This sounds quite intriguing. I've read the sample of the previous book and I would like to read this book. I like that the book can stand alone. Thanks for the review

This sounds like a really interesting story. It is a great mix of romance and mystery. I am adding it to my TBR. Thanks for the great review.

At first, I wasn't sure what I thought about this book. However, after I kept reading your review I became instantly intriguied. The reincarnation is really interesting. I'm looking forward to reading it. Thanks for your review!

Angela's escapades in this book are quite daunting. This book seems interesting even though I am yet to go through the pages.

An excellent review. I liked it more than the sample of the book I read. You described in a page the entire book so I do not feel the need to read it anymore. Perhaps I am in that category that is offended by the coarse language. I suppose if it were a film, both language and erotic scenes would be more palatable but as it is, the style rather pushes me away from the first pages. Perhaps I know too much Italian.

The one greatest thing I love about The Girl Who Loved Caravaggio by Belle Ami is how the genres have been blended. The fact that it has some romance in it gives me the urge to read it. I will add it to my to read list. Great review.

Thanks so much for the review, but this just isn't my kind of book; I'm not interested in yet another a lost painting (too close to The DaVinci Code, which I didn't like, and this book's precursor, The Girl Who Knew da Vinci, which I also didn't want to read), nor do I care for the romantic aspects. I'm glad YOU enjoyed it, though!

What? Alex and Angela had another past liaison? That's totally out of this world. I am tempted to read this sequel to their unusual story.

I'm into the mystery novels but not into romantic ones, so I didn't want to try this one. But, after reading your review I changed my decision. I'm adding this book to my shelves. I will read it later. And thank you for mentioning that this book stands alone. I was worried I might not understand the story since I haven't read the first book of the series. Thank you!

A story that refers to a duel between two men in 1606 and then in the present the story seems to be repeated or at least in the dreams of Angela, one of the main characters. In short it seems an interesting novel part of the series Out of Time.

This book is a sequel but I am glad it can also stand alone. I love that the author is able to transition time periods very smoothly. Sounds like a wonderful read! Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

Wow, what a plot! I had no idea there were other books affiliated with this one. Thank you for mentioning that it can be read as a standalone anyway. I appreciate that even the secondary characters are developed and the book is edited well. Reincarnation is definitely up my alley. Great review.

Great review. I have read the first book and loved it so I can’t wait to read this one. More love, romance, and mystery with reincarnation and past lives. This is definitely on my must reads.
