In the second book of The Enchantment Series, the beautiful Eryn begins her life with Uriah, finding with him a heated love that has no boundaries.

But soon heartbreak, revenge, illness, and threats from their past wreak havoc on all they love. Can their love endure the many challenges yet to face them?

Handsome Uriah finds it difficult to be in the same room with her without his blood flowing hot, wanting to own her body in every way. Loving Eryn is all he could have dreamed of. Then why does he leave her behind as he uses the Portal to return to 1883? Can he protect those he loves, both in the past, and present? Will fate steal their love once again?
 



 

SRR GRADE: C+
 

In Enchantment’s Embrace one trial after another keeps crashing down upon the heads of these two lovers. They suffer constant roadblocks in their pursuit of love and happiness together.

 

Their story begins 120 years in the past and through the use of a time Portal they are able to travel between 1883 and the present.  Of course all the trouble travels with them.  Each time they hope to have rid themselves of danger a new threat appears to take its place.

 

Uriah has spent most of his life waiting for Eryn, his one true love. While Eryn had spent the past twenty years not even knowing he existed. After traveling through the Portal for the first time to escape the pain of losing her family she had lost all memory of her past.  All of this came out in the first book of the series entitled Visions of EnchantmentEnchantment’s Embrace picks up where the first book left off and there are two books to follow before this saga has come to its conclusion.

 

The basic story itself -- the love between Eryn and Uriah -- is good but I had trouble following all the twists and turns.  The flashbacks were distracting to the overall story and if you have not read the first book there were holes you couldn’t fill.  The book has unrealistic dialogue whether they were in 1883 or the present, the sentence structure is choppy and at times it felt as if the continuity was off. 

 

I enjoy reading time travel stories and I had high hopes for this one but unfortunately it fell flat for me.  However, the love story is solid, and if you can overlook the flaws, like time travel tales and reading about two people who have to move heaven and earth to be together you will enjoy this book.
