3 Stars!! This is a new spin-off series, ‘The Chessmen: Masters of Seduction’ and it was entertaining, if a bit cheesy at times, and can be read as a standalone. ‘The Chessmen’ consist of Rook, Bishop(this books main character), Knight and King, who was the main character from ‘The Duchess Hunt’ which was the 2nd book in the ‘Once Upon a Dukedom’ series. The main characters in this book are Bishop and Marguerite/Daisy. I thought it was sweet bordering on creepy how much Bishop misses his Mom and the things he does because of his love for her. Honestly, I love my Momma more than life itself too, she’s my best friend, but Bishop came off as being a bit obsessed with his Mum. Daisy was sweet and a strong lead female. A few twists and surprises I didn’t see coming that kept me reading this book. Right when I thought the book was wrapping up, something happens and the book picks up again. All in all, an okay read. *I received this at no charge & I voluntarily left this review.*
