Betrayal A Bella Terra Deception Novel Scarlet Deception Christina Dodd 9780451413208 Books

Secrets of Bella Terra, Revenge at Bella Terra, and Betrayal at Bell Terra are a trilogy and the books must be read in order or the reader will never be able to follow the unfolding mystery which was never quite resolved as far as I am concerned. But I say nothing about it because "spoilers, sweetie."

I read these as part of an on-going project to vet potential additions to a booklist a friend is assembling as a service to the people in her group, adult children of parents with PTSD. The people with PTSD are the three male leads, brothers, and each stars in his own novel. By the time we readers meet them, these men have done their homework for the most part, with an exception and to be fair, the guy is in a trap. They all live on the family property, Bella Terra, and cherish their beautiful earth. Bella Terra is a fascinating place.

Something I appreciated is that one of the brothers voluntarily committed himself to psychiatric treatment and did hard work. Another brother dove into what he is really good at and broke the cycle. The third brother, well, he's trapped in a situation.

Very much enjoyed reading these and if there wasn't that one detail which I feel still needs resolution, I would have given it four stars. Of course, as I am of Italian heritage, I really enjoyed that it was important to the family to maintain their Italian heritage. Very enjoyable people with wonderful depth to their characters. The plot spanned three books and was complicated enough with lots of twists and suprises to warrant three volumes.

Betrayal A Bella Terra Deception Novel Scarlet Deception Christina Dodd 9780451413208 Books Reviews

I like the way Christina Dodd writes a lot, because she puts a little bit of everything that makes a romance book interesting in her books. And she is true to form in this story, there is mystery, suspense and steamy kitchen scenes 😊 and also witty dialogue. Dan the hero is one of those alpha type brooding forceful and caring heroes who some people don't like but I do in books. Pepper the heroine is strong, smart, independent, funny, (but to me she seemed selfish and whiny, that is why I gave it only 3 1/2 stars otherwise it would of been 4 , she was annoying me.) They have good chemistry together and the story keeps you hooked because you want to see the bad guy and girl brought to justice.
Christina Dodd pulls out all the stops in this third and final book of her Bella Terra Trilogy. A Trilogy about three brothers, raised partially by their grandparents when their feckless but charming father manages to marry and divorce or abandon the women in his life. A loveable, useless rogue that shows us the damage neglect can cause.

I will say this from the start. I LOVED THIS SERIES!! Now I have enjoyed Christina Dodd for a long time. Amazingly longer than even I realized, back to a series written and published by silhouette (I think) called her Lost Texas Heart Series.. all the way to her PNR books about the Wilders and the chosen and toss in her governess series as well! She is a gifted writer who manages to make the characters define the story even when it is filled with avenging princes, deals with the devil and a mystery of a lost bottle of wine, Christina Dodd manages to treat us every time one of her books goes to print.

With that being said.. Betrayal had to be one of her best books ever! Noah Di Luca, the charming well adjusted youngest Di Luca brother has some serious secrets he is hiding that could literally destroy his family. He has always been considered the brother who managed to escape the fiasco of their father's trainwreck of a life and yet he too has some secrets he has kept hidden. His life hasn't been quite so easy going and he has spent his entire adulthood protecting his family from someone.. A secret he has never shared.. Even going so far as to give up the love of his life.. To push her away and force her to get on with her life. A life without him.

Penelope knew at 18 that she had found love and was forced to realize and accept that some love isn't returned. She has spent the last nine years getting on with her life. She has been married, widowed, watched her mother die and finally discovered who her father was. She is back in Bella Terra for one reason and one reason only. She wants to meet her father. Instead she headlong into her past. Barely in town she meets Brooke Di Luca, another member of the Di Luca school of Road Kill, not knowing that Brooke has found her HEA with her Di Luca, Penelope engages in first a friendship then a accepts a job. Only to discover that this job comes with the Di Luca's! Most especially, the ever so charming Noah.

What she thinks is an easy designing job quickly draws her into the family mystery. Discover where the missing bottle of wine is.. meet her father (of course he has to be the Di Luca's oldest enemy) stay alive and most importantly stay away from Noah Di Luca.. who runs hot and cold and she never quite knows what to expect from him. All she knows is that the fire is still there, the love is still there and she has no clue how to combat it.

Since this was the third book in the trilogy, there is so much that has been explained in the first two books.. READ THEM FIRST!! Ms Dodd does a wonderful job with her romantic suspense and manages to twist and turn her way throughout the story. We are sure we know what is going on right up to the end.. and of course we never quite do. This book has plenty of depth, turmoil and suspense to make just about any reader happy. As far as I am concerned the only thing wrong with it is, well it's over. We may see the Di Luca's in another book at some point but I seriously doubt we will see them as they are in these books ever again. And they are so wonderfully charming and charismatic, completely swoonworthy!! I think every girl should get a Di Luca!! and if not she should read this series..
