We have been introduced to Bethany and Alistair's complicated but wonderful relationship in book one. And I'd say that this latest installment does not disappoint as well – it’s fast paced, well written and beautifully characterized. The Penance of Black Betty is a bittersweet love story. Alistair learned while he was filming his movie that Bethany was brutally attacked and this caused her to lose her memory of the last 10 years…including him. Bethany struggled to recollect her life. Alistair promised not to leave her side and put all his efforts to win back the love of his life. He has to fight to retain her!How do you fill in the gaps? How long can you stand searching for answers? Will love be enough for Bethany and Alistair to put back the pieces of the puzzle together?But true love never surrenders. It might get tired but little rest is enough to feel it again even better cause true love would never complain, it would always find way to understand pain.This story is deceptively simple, but digs far deeper. It goes beyond a simple romance; even though it’s on the light and easy side of reading, it had surprising depth and warmth and it’s very clear that this book is a book from the heart. The story flows beautifully, sweeping readers along in a tide of tension. Kelli Maine is a gifted storyteller who describes her scenes with careful detail yet strong emotions.
