Spellbound Falls (Spellbound Falls #1)
Paperback, 325 pages
Published February 28th 2012 by Jove
Goodreads synopsis: Maximilian Oceanus arrives in Spellbound Falls just in time to save Olivia Baldwin from an overly aggressive suitor, only to find himself attracted to the beautiful, if rather aloof, widow. And although Mac has come to Inglenook to get a handle on fatherhood, his newly discovered six-year-old son has set his sights on finding his father a wife.
Olivia, however, is busy getting Inglenook ready for its new season, so she doesn’t have time to deal with her growing attraction to the dangerously seductive Mac. Besides, weird stuff seems to happen all around him. Take the fact that her seatbelt keeps getting stuck in his presence, or locks magically open for him without keys, and that he seems to have a talent for sensing things. Never mind the three lost albatrosses walking down the road in the middle of the night. Since when are there albatrosses in Maine?
But despite Olivia’s resistance to falling under the sexy man’s spell, Olivia is having trouble fighting her longing. Because she knows Mac is just the man to unlock the powerful passion deep within her
I found this book to have a bit of a slow start. I just couldn't get my mind in the right place to read it. And I am sure that is just me and not the author. I loved the concept.
Olivia has been hiding from the world about as far away as one can get without being in outer space. She has spent her life in Spellbound Falls under the guise of raising her daughter but in truth she is protecting her own heart. Her life up to this point hasn't been a stellar one. She has been through the hard knocks of life and come out the other side wounded and scared.
Enter Maximilian Oceanus, large, strapping man who makes all the other residents of Spellbound Falls look like mere mortals to his out of this world physique. There is a reason for that comparison, but I don't want to give anything away. Let's just say that he is quite the Adonis. He has come to Spellbound Falls in order to get help with his newly discovered son and he wants to make sure he has the techniques to be a good parent.
The two are attracted to each other right at the beginning but Olivia has had so many of life's knocks that she is a bit gun shy. Once she gives in to her instincts, this is when the book really takes off.
If you want a book that gets you out of your head and into a whole new world, then this is for you. I was truly engaged.
4 Stars.
