REVIEWS 

This story was quick to grab my interest, and I remained enraptured as it unfolded page after page. I thought it was uncommonly well conceived and beautifully constructed. Nick is an outstanding love match for Isabel...In short, I loved this story and look forward to the next book in the series. ~ 5 "cups" from Coffee Time Romance & More 

I could not put down Honor Bound. Isabel is a strong woman in a time where men ran the world and all those in it...you shouldn't hesitate to read this book. ~ rated A (a keeper) at Once Upon A Chapter reviews 

DESCRIPTION 

7 years ago a woman with too many secrets and a man with too many lies fell in love. Then she left him. 

Isabel's quiet life as an assistant to one of London's famous apothecaries hides a deadly secret. A secret that could see her put on trial for witchcraft if the authorities uncover the truth. But when the authority figure who turns up at her shop is Sir Nicholas Merritt, she's at risk of losing more than her life. She could lose her heart and soul, and the man she loves. 

Royal spy Sir Nicholas Merritt can't believe his luck when he stumbles upon Isabel during an investigation. He's been searching for her for seven long years and now he has her again, in his bed and his life. Except she's resisting all the way. Worse still, she's somehow tangled up with a plot to assassinate the queen. To hold onto her this time, he must find out why she left him while hiding a secret of his own that could tear them apart forever.

Ratings and reviews

I love the story of Isabel and Nick, but then again, like any of C.J. Archer's books... you'll be immersed in the story and romance that you can't put it down! My only complaints about Honor Bound are wanting a longer story and having more adult "action" between Nick and Isabel, but the story was great nonetheless! I would love to see an adult adventure series of Nick and Isabel - seeing them solve more murder mysteries together or battle against Constance, the Justice of Peace, or other magicians, but with more adult romance.

It was ok. To be fair, the witchcraft aspect isn't my thing. It doesn't seem necessary to add it when she's such a good story. It was too much.

I have read every book written by C.J. Archer and will read every new book that comes out. Marvelous authorship and storylines create a worthy time of entertainment and enjoyment.
