Penelope is an admirable character. She works hard for
everything she has in life and has managed to make herself
into someone she never would have thought possible. Noah,
the love interest, broke her heart years ago. During the
nine year interim, before they meet again, Penelope married
and acquired a job she loved...as well as a few secrets.
Noah is caught up in what some people may call "the family
business" while others would call it a gang.
Noah's character is very manly. He manages to be both
gruff and charismatic. Penelope is easy to like. She
seems so sincere and sweet. The other characters,
particularly Noah's family, are great supporting characters
and give insights into the two main characters. readers will
enjoy meeting these characters...though the antagonists are
impossible to like.
Noah and Penelope's relationship was ok, but it seemed a
little bit like "instalove." Noah completely dropped
Penelope years before and she was heartbroken, but it
didn't seem like he really apologized or even thought he
did anything wrong. Overall, the love scenes were
believable and sweet, but the relationship itself was a
little lacking. Betrayal is a perfect addition to the
Bella Terra Deception series.
At nineteen, Noah Di Luca was Bella Terra's golden boy,
handsome, confident, and untouched by the shadows that
tormented his brothers...or so it seems. Driven by ambition,
beautiful teenage Penelope Alonso fought her way out of the
ghettos. During one hot summer, they came together in the
sweetness of first love...until his past reared its ugly
head and Noah walked away.
Nine years later, Penelope returns, never imagining she'd
see Noah or that one glance would wake their fiery passion.
As peril builds around them, Penelope has one choice: to
survive, she must once again trust the man who betrayed her.
Even with terror stalking through Bella Terra's streets,
love may be the most dangerous choice of all.
