When I downloaded this I thought it was going to be a new adult book but it isn't, it's a contemporary erotic romance with characters in their thirties.

Nevertheless I enjoyed the book, how the first half or so is based at the spa retreat and the next 40% (it finishes around the 90& mark) is based back wherever she comes from. The difference between her life at home and the tranquillity of the spa is so different and I have to admit I felt sorry for her, though I don't want to spoilt it for those who haven't read it as to why.

I liked Derek from the first moment he's mentioned, maybe it's the way he looks at her from across the bar and seduces her within a handful of pages

It's hard to write a good review of this book when if I talk about the last half of it, I'll spoil it...

ENCHANTED is Roberta's story. We have already met Roberta in the other stories from The Academy, so we know some of her backstory. This gives a more in-depth view of it, including what life was like in the 1900s for independent young women.

Although I liked Roberta and Nate together, and can see and understand how Roberta thought he was her soul mate, I didn't quite connect with Nate by himself. If Roberta was indeed his soul mate, then I feel he did a grave injustice to her and himself by not choosing their life together and going the easy route.

For me, Ronin was one of the better characters and I was definitely left wanting more about Roberta's mum.

This was well-paced and full of attention to detail which made it a delight to read. A brilliant addition to the series and definitely recommended by me.

If you like Fantasy with an Urban twist, then this is definitely one for you. Sophie is living a 'normal' life until one evening when weirdness erupts and two guys show up in her life. One may be there to help, and one may be there to hinder, but until Sophie figures out what the heck is going on, then she will be none the wiser!

This is the author's debut novel and I am already in love with her intimate and descriptive writing style. It doesn't feel like it was written for the masses, but rather just for "you" alone. This means that you are drawn right into the story and care about the characters, some more than others!

With layer upon layer woven together in a thrilling elemental story, this book will sweep you away and definitely leave you wanting more.

Oh, one thing more I need to say - TEAM REN!!!
