The second book in the Out of Time Series is The Girl Who Loved Caravaggio. It's full of suspense, mystery, art history, romance, and reincarnation. The plot began in the 1606s, when a young man named Caravaggio set out to fight for his muse and lover, Fillide Melandeoni, against an abusive pimp named Ranuccio. Caravaggio, who wanted to cut his opponent's testicle, instead cut a large artery in his thigh, causing Ranuccio to bleed to death.

In the present day, Alex Caine and Angela Renatus work as art investigators. They met while on a successful case to find the missing Leonardo painting. They're now lovers, each with their own problems. Angela is a psychic who sees visions of her past lives, and Alex suffers from PTSD as a result of his time as a Navy SEAL. They've been hired to find a missing Caravaggio painting, Nativity. What are they going to discover? What does this have to do with them? To find out, read The Girl Who Loved Caravaggio, by Bella Ami.

This is an intriguing novel, in my honest opinion. And it's both entertaining and educational. I enjoyed learning about the lives of artists like Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, and others. This story is similar to reading an art book with the addition of fiction to keep the readers interested. Reading about the various historical locations makes me wish I was there to see the painting they were looking at. And also, the different food that was mentioned, I'd like to taste someday. Someday, I'd like to visit Italy and Rome to see these artists' legacies and artworks. It's comforting to know that these men's efforts did not go unnoticed.

I felt sorry for Caravaggio because it was clear that he was lonely in all of his situations. If he had been given a second chance with Fillide, he could have had a second chance at truly enjoying life. I was relieved to see that most of the misconceptions about him were later dispelled.

I didn't like how the author ended the story. He could have given Anastasia/Natalia the opportunity to become a mother to her daughter. Not all stories end happily, and perhaps there will be more of them in the next book in the series.

This story contains no errors. As a result, it's exceptionally edited. I give this 4 out of 4 stars because I enjoyed it and thought it was worthwhile. The use of profanity was common. It didn't stop me from enjoying the story.

I'll recommend it to anyone who enjoys romance novels. This is exactly what they require. There are numerous lovey-dovey scenes in this film. It's also appropriate for fans of art novels. This will broaden their horizons. Because of the explicit sexual content, young adults should avoid it.
