Anna Lucia: Book 2 The Casa Bella Chronicles

About:
Vincenzo Castello
How hard it is to focus on the task at hand when your mind wants nothing more than to sink into sweet oblivion.
Almighty God, give me strength. Stone and weeds dug into his head, grit bit his face.
So much blood.
The weapon. He must act now or not at all.
Footsteps on gravel told of the enemies approach.
The Sicilian slowly tightened his grip. Through slit eyelids he watched and waited. The enemy raised his revolver.
Only God could have arranged this meeting. Only God could heal a woman so wounded. In His service by life or death; will this vow be fulfilled?

My Thoughts:
Anna Lucia, the second installment in the Casa Bella Chronicles is everything and more than book one. I adore this series and eagerly anticipate the third book. Come away into the Italian culture with the Castello family as you fall in love with Vincenzo and break free from your old life, like Anna Lucia. You will feel as though you are a member of the family as you sit at meals, laugh and even get into a fencing match. More than this, you will find themes of faith, love, courage and suspense throughout Anna Lucia.
This book is well researched and a remarkable historical Christian fiction novel. As I turned each page, I read with anticipation as to what was to take place next. The characters feel real to me and I had a difficult time putting this book down. Honestly, it will have you turning the pages as did book #1. I did my best to read a few pages at a time because I did not want to finish it all at once. This book will hold your attention and captive your heart. Overall, this is a wonderful and breathtaking novel. I cannot wait to read the third book in this series. The Casa Bella Chronicles is a truly a a delight and I highly recommend reading these books. I give this book more than 5 stars because it is a literary masterpiece and I do not say this lightly.

Holy Crow!!! I'm kinda stunned. SOOO glad you liked it. Humbled, honored and sincerely very grateful. I'm typing as fast as my fingers will go, but I'm Italian, so I talk with my hands. It slows me down.
