Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker: A Hell's Belles Novel | Sarah MacLean
19 posts | 19 read | 7 to read
New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean follows her highly acclaimed Bombshell with Heartbreaker, featuring a fierce, fearless heroine on a mission to steal a duke’s secrets…and his heart. HEARTBREAKER Hell’s Belles, Book 2 A Princess of Thieves Raised among London’s most notorious criminals, a twist of fate landed Adelaide Frampton in the bright ballrooms of Mayfair, where she masquerades as a quiet wallflower—so plain and unassuming that no one realizes she’s the Matchbreaker…using her superior skills as a thief to help brides avoid the altar. A King of Reputation Henry, Duke of Clayborn, has spent a lifetime living in perfection. He has no time for the salacious gossip that arises every time the Matchbreaker ends another groom. His own reputation is impeccable—and the last thing he needs is a frustrating, fascinating woman discovering the truth of his past, or the secrets he holds close. A Royal Match When the two find themselves on a breakneck journey across Britain to stop a wedding, it’s impossible for Clayborn to resist this woman who both frustrates and fascinates him. But late-night carriage rides make for delicious danger…and soon Adelaide is uncovering Clayborn’s truths, throwing his well-laid plans into chaos…and threatening to steal his heavily guarded heart.

This was recommended from my #auldlangspine match @DGRachel - but I‘m very hit or miss with romance. I‘m not sure if it was timing, or just me but I did not really love this. I know many people do- because it only came last week from digital library wait list.

DGRachel I‘m sorry this one was a miss for you. I‘m picky about romance, too. I have my favorite authors and it‘s tough for me to try new ones because so many of them, even super popular authors, just don‘t work for me. 3w
Vansa Sarah MacLean, in my opinion, has not written a good book after Nine rules to break! All the others are just...so mediocre 3w

Well I‘m done with this series. I didn‘t really like the first book but I finished it because I am a fan of the author (both her earlier books and podcast). However, this in the series the heroines are just mean. This one had a great start and set-up, but the banter - rather than being funny and sexy - is just mean spirited. I am all for a feminist romance novel, but it should it be at the detriment of the romance?โฌ‡๏ธ

Nessavamusic This series would have worked better as a caper of badass women, rather than being marketed as a romance. Bummed to have yet another DNF! 4w

A big improvement over the Bareknuckle Bastards series. Not my favorite MacLean, but enjoyable. Listened to this for February #Roll100. @PuddleJumper

I'm not saying I reread this because I'm a sucker for heroes like Clayborn and love the antics of the Belles, but I'm not not saying that either. #reread #historicalromance

It started out pretty well, but then I got a bit bored in the middle. Not bad but not the best. But Mary Jane Wells is a fabulous narrator, one of my faves.

Book 3 for #winterreadathon - even though it‘s a non-holiday book, it‘s a library loan so I made an exception

Finished this last week. I was sick and needed a quick easier read, so I picked this up. This was my #doublespin for this month.

This is the 2nd book in the Hell‘s Belles series. The only thing that stopped this from being 5 stars was the fact that there was like 5 pages where Addie and Henry go back and forth with her being worth it. It was just a bit annoying and too long.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 4mo

Took a sick day from work. Been fighting a sinus infection all week and just couldn‘t handle today.

So the day calls for historical romance, Harry Potter and the couch ๐Ÿ’š.

Book 2 of the Hell‘s Belles series is even better than the first! Adelaide and Henry‘s love story is a delight and the banter is amazing. I love how the Belles show up for each other and the undercurrent of feminism, strength, and perseverance. These women are bad assets and their men love them for it. And the peek at Imogen and Tommy‘s story at the end? Chef‘s kiss!

Holy CATS, Batman. This book was the perfect combination of sizzle and whump. I am dying and also dead and also in love with the Duke of Clayborn. #historicalromance

Sarah MacLean kills it, as usual. Loved her latest and so happy her novels seem to always come out right around my birthday, they‘re always a gift to myself! I‘m less enamored with my broken splinted fingers ๐Ÿ˜ž Some unsolicited advice - if your cat starts puking on the bed in the middle of the night, sometimes it‘s better to let him do it so you don‘t get tangled in the sheets and fall flat on your face, and somehow break your fingers ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Jas16 Oh no! That sounds so painful! Wishing you a speedy recovery. 7mo
DGRachel OMG. That‘s terrible! I hope you heal quickly. At least you had Addie and Clayborn to take your mind off the pain. 7mo
cariashley @Jas16 @DGRachel thank you so much! And yes, Addie and Clayborn were the best distraction โ˜บ๏ธ 7mo

Rule number one is that you gotta have fun. OR Rule number one is that you don't fall for a Duke while on a chase through the countryside to rescue a women on her way to Gretna Green before her father gets to her first to murder her. No one said you can't have a little casual flirtation along the way though. Then again, that may be a little wordy.

Sarah MacLean does not disappoint. Addie‘s book is as brilliant, fun, and exciting as Addie herself. I love the Belles. The writing is flows wonderfully, the plot is entertaining, and Adelaide and her Duke are almost as explosive as anything Lady Imogen concocts in her lab. Full of laughs, brawls, races from England to Scotland, and more than one night at an inn with only one bed, Heartbreaker is not to be missed!
