Uff... buenísimo! Super romántico, con una trama muy atrapante y una sub-trama que me entretuvo bastante.

Parto diciendo que me gustó mucho esta nueva línea narrativa que se abrió con la historia de Elizabeth. Fue interesante cómo la autora unió la sub-trama del libro anterior, al traer de vuelta al personaje de Euan, cruzándolo ahora con el conflicto de Elizabeth. Aunque fue muy poco creíble y quizás un poco forzado el repentino interés y enamoramiento de Euan por el Elizabeth, ya que solo se habían visto una vez antes de que éste se declarara flechado por ella, ese detalle no afectó en ningún momento lo invested que estaba por saber si tendrían exito con el plan de ayudarla a escapar. Wn esa escena del teatro, donde David y Elizabeth deben arrancar del marido de ella ??? casi me da un infarto! Espero que David se recupere bien del accidente porque es tan buena persona, no merece sufrir más wn

Ok! Book 1 was nice but book 2 has THOROUGHLY piqued my interest and I'm excited to dive into book 3.

Me: "ugh this is kind of annoying to read"
Also me: "must. know. what. happens!!!!"

Idk how to describe what bothers me about this book/series...maybe it's the stakes feel low and I don't feel a ton of chemistry between the 2 love interests?? Like, sure, they're horny for each other, but their non-sexual interactions are either stiff social functions or David being internally self-hating/externally weird and awkward?? I get that in romance novels there's inherently some suspension of disbelief, but what do these two see in each other??? Besides thinking the other is super hot

The title is Beguiled but I think Chambers truly means bewitched- body and soul!

David and Murdo are fighting their feelings, the times, and their beliefs constantly. Readers/listeners will be invested in their ...friendship.
While they don't recognize their feelings, you absolutely will.

Bewitched, I say!
