    About this audiobook

    A beautiful debutante in Regency London seems destined to make a good match. But the Somerset sisters have made courtship and matrimony a deliciously scandalous affair . . .

    Hyacinth Somerset's debut is the most anticipated event of the season, as it will be the reclusive young lady's first public appearance. But within moments of being asked to dance by a dashing stranger, Hyacinth calls him a murderer, then faints dead away! Now all the ton is a aflutter over Hyacinth's baffling shun of their most intriguing newcomer-the wildly handsome Lachlan Ramsey . . .

    Recently arrived from Scotland, Lachlan only wishes to claim his place in society to secure his sister's future. When that is threatened by the accusations of a hapless slip of a girl, he will do anything to protect his family. Yet it appears Hyacinth has only damaged her own hopes, inspiring the label of hysteric-and ultimately inspiring Lachlan to shelter her from harm. Now if only there were a defense for the surge of feeling he has every time Hyacinth turns her gaze his way. 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 . . .

    Contains mature themes.

      I read 4 chapters of this and just wasn't seeing anything that interested me enough to read 19 more. The premise was ridiculous, and peeking at some other reviews it doesn't sound like my opinion would improve much from there. The heroine witnesses a fistfight that ends with a man being knocked down and dragged off and she convinces herself it was a murder. She doesn't tell anyone though, even her sisters days after when they ask why she's been distraught lately. She hides behind pillars at her own debut because she hates being noticed in any way, but then when she sees the "killer" in a crowded ballroom she makes a huge scene openly calling him a murderer. ... I don't really think that's how shyness works. Even after she's revived from fainting she still sticks to her story without a single doubt in her mind. Like murder is the only possible outcome. She's just kind of a ninny.

      Mayhem on the ballroom floor!When Scotland and England meet on the field of love there's always a bit of ruggedness, duplicity and in romance novels, sweet sweet endings. The surprising Miss Hyacinth Somerset meets Lachlan Ramsay and right from the beginning all goes dreadfully wrong. What with Hyacinth swooning and calling Lachlan a murderer the Ton's all a titter, and it seems the reclusive Hyacinth's debut is doomed from the start. And so are Lachlan's chances to bring his sister into society. So is Hyacinth more ... or less a temptresses? And just why did Lachlan leave Scotland?Once again a delightful regency romance from Anna Bradley.A NetGalley ARC

      More or Less a Lady by Anna BradleyThe Somerset Sisters #3Hyacinth Somerset has always been seen by her family as weak and in need of being protected to the point that she is losing sight of who she could be…until Lachland Ramsey comes on the scene, that is. Lachland runs into Hyacinth at a ball and the first words out of her mouth, followed by her swoon, make things a wee bit more difficult for all of them. But surprisingly enough it is Lachland who sees her inner strength and promotes it in ways that make her realize that there is more strength within her than she once thought. This is a story of family and of doing what is best for those you love. It is the story of a woman coming into her own. It is also a love story and it was a fun one to read. Sure, there was a nasty female who though the belle of the season left much to be desired and a rather nasty man who was finally put in place but all in all it was the love story of Hyacinth and Lachland and a fun way to spend the day. It did leave me wondering about Lachland’s brother and sister and whether or not they would be getting stories of their own so I will be on the lookout because I do wonder who they will eventually end up with. Thank you to NetGalley and The Passionate Pen for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
