Spellbound Seduction (The Brightley Sisters Book 2)Spellbound Seduction by Halley Larkin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging historical romance with a second chance at romance theme. The shyest of the Brightley sisters, Arabella is now the lady of a grand house, following the marriage of her eldest sister. However, a male cousin is set to inherit Cortwood Manor, so Bella is focused on her youngest sister, Rosalind’s first season, in the hope of a marriage. Unfortunately, Bella is more used to reading, sewing and dabbling in her late mother’s mysterious book of herbal remedies and family folklore.

Following the disappearance and presumed death of the man Bella loved, Thomas Beecham, Bella plans to stay unmarried. Then Thomas returns, having spent a year in service, paying off his father’s debt, and he’s still in love with Bella. He had to make her think he was dead for her safety, however, even though he’s back he is still keeping secrets from her. Thomas is not who Bella thinks, and the truth could destroy any chance he has of winning her back. The descriptive narrative brought the characters and the setting vividly to life, and along with the historical period details, made me feel immersed in the story. The characters are wonderfully detailed and I loved the connection between Bella and Thomas. I look forward to book three in this series.
