I’ll read anything Grace Callaway writes, and I think she delivers so well on creating characters you care about and want to see more from. While Conrad and Gigi are for sure the dominant couple in this book, I like how invested I am in the rest of the family and how the two other siblings love story’s will play out. I love this interconnection to this small town and I think it’s such a nice getaway from reality. The heat is high, the twists just on the right side of melodramatic, and the characters are so consistent to what I would expect. Gigi is absolutely the daughter of Marcus and Pandora, the way she is so scheming and confident while also endlessly caring and looking to do what’s best for others, screamed daddy and mama Harrington. I love this family so any time we spend with them is a win. Did the enemies turn lovers relatively quick? Sure. But there was still so much conflict after the “I love you’s” that I didn’t know how it would go. I enjoyed the small-town aspects of this historical romance, and the ghost story that seems to be intertwined in the series. Sooooo looking forward to Evie and James story since Grace writes such excellent second chance/marriage in trouble books, I know she’ll do these two justice.

This was another well written story where our heroine is so much more than the decorative accessory society would have had her be. She's got a brain and she uses it, not for personal gain but for the causes of this otherwise forgotten village. She is powerful and patient. Our hero cannot help but change his mind about his original ulterior motives. The reader will find themself changing their mind about him too.

When Conrad and Gigi meet, neither knows who the other is. Gigi surprises Conrad while he's bathing in a waterfall. They share a kiss before she runs away.
Conrad, a ruthless financier, is hiding his true identity. Turns out that he's in town for revenge on one of its citizens.
At first, Conrad and Gigi clash every time they come into contact. But, they also kiss every time they're in contact, too. There's an irresistible and fiery chemistry between these two.
This was a sexy, good story. I can't wait for James and Evie's book.

What a fabulous historical enemies to lovers romance!

Gigi and Conrad are at odds over a spa making them enemies, but they also share a a sizzling secret. How could I not fall hard for these two?! Their chemistry and banter was off the charts. The passion between Gigi and Conrad could light an entire village. I gushed over these two HARD! I liked how their romance developed and thought these two were perfect for each other.

The plot and the curse element were interesting and well done. I liked that we got more of the curse explained and am excited for more to be revealed. The plot had plenty of turns to keep me guessing to.

The spice was spectacular. I mean with their chemistry, how could it not be?

A great installment in this series! I cannot wait for the next one.

I was so excited to revisit Chudleigh Bottoms in this second instalment of the Blackwood Legacy series.

And Grace Callaway does it again with her combination of spice, intrigue, family and banter.

Sassy Gigi and “nothing can touch me” Conrad were well matched. We first met Gigi in book one of the series and it was fun to see her FMC energy come out in Two Secrets to Surrender.

Poor Conrad and his secrets. You know that's never going to go well. At times I felt as if I was in a slow motion car crash…you know when you're yelling at the page? I had a few of those!

I enjoyed seeing more of the Blackwood family in this book. They are certainly getting attached to Chudleigh Bottoms. James and Evie's story is up next.

Conrad is a ruthless businessman with secrets. He runs across Gigi and finds her irresistible.
He has goals for revenge but her faith in her village and support throws him so he has to find another way.
Their relationship is tumultuous and ever so enticingly sensual with many encounters.
But obstacles abound to keep them from moving forward including her family.
Loved the storyline and the ongoing Ravenswood family from the parents with their own story to the challenges of her brothers.
Highly Recommend.

Well this was absolutely delightful. Gigi is the daughter of a previous Callaway couple and the youngest in the family. She’s protected and cosseted and a bit spoiled but she hungers for more. Wealthy businessman Conrad Godwin has secrets and a deep desire for vengeance. His past is dark and full of scars, physical and emotional. I loved watching these two match wits while fighting and then giving into their attraction. Can’t wait for the next one in the series.

Gigi, an aristocratic woman, has made a happy life for herself in Chuddleigh Bottoms, and has found purpose by helping revitalize the local spa. Her path crosses with Conrad Godwin, a ruthless businessman, with designs on purchasing the spa as part of his path towards revenge. Despite their cross purposes, the chemistry between the two can't be helped and they quickly find themselves unable to keep away from each other (not that Conrad tries very hard). Though the more that Conrad's past and true motives are revealed, the more Gigi has to question who she's given her heart to, and can she trust Conrad to keep it safe.

The Blackwood Legacy series is one that I've eagerly anticipated each entry for, and I can happily say that doesn't look like it will change since James and Evie's story in the next book feels right up my alley. While I loved Gigi, Conrad wasn't entirely my favorite and I could've done with a bit (or a lot) more groveling from him before all it said and done.
