I usually adore everything that Anna Bradley writes, but that particular book just didn’t do it for me and even if it mostly had to do with the heroin, but not only.

Hyacinth was shy and had always been overprotected, but she wished to show the world in general - and her family in particular - that she could stand up for herself. Yet she took her sweet time to make it happen, I felt it was too much and the way her family reacted around her ? Too much also. I couldn’t believe people who ever react this way. The balance wasn’t well done, even if I could understand where it came from. I couldn’t really relate to her or even much like her.

I didn’t like Lachlan much also, he keeps brooding and scowling. I didn’t like his brother at the beginning, too (« I’m such a martyr, I have the right to complain about everything, just beat me »), but he got better near the end, fortunately.

And the villain ? Oh please, I didn’t believe in this situation one single second ! The blackmail itself ? That the blackmailer chose her as a target of all people ? That he wanted to prevent her from doing the only thing that could provide her with the money ? And the thing that happened near the end to reveal him and *she* knows what that detail means ? Not one single second, I said !

Everything felt forced, the characters, the situation…

However, I keep my faith in this author : you can’t write good books every time, she has the right to not be good sometimes and I bet the next will be absolutely great !

The Story in 4 Sentences or Less: Reclusive Hyacinth Somerset is set to make her debut at the most anticipated event of the season but within moments of being asked to dance by newcomer Lachlan Ramsey, Hyacinth calls him a murderer and faints. Lachlan only wants to claim his birthright and place in society to secure his sister’s future but with Hyacinth’s accusation ringing in his ear he fears his plans are in jeopardy until he sees that society has labeled Hyacinth a hysteric and her marriage prospects are all but ruined. Now Lachlan wants to protect her but he also wants to protect himself from the feelings for her that are growing with each encounter, all while making sure a secret from his past doesn’t destroy everything he’s worked for.




Like It? Hate it? Love it? Why? More or Less a Temptress didn’t quite live up to its predecessors and really the fault lies mostly with its heroine, Hyacinth Somerset.

She was dull. Especially in comparison to her spirited sisters! To me Hyacinth was the wallpaper of heroines, there just isn’t anything remarkable about her. She’s mousy, timid, and a fainter. I hate fainters! She didn’t have any charm or real intelligence, she seemed like a child in a woman’s body. She let her family coddle her to the point where it was suffocating and they made excuses for her silly behavior at a ball, AND she let them speak for her the majority of the times she was in their presence, do you know how irritating that is? Especially since it doesn’t change until like the last few chapters. Too little, too late. Hyacinth didn’t really grow as a character and what growth she did have seemed forced and unnatural for the person she was in the beginning. She had nothing of her own to recommend her, no charm, no spirit, nothing to make her stand out in the sea of debutantes, much less her sisters. I found her silly and childish.

If it wasn’t her family coddling Hyacinth it was Lachlan smothering her with his protective tendencies which didn’t make him look too good either. Lachlan could have been a ruggedly handsome, charming guy but with all his protecting of his family AND Hyacinth he seemed more like a frustrated dad with a bunch of kids, including the woman he was supposedly falling for. I had to question his taste like “Dude, she’s basically a child who needs an adult to tell her what to do, think, and say, why would you want that?” I liked Lachlan more than I did Hyacinth but I had to ask myself why he’d want a ceramic doll instead of a woman with her own mind.



Honestly, this is the first time I have felt this way about a book by this author. I normally adore her books and even when they aren’t five stars they’re still good, but this one I really had a hard time with. The shining spot in More or Less a Temptress were the secondary characters, Lachlan’s siblings. They were mischievous, outspoken, and full of life where the MCs were lackluster and forgettable. Ciaran and Isla show promise as hopefully future MCs themselves.

Click It or Skip It? Skip It. If you’re new to this author, start with the first two books and just pretend Hyacinth doesn’t exist. If doll-like heroines are your thing then by all means pick up this book.

Youngest of the Somerset sisters, Hyacinth is delicate, vulnerable, protected. Smothered. While she was only fifteen when her parents’ death sent her into a state of silent shock, she’s older now and constantly being told she’s weak, frail, vulnerable… it’s taken its toll on a girl who is far stronger than she herself realises.

