“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

“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. 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.” -Felicia., 5-star review
“The wholestory/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.” -Angela, 5-star review
“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
“Somehow, I love each new book more than the last! This story is romantic, charming, touching and heart wrenching.

Wow, I was surprised how into this book I became and quickly. The story was phenomenal and the world building was outstanding. I decided to try a few pages and before I knew it I had devoured the entire book. This book flowed so easily I didn’t realise I had read the entire thing until I had turned the last page. Wow!! Will definitely be following this author from now on.
Wow well as Angela gets her business flowing and books being published the friendship with Keiran grows as well but now stays firmly in the business zone. Unfortunately getting Soren out of his head and strictly thinking logically isn’t as easy a feat. Not able to understand Angela’s fierce need to be independent and to experience life to the fullest he struggles. We all have seen when Soren struggles he lashes out or makes rash decisions he later regrets. While Angela has been doing some real work on herself and her goals Soren may realize too late that there is a difference between compromise and control.
I have to admit I was kind of disappointed in the ending mainly because I wanted something different and that may be why. I also felt that as much time and attention to detail the author did in the series that the ending felt rushed and just wrong. While the journey does continue I have to say that this one for me although it was a great read, I felt like I was cheated.
Beckoned Part 4 From Barcelona with love by Aviva Vaughn
Four Stars
OMG! I’m slightly upset. I had to remind that this is not real. I can’t understand not trying or not giving it your all when you say you love someone. To just give up with no fight. Soren gave up he couldn’t see past Angela moving to London. Angela gave up after book one she was not invested. I really don’t understand these characters. So much miscommunication and misunderstanding. The lesson I think people should take from this is that relationships take a lot of work. It’s about give and take communicating no matter how it makes you feel. In the end Soren lost and my loyalties are with him. While Angela and K have a lot in common I didn’t believe in their attraction. Angela never showed interest even when her and Soren split. I only saw it at the end of the book when Soren was too late. The author did really well with giving you what you think you want but pulling the rug out from under you. The author gives you a twist on HEA.
The perfect ending to the series. Vaughn did a master full job engaging her readers and allowing them to care about all of the characters. I loved this book and series and couldn’t read them fast enough. Well paced and developed – just loved it!!
Beckoned, Part 4: From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn was one of the best yet in this series. I read all 4 in a couple days because I couldn’t wait to know what happened next. These characters have become like real people in my life and I just want to know more and more. I really enjoyed this authors characters and writing style. I will definitely keep my eye out and read anything that’s written by her. Just like all the other I give this book a solid 5 stars.
Beckoned, Part 4: From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn is the fourth book in the Beckoned series. Once again you need to read this series in order. Each book builds on this incredible story of Angela and Soren. Each book gets better and better!
So far Angela and Soren are enduring a long-distance relationship. A chance business trip leads Angela to return to Barcelona, but she’s bringing her business partner along. Soren who is a jealous man does not like this turn of events. Kieran is a new and charming part of Angela’s life, but will she still choose Soren when it is all said and done.
Soren now is wanting his happily after in London with Angela, but will she put her business first instead of her love life? Does love really to conquer all? I love how this story unfolds and the characters show yet another level of their personality. Even the secondary characters are amazing.
This book had it all drama, passion, unexpected twists, and it is fast paced that you won’t want to put the book down. This is the series that I will read repeatedly.
Beckoned Part 4, From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn
4 out of 5 Stars
This fourth book in the Beckoned series has done many things. It has made me laugh, cry and downright sigh. It has answered a lot of questions that book 3 had left me with and it has also given me a new perspective on some old characters that I was not so smitten with. You must read all of the previous books in this series in order as this book is not a standalone and you are doing yourself a disservice if you do not follow through with that. This book, more so than the others, is so full of angst, drama and passion. Soren is very much into Angela and at times can be overwhelming attached and jealous. Kieran has massively and unexpectedly placed himself in Angela’s life and now, poor Angela, is juggling the affections of two men. They do say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but compound that with thousands and thousands of miles and another suitor and Angela is starting to wonder if Soren is her happily ever after. This story is beautiful. The writing is complete and thought-out. The paragraphs are full, not blocky and the conversation between the characters is witty and sharp. I would recommend this series for a book club!
