1 " We heard you were thrown out," Felicity said.

He gave a little growl. "It was mutual."

"Mutual," Felicity repeated. "Carriage tossing. "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)

2 " There is nothing fearless about me. I am scared every day. I fear the wide world and the way it stares at me and sneers at me and whispers about me when it thinks I cannot hear. I fear a life of half measures, full of shadows of emotions and hints of possibilities and a thousand things I might have had if only I’d reached a bit farther. "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)

10 " Y entonces apareciste tú. Apareciste y amenazaste
todas las cosas que yo quería. Amenazaste el negocio que había ayudado a
construir, el que había planeado dirigir. Amenazaste el futuro que había
planificado tan cuidadosamente.
Pero lo peor de todo es que me hiciste desear todo lo demás. Todas las cosas
que me había dicho a mí misma que no quería. Hiciste que las quisiera. Y no con
cualquiera. Hiciste que las quisiera contigo. No en lugar
de. Además de. Todo. Cada pedazo de vida que pueda tener. Vibrante y salvaje y
llena de mañanas en el mercado de Covent Garden y tardes en los muelles y
noches en tus hermosas habitaciones, rodeada de velas y libros y cojines de
todos los colores" - Hattie. "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)

11 " It had been three days since she’d left him alone in his home, having destroyed it with the specter of her presence. He couldn’t
do anything in the house—not eat or bathe or light a fucking candle—without thinking of her. Without reliving her, smelling
like almond cakes and looking like sin.


So, he hadn’t gone home in three days. "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)

12 " Whit resisted the urge to put a fist in his brother’s face for no good reason. “He
threatened to kill her.”


“And you stole her business out from under her. You punished her for the sins of men—it’s familiar.” It was the plan Devil
had implemented before he fell in love with Felicity. “Christ, the things we do to women.”


“It’s bollocks,” Whit said. “But how else do I keep her safe?”

“You don’t,” Devil said. “Keeping her safe requires locking her up. And if I know one thing—it’s that women don’t care for
locks. "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)

13 " Anger and shock warred in his narrow gaze. “I completed the task, Lady Henrietta. Three times, by my count.”

“But I didn’t!” she cried, feeling like a proper failure. Dear God—all that pleasure he’d delivered her and she couldn’t do
the same for him? Was she that undesirable that he could simply ignore the pleasure that had nearly destroyed her?
She’d never been so humiliated. "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)

14 " No hay nada intrépido en mí. Tengo miedo todos los días. Temo al
ancho mundo y la forma en que me mira y se burla de mí y susurra sobre mí
cuando cree que no puedo oír. Temo una vida a medias, llena de sombras de
emociones y pistas de posibilidades y mil cosas que podría haber tenido si
hubiera llegado un poco más lejos" - Hattie "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)

15 " Removing his coat, Devil went to his wife, handing it to her, along with his walking stick. Felicity’s eyes lit with confusion
and then delighted understanding. “You’re to fight?” she asked, breathless.


“You could be a touch less excited by the prospect of me in the ring, wife.”

“Do you plan to lose?”

Devil’s affront was palpable. “I do not.”

Felicity’s grin widened. “I shall be certain to give you a proper prize when you win, then. "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)

16 " A handful of senseless underdogs immediately lined up to have their asses handed to them, clearly thinking that Devil, long
and lean and rarely in the ring, was an easier battle than Beast. They were wrong.


Devil pulled his shirt over his head, and a cluster of women to Whit’s left dissolved into sighs. Not that his brother had
eyes for any of them; he was already hauling his wife close, lifting her off her feet, and kissing her thoroughly before turning
to the crowd, arms wide, smile on his brutally scarred face. "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)

17 " She traced her fingers over the darkest part of the bruise. “I think you might have broken a rib.”

He nodded. “It wouldn’t be the first.”

Her brows shot together. “I don’t like that.”

Pleasure was not enough of a word to describe the way her stern reply coursed through him, untethered and electric. He sucked
in a breath at the sensation, wanting to assuage her worry. “They heal. "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)

18 " No digas eso. Si hay algo peor que saber que estás fuera de lugar, es que te
digan que encajas. Y, además,
cuando naces como la antítesis de todo lo que el mundo valora, aprendes a
adaptarte. Aprendes a ser el perro. A todo el mundo le gustan los perros". - Hattie. "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)

19 " They call me Beast.”

She shook her head. “That’s”—she searched for the word—“ludicrous.”

“Why?”

“Because . . . you’re the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen.” “You’re the most beautiful man anyone’s ever seen. Empirically. "

― Sarah MacLean , Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #2)
