She’s part of a club of women who try to punish the unpunishable men of the Ton. Here we have Sesily, who is the daughter of a recently knighted dude and thus grew up working class. MacLean usually has some kind of high-concept fun club of main characters (this time its a completely anachronistic and unbelievable group of ladies from the Ton that go on secret missions), some lovely heated scenes, and kind of run-of-the-mill heroes, but also sometimes forays into historical niches that are fun to read. I’ve only read the Bareknuckled Bastards series before, and it you liked that, you’ll love this start of the Hell’s Belles series (yep, we get prior couple cameos which is fun). So you kind of have to know what you’re getting into with a MacLean book. Bombshell (Hell’s Belles, #1) by Sarah MacLean (Goodreads Author)
