Spellbound in his Arms is just the book for you Note this is a sweet romance English 4. 0Angel Sefer keeps the reader intrigued and on the edge of their seats as this story unfolds Read full review in the October 2013 issue of InD tale Magazine English Spellbound in His Arms by Angel Sefer is a great romantic suspense story set on the beautiful Greek island of Corfu The story throws the reader in at the deep end with investigative reporter Jackie Alexander being caught breaking and entering in a mansion while trying to find information about a series of accidents The suspicious events are eliminating heirs to a family fortune in Greece and Jackie s wants to prevent further deaths by taking matters in her own hand. The story is written so smoothly and well paced that I hardly noticed the time passing The chemistry between the characters is right there from the start but Sefer has thankfully added a few threads to the complex plot to keep readers intrigued and involved beyond the romance story. With a love for detail the author describes the life of the rich.
I can t even finish this book It s like it was written by a teenager or even younger It s choppy the descriptive words are forced and the editing errors are driving me NUTS Errant commas all over where they have no reason to be then where there should be commas there aren t any And FOOT PETAL Really Does no one edit books any I could go on and on And then there were all of the over exaggerated reactions It was like reading a badly acted and badly written soap opera Yuck This was a really pathetic attempt at a book English Spellbound in His Arms by Angel SeferWhen I was growing up I could not wait for the next Helen MacInnes novel to appear on the shelves of our school library When I discovered Spellbound by Angel Sefer I realized I had found another author who had the ability to blend romance mystery and an interesting location into a captivating plot The main character in Spellbound is an investigative reporter named Jackie Alexander who travels from Atlanta to Greece to investigate a dangerous and puzzling mystery Her visit to the Demiris estate on the Island of Corfu immediately plunges her into jeopardy Jackie needs to examine some documents locked away in the mansion but encounters an intruder on her arrival at the isolated estate The intruder is Michael Apostolou a police detective who has the same intentions as Jackie but apparently for a different reason Jackie and Michael are instantly attracted to each other but there are too many unanswered questions to allow them to trust each other This book is fast paced but surprisingly easy to read I found myself racing through the pages then scrolling back to reread and savor each twist and turn in the plot The geographic details supply just the right amount of information to make you aware of the exotic surroundings without slowing down the flow of the story Romance suspense and mystery supply the reader with an interesting combination that is hard to beat Five stars from me for a story well done This debut novel from Ms Sefer is one you don t want to miss I am looking forward to many others as this series continues English I hate giving bad reviews but this 1 2 star book needed a LOT of work A beta reader would ve been a great help in fixing the confusing plot There were so many nondescript characters and names that half the time I didn t know who was who or what in the world was going on Half the dialogue was ridiculous meaningless filler The other half was overdramatic and forced I was tempted to start a drinking game every time I read What now I never did understand what Jackie hoped to accomplish by visiting the mansion on her uncle s behalf If she was trespassing and worried about being caught by the police why did she bring food to stock the fridge and plan to stay a few days Note that she does this just after a miraculous recovery from a car wreck This is just one example of the conflicting information contained in the book I understand that she wants to find the man responsible for killing the Demiris heirs as does Michael but Jackie was hopelessly stupid and repeatedly walked directly into danger Don t get me started on how many times she swooned and fainted away from the stress she put herself through I actually felt a little sorry for Michael having to save her over and over and over The romance was non existent and the law enforcement came across like the Keystone Cops The action was unrealistic and everything moved WAY too fast As a reader I need a chance to breathe and absorb what s happening This story is written like a bad fanfic and I was really disappointed From the summary I had expected so much better Thankfully I only spent 99 cents on it English I m so frustrated with this book DO NOT TRUST HIGH RATINGS Ok no seriously what on earth is going on with these 5 star ratings There are many books where I see a high rating so give it a shot and then realize its probably a case of its not you it s me However this is definitely not the case Something is seriously going on here with the amount of people that gave this a high rating and every time someone rates it poorly another high rating gets added If you don t think that fishy as hell I don t know what is. Moving onto the story itself This book as a whole I think was written poorly and story wasn t executed properly Am I being harsh Definitely but I have to be straightforward when it