Lachlan Ramsey may be the most intimidating man in London… and that’s even if Hyacinth hadn’t seen him been a man to death and hide the body just a couple of nights before. Or so she thinks. When she sees the killer right in front of her at her debut ball, she can’t stay silent, but it’s an embarrassing mistake that will have serious repercussions for both of them unless she can pull herself together and publicly demonstrate that she’s not only unafraid of Lachlan, but willing to welcome him into her extended family.

An overwrought debutante accusing him of murder in front of half the Ton really isn’t the start to his London adventure Lachlan wanted, especially with his sister’s future at stake. For Isla’s sake, he has to put on a public face of amiability with Hyacinth. Being that close, though, he soon discovers there’s a lot more to the shyest Somerset sister than meets the eye.

Lachlan’s a wonderful hero; protective of those he loves and determined to see them happy no matter what the cost to himself, he’s sharply astute and sees things about Hyacinth even her own family don’t notice. For her part, Hyacinth comes off as a study in contradictions; quiet, until she needs to speak up, shy until she has to be forceful, timid unless she has to be brave. Everything about Lachlan prods her out of her comfort zone, but the brilliant part about this story is Hyacinth’s slowly dawning realisation that she actually doesn’t LIKE her comfort zone. She likes the Hyacinth who can be outspoken, forceful and brave, and that’s the Hyacinth Lachlan gives her the strength to be.

I loved the way this story turned out, the way Lachlan and Hyacinth were so perfect for each other despite such a disastrous beginning. The depths of their characters were really well explored. Also, I fell utterly in love with Ciaran, Lachlan’s gorgeous brother who made it his mission to dance with all the neglected wallflowers at balls. SWOON. Hoping for Ciaran’s story very soon!

Five stars for a charming end to a series I’ve very much enjoyed!

I received a copy of More or Less a Temptress written by Anna Bradley from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. It is the last in her Somerset Sisters series but can be read as a stand alone. However, I recommend reading all three as they are wonderful stories.
Hyacinth Somerset makes her debut in London. A quiet, reserved women, many in London are curious about her as her two older sisters were not quiet, or reserved. Within minutes of her debut however, she publicly accuses a stranger of murder and faints dead away.
Lachlan Ramsey, appears at his brother's London home in the mist of a ball. Recently arrived from Scotland, he demands to see him. But when he is accused of murder by a slip of a girl, he lashes out at her. Lachlan has his secrets, and he means to keep them to protect his family. But to combat the scandal, Lachlan and Hyacinth team up together. With the time spent together, they learn about each other, and themselves. But, can Lachlan set his past aside to give them the HEA they both deserve.
This was 3.5 stars for me. I wasn't a big fan of Hyacinth in the first two books, and it took awhile for her to grow on me in this book. She acts like a timid little girl that is pampered and that is exactly how Lachlan sees her. Anna Bradley did an ok job of showing Hyacinth growth throughout the book with Lachlan pushing her. But, the book makes it appear that Hyacinth is fighting from the beginning from being smother by her family and not once during the book does she have Hyacinth address her family about this. Also, it reads as Lachlan is looking for someone to take care of as a replacement for his family that will grow and ultimately move away. She does, however in my opinion, set up the next book with Isla and makes me curious about that outcome. #MoreorLessATemptress #NetGalley

4.5 Stars

This has been the worst of times for Lachlan Ramsey. He recently lost his father, and his mother is on her deathbed. While protecting his sister, Isla, from a brutal attack, the incident turned tragic, causing him and his family to be ostracized in their home village. If all this weren’t bad enough, his dying mother reveals an earth shattering truth to him, one that turns his world upside down. Lachlan takes his younger siblings with him to begin a new life in England, leaving their beloved Scotland behind forever. His brother, Ciaran, particularly resents him greatly, as he was forced to leave his love behind, as she now rejected him. Ciaran’s drinking and bad temper causes the two brothers to brawl almost every day. To an outsider, it looks as if they are intent on murdering each other, and that’s exactly what a shocked young lady believes she is seeing.

When Hyacinth Somerset escapes the stifling room she’s sharing with her grandmother for a much needed breath of fresh air, she is petrified to see two large men pummeling each other behind the inn. When one of the men drags the other off, she’s sure that she’s witnessed a murder. Too traumatized to tell anyone what she’s seen, she continues on her journey with her grandmother. To her utter shock, she encounters the same man at a ball, where she publicly calls him a murderer and faints dead away.

