BECKONED, Part 2: From Bath with Love by Aviva Vaughn – Review by Jenni Bishop

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beckoned: From Bath With Love is the second book in the series which continues with  our main character Angela travelling to London to be with Thomas. But what she finds  out changes everything. Angelas time in London is nothing like she expected and is  even better than she could imagine but when her time is up all the angst she never  expected to feel leave her reeling.     Once again Aviva’s vivid descriptions allow you to imagine the things and places she  writes about and you can almost taste the food. I was a little disappointed with Soren  and his perspective on some events and really just wanted to sit him down and tell him  to wake up. He almost seemed child like with his actions. The fact that Angela kept  apologising because of his feelings got my goat up to. Even though I didn’t like it, it  worked for the story.    There is a lot of passion between our main characters which make for an interesting  read. I am wondering where that leaves our characters for the future and am waiting to  read the next book to see.

Beckoned: From Bath with Love is the second part of the “Beckoned” series by Aviva Vaughn. The story picks up right where book one finished, so I really recommend that you read the first book before beginning this one to get the best reading experience.
This is a slow-burn, contemporary women’s fiction- that is jam packed full of vibrant and vivid descriptions of travel, adventure, food, longing, second chances, and romance. The book is a very quick and easy read, but the content certainly isn’t lacking. The author packed a lot into this book and it felt like a much longer novel, in a good way. I am really enjoying this series, following Angela and Soren on their journey. This book delves into their emotional mind sets, and we got to see a little more of their characters. There was insecurity, jealousy, push-pull, drama, and some complexity to their situation, that I thought made this story stand out a little more from the first.
As with the first book, I loved Ms. Vaughn’s attention to detail, and the way she used her words to bring Bath/London to life. I felt like I was right there with them.
The book has a fast pace and a smooth flow. And as with the first story, it still retains the ‘classic’ feel, much like a Jane Austin novel.
The writers style is smooth, inviting and very easy to read. She made me want to find out what would happen next, I really want to know where the story will lead, so I have already dived into the next book, that review will follow very soon!

Thank you, Ms. Vaughn!
