It was never going to be easy.Fire and ice have nothing on Angela Holguín and Soren Lund who first met as MBA students in exciting Barcelona. But their timing was off, until Destiny put them back in the same city: London; and their passion ignited. Now Distance has come between them with Soren in Barcelona and Angela in Los Angeles. And now that Angela has a handsome new business partner, the … handsome new business partner, the stakes are even higher.
Things come to a head when Angela and her partner travel to Barcelona for business and it is there where she will have to decide between the opposing forces that beckon. Will Soren’s offer of life in London pull her to Europe, or will her business-and the siren song of the sea-keep her rooted to Los Angeles? BECKONED: slow burn, second-chance romance inspired by food, travel, and Jane Austen. Over 300 reviews with 4.4+ average. Part 4 in a 6-part series.
“Let me just say,this series has been my absolute favorite series I have read in 2018 so far. Aviva Vaughn set out to write a slow burn and vivid story, and she nailed it on the head! With inspiration from Jane Austen, she has reimagined the writing style of her in a way you will fall in love with from the get go. I fell in love with the places I have never been, and feel as if I have tasted the food.This would be a series I would love to see in a film or even a mini series on tv would be amazing.” -Liz, 5-star review
“I am saying now that this is probably one of the best series that I have read so far this year! I cannot wait for more!!Again the authors writing is just superb, the detail, the descriptions, they are just beautiful and I still feel like I am right there along with thesecharacters.” -Katie, 5-star review
“This lady has completely captured me with this series, at first I was intrigued to see how an American author would write about the UK and she definitely did it justice, and I fell in Love with a brilliant read and found a absolutely amazing author that has become one of my top ten. This is definitely a series you want to read.” -Claire, 5-star review
“Every now and then you’re faced with a book that makes you think of how little sleep you actually need to function the next morning, for me part four of the Beckoned series is that book.

“All I can say is that I loved how everything came together in the end even though I did not expect this at all. Be prepared for some emotional scenes that may draw out the ugly cry. Aviva has definitely stepped it up in this part of the series. I highly recommend this great series.” -Michelle, 5-star review

Beckoned Part 4: From Barcelona with Love – Aviva Vaughn
5-star review
“He had to let her go. It was the only way he could ever know the place he held in her heart.”
Beckoned Part 4: From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn is a must read! This is the 4th book in Aviva’s Beckoned series. I have been anticipating this book since I finished the last one. Somehow, I love each new book more than the last! This story is romantic, charming, touching and heart wrenching. I completely devoured this book in one sitting, I just love these characters so much. Each time I start a book by Aviva I have to prepare myself for the emotional story I know will take place.
I felt so many emotions while reading this one, one minute I was laughing and feeling giddy and the next moment I was heartbroken and sad. Aviva’s writing style made it so easy for me to connect and relate to these characters that I could read about them forever. I would strongly recommend reading this series in order as each book starts off exactly where the other left off. This is a book and series I would recommend to absolutely anyone looking for their next romance read!
From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn
Stars: 5
There is so much to talk about for the fourth book in the Beckoned series. Angela and Soren face the tough realities of having a long distance relationship. I love these two characters. Their struggles and joys are completely relatable and honest. I really feel that every reader should read and think upon the book club questions. I feel that it helped me think more into the story. Also, these questions prepared me for the ending. I felt that the ending really ended the best possible way based on these characters personalities and timing of their lives. This story makes me so excited to read more from this author.
Beckoned, Part 4: From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn picked up when the last left off. I found myself hoping one thing would happen and when the exact opposite happened I was okay with it most of the time. I was hoping it would end a bit differently but it was more realistic than a lot of the endings.
I still have a bit of a girl crush on Angela and was glad she ended up being happy. I have some questions about some of the things that happened in her past, they aren’t really necessary for the story line but I’m just nosey like that.
I hope to see more from Ms. Vaughn and this series in the future. I’m so glad I decided to pick up this series.