Lachlan had entered the ballroom of his newly discovered brother, Phineas, the Marquess of Huntington. Before he had a chance to approach his brother and request an audience, he is taken aback by Hyacinth’s beauty, which seems to stand out among all the other lovely English roses. As he approaches her, she makes her shocking proclamation, and chaos ensues. Eventually, as the situation is sorted out, Hyacinth realizes her mistake. Not only that, but Iris, Hyacinth’s sister is married to Phineas, Lachlan’s brother, making them extended family. (sort of)

Hyacinth is a very timid, fearful, anxious person. She has always been wrapped in cotton by her family, who insists on protecting her from any unpleasant situation. She has been of a mixed mind about her debut season, desiring it as almost every young lady does, yet dreading the social situations, where she tends to hide behind columns and avoid dancing. Lachlan is burdened by a secret he’s carrying, as well as the unhappiness he’s caused his family. His demeanor appears fierce and unfriendly, while his size makes him an imposing figure.

Phineas accepts his new family, and tries to find a way to get society to welcome them. He also wants Hyacinth to be forgiven for her outburst and accusations at the ball, and to continue with her season. Surprisingly, it is Lachlan who sees the hidden strength and wit inside Hyacinth, something everyone else is blind to. As she fumbles through the season, enduring snubs, cruel jokes, and insults, it’s Lachlan who is her greatest champion. He’s the one who convinces her she has the strength to stay when her family would like to give it up and leave town.

When Hyacinth made a scene at the ball, I honestly felt that there was no way I was going to like her, as my first impression was that she was immature and somewhat ridiculous. My opinion changed almost immediately as I got to know her, and I began to understand her fears. I could also see that she truly did have a beautiful heart, and a courageous spirit that she just had to bring forward. Lachlan is just the kind of hero I adore – big, strong, gruff exterior, tortured, and he fell so, so hard for Hyacinth.

MORE OR LESS A TEMPTRESS is not only a passionate and tender romance, but a wonderful story of a fearful young lady finding her balance, and a devastated man finding forgiveness and a new home. I love Lachlan’s and Hyacinth’s journey to finding genuine love with each other. Hyacinth’s siblings are such dynamic characters, that I hope their stories are forthcoming. Anna Bradley’s writing just gets better with each book, and this whole Somerset Sisters series has been outstanding.

More or Less a Temptress by Anna Bradley is the third book in the Somerset Sisters Series. This particular novel focuses on the youngest sister Hyacinth and Lachlan Ramsey. I loved reading about the two of them especially because they were so clueless when it came to both of them for each other.

It is time for Hyacinth to have a season in London and despite her shyness and timidness, she is ready. However, nothing is going smoothly, her family is so busily cosseting her that she is on her way to becoming a recluse.

Lachlan Ramsey discovered on his mother’s deathbed that he is the brother to the Marquess of Huntington and Hyacinth's brother-in-law. He is shocked and with the scandal that has happened to his younger siblings, leaves Scotland for England and their newfound family. Through a series of surprises, he falls for for Hyacinth.

Neither Hyacinth nor Lachlan were the most likeable characters. Both characters seemed to be too much - drama perhaps - into their own world. I liked how Hyacinth became more able to stand up for herself as the book continued. I liked how Lachlan recognized how much he had to share with her.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book. More or Less a Temptress by Anna Bradley was a good read

I received this novel from net galley and the publisher. Thank you! Hyacinth  is considered fragile and timid by many, but as the story progresses, she shows that she is a lot stronger that she appears. Lachlan Ramsey is an interesting character. This story is full of mystery, intrigue, and action. Full of interesting and complex characters.

More or Less of a Temptress by Anna Bradley is a scandalous read. A Highland family is torn apart by death and scandal. They flee their only home they know and arrive in England. Their older half brother must find his true brother, a Marquess. Just upon their arrival they find themselves in a sticky situation. A young woman makes the mistake of calling their half brother a murderer. Thinking he killed his younger half brother, a lady faints telling everyone in the England ton he's a murderer. But just as quickly as it escalated, it soon evaporates. The story was full of humor.

