If only there were a way to make her his—while keeping the true secret in his past from destroying everything—and everyone—he cares about . . .
3 STARS
More or Less a Temptress is the third book in The Somerset Sisters. I am a fan of Anna Bradley and the sisters, but Hyacinth did not entice me whatsoever. The reader is led to believe that Hyacinth's entire life had been muted, uninspired until the arrival of Lanchlan. Where was her validation of self? Lanchlan changes everything for Hyacinth. She seems to awaken from a colorless realm, as she falls in love with Lanchlan. I thought Lanchlan was a fine character, but I did not believe the two made a great match. Although this book was not my cup of tea, I believe fans of the series will still find it interesting to delve deeper into Hayacinth's story.
