Happy Launch
Day to my author friend Angel Sefer for “Spellbound in His Arms”!
As and avid writer/reader, I am always delighted when
I discover a book that is interesting from the first paragraph to the last
page. I was not disappointed when I was given the opportunity to review ‘Spellbound
in His Arms’ by friend and fellow writer Angel Sefer. This is a wonderful book
with all of the elements that drive a good story and make it become real in the
mind of the reader. You can read my review at the end of this article.
From the back
of the book:
A mansion
full of secrets…
From the moment investigative reporter Jackie
Alexander steps foot inside the mansion dominating the Demiris estate on the
beautiful Greek island of Corfu , her suspicions are on high alert. This is no ordinary assignment… the
life of her beloved cousin, Aphrodite, is in grave danger, as the heirs to the
incredible fortune of Greek tycoon Andreas Demiris are dying one after the
other, under mysterious circumstances.
A man with
secrets of his own…
The only person who can help Jackie is Michael
Apostolou, former Special Forces Officer and one of the finest detectives on
the Athens police force. Jackie realizes soon enough that despite her simmering
desire for him, she can’t really trust him, as the seductive detective seems to
be investigating those mysterious deaths for reasons of his own.
Trusting the
wrong person can be deadly…
Jackie and Michael are forced to work together, but
the suspicions and unanswered questions are devouring them, just like their
rising passion for each other. In games like this, the stakes are high and the
players are ruthless. When Jackie is kidnapped by the most dangerous player of
all, time is running out as Michael is forced to choose
between jeopardizing his mission and personal quest for justice, or the life of
the gorgeous intruder of his heart…

When 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.