The young Scottish brother adds to the intensity of the situations at hand. I could not stop laughing. He didn't know when to shut up or when to behave. But then he proved most charming and kind. Then there, the sister. She's a Scottish woman being welcomed into the England ton as if she were just any lady. Half the times, she wanted to punch her brothers and the other times, she spends defending their honor.

Last but not least, is the older half-brother, Lach. He is surprised by the warm welcome from his older true brother. He didn't expect such kindness or trust. Yet that's exactly what he got. He is a rugged rough edged man with a big heart. He soon finds himself defending his sister-in-law. One who happens to be fussed over as a weak timid lady. However, Lach, finds her anything but weak. She never hesitated in calling him an ass. I found it funny when she did. Part of me wanted to hug for her boldness. 

Anna Bradley created a story full of heat, passion, and enough action to keep me reading all night long. The characters were charming and full of life. I didn't want to stop reading. As soon as I started, I was instantly lost within the book. Overall, I would recommend this heartfelt entertaining story to all readers.

~~Reviewed by Shell~~

Anna Bradley is a new author to me and one I will be reading again. This is book 3 in the Somerset series, and I found you don’t need to read the previous books.

Oh wow what a man Laclan is, he’s tall and very muscular and apparently his hands are huge, on the outside he can be menacing…but underneath is a man who doesn’t give his heart to anyone…but when he does that is when you see the real Laclan. Laclan has a very close relationship with his brother Ciaran and his sister Isla…but sometimes Laclan and Ciaran are known to fight each other.

Laclan, Ciaran and Isla have left Scotland and are travelling to London, to see Phineas Knight the Marquess of Huntington, because on her deathbed Laclan’s mother said something to him which absolutely shocked him and its while they are staying overnight in an Inn that Laclan and Ciaran are having one of their many fights…but unbeknown to them Hyacinth Somerset is watching them.

Hyacinth on the outside is this sweet shy young lady…but don’t let that fool you, oh no she has a temper and it takes a certain man to see the real Hyacinth. Hyacinth is the younger sister of Iris and Violet and it’s at Iris and Finn’s ball that she comes face to face with one of the men that was fighting at the Inn and unfortunately for Hyacinth, she makes a big mistake in front of all of Society. As you can imagine that didn’t go down well.

Overall this is a great book with plenty of laughs, especially from Ciaran who teases Laclan, Isla is outgoing and she doesn’t take any nonsense from her brothers.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

I do enjoy this author's writing style and am glad I found this fresh voice in historical romance.

I'm rating Lachlan and Hyacinth's path to a HEA a four libraries-are-sexy stars...but their journey was not a smooth one. And at times, early on, I just did not think they could ever suit.

Right out of the gate, Lachlan's backstory breaks my heart. The betrayal of a much loved parent, in the Ramseys sibling's case their mother's deathbed confession, was a real hard limit for me. Not my fave plot push *sigh*

Plus, I didn't even like Lachlan The Scowlish or Hyacinth The Overwrought for the first 25% of the book. Nor the brother, Ciaran The D-bag.
But I did love the Ramsey sister, Ilsa The Sensible and, of course, there was Finn The Sensitive!

Then the romantic magic truly began, and Hyacinth's quiet kindness bloomed, she found her backbone, and dared to live beyond the safety of her comfort zone.  Lachlan let go of his own guilt, prejudices, and secrets, making himself see his future in a different light. And these two began to really see each other *le sigh* This author can make her characters' wonderfully redeemable in the end!

I adored the library trysts!! #librariesaresexy

More or Less a Temptress The Somerset Sisters book three by Anna Bradley This is Hyacinth Somerset’s story, and sadly the end of the series. This was by far my favourite in this wonderful series. Lachlan Ramsey is devastated to learn his mother’s secret. Knowing she’s dying she tells him the truth about his heritage. He is in fact English and not Scottish as he believed. Because of certain events he needs to leave Scotland with his siblings. Perfect timing to leave and find his English older brother the Marquess of Huntington, and Hyacinth Somerset’s brother in law. Lachlan meets Hyacinth and instantly falls in love but unfortunately she accuses him of murder and promptly faints. Hyacinth needs to make her debut and after getting the facts straight, she apologizes to Lachlan and promises to give a united front by accepting a dance. The attraction between them is palpable these two had a rough beginning but I’m so glad they found each other. Plenty of ups and downs lots of witty dialogue and of course the famous Somerset scandals, a nasty villain that got what he deserved and a grand HEA. I hope to see a spin-off with Lachlan’s siblings they are both fantastic and need their own happy ending. A truly enjoyable read and I highly recommend the whole series. I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest unbiased opinion.

