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.

Aria and Luca's relationship took a bitter turn because Her elder sister obviously can't leave her unprotected while she ran away En lo personal no me molestan porque es realista, no digo que es aceptable solo digo que es apegado a la verdad para hacernos sentir más la historia. Y siendo sincera creo que, para ser un libro de mafia, es bastante ligero en cuanto a temas de violencia y abuso. No porque no los tenga, si no porque he leído cosas peores. If you're a reader who only cares about tropes and safety, you'll definitely hate that scene regardless. The book's only saving grace was the hero, Luca. He was hot,kind,dominating and at times vulnerably sweet.He kept all his promises to his wife and tried his best to work through different situations even when his wife and his sister-in-law was throwing things around and provoking him.

Details About Bound By Duty by Cora Reilly PDF

So just watch in incredulous fascination pampered mafia princess Aria shoot a Russian gangster in the head, not missing a shot on her first try ever, only to catch a stray bullet in her SHOULDER (🤣) from a seasoned mafia man (🤣🤣) in return (🤣🤣🤣), and don't ask questions. How he made an effort to impress Aria how gentle he was towards her was just purely beautiful 😭 I loved him for that. I really liked Matteo's character. He was completely enamoured with Gianna, and wanted her to trust him. Finally we get the story of Gianna and Matteo that we've been waiting for! Despite fighting it every step of the way, Gianna finally weds Matteo. Attraction has never been an issue for these two. In fact, that's the problem for Gianna. She is afraid of how much she wants Matteo.

But I took a little break after reading BBL so it was okay I was still super thrilled and excited 😍😍 throughout my reading session.

Bound By Duty by Cora Reilly Summary

Y la parte de mafia del libro pues si me dejó insatisfecha me hubiera gustado ver el lado más sádico de Matteo y en cuanto a Lucca me gustó cuando le dijo a Gianna sus verdades que era una perra con Matteo por eso no la tolera.

This book definitely put me through the ringer, angst-wise. I don't read too many books where it's the heroine panting after the hero and the hero acts like he doesn't care. That sums it up a bit too simplistically so let me elaborate. This is the second book in the "Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles", it's about a group of young women (all friends) who are thrust into arranged marriages. These girls are strategically matched to their spouses to gain more power and status in the Outfit. I enjoyed the first book "Bound by Honor" a lot, maybe it was because the hero was crazy jealous and possessive even though he did cheat... I don't know, what do you think?So I am not totally opposed with the idea of reading a book that has Cheating but Luca(H) and Aria(h) were already into Lovey-Dovey Aria Scuderi always knew she might never marry for love. But she never expects to be forced to marry Luca Vitello, a mob boss from NYC. Being forced to leave her siblings and family is bad enough, but she's a bit terrified of Luca. Luca is not an easy guy to love. There is one scene in particular where I just wanted to slap him silly, but by the end, he truly won me over. I rooted for Luca and Aria to make this relationship work and I loved watching them fall for each other. I’ve always liked morally grey characters, but there’s something different about reading this type of archetype within this particular setting, since it almost seems so close to real life. Lines are completely blurred. Their justifications now become your justifications. You weirdly understand their motives and character. You are far too beautiful and innocent to be married to someone like me, but I’m too much of a selfish bastard to ever let you go. Bound By Duty” is a modern masterpiece, a powerful novel that can be read on its own. This novel is written by Cora Reilly. She is a true storyteller, and Bound By Duty is her best book. It’s an epic tale of family, secrets, loss, marriage, betrayal, friendships, laughter, and regrets.

He think that he can tamed her and he wants Gianna to be his by any cost. He enjoyed every interaction with her and he can see how her body reacted near to him... So the cheating for me was not the major issue, it was safe sex. Also, speaking a woman who was unable to take the pill due to clots, he was more than selfish in his demands to her. The pill can cause blood clots that can lead to death. I know it's rare but it does Happen. Cora Reilly delivered a well written story about a young girl whose father promises her hand in marriage to Luca Vitiello, the oldest son of the New York Familia. Aria isn’t interested in being married to this handsome, scary, man and has lived an isolated life with her siblings. This arranged marriage will strengthen the bond between the Chicago family and the New York family against the threatening Russian families.