Beckoned part four- what can I say? This series has ended up in a place much different than I expected in the beginning. In fact, for part of this book I felt kind of bad for Soren. I almost felt as if he and Angela were just trying to drag out a relationship that should have just been over, or maybe she was leading him on. She obviously had a much more real connection with someone else.
It was kind of a bummer to watch things play out, but it was for the best. This story ended just in the way it should, and I feel everyone is better off for it. At times I was annoyed by each of the main characters’ actions, but people aren’t perfect. They all went through a lot of growth throughout the series and in many beautiful places. This has been an interesting journey for me and not your typical love story. Aviva Vaughn has a unique voice in the romance genre and I will look for more books by her in the future.

Every now and then you’re faced with a book that makes you think of how little sleep you actually
need to function the next morning, for me part four of the Beckoned series is that book. I haven’t been quiet about how much I love Angela’s story up until this point and just when I think Aviva Vaughn has reached max potential the next book in the series blows me away even more. I could not put From Barcelona With Love down until I knew how it ended, who cares if the task went well into the early hours of the morning, not me.
As I was reading I found myself wondering if I ever officially use the term “emotional rollercoaster” in any of my reviews. I know the thought has crossed my mind a time or two but I remember feeling like the term just wasn’t right. As I sit here digesting all that is part four of Beckoned, I feel as though this gives true meaning to the term! I can’t even begin to count the times where I felt myself smiling then felt my heart drop as the plot seemed to be making a slight detour. I can’t stress enough how much I devoured this book, this series even. I couldn’t be happier with the ending of Beckoned: From Barcelona With Love and I will be urging my fellow readers to start the series immediately. I am truly looking forward to reading more from Aviva Vaughn!
Beckoned, Part 4: From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn had me holding onto the edge of my seat to see what was going to happen next, and I was definitely not disappointed. Part 4 begins where Part 3 ended. I would recommend reading the first three books in the Beckoned series before beginning this one, to understand the characters and what has been going on. Angela is back in Los Angeles working on her book with the help of Kieran, while Soren is continuing his studies. Soren wants her to move to be with him, but she is happy with her life at where she is now. When tragedy happens, it causes Angela to think what are her priorities are for her life. What will Angela decide to do?
Wow, is all I can say, Beckoned is a great series by Aviva Vaughn. She writes with such descriptiveness, that allows you to feel like you are there where the characters are and what they are feeling and what they go through. Ms. Vaughn takes you on a very bumpy emotional roller coaster ride, be prepared and buckle in. I truly cannot wait to read more from Ms. Vaughn and see what she has in store for us.

Beckoned: From Barcelona With Love is the fourth part of the “Beckoned” series by Aviva Vaughn. I thought the last instalment of the series was interesting, and the best of the bunch- but this book takes the cake! I certainly wasn’t expecting the way the story played out… my mind had wandered down several possible outcomes/scenarios, but I wasn’t certain which way Ms. Vaughn would take the story, and I was pleasantly surprised by what I read. It really was the perfect way to take the storyline and I love, love, love it. And that ending- OH MY MY MY!!!
The whole story/series has been fascinating and captivating- with Ms. Vaughn upping the ante with each instalment, each book slightly eclipsing the last. I was enthralled through each and every book in a way I never expected to be going into this series. Having read the four books now, I can’t help thinking what a wonderful Television mini-series this would make. It really is different from a lot of other reads- the descriptions and scene setting are so vivid, rich and vibrant- I was ‘seeing’ the scenes play out before my eyes. The sights, smells and tastes of the books/series come alive, along with the characters. I could go on and on about this book and series, but instead I just highly recommend you dive in and read all the wonderful details for yourself. You are bound to love them as much as I do!
How excited am I to discover that there will be a part 5 and 6 coming out!!!! I just can’t wait!!
Another fantastic read from a great author!
Thank you, Ms. Vaughn!
Okay if I said any of the other 3 books in this series were my favorite, I obviously hadn’t read this yet.