Swoon Worthy! Characters that will touch your heart and a romance that will leave you breathless. The few books that I have read by Anna Bradley have never disappointed and this one definitely didn’t disappoint either.

Enthralled from the first page “More or Less A Temptress” sucked me in with a story that crackles with sensual energy, characters that are scarred, sexy and wonderfully compelling. A true masterpiece, that was thrilling, and writing so truly beautiful that it stays with you long after you put this book down.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Regency London at it's best engages our senses with this delightful story full of romance and humor as a young debutante makes her debut. Hyacinth, the youngest of the Sommerset sisters, engages in her first dance with Lachlan, newly from Scotland. He has come to claim his rightful place in society but receives a startling accusation from the young miss! To say their first meeting started with a bang is telling it mildly! This pair, although seemed to be so different, were really meant for each other in the end. He helps Hyacinth gain her confidence, after being in the background of her older sisters. Following her as she slowly came out of her shell and seeing her and Lachlan together was a true delight. The characters came to life and brought a smile to my heart. Do not miss this third installment of the Somerset Sisters series. You will be glad you did.

I enjoyed this historical romance. The entertaining plot held my attention very well and the book was well written. I liked both characters but have to say I liked the male lead more. Hyacinth, I thought was a somewhat unique character and for me that was equal parts good and bad. I found it refreshing that she suffered from anxiety, which I think I have only seen in one other historical romance I've read. On the other hand, I was not a fan of the spoiled and babied side of her. I know she had issues but I thought that these two things worked at cross purposes and unfortunately to me it belittled her emotional issues. Lachlan seemed like a genuine good guy and a loving brother. Still, there was a lot to like about the book and it was a good read.

More or Less a Temptress by Anna Bradley is book Three in The Somerset Sisters series. This is the story of Hyacinth Somerset and Lachlan Ramsey. I have read the previous books, but feel you can make this a standalone book.
Hyacinth has lived a very family protective life due to her taking the death of her parents so hard that she lost her voice at one time. Now she struggles with stuttering and her shyness. Lachlan learned on his mother death bed something that can change him, his sister and brother's lives. After his mother death he moves forward to move to the town. Lachlan brother who is dealing with being dumped by a women is drinking and gambling which leads to a violent incident at a Inn where Hyacinth bared witness too. Hyacinth is the last of the Somerset sister to be present to the town. Hyacinth fights to keep her shyness at bay along with her growing interest in Lachlan.
Really have enjoyed this series.

Historical Romance is not my normal genre. Having said that I really did enjoy this book. Hyacinth is a wallflower except maybe even worse then that. She is so shy that she hides herself from anyone that isn't her family. That is until she meets Lachlan. There is something about Lachlan that brings out her other side, the one that is not so timid. The only problem I have with the book and it's a personal one is that it took the whole book before they finally got together and then the book ended. I would have really liked more of the book after they got together but that really is a personal thing and not anything to detract from the book. I would read more in this series and hope there are more to come with Lachlan's sister and brother.


*I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Lochinver Scotland - 1818

Lachlan Ramsey is sitting by his dying mother’s bed. She is telling him that when she dies, he is to take his half brother, Ciaran, and sister, Isla, to the Huntington Lodge estate in Buckinghamshire. There he must see Phineas (Finn) Knight, the Marquess of Huntington. She reveals that he is Lachlan’s older brother. The late Marquess was their father, but the brothers don’t know one another.

Aylesbury England - 1818

Hyacinth Somerset is traveling to London with her grandmother, Lady Chase, for Hyacinth’s first season. Hyacinth’s sister, Iris, is married to the Marquess of Huntington and they will be joining her and her other sisters in London for the season. Hyacinth and Lady Chase are staying overnight at an Inn when Hyacinth creeps out of the room for some fresh air. Outside, she comes upon Lacklan and his brother, Ciaran, fighting. The Scots in Ciaran makes him want to fight when he’s had too much to drink. Lachlan knocks him down and drags him away while Hyacinth, witnessing it, thinks he has killed him.

