Positively delightful

A decade had passed since Nick Bardou fled New Orleans after the scandal of 1865 that rocked his family and led to him killing his father's mistress. On his return, the city still reeks and he cannot wait till he can go back to California. However, everything abruptly changes when he sees the woman he stabbed in the heart and had buried in a coffin deep into the ground, blissfully standing nearby, doing some sort of magical trick with falling flowers.Nick soon meets Wendi Chastain, daughter of the woman he killed. Soon, Nick agrees to assist Wendi in her quest of finding the missing Book of Shadows, once the property of her mother. However, as the couple searches for the lost tome, they fall in love with one another. In spite of the beliefs of Wendi's Aunt Sybilla that destiny is correcting a past wrong, Nick has the baggage of his beloved's mother and his own father to overcome if he wants to share a lifetime of love with her.Fans of historical romance with a twist of witchcraft will be SPELLBOUND by Trana Mae Simmons' latest novel. The story line is filled with poignancy and tension that is slightly relieved by comedic moments. The characters are heartwarming and believable, while fans will accept magic as the genuine article. A fun time is to be had by fans of the Post Civil War romance who enjoy a few twists to their tale.Harriet Klausner