From Barcelona with Love is Part 4 of the Beckoned series, By author Aviva Vaughn.
This book is the next chapter in Soren & Angela’s journey. There have literally been so many ups and downs and whirlwind type situations I almost felt like I was in another series I loved greatly as much as this one. This author was very new to me when I started the series and I went in with no expectations just trying to pass some time. I really enjoyed how these stories made you feel like you were in the cities that it described. So many times authors will get landmarks wrong but his author definitely knew her areas. I look forward to more from this author.
Wow. What an amazing conclusion to Angela’s story! There are hardly words to describe how beautifully Aviva Vaughn describes every bit of scenery, life and the people in these books. She weaves a heart clenching ending to a wonderful story! Do yourself a favor and read the entire series! Although, this book might be my favorite, they are all well worth reading. Part four shows more about Angela’s books and the attention to detail she has over every bit of them. I found it very interesting to read about her process of writing and photographing every detail until it was just right. Her relationships with Soren and Kieran were an eye opening layer to the story. This book lends a certain theme that really stuck with me, and while I won’t say what that is, I found it to be just what Angela needed in her life to be truly happy as well as something I really needed to read. This book is so much more than a romance book; it really teaches you about doing what makes you happy and love your life. Angela is truly a character I feel many women could look up to and respect. Many thanks to Aviva Vaughn for sharing this story with the world! LOVED IT! FIVE STARS!!
Beckoned, Part 4: From Barcelona with Love was a great 5 star read.
Now that Angela and Soren have agreed to be boyfriend and girlfriend the real challenge begins. Angela is starting to question how a long distance relationship will work. Her business is in LA, can she really give that up to move to Barcelona?
I didn’t put myself through business school so I could be a kept woman, and my business is here. London might be good for Soren’s career, but it wouldn’t be good for mine.
When Angela and Kieran go to Barcelona for work, things get very interesting. There was some jealousy that surfaced on Soren’s part and he wanted to see first hand if he should have any concerns. Then there is a huge unexpected twist that left me in shock.
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. Part 4 can not be read as a stand alone, you definitely need to start with Part 1 and follow the series to understand everything that is happening. I highly recommend this great series and I hope to see more, I would like to see where things go from here. 1-click and get started today on this great read.
“How did they get there?”
“She felt pulled to him, beckoned by the movement on his body on the dance floor, but instead she sat rooted to the spot. How did they get there?”
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.
In Part 4 we get to see how Angela’s story winds up. Oh my, I didn’t see it ending this way but I felt like it was a perfect conclusion to this mounting and angsty story told from Angela’s point of view. I am so, so, so excited to find that there will be a part 5 and 6, and I will be waiting anxiously for them.
Angela has a lot going on in her life at the moment. She is about to publish her new book, and she is juggling the affections of two men. One of which is the love of her life and an ocean away. Soren is completing his MBA, in Barcelona. Meanwhile Angela is in her hometown of Los Angeles. The distance is both aiding and hindering the relationship for the most part, until fate throws a monkey wrench in Angela’s semi-balanced life. The problems that arise when her publisher suggests that Angela return to Barcelona to get inspiration for her illustrations of her book. One problem. She has to figure out how to handle both of the men in her life in the same city at the same time. What will she do? Will she follow her heart or be too torn to make the right decisions with a clear head? I must say I had a vision of how this would end but, I most certainly did not see what was actually to coming! Of course you will have to read the story for yourself for more info because I refuse to give any other hints and ruin the journey for you. I can promise you won’t be disappointed that you picked up this series.
One more small note, this is NOT a standalone novel. The previous 3 parts in the series should be read, and read in order, to fully enjoy this book. It will be the vacation you dream of taking but never thought you would have as you are reading this amazing series. You won’t want to miss what is going on in each novel.

