Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean
returns with a blazingly sexy,
unapologetically feminist new series, Hell’s Belles, beginning with a bold, bombshell of a heroine, able to dispose of a
scoundrel—or seduce one—in a single night.After
years of living as London’s brightest scandal, Lady Sesily Talbot has embraced
the reputation and the freedom that comes with the title. No one looks twice
when she lures a gentleman into the dark gardens beyond a Mayfair ballroom…and
no one realizes those trysts are not what they seem.
No one, that is, but Caleb Calhoun, who has spent
years trying not to notice his best friend’s beautiful, brash, brilliant
sister. If you ask him, he’s been a saint about it, considering the way she
looks at him…and the way she talks to him…and the way she’d felt in his arms
during their one ill-advised kiss.
Except someone has to keep Sesily from tumbling into
trouble during her dangerous late-night escapades, and maybe close proximity is
exactly what Caleb needs to get this infuriating, outrageous woman out of his
system. But now Caleb is the one in trouble, because he’s fast realizing that
Sesily isn’t for forgetting…she’s forever. And forever isn’t something he can
risk.

Goodreads review by Heather K (dentist in my spare time) on December 01, 2021

I read a good amount of Sarah MacLean, so I know what to expect with her romance books. Bombshell was pretty in line with my expectations: in some ways it was very compelling, and in other ways utterly ridiculous.