This has become my favorite if the Beckoned series. It closes out the other 3 books so perfectly.
Just like the others, I loved the charecters and felt like they were friends while reading.
I also loved Vaughn’s attention to detail, I felt like I traveled right along with everyone.
Another thing I lived about this series is it isn’t one I will get bashful recommending to my mom, the loce scenes aren’t too hot and heavy, just enough heat.
5 out 5 stars for Vaughn
The last book of an amazing series! Beckoned – From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn finishes Angela’s story with her one and true love (I’m not going to reveal who that is because what’s the fun in that!) This book follows Angela in her book coming out and her final goodbyes with one of her guys to realization of her love to the other one. Of course, both of her men try and hold on to her but one lets her go so he can ultimately have her. Angela truly comes into her own and learns so much about herself and who she is and where she wants to go. It’s really amazing to read, which is why I couldn’t put this book down! The steamy scenes are truly on point and are amazingly hot! All the characters play an awesome role and this story ended I believe the way that it should have. Once again, the author’s descriptions and depth into detail give you complete and perfect imagery, which makes you believe you are living the story right along with the characters. I absolutely adore this series but I also believe that you need to read the series in its entirety because you will not truly understand everything that takes place without the back story. You honestly will not be disappointed if you do. This book rounded the story out very well and I was completely impressed by it. Lots of culture, art and food play a huge role in this book. READ IT!
Beckoned Part 4: From Barcelona With Love by Aviva Vaughn is the fourth instalment of what has easily become one of my favourite series. This is a series that I highly recommend reading in order as it follows the same characters all the way through.
Angela and Soren are still desperately trying to figure things out. Both in separate countries, miles between them things just seem to get harder and harder. Add in Angela’s mysterious new business partner and things are definitely starting to spice up.
When Angela travels to Barcelona on a business trip things must come to a head. It is time for Angela to decide where her life will be, and who it will be with.
I find it so hard to write a review about this series because I just want to shout out about everything that happens. Yet at the same time I don’t because everyone needs to experience it for themselves to get the full effect of these stories. At times I want to scream at the characters to get themselves together and at other times I can feel my heart pounding through yet another emotional scene. There has never been a point during all these books that I could honestly say I knew what was going to happen. This series will grip you and take you on such a journey that you will not be able to atop reading until, like me, you have devoured them all. I cannot recommend this series highly enough.
BECKONED, Part 4: From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn continues right on from where Part 3 left off and OMG I did not see the ending coming or maybe I did….. But either way Part 4 has left me so heartbroken and I did not like the ending. In this part of the story we see someone make the biggest sacrifice one could make and that made me love them a little more. Angela is always making excuses to the one she loves but how can a relationship stand the test of time if there is no sacrifice. I felt that I wanted to smack Angela for not compromising more but it is her life. Soren is a possessive man but is very dedicated and fiercely loyal but is that enough.
To find out what happened you will have to grab a copy and have a read.
Beckoned, Part 4: From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn is the fourth book in her Beckoned series. I highly suggest you read this books in order to help enrich your enjoyment of this series and also the books pick up where the previous one has left off. I have enjoyed this series from beginning until the end. I was excited to see how Angela and Soren’s story ends. This is the next installment to their story. Angela is currently in Los Angeles and Soren is in Barcelona. They have a long distance relationship that has not been the easiest. Now with Angela’s new business partner, things start heating up. What will happen when Angela and her partner travel to Barcelona on a business trip? Angela is now forced to make a decision with the opposing forces. Will she go to Soren and the life he has to offer her in London or will she be pulled by her business in Los Angeles? I loved the characters in this book. They took me on an emotional roller coaster ride of various emotions. Just when you think you know what will happen, something totally different could happen. These characters are jealousy, hot-steamy romance and really a fight for love. The secondary characters are just as strong and supportive. Together they create a story that is engaging and fast paced. I highly recommend this book. You don’t want to miss what happens next with Angela and Soren!
