About this listen
New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean returns with the next Hell’s Belles novel about a chaotic bluestocking and the buttoned-up detective enlisted to keep her out of trouble (spoiler: She is the trouble).
With her headful of wild curls and wilder ideas and an unabashed love of experiments and explosives, society has labeled Lady Imogen Loveless peculiar…and doesn’t know she’s one of the Hell’s Belles—a group of vigilantes operating outside the notice of most of London.
Thomas Peck is not most of London. The brilliant detective fought his way off the streets and into a promising career through sheer force of will and a keen ability to see things others miss, like the fact that Imogen isn’t peculiar…she’s pandemonium. If you ask him, she requires a keeper. When her powerful family discovers her late-night activities, they couldn’t agree more…and they know just the man for the task.
Thomas wants nothing to do with guarding Imogen. He is a grown man with a proper job and no time for the lady’s incendiary chaos, no matter how lushly it is packaged. But some assignments are too explosive to pass up, and the gruff detective is soon caught up in Imogen’s world, full of her bold smiles and burning secrets…and a fiery passion that threatens to consume them both.

I absolutely fell in love with Knockout! Sarah MacLean’s writing is absolutely engaging. I am in love with Historical Romance/Regency but this was a game changer discovering writing like this. Oddly though, as I was listening to Knockout I could not help but wonder if all of her characters could possibly be so good! Her characters are truly exceptional—layered, passionate, and impossible to forget.
Adding to the magic, Mary Jane Wells’ narration was phenomenal. She brought each character to life with remarkable depth, making the audiobook an absolute pleasure to experience.
One thing to note—Audible has not listed Knockout as book three in the series. And it's a shame as I actually take great care to check before listening to avoid NOT beginning at the beginning! So readers unfamiliar with the previous books may unknowingly dive in without getting the full journey. I am hopeful that the characters I have learned a little about in this story won't lose their 'new charm thrill'. Knowing the series order beforehand helps avoid spoilers and enhances the experience.
I have decided just to start at the beginning :) and I look forward to book 4
Absolutely Best New Favorite Author!
