Bombshell

 In this blog post, I reviewed Sarah MacLean's Bombshell, the first installment in the Hell's Belles historical romance series This daring new tale is dangerously sexy and breath-taking in every page. For Lady Sesily Talbot, she's the youngest and unmarried among her sisters. She lives a free life and is out on a mission to right the wrongs with her gang of lady friends who have a bone to pick with the crooked elite in society. But at the night at the ball, she ran into Caleb Calhoun, a former flame from two years, and an American with a secret to hide. They kept run into each other and chasing each other.  But though they had so much animosity between each other from the past, they both have a sole mission they conspired to work on together: to bring down Viscount Coleford. For Sesily, it's for he's robbing the helpless by making them poor; for Caleb, he wanted to keep his secret identity to himself and avoid his capture at all cost and with good reason. Caleb couldn't stay away from Sesily and didn't want to put her in danger. He loved her too much to do it. But if he knew Sesily, she had a trick up her to sleeve to bail him out of a jam and to make things remotely possible for them with a fitting ending.

 This was a terrific introduction to this new historical romance series. It was riveting, compelling, and scintillating to read in one fantastic novel. I cared about Sesily and how she had a careless demeanor and to live precariously to however it suited and fitted her. I loved her brood of friends and this selfless mission to bring their form of justice to dirty aristocrats in society. I've found Caleb dashing and handsome, who had a good reason to keep her safe, while he knew the odds were  up against them from getting together in the first place. I loved the location from the pubs to the castles in 1800s England for the scenic  settings. The theme of the story is love can set you free when revenge is best-served... cold.

If you love heart-stopping historical romance with non-stop action, plenty of romantic drama, tons of intrigue and spine-tingling goosebumps along the way, Hell's Belles is the book for you.
