Twisted Loyalties (The Camorra Chronicles Book 1)

Product Information

El amor es lo que nos hace humanos, lo que hace que la vida valga la pena. El amor es incondicional” She made me betray Remo, something I’d never considered before, she made me break my oath of putting the Camorra first. Again, the fact that he implies he can get with her even if she doesn't want to, basically not caring about consent . . . )

Do you think they will even consider talking to us?” Aria asked. She still wasn’t sure why she was here in the first place. She didn’t have any useful information about the Camorra. But his attraction to Leona soon puts his unwavering loyalty to the test. Is Leona worth risking everything he’s fought for, and ultimately his life?

A Taste of Obsession

Leona no fue tan relevante, no me desagrado pero no es que haya aportado nada, eso sí es una protagonista diferente ya que ella no es una Principessa de la mafia.

This is a gripping story where the crulest of worlds and actions freeze the emotions, and where honor, duty and loyalty get conquered by the purest of emotions - love. Aside from the fact that I should’ve read that series first, I loved this book. I honestly went in with no expectations because I’ve heard so many complaints about Cora Reilly’s books, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed reading about Fabiano and Leona. While I was quite enjoying this in the beginning, my enjoyment was faltered around the 25% mark. What bothered me the most were the main characters, Leona and Fabi, and their relationship. For starters, I think Leona has got to be one of the most ridiculous and stupid characters I’ve read about. While her innocence and naiveness is very clear from the beginning, it didn’t start bothering me until she started making it clear that she was going to have no common sense, logic, and dignity. First by getting inside Fabi’s car (who was a stranger at first) and trusting him (since she didn’t know who he was), to then giving her father money over and over again, right from the beginning. Considering she had no good relationship with her father, I was surprised at how easy she was for her dad to manipulate and convince. From the beginning, he used the money she first gave him on his gambling and addiction instead of buying her food. He then asked her to buy them food. Later on, he stole her money because he knew she was getting some from Fabi. Later on, he was drowning in debt, and she was still trying to cover his ass by paying them off. While at first it was understandable, it got to the point where I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that this girl wanted to go to law school and study to become a lawyer but be this easily influenced and dumb. Tiene como protagonista a Fabiano Scuderi, hermano de alguna de las protagonistas de la primera serie.

In Dire Straits

The theme of this cycle, Temptations, revolves around the idea that each of the Great Clans has a desire or goal that they pursue no matter the cost, even when it may affect their primary “approach” to the conflicts in Rokugan. With that being said, there's no denying I'm excited to read the rest of the series and finish it. My friends have hyped this series and some of the other books for me too much that I can't bring myself to read anything else at the moment. Not only that, but I had never read mafia romance books before, although I grew up watching telenovelas where they were common to this book. I don't know, guys... I respect all of it. I really like reading about characters that own their shit, have their standards and set their boundaries. Aria glanced at Growl. He had fled Las Vegas six years ago after he’d killed the Camorra’s Capo Benedetto Falcone. From what he’d told them, the Camorra was far worse than the Outfit or the Famiglia. They still dealt in sex slavery and kidnapping, besides the usual business of drugs, casinos and prostitution. Even in the mafia world, they were considered bad news. “You did?” Leona was raised by two dysfunctional parents one addicted to drugs the other addicted to gambling a bad combination, a loveless upbringing.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if in the future, while fingering her, he’d stop to think “hmmm how many fingers would Remo put inside of her?? One? Two?” Nino: I feel like he's one of those who doesn't talk much, but will sneak up on you when you least expect it and can be dangerous when provoked. I know his book is next (which I'll most likely read after I post this review LOL) so I'm excited about that! Just give me all you have,” he said, his fingers on my wrist as much to keep me from leaving as it was to keep himself upright. Guilt filled Aria. She and her sisters were the reason why the truce between the Chicago Outfit and the New York Famiglia had broken. Her marriage to Luca was supposed to create a bond between the two families, but when her youngest sister Liliana fled Chicago to marry Luca’s soldier Romero, the Outfit’s Boss Dante Cavallaro declared war on them. He couldn’t have reacted any other way.Family, loyalty, courage, fight, love…these things mean nothing to her. I don’t care if she talked to Adamo or made some shit better, she’s unworthy of being part of the family. Savio: I don't really have a clear opinion of him yet. I just know he's a manwhore who goes from one woman to the next and that's it lol. I'm kinda curious of his story. THE WAY HE JUST CHANGED TOPICS FROM TALKING ABOUT HIS FAMILY TO TELLING LEONA HE WANTS TO SEE HER NAKED UGH SO DREAMY)
