I have not read the first book in the O'Bannon Sisters series, however this did not affect my reading of The Secret Ingredient for a Happy Marriage.

Whilst I liked this story, I didn't love it. And for me I think I put that down to our leading lady Nora. I wanted to like her, but for about 80% of the story I found her rigid and unlikable. I just wanted to pull the stick out of her bum and tell her to stop being so judgemental. I could understand why she was upset, but hooley dooley she needed to eat a snickers! However, this could just be me.

I liked the way the book dealt with addiction - not the usual drugs but this time gambling.

I do like the O'Bannon women -strong and feisty. However, in this story I drifted more towards Maggie (who I am thinking is the next book in the series?) more than our leading lady Nora.

I will be reading more of this series, and am going back to read the first book soon.