Beckoned part 4: From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn is the fourth part in her Beckoned series and what an amazing finale! In all fair warning, the only way to truly be able to appreciate this book is to read all four books in order: From Love with Love, From Bath with Love, From Los Angeles with Love and finally From Barcelona with Love. Continuing the story of Soren and Angela’s journey of love, we meet up with our lovers again in Barcelona this time. When we as the reader are starting to think these two are going to make a real go of a relationship in the same city, Kieran plants himself into Angela’s life and attempts to stand in the way of her and Soren making the long distance relationship continue to work. The more that Kieran inserts himself into Angela’s life the more that she is beginning to wonder if Soren is the best man for her. Soren has always been a jealous man, and watching someone attempt to take Angela away from him only adds fuel to the fire. The constant push and pull between Soren and Angela, with the help of Kieran, only ratchets up the drama of this finale. I devoured this book just like I did with all of the others in this series. I wanted to see a happy ending for Angela and Soren but the forbidden touch of Kieran added an interesting detour in Angela’s journey toward Soren. Vaughn wove this story so beautifully that I could not have put a single book in this series if I had tried. Her unique voice made the characters come to life in a way that made the story line and background just dance off the pages. I HIGHLY recommend this series, and this author, to anyone who is looking to find a new love to read. I can’t wait to see what Vaughn brings to her readers next because I am going to be first in line to buy whatever she releases.

Beckoned, Part 4: From Barcelona with Love is the fourth book in the Beckoned series by Aviva Vaughn. I love this series, each book gives you a different flair and customs of the city that Soren and Angela visit. This story needs to be read in order, the books build on each other and you will be lost if you haven’t read the first three books. The up and downs had my emotions running rampant in this book. With Angela going to Barcelona along with Kieran things are about to get emotional for Angela. Decisions will have to be made and Hearts may be broken. You definitely don’t want to miss how this book ends! I would highly recommend this book, series and author.
Well, I didn’t see that coming!
Beckoned Part 4: from Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn, you must read this series in order and trust me you won’t be disappointed. If you want a series with a slow burn, long distance relationship with a hint of love triangle and Hot Sexy scenes than these books are for you. Aviva writing you will get you hooked in London and leave you wanting more in Barcelona.
Thru all four books, I have been rooting for Angela and Soren but now I am heartbroken and happy at the same time. I understand the reasoning behind it but, if she loved him that much where was the fight. The fact the Angela didn’t run straight to Kieran, made me happy and I am glad that Angela found someone that made her happy the way that was meant to be.
I am SO READY for Costa Rica, bring on more Soren!!

5 stars!
I can’t believe I am on book 4 already and still in love with this series! Sometimes I find after a couple of books they start to lose their way a little but not this author – she has managed to create an amazing set of characters and write a story that will not let me climb back out! 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 these characters.
The story is developing nicely, Angela is just amazing! I really do connect well with her and heading into this book I so desperately wanted her to find her happily ever after and I knew in my heart who I wanted that to be with! I think I was prepared for the characters in the story, I was prepared for the twists and turns, I was prepared for the amazing writing that makes me feel that I am right there in the story but what I was not prepared for was that ending – no way absolutely not!!
This, I think, has been my favourite book out of the series so far AND there’s more to come!!! I am so incredibly excited!!!!
This is the fourth book in the series by Aviva Vaughn BECKONED, Part 4: From Barcelona with Love. I this story as it continues right where Part 3 leaves off and OMG I did not see the ending coming. But either way, this part has left me so heartbroken and shattered, so much so I did not like the way it ended. In this part of the story, someone makes the biggest sacrifice one could make which made me love them a little more.
Angela is always making excuses to, the one she loves but how can any relationship stand the test of time if there is no sacrifice. I was annoyed with Angela and wanted to smack her for not compromising more. But hey it is her life after all, and Soren is a possessive man but is very dedicated and fiercely loyal but will that be enough for these too.
To find out what happened you will have to grab a copy and have a read. Happy Reading

