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!

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.

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!!!

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   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.

Desiring Death Excerpt:
The door opened silently and she was greeted by the dim interior within, lit up by little more than candles and a few strategically placed bulbs, but, oh, how they reflected the light. Rushing inside her sanctum and striding forwards, as if being further inside the church would help her in her plight for safety, she couldn’t help but be stunned by the richness of its design. There was a reason it had been given the nickname of ‘Chiesa d’Oro,’ or ‘Church of Gold.’ Glittering mosaics lined both the floor and the ceiling, and the gold glass created a shimmering movement that was truly incredible. Looking up into the vast height between herself and the domed ceiling, she had reason to feel very small. Then something clicked inside her and she realised that not only had she not seen a priest at the door, but no-one had made a sound since her entrance. Spinning around to scan the area behind her, she saw that while the door had been closed firmly shut there appeared to be not a soul in sight. Whilst Violetta would normally have been more than capable of taking care of herself, she was in no fit state to defend herself this evening. She could only hope that the benevolent priest who had answered her call had left her some privacy in which to pray.‘My, what an impressive effort, cherie. Futile, of course, but impressive, nevertheless.’ Jumping up in shock, she looked around and searched frantically for a member of the clergy to come to her rescue. There was no-one to be found. ‘The priests have been disposed of, cherie. It’s just you and me.’ And there he was, pristine perfection, looking cool, calm and unruffled. His full-length dark-grey wool coat had not a mark upon it, his loafers were polished to a high shine and his hair flopped in beautiful ebony planes against his face. Not even the wind was able to mar his beauty. He was lounging against a sixteenth century font to her left and looked exceptionally comfortable there. She wanted to burst into tears.Speechless, she watched as both of his hands cupped themselves together and gathered water from the font. He liberally splashed himself with it and she knew that he wanted a reaction from her. Goddamn the man was an utter bastard. She refused to give him one. Violetta Cancellaro was not going to run over to him and try to tear his eyes out of his head. That would give him exactly what he wanted. She could not school her expression, however.Her eyes shot out of her head and her mouth dropped open in dismay. ‘You,’ she accused, though no further words were forthcoming. Her hands were shaking at the thought of what he might have done to the priests.  If she had not come here tonight, they might still have been alive. She had an awful moment where she wondered how many deaths would be heaped upon her conscience this evening. ‘Why did you have to kill them?’ Her legs crumpled downwards and her knees sank to the tessellated carpet of marble below. They hit the cold, unforgiving floor with a dull thud.‘Oh yea of little faith,’ he mocked. ‘Contrary to popular belief, I do not go around murdering messengers of God or deflowering virgins on a regular basis. For you, I’ll make a special exception, but the general rule is to steer well clear of them.’ He raised an eyebrow at her, knowing full well that she did not believe him. ‘Relax, cherie. I sent them to sleep. They are having a quiet snooze up near the altar.’She immediately scrabbled to her feet and turned around to confirm his words. On closer inspection she found two figures, both clad in voluminous black cassocks, could be seen strung across the front pew. A few halting steps forward, and she could see that he had in fact told the truth, for both chests were rising and falling and the sound of gentle snores could be heard. She remembered to breathe.‘Come now, princess. It’s time to take a little trip. I have a four poster bed and several sets of handcuffs with your name on them, although I think that the dark, black rope would look particularly fetching wrapped around your alabaster arms. What do you think, darling?’

THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC is the second book in THE LIZZIE HART MYSTERIES series.  It is the sequel to Caroline Fardig’s bestselling debut novel, IT’S JUST A LITTLE CRUSH.

Lizzie Hart hoped her first day back at work after nearly being killed would be uneventful.  No such luck.  Before she can finish her morning coffee, Lizzie and her co-workers find a dead body on the rooftop of their office. Media vultures that they are, the Liberty Chronicle employees are psyched to have first-hand news to report. Lizzie, however, is devastated when she realizes that the victim is her ex-boyfriend’s brother.
When evidence begins piling up against one of Lizzie’s friends,she reluctantly dons her detective hat once again, determined to find the real killer. She’s not thrilled about chasing another psychopath around, but she’ll do anything for a friend. Lizzie’s love life is rapidly becoming a hot mess, too. Her latest attempt at sleuthing isn’t leaving much time for her budding romance with town hunk Blake Morgan. Add that to the fact she’s hiding a secret so big it could rock the very core of their relationship, it’s no wonder that Lizzie’s in a tizzy.
Poor Lizzie ends up juggling a murder investigation, a wacky Wiccan coven, and two men vying for her attention—all while nursing injuries left over from the last time she decided to play Nancy Drew. It’s a good thing she always has a few tricks up her sleeve.

My Review on Czech Mate by Sabrina Devonshire

 An exhilarating, action-packed, erotic thriller!, February 6, 2015By AngelThis review is from: Czech Mate (Navy Seals of Valor Book 2) (Kindle Edition)After having read and loved the Amalfi Affair, I just couldn’t resist Czech Mate (the 2nd book in the Navy Seals of Valor series) and I wasn’t disappointed. It was just as amazing, action-packed, and erotic as the first one if not more.
Czech Mate is a heart-stopping thriller where sparks fly high between Navy SEAL Nathan and beautiful pilot Baylee.
And, of course, I loved that the book delves into the continuing romance of Darryl (the hunky Navy SEAL) and Olivia (the gorgeous CIA agent) from the Amalfi Affair.
If you like danger, hot romance, and exotic locations, then check out the books in the Navy SEALS of Valor series!
