I had no idea that my seven-year marriage would implode

during our long awaited and needed vacation to Albuquerque—the city that will
change your perspective. Unfortunately, our attempt at fixing everything wrong
in our relationship backfired, big time.
My husband left me alone in Albuquerque, with no friends, no family . . . and
no idea what my future holds or if I’ll ever find happiness again.
As I begin to move on, I can’t help but notice the man who was there for me
during my darkest hour.
Esteban Garcia is the dashing hero you want on your side, even though I’m no
damsel in distress.
With his dazzling smile, bright green eyes and golden skin, he’s a brand of
gorgeous I’m not used to, and mysterious enough to drive me crazy with thoughts
of him.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out I’ve somehow been enchanted by him . . . or
maybe he was my fate all along.

Review
Enchanted by You starts off with Ines being on vacation with her husband in Albuquerque and decides to make a drastic change in her life. It’s clear that she hasn’t been treated well and has had enough. That is one of the strongest things in Enchanted by You. Ines realizing she wasn’t being treated as she should be and even though he wasn’t hitting her, there was definitely some abuse.
Ines is such a strong character and I loved her development in Enchanted by You. It was nice to see a strong female character finding her way without a man. Even if Esteban wasn’t that far away, haha. Esteban is a hardworking man, who not only is taking care of his parents’ business but starting his own as well. On top of that he’s really close to his sister!
That’s another favorite aspect of mine. All of the characters in this book, I loved Lupe and even Ines’ neighbor. They made this book even more fun. It was clear from the start that there was an instant connection between Ines and Esteban, but I loved that it was more of a slow burn romance. Ines gave herself time to figure stuff out and how aware she was of having feelings while just getting out of a relationship. Not man books take that in consideration.
The twist at the end wasn’t something I was expecting. I think it made their connection just a bit more special, but it was an unique twist in a love story like this. Enchanted With You is written in a way that makes you keep on reading! I fell in love with these two characters and only wished them the best. I would’ve liked to have had a few chapters from Esteban though! I think htat would’ve made this story extra special and more complete!

I make a face. “What exactly are you hinting
at?” I ask, and he lets out a laugh, his eyes bright with amusement. He puts
his hands in his pockets, and relaxes, slouching his shoulders a little. “Is
this your way of asking me if I’ve experienced any paranormal activity?” The
sound of his laughter stirs something in my chest, a happy feeling I haven’t
felt in so long. I don’t miss the looks I’m getting from the women he was
talking to. Also, I just can’t miss the opportunity to tease him in return.

“Oh, yeah.
I haven’t had a chance to tell you. There’s a ghost who visits me every night.
I haven’t been getting much sleep but all in all…I can’t really complain,”
I tell him with a knowing look, and his face falls immediately.

“Not so
funny now, is it?” I quip and see him slowly regain the color that had gone
amiss from his cheeks. His eyes sparkle like emeralds as he recovers, and the
corner of his lips tilts into a grin that tells me he’ll make me pay for it.

“Alright.

He nods
slowly, a small smile stretching across his face. His eyes linger on me, as if
trying to read me. I felt bold a moment ago, but now that he’s staring at me
with such intensity, I feel my cheeks redden and look down.