Beckoned, Part 4: From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn is the fourth installment of the Beckoned series. This series should be read in order, as each book begins where the book before left off. The is book continues with Angela and Soren’s long distant relationship, Angle is in Los Angeles and Soren is in Barcelona. The distance is putting somewhat of a damper in their relationship. Soren wants Angela to move to London to live with him when he is done with his MBA in Barcelona. Meanwhile, Angela is working along with the all so attractive bookstore owner that is editing and will soon be publishing Angela’s first book. The attraction between the two is undeniable and she must make a decision between Soren and Kieran. This book will tangle your heartstrings and take you through Angela’s emotional roller coaster, as she deals with the heartfelt decision of who to choose. Throughout this series, Angela struggles with her feelings and commitment with the men she meets and her relationship with them. Who will Angela choose?
Aviva Vaughn descriptive writing takes you through a journey in these people’s lives. Her writing makes me feel like I am in all the locations the characters are in, you can almost taste and smell the food she describes within the story. This series is not over yet and I can’t wait to continue reading about Angela’s journey for love.
Here we go! This is the part we’ve been waiting for. You have to read them in order so don’t try to skip ahead to this one. The wait is worth it!
Now we’re back where it all began, Barcelona! But Angela is not with Soren on this trip… but with Kieranher new business partner for research to finish out her first book. Jealous long distance lover plus hunky business partner it is never good but bring them to the same city. Much less the same city that Angela and Soren met in… things are about to get crazy! I admit the last book Soren wore on me and I hopped over to Team Kieran. They both have their issues but Soren’s possessiveness would drive me absolutely insane. Angela is so strong, smart, and wonderful that I could see her with either character.
The time has come for Angela to choose… her new life and new career in Los Angeles or a life in London with Soren. What could possibly go wrong?

5 out of 5 stars
The story BECKONED, Part 4: From Barcelona with Love by Aviva Vaughn is a wonderful romance book. It is a story that was hard to put down once I started and hard to forget once I finished. It is the continuing story of Angela and Soren. The story shows the strain that the distance between these two, as she is in Los Angeles and he is in Barcelona, is having on their relationship. Angela has a decision to make. Will she choose to move to London with Soren or will she choose to stay in Los Angeles, a city that she dearly loves? Angela is a woman that has a passion for life, food and her business. Her life is ruled by emotions. Soren is a man that lives by logic and facts. The choice that Angela has is further complicated by a very handsome business partner. This is a book that had my emotions going up and down. You can feel just how hard it is for Angela to make a decision. I have grown to love her character and found myself wanting her life to be a happy one. I know that I would have a very hard time if put in her place. I also love the attention to detail that is given to the places that Angela visits when in Barcelona. This story is a further example of how the author writes wonderful stories with amazing characters. I can’t wait to read what she writes next.
Beckoned From Barcelona with Love By Aviva Vaughn is Book 4 of the series. You must read the books in order or you will not understand what it going on. Each book picks up where the last left off.
I enjoyed reading this series even though at times, I had to put the book down to read something else. I thought the series was slow moving but, Book 4 was my favorite by far. A lot happened in book 4 and kept my attention throughout the book. Angela and Soren went to school together at BIN and both were attracted to one another. Neither one let the other person know so for the semester Angela was there, they were just friends.
Now here they a long distance couple. There are visits cancelled, surprise visits and some arguments.
I didn’t care for Kieran in the beginning but, I’m this book my opinion changed. He is a real stand up honest friend to Angela even though he wants more. Soren even realized that Kieran is not the enemy. Will there be a future for Angela and Soren or will it be just another long distance relationship that crumbles.
