I absolutely adored The Beast of Beswick, it was funny, sexy, smart, witty, and I couldn't fly through the pages fast enough! I pretty new to the romance genre, and even more new to historical romance, and I devoured this in two sittings. I like how the author was able to give her heroine, Astrid, plenty of gumption and agency while still recognizing the constraints of women's behavior for the time. The sister dynamic was also very nice to see, especially later in the book as we see how Astrid's example has served her younger sister, despite their different dispositions. The Duke's valet and butler were some of my favorite characters, their long-suffering yet incredibly loyal natures provided a lot of humor and gives you the first glimpse that the Beast's bark may be worse than his bite.