When Lachlan arrives at the Huntington London home, he pushes his way in to find Finn. When Hyacinth sees Lachlan, she calls him a murderer and faints away. It takes some explaining to resolve who Lachlan truly is. Finn readily accepts him and his half-siblings. Finn graciously suggests that Isla be a part of the season along with Hyacinth. He feels that it may also help Hyacinth with her severe shyness. After Hyacinth apologizes to Lachlan, he begins to tease her.

Hyacinth has always been shy and lacking self-confidence. She used to stutter as a child, but has worked hard to overcome it. Although many people think that Hyacinth is delicate and cannot handle stress, Lachlan doesn’t agree. He sees her as a strong woman and is intent on making her realize just how strong she is. Soon, Lachlan is falling in love with Hyacinth, but he knows that he could never hope to win her because he is hiding a dark secret.

This is yet another good book featuring Hyacinth’s story in Anna Bradley’s The Somerset Sisters series. I found the story easy to follow and enjoyed getting to know Hyacinth. Be sure to read this book and also learn a gambling trick I’m betting you knew knew about. I didn’t!

Copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I don’t take to Hyacinth at first because of the way she allowed her family to fuss over her. Although she was shy and did tend to hide away, she also managed people. I liked her more when she became a stronger person, the side of her character she hadn’t shown to her family. Lachlan was quite the opposite, he didn’t hold back but he had a very caring side and he was able to see through Hyacinth’s disguise. I liked the way their romance developed. Although a little slow at the start, it turned out to be an entertaining read that I enjoyed very much. I received a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hyacinth hides her true self from everyone, including her family. All of this begins to change when a Scotsman and his two siblings show up at her brother-in-law's door. Only he's an Englishman and he's her brother-in-law's brother, the man she saw commit muder the previous night. Can this family avoid scandalous behavior during the season? I think not. An entertaining romance revolving around family, love and keeping secrets.

Review excerpted from my blog post over at FanSciHist (https://fanscihist.wordpress.com/2018/11/12/more-or-less-a-temptress-by-anna-bradley/)

My rating: 4 stars

Library recommendation: Recommended for public library Romance collections.

Warning: Hereafter, you chance spoilers. I will try never to reveal major plot points, but to review any book, you must reveal some parts of the story.

____________________________


Number of titles I have read by this author: 3

Love story speed: Slow(ish) burn

Relationship dynamics: The Titled Second Son (H) / The Hot Mess (h); elements of The Love Triangle.

Sexual content: A smidge. Sex between H/h is romantic, “onscreen,” and explicit.

Triggers: Some man on man violence (including by and against H); some description of unwanted advances and some vague description of attempted rape.

Grammar/Editing: There are some grammatical errors and internal logic/consistency issues in the ARC that will hopefully be cleared up before it is published.

Review: The writing in this book is consistent with that of the first two books in the series (see reviews here and here) and it, again, sticks to a similar formula. For the most part, this installment is well-written, aside from the internal inconsistencies noted above. The pacing is good and the historical details are of a consistent level of accuracy with the first and second books.

Lachlan and Hyacinth are interesting characters and their relationship has a logical and steady progression. Lachlan is consistent, although strangely obtuse at times. There is a lot of focus on his temper and “scowlish” nature, but he is largely a steady and rational character. Hyacinth, by contrast, is a bit all over the map, but she acknowledges that she can be a very different person in different situations. It felt a bit like she was an amalgam of several different characters fighting for dominance. The characters from the previous books make appearances but, like with the second book, you don’t have to read the other books to appreciate this one. The new supporting characters, Ciaran and Isla, were definitely the highlight of the book for me. They were well-written and very intriguing. I have already seen that the next book will feature Isla’s story, which I will certainly read although, if it’s similar to the three Somerset Sisters books, I might not review it*.



Junk food version: As with the other two bags of chips, I consumed this quickly, but then felt a little chipped-out. I switched to chocolate for a couple of months, came back to the chips and felt a lot better about them. Conclusion: best to consume these three bags of chips with a gap of time between to get the most enjoyment out of them.



*As you might have guessed, I read this book, but didn’t feel that I could write a unique enough review having read the other two books really recently. I set it aside for a couple of months, hoping to get a second read in and review written by the time the publication date came, which I have thankfully done, right under the wire.



Full disclosure: I received a free advance review copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
