Mysteries and suspense spiced with romance and majestic Greek islands, November 11, 2014
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Greek Isles Collection (Kindle Edition)
Ms. Sefer’s books will transport you to the land of Greek Gods, modern ones—ruggedly handsome men and stunning intelligent women that will keep you riveted from the first paragraph to the last page, as they weave in and out of danger and pathos, with each of the stories set on a gloriously beautiful Greek island.
If you love a good mystery filled with twists and turns, spiced with romance and magnificent Greek settings, then this is the collection you’ve been waiting for.
When you finish reading a book you enjoyed the end is bittersweet, because you savored the read, but it ended. This is the way you feel when you finish Ms. Sefer’s books, however, you’re in luck because you can get The Greek Isles Collection, a series of three of the author’s wonderful books. Each one is masterful, with great attention to detail, character and plot development. I also particularly enjoyed the majestic settings, and the different backgrounds of the protagonists.
Highly recommended!

Each one of the mystery romance novels in this collection is a great read with lots of action and suspense, full of twists and turns to keep you glued to the pages. The characters were fascinating and the dialogues sharp. But above all, I enjoyed the descriptions of the islands—that was the icing on the cake!

Amazing Collection, November 9, 2014
By
Thomas Baker (Santiago, Chile) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Greek Isles Collection (Kindle Edition)
What an amazing collection! I have read all of these books from this wonderful author. I look forward to reading more from Angel Sefer in the future. I have collected my reviews of the books in this collection below:
Spellbound In His Arms:
Engaging & Enjoyable
I am a person who loves to travel, to experience language, culture, traditions, customs, and foods that are different to my own. I particularly enjoy reading books in which the author merges unique places into a powerful backdrop to the story, thereby adding a flavor that enhances the story itself. That is the case with this book, "Spellbound In His arms", by Angel Sefer.
(Quote) "In this series, while sharing with my readers the development of the romance between my hero and heroine, and the unfolding of the mystery, I also take the opportunity to share with them the unbelievable experience of visiting some of the most enchanting Greek islands - places of impeccable beauty, where nature exists lavishly in hundreds of shades of green and blue, and in which centuries of Greek tradition coexist harmoniously with cosmopolitan activity." (end of quote)
As you can tell, this was a book that grabbed my attention. I was captivated from beginning to end. In fact, I did not put this book down until I had read the last page, in one sitting. A highly engaging, enjoyable read for fans of the genre. I look forward to reading more from this author.
**I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
Deadly Secrets:
The Ultimate Dilemma
"Deadly Secrets" by Angel Sefer is a story that merges mystery and romance in a hybrid genre that sets a new standard. This novel is set in a fabulous location, namely, The Greek Island of Mykonos. The protagonist, Helena, goes to visit her aunt Sophie. While there, she meets Dimitris, a character who is quite likeable. With the romantic elements in place, we now turn to the mystery of her father's disappearance many years ago. A diary serves as a source to drive the plot forward. Slowly, but surely, a realization dawns upon the reader. Finally, we come to question whether or not Dimitrius is everything that he appears to be on the surface. For me, that is the most significant dilemma that Helena must deal with in this book, ultimately... Highly recommended.

The Heiress of Santorini:
An intriguing mystery romance set in a dazzling setting with dark hues of violence
"The Heiress of Santorini" (The Greek Isles Series Book 3), by Angel Sefer, is a well written, compelling read. This novel has it all: mystery, action, suspense, romance, and breathtaking descriptions of a paradise with dark hues of violence. When a story crosses genres like this, the result is a wider appeal to a larger reading audience. If you are a fan of mixed genre literature, with action, suspense and romance all added to the mix, you will enjoy this book.
The characters and plot are compelling. We have a billionaire client who drives Alexandra, a breathtakingly beautiful insurance manager, over the edge. But Alex cannot help herself and lusts after Mark. The action is non-stop, the suspense is sensual, the deceit is delicious, and the murder is malicious. Highly recommended.

Spellbound by Greek Isles' beauty and mystery, November 9, 2014
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Greek Isles Collection (Kindle Edition)
After reading "Spellbound in his Arms", I knew I wanted this entire series in one place, so bought "The Greek Isles Collection" with much expectation. Transported to the beautiful Mediterranean isles, I felt as though being right there, investigating, unveiling mysterious past or falling in love together with the lively, lovely characters, among the breathtaking scenery and a thrilling suspense.
Jackie's and Michael's passionate yet complicated relationship that blossomed so thrillingly in the first book had me on the edge of my seat. I thought it could not get any better, but when in the second book I met Helena and her quest to learn the truth about her father, with Captain Dimitris Nikolaou sailing in to complicate it all, I knew I'm addicted to this series. By that time I waited for the third book book impatiently, and rushed to buy the collection the moment it came out.
Mystery and sizzling romance in the most breathtaking scenery, so delightfully different from the usual romance novels; suspense, deceit and intrigue; smooth writing and masterly story-telling - it's all there, in this wonderfully refreshing collection of books that I will reread more than once, I suspect.
Highly recommended!!!

Great collection, November 7, 2014
This review is from: The Greek Isles Collection (Kindle Edition)
"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.
Caught by the very attractive detective Michael Apolstolou she soon joins forces with him but the relationship between them remains 'complicated'.
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 more 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, the corrupt and the powerful, the evil doers and their intrigues, distrust and often unhappy lives.
Romance and mystery lovers are being served well here with great suspense and a strong romance between the two main characters taking centre stage in an exciting and passionate crime novel.
Great entertainment.
"The Heiress of Santorini" by Angel Sefer is another excellent instalment in her Greek Island Series. In a very Greek tradition the book is a firework of suspense, intrigue, secrecy, jealousy, revenge, deceit and desire.
Alexandra Stewart is sent to Santorini on an important and prestigious work assignment but it throws her into a net of conflicts of interest and confronts her with some of her family's past and cast out family members.
This story is well plotted written with excellent passion, chemistry and suspense. The sense of mystery and secrets to be uncovered starts on page one and never lets off. Like the Greek islands, each book in this series has its own flavour and this one is as explosive and simmering as a volcano.
A must read for fans of romantic suspense.
