Mysteries and suspense spiced with romance on majestic Greek islands


Reviewed in the United States
After reading "Spellbound in his Arms", I knew I wanted this entire series in one place, 
so bought Ι "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 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!!!


Reviewed in the United States
First, I have to say the covers are exquisite.
I read the second and third books first, as you do sometimes. Now, after reading the entire
collection, you can read each book as a stand alone however I would recommend that you 
purchase the series. These books will take you to some of the most beautiful locations in
the world, as well as weave in a few surprises. The stories all have a feeling of mystique, 
romance and suspense.


Reviewed in the United States
Tearing through these three books by Ms. Sefer, I could definitely see an emerging pattern.
All three works had great romances, of course, but far more than that, each tale was 
movie-like riveting, from beginning to end. With the wonderful backdrop of the Greek Isles,
where the sparkling Aegean, the sparse, striking white buildings, and the fine Greek cuisine
all played hosts to family secrets, inheritances, and an old, unsolved murder, I couldn’t turn
the pages fast enough. DEFINITELY 5*!


Mysteries and suspense spiced with romance on majestic Greek islands 
   Verified Purchase
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!

A fast-paced, romantic page turner set in the heart of Greek summer

Thrilled about all those 5-star reviews on my mystery romance novel DEADLY SECRETS, I wanted to share some of them with you:



5.0 out of 5 stars
A fast-paced, romantic page turner set in the heart of Greek summer

This is the second book in the Greek Isles Series and I must say, I thought it was even better than Spellbound in His Arms. Deadly Secrets was simply un-put-downable.

Helena arrives in the cosmopolitan Greek island of Mykonos on a long holiday from London in order to find her roots and hoping to unravel an old family mystery too. In the process, her life and the life of others are put in danger, and she also falls irrevocably in love. This reads in many ways like a Harlequin romance; the dislike between the two main protagonists, the second guessing, the misunderstandings, etc. It is not advisable to read this if you are put off by these elements. But, if like me, you enjoy this type of romance, then do not hesitate.

If anything, this book will transport you to the heart of the Greek summer in the Cyclades; the descriptions of the town of Mykonos are vivid and made me feel like I was back there. This book will highly intrigue and enthuse you, especially as the family secrets are many, the mystery intense and the villain is disclosed at the very end. Angel Sefer’s masterful story-telling will have you guessing all the time, enticing you to keep reading. I know I lost sleep over this, reading far longer into the night than I meant to. A cracking good read!


5.0 out of 5 stars
Exotic and Idyllic Setting
I was almost as captivated by the exotic and idyllic setting (Mykonos, Greece) as the characters, Helena and Captain Dimitris. Sizzling hot attraction, murder and treachery all take place in this fascinating backdrop. The first book was amazing and this one was even better. On to the next.

Spectacular and heartwarming

 


“The third novel in The Greek Isles Series by Angel Sefer was very daring, dashed with forbidden romances and served with a great amount of hatred, revenge, and regrets…

Sefer entertains the readers with a series of entanglements that gives the novel a chilly air of suspense. She shocks the readers with the cruelty of the acts of violence that occur within supposedly bold Greek families where pride, tradition, and legacy is revered. The message on forgiveness and maintain strong family bonds despite conflict and tragedy is what really makes the novel spectacular and heartwarming.” – San Francisco Book Review


If you would like to check out “The Heiress of Santorini”, the novel is available as an eBook or paperback on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Kobo and other fine booksellers everywhere.

Passion and Treachery Ignite in this Spellbinder


Thrilled about all those 5-star reviews on my mystery romance novel DEADLY SECRETS, I wanted to share some of them with you:

Passion and Treachery Ignite in this Spellbinder!
I have been to the Greek Isles and the seduction of the backdrop in and of itself is enough to tempt the reader to give up everything just to live there. But, to give it all up to uncover the mysterious past without knowing what may come of it all? And under the enigmatic prophecies of her grandmother? There's another thing. But, the temptation is unrelenting, the characters are brilliantly written and the plot crafted with an elegant finesse. The romantic tension ignite passion and treachery. You are going to love this spellbinder.


5.0 out of 5 stars
A beautifully descriptive story!

What a wonderful and beautifully descriptive story! It might sound cliché to call a place a character, but it’s absolutely true in Ms Sefer’s fascinating novel. The descriptions of Mykonos are so well done; I’m ready to book a trip. I won’t rehash the plot, except to say the mystery kept me involved and the romance between Helena and Dimitris sizzled. This book gave me everything a great read should. I can’t wait to read the next in the series.


5.0 out of 5 stars
An Intriguing Plot

An intriguing plot of love, romance and mystery within the enchanting backdrop of the Greek Islands. Irresistible drama is bound to follow suit. The author, Angel Sefer had done a great job in keeping her audience spellbound throughout the book. Like most great love stories, the heroine (in this case - Helena) juggles her affection for Dimitris and her quest to unearth the truth of her father's disappearance when she was a mere child of eight. This book is beautifully written and I applaud the author for her imaginative and riveting storytelling.

