MY THOUGHTS: 

Spellbound In His Arms is an adult mystery romance novel. I gave it 4/5 stars on Goodreads, but its more like a 3.5 /5 stars. I had a few problems with the book. At first the story line was really good and it was interesting, but then at some point in the book I felt as though there were a lot of skipped things, skipped parts, or that the parts of the story were not well explained. I felt that the idea of this story is really great but it was definitely missing details.
I wouldn´t  complain if the book was longer then it was.  I found it kind of short.
What I loved about the story itself was that it was a really great mystery story, even up till the very end. Some of the parts in the story surprised me so much, because I really didn´t expect them to happen.
It was action packed and interesting and the writing style was pretty good, because the author kind of pulls you in the story which is always a plus in my book.
I didn´t like the romance part because it was really predictable and it didn´t feel real. I get that when they met they felt the attraction but all other interactions between the two main characters was unbelievable and ridiculous.
I really wanted to see them two grow through out the book as a couple but that didn´t happen. At one moment they were not a couple and then the next thing they were getting married. So it wasn´t real as far as a real life relationship goes.

I´m not going to go into the storyline itself because I really want you guys to read this book by yourself and make your own opinion about it. And I really don´t wan to spoil the book for anyone.

All I can say is that I did enjoy the story, although it definitely was lacking details that I though were important, and I did like the characters but not so much their interactions because it just was not written good, it wasn´t convincing. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a light and quick read.
