Sesily’s used to causing trouble and turning heads in society. She’s been part of scandals before. She’s not worried about causing damage to her reputation because she doesn’t believe in marriage. It doesn’t matter that her four sisters are all happily married and having babies. Marriage isn’t for her.

Plus this way, she has the freedom she desires. Her lack of fortune doesn’t hurt either. Together with her three closest friends, Sesily works to smash the patriarchy and rid society of the worst sort of men. They’re trying to take down one man in particular. He’s proving to be difficult and dangerous.

Sesily keeps running into danger and her friend Caleb keeps rescuing her. Sesily doesn’t need to be rescued, although the kisses are quite nice. Sesily also knows that Caleb is hiding more than he’s sharing. Could his secrets get them both into major trouble?

Readers of Sarah MacLean’s novels have been introduced to Sesily prior to this book. Sesily is one of the Soiled S sisters who first made their appearance in The Rogue Not Taken. While this book is the start of the new Hell's Belles series, there are several Easter Eggs to previous books and several favorite characters do appear. In BOMBSHELL, this feisty sassy woman shines. She doesn’t need Caleb to rescue her. She can rescue herself, and him too, for that matter. The banter between the two main characters is delightful. The friendship between the four women will make readers eager for the next book in the series. If you read historical romance, Sarah MacLean’s books are a must-read.