I’m so excited about all those 5-star reviews on my mystery romance novel SPELLBOUND IN HIS ARMS.

Billionaires, Intrigue, Murder and Deceit!
By 
Romantic Suspense takes on a whole new level in Angel Sefer’s ‘Spellbound in his Arms.’ It’s a fast paced murder mystery with sizzling elements of romance and passion - which will have you glued to your seat until the entire book is finished! Set on the beautiful island of Corfu, this magical world comes to life under Sefer’s talented hands. Billionaires, intrigue, murder and deceit - all make for a wonderfully entertaining read. Can reporter Jackie and detective Michael put their differences aside and work together on this one? You’ll have a fantastic time finding out!



5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Story!
By 
"Spellbound in His Arms" is the story of Jackie and Michael’s fiery and passionate love affair centered on a mansion that the author gives a life of its own. So much so, I was left wondering is it really a mansion or something else? That’s how expertly the author weaves her characters together to bring the reader a plot that is a skillful blend of romance and mystery with an intriguing story line. Once again the author makes the setting come alive with her vivid description of the islands of Greece, as a backdrop to the complexities of human nature: love, mystery, intrigue and suspicion… It has it all. Great story!



5.0 out of 5 stars
Surprise Elements and Plot Twists Woven into an Explosive Tapestry by Passion
This mystery has it all: murder, money, fire, romance, dogged determination of our heroine and the ardent admiration and rising passions of her Greek detective! This combination is a full on assault on the nerves as plot twists and turns, and some surprise elements I will NOT mention, keep the reader glued to this page-turner from the very first paragraph. You won't be able to put this best seller down! Buy it!



5.0 out of 5 stars
Found a new great author to follow

This was a really great read that has good twists and turns that leave you guessing but aren't convoluted just to create drama. Well written and I like that it's not just straight romance or thriller several elements woven into a well done story.

I haven't read a romance for 40 years and I am not into the paranormal but I love the Greek Islands
and also the idea of having a soul mate, so I thought I would challenge myself and read something
different this time. I am glad I did. I was hooked right from the start and found the author's writing
style gripping. For this alone, the author deserves 5 stars. I especially liked the authentic description
of Greek culture and the atmosphere, so special for the Greek Islands. I wouldn't hesitate to read
more books from this author.

Touching story of love and betrayal

Never having been to Greece or any of its Islands, I felt bewitched by the feeling I was actually
taking part in this touching story of love and betrayal. Haunted by dreams of her mother’s past life,
Joanna Williams draws on her savings to travel to her mother’s birthplace on the Greek Island of
Zakynthos to unravel the mystery. There she meets the image of her dreams but the dark family
secrets she unearths threaten to tear them apart. Despite the devastating truth revealed in this
tangled web of eternal soul mates, the author skilfully brings a happy ending to this absorbing
romance in a tense and dramatic finish. Highly recommended.

Set against the captivating backdrop of the Greek Island of Zakynthos, Eternal Soul Mates blends
the classic themes of love, loss and betrayal in original fashion.

The past and present combine as the eternal soul mates of the title try to untangle their souls. The
mystery element and evocative setting reminded me of Mary Stewart’s classic novels. The author
places you in the heart and heat of the action and she uses the locations to great effect.

A suspenseful read with a great sense of place, Eternal Soul Mates is highly recommended for lovers
of the Greek Islands and paranormal romance.

Also, here is one of the reviews on Goodreads:

rated it it was amazing
A beautifully crafted reincarnation romance on a mesmerizing Greek Island
I was drawn to this beautifully written and unique story right from the beginning—the fascinating characters, the island descriptions, and the sense of mystery in the air captivated me. This novel would satisfy every avid reader of reincarnation and paranormal mystery romance.

Eternal Soul Mates is the first novel released in a new collection that I started—the Flames of Destiny Collection. Fascinated by the concepts of soul mates and reincarnation—the eternal cycles of the soul between this world and the Other Side—I have started this new paranormal romance collection, cloaked in mystery and suspense.

 

Blurb of Eternal Soul Mates

In Eternal Soul Mates, the past merges with the present in a haunting and captivating story of love, loss, and betrayal.

Joanna Williams is bewildered by her mother’s mysterious past and scorching dreams of an irresistible stranger. Trying to find some answers, she visits her mother’s birthplace—the Greek Island of Zakynthos.

Alexandros Kortesis—the owner of a luxury resort on Zakynthos—is drawn to Joanna like no other. But a dark secret threatens his family’s legacy, and unfortunately, Joanna is the one trying to uncover it.

Danger and passion collide as the two soul mates—unaware that they were lovers in a past life—confront each other while at the same time try to resist the compelling force that draws them together. Will their eternal love prevail? Or will the battle against the evil guarding the secret lead them to their graves?

Eternal Soul Mates is a reincarnation romance story cloaked in mystery and suspense. The action unfolds on the Greek Island of Zakynthos—a paradise on earth in the aquamarine waters of the Ionian Sea.