comes to my reviews I d rather be honest then add fluff to mislead people Trust me if you want a good review don t look far I m sure theres one right below or above mine note the sarcasm The main reason I picked this book up was because I was feeling a little bit of romantic suspense at the moment In all good suspense novels there is a case to solve and the story gradually builds up until you discover who s the culprit However in this book there was no way to even guess what was going on because the story was all over the place The two main characters Michael and Jackie had no chemistry whatsoever and there was barely any romance Their whole relationship was just weird It was neither insta love or a gradual build up it was just there if that makes sense Now onto the heroine I assumed she would be bad ass because of her spirit and drive to help her family solve a mystery but instead her character kept throwing herself in stupid situations that required her to be saved Overall I didn t connect with the characters or the story and I think the author needs to execute her work with a little thought My intent isn t too bash the author because writing a book in itself is hard work but its not her writing or story that is ticking me off Its these damn ratings that are misleading people to buy a book I m just taking a guess i m not sure if this is the case but I m going to venture and say a street team is behind this A street team is a group of followers the author has that keep rating his or her books with high ratings which throws off the balance of what honest people are reviewing and writing This has been common in the book world and I think its just sad that people are resorting to stuff like this to get people to buy their books Its not fair and disappointing Maybe there really is no street team but I know for a fact something weird is going on with the amount of high ratings there are English Loved the book I downloaded Spellbound in your arms looking for wonderful novel intrigued by the title and the beautiful book cover I fell in love with Angel Sefer s novel She has a wonderful writing style and the plot was extremely appealing She interweaves with an amazing skill mystery danger romance and a lot of unexpected twists and turns I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery The story takes place on a beautiful Greek Island Jackie a beautiful investigative reporter and Michael a very attractive detective find themselves thrown together in this intriguing plot Winner of the Crowned Heart Award for Excellence from InD tale Magazine Finalist for the 2014 RONE Award in the Mystery Category Reporter Jackie Alexander and Detective Michael Apostolou are forced to work together to investigate the mysterious deaths of the heirs to the incredible fortune of Greek tycoon Andreas Demiris But their suspicions and unanswered questions are devouring them just like their rising passion for each other Spellbound in His Arms The Greek Isles Series 1 Multiple award winning bestselling author Angel Sefer was born in Athens Greece and has studied and worked on both sides of the Atlantic She holds a degree in Economics and divides her time between the corporate world and her real passion writing mystery thriller and suspense romances where passion flares and danger lurks around every corner.

Great entertainment English I know you shouldn t judge a book its cover but I fell for this book when I first saw it anyway I love how the author describes the characters falling in love at first sight I completely believe in this and have experienced it myself It s a wonderful feeling that is difficult to capture but the author does it well This book also made me fall in love with Corfu the Greek Island where the hero and heroine spend on a roller coaster ride of kidnapping passion daring escapes and searching for hidden treasure. I found the romance and thrills blended well together It s not always easy to write a book that appeals to both romance fans and people who enjoy a good mystery thriller but I think the author pulled it off I m looking forward to reading in the Greek Isles Series English I really enjoyed this book This romantic suspense story takes place in the beautiful Greek island of Corfu The minute I started reading I was immediately drawn in The author immediately captures your attention and you can t help but read on desperate to find out the answers for yourself Definitely kept you guessing and turning the pages throughout the entire book I liked the characters in this book Michael and Jackie fall in love at first sight Both being strong willed and finding themselves under uncertain circumstances they try to ignore their feelings Especially since they don t trust each other Jackie feels that Michael isn t being honest and is hiding his own secrets Michael doesn t know who he can trust any and being around Jackie and having all sorts of feelings towards her is affecting his judgement Having no choice they are forced to work together to figure out the mysterious deaths of the heirs to a Greek tycoons fortune The ending for me was a bit rushed When I read the last page I was like what That s it I want For me everything was summarized in the epilogue There was definitely some potential for a few chapters with a bit detail on Michael and Jackie s story For this I gave it 4 stars Overall it was still a good read and I would definitely recommend this book English.
