve already jumped in and read Whit’s tale (I love a BBW heroine), I had to come back for Devil and Felicity. I adored them both and can’t wait for more of this series! I hope the third book will not be the last, and will tie in other, related characters - I am still waiting for Sisely Talbot and Caleb Calhoun’s book! ( )

Probably my favourite Sarah MacLean book that I’ve read so far. Its setting is very different from the usual ‘ton’ romances so it felt fresh and interesting. ( )

Partly wonderful, partly so-so.

Great characters in Devil and Lady Felicity Faircloth, solid backstory, suspense, surprises, but the character development didn't work for me.

YMMV ( )
