This wedding wasn't about love or choice. It was about duty and honor, about doing what was expected." Aria is only fifteen years-old when she is told that she has been promised to marry Luca. At twenty years-old, and with reputation as a cold-blooded killer, marriage to Luca is a terrifying future for Aria to behold. Seemingly overnight her world is turned upside down, as she becomes the property of a man she only knows enough of to fear. Her anxiety and fear only seems to grow during the three years she spends finishing high school and counting down the days until her life as she's known it comes to an end.

I wish I had a sister like Gianna or Aria, their interactions were unbearably cute and filled with fierce sister energy. Not them already missing each other after only a couple of days spent apart. 😂🥺 The plot is really interesting as Valentina’s secrets from her former marriage are revealed and she is allowed to work in one of the family owned casinos. She also takes her best friend position to Bibi to the max… go girls!A slow burn Mafia romance. A book on marriage, dignity, love, understanding, kindness, sacrifice and care. Highly recommended!!! Enjoy!! Maybe you don’t want to admit it, but it excites you to be with someone like me. If a normal guy tells you he’d kill and torture to protect you, he’d be lying, exaggerating at best, but I’m making a promise I can keep.”

En los libros anteriores no la soportaba en el de Aria y Luca yo estaba ay SHUT UP Gianna me desesperas casi casi como Kiko del chavo del 8 y aquí dije Dios dame paciencia porque la quiero matar. These are the top two qualities about him I loved most. How he fought the world for his wife I Loved it about him. I was in awe of him because of that.He was mine and I was his' stars 🌟 If she liked to play with fire, fine. I didn’t mind getting burned. I’d walk through flames for her. Mafia romances tend to include marriage of convenience, but this? This was more like a marriage of obsession on one side, and a marriage of hatred on the other! When Aria marries Luca at eighteen, she is resigned to her fate. Committed to performing her duty as a mafia wife, to solidify the union between her Chicago family and her new husband's New York family, she never expects to love her husband. In fact, she is determined to hate him. The Kiss Thief , Sparrow, Playing with Fire are my classic favourites, those books also had cheating but they were far from lovers or even friends so it didn’t matter a bit to me

There isn’t enough room in our bedroom for me and the memories of your past. If you ever decide you want to give this marriage a chance, then you can come to me and apologize for what you said. Until then, I’m done with us.”

Bound By Duty by Cora Reilly Summary

mode and had already formed a steady connection then Luca cheated so I couldn’t cope up with it well. They Protected each other and were there for each other every time through out book and I live for things like that let’s be real. I listened to the audiobook of Bound by Honor and it was narrated by Juliana Solo. This was my first audiobook by this particular narrator and I thought she did a good job. I do think she sounded a little older than eighteen, which is the age of the heroine but she didn't sound old. She did a nice job with the voicing of Aria and expressing her emotions through the story. Si van a empezar a leer este libro tengan bien claro que se desarrolla en Medio de la Mafia Italiana y es bien sabido que este ambiente es machista. Por lo que el libro contiene muchas situaciones que les podrían molestar. Before I even explain why, let me just say Matteo is mine! I loved him and how closed off he was but at the same time he was so open. Yes, I know that doesn't make much sense, but it also kind of does. He was closed off and kept to himself but his actions - even the extremely brutal ones - showed that he really cared. Everyone thought that he was just pursuing Gianna because she was a challenge to him, but the way he went after anyone that even dared to hurt her showed that he cared more about her than just teaching her a lesson. I loved seeing the silent and deadly side to him just as much as seeing the vulnerable side to him that came out when he thought Gianna would run again.

I hated everything about Gianna in the glimpses we got of her in the first two stories. She's such an obnoxious, hateful and mouthy bitch to everyone. My biggest pet peeve in stories are unlikable heroines and Gianna fit the bill for that perfectly. AND she was a selfish asshole. I was originally going to skip this story all together because I knew I'd still hate her, and life is too short to read unlikable bitch heroine stories. I feel I have to warn you that if you haven't read the first book then this review will be slightly spoilerish. This book has a lot of angst, Gianna is torn between what she knows is wrong (mob life) and her attraction to Matteo. The fact that she's attracted to him make her feel even worse about herself, she knows about the kind of man he is, the men he's killed without remorse. Whenever they're in the same room she lashes out at him, basically being a bitch. I'd be lying if I told you I hated this, I love abrasive heroines especially if the hero is persistant, broody and completely alpha.
