⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.5 starsThis book is probably someone’s least favorite of the series, but it holds a special place in my heart. It is so sweet and unique, it is one of my favorites. I believe this is the book that introduced me to Cora Reilly and for that I will be forever grateful. I wish, however, that it was more clear about how long of a span of time this book takes place over.Leona (19) loves her parents to a fault. She is caring and very loyal to the ones that she loves. She is strong and has d...
4.5 STARS! "Remember where your loyalties lie." The original queen of dark mafia romance is back - and better than ever. This was a VERY SOLID read.[But before I begin, a short side note: YES!! To my ever-lasting delight, Cora Reilly finally got herself a very capable editor!! ]Aria's little brother, Fabiano is all grown up, and through events explained in the prologue, he's ended up as the top enforcer for the brutal Las Vegas Camorra. He's cruel and violent, and doesn't pretend
I've enjoyed books I've read by Cora Reilly in the past, but this is the first book I've really actually loved from her. From the start, I was obsessed with Fabiano and Leona's romance and how they were so attracted to each other but knew they shouldn't want each other. The fighting plot line was also something I loved about this book and it definitely got crazy at the end. I seriously had no idea what direction this book was going to go and I loved how much it kept me on the edge of my seat. Th...
"I want her at my side. I want to spend my life with her... She's seen me at my worst, and she's still here." If you’ve read the Born in Blood books before this, you’ve already met Fabiano especially from when he was younger. Now he’s the enforcer of the Camorra after Remo Falcone saved him from the streets.I’m actually surprised that I really enjoyed this book. I liked Fabi more than the male leads in the BIBMC books. I also really liked Leona, she’s been through so much and wasn’t raised by
update: july 2021changing my rating to 3 stars bc, after hearing my dear friend Elena's rants about this book, it was making me second guess everything LMAO. i'm still standing by everything i said in my original review tho: the romance, but also fabiano (H) and leona (h) as individual characters were meh and the falcone brothers (minus savio bc i only liked him in books 2-4) made this tolerable. 🥰⊱ ──────ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ────── ⊰ original review: 4 stars ☆okay tbh this was a wild ride and it intrigued m...
MY REVIEW: can also be found on my blog: ➽ KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS TITLE: Twisted LoyaltiesSERIES: (The Camorra Chronicles, #1) GENRE: Romance | Mafia PUBLICATION: October 1st 2018TWISTED LOYALTIES: Is the first full length novel within the (Camorra Chronicles#1 ) series by new to me author Cora Riley.

2.25 underwhelmed 💫 Stay, even if I’m not worth it. Song : Sal Houdini - I Keep FallingI’ve been dragging my feet for so long when it comes to this series, but I really wanted to read about Remo Falcone so I finally decided to just do it. Twisted Loyalties ended up being a very underwhelming beginning to the series, but I have high hopes for the next books. ➻➻ The Story Fabiano Scuderi is the enforcer of the Camorra mafia, a role he plays after being shunned by his Ch
3-STRICTLY-ONLY-FOR-FABI-STARS⭐️alright so this was okay and a bit cliche but Fabiano was surprisingly sweet and Leona’s boring as fuck (we’ll get into that. watch). yes i’ll continue w this series bc Remo’s got me leashed by the neck and plus i know it gets better but i’ll be skipping the fifth book(i think) since majority of my mutuals hate it and i know i will too. so that’s that. What annoyed me the most though was that the romance wasn’t convincing AT ALL bcs all i felt was lust between Fab...
Haha mafia style friends-to-lovers? That’s the first. I heard a lot of good things about this author and she didn’t disappoint! The book had everything I wanted. Maybe it will not blow your mind, but it’s a very well-written story with nice characters and a bit of suspense at the end. I definitely see the potential here! Please let me know if there are any books by this author that you would recommend!
Honestly, I enjoyed this book! I know many people didn't connect with the characters and I agree that sometimes they felt a bit off... And please, not again with the super hard to get V card as it happened with Aria! But I kinda get why she did it, but, come on, she was a bit obtuse sometimes. And I didn't like that the H was Fabiano, it didn't bode well with the image we had from him, on how sweet and caring he was on previous books… but I guess people and circumstances change and this book did...
2.5/5I've seen this series around for a while and wanted to give it a try, cause I haven't read a lot of mafia romances lately and heard that the family dynamics is amazing. Well let's say I wasn't impressed with this one. The characters seem interesting enough, especially Remo and Nino Falcone, but where was the plot ? The majority of the book was Leona working in a bar, Fabiano driving her safely home from the bar, Leona 'saving' her parents from getting themselves killed and the occasional ca...
My interest in reading Cora Reilly’s books started around the beginning of this year when I saw some specific quotes I liked. I had to approach it with interest and caution, as most of my close friends have read and enjoyed this series. While I don’t normally read these types of books, I wanted to give it a chance to see what the hype was about. Admittedly, what started off as a mildly enjoyable mafia romance book started to become one of the most irritating books I’ve come across.We follow Fabi...
Supposedly, I'll wait Bound by Love(Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles #6) before I jump into this spin-off series but screw it. I didn't even know it was released or it's about the Scuderi sisters' youngest brother, Fabiano Scuderi. My god, this boy is all grown up and his asshole cruel father changed his persona. He's no longer the sweet, gentle boy I knew in Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles.Fabiano is no longer part of The Chicago Outfit and became part of The Camorra - a mafia group ruling Las Veg...
so, I fell for Luca and Aria in Born in blood mafia chronicles and I was hooked...whether I liked/loved other books in the series, more or less, only spikes up the notion that I'm still looking forward to reading more about Scuderi Family, and now, realising that the smallest family members have grown up and now have their own spin off series going for them is a fucking bonus LOLSo, BR-ing with my girl Shanny *wink*babe, this is how it all started, remember?! *sigh*This was effin good...I might
3.25 stars kid version of Fabiano is waaay better. sorry 😅i thought this was just okay. Fabiano seemed wishy-washy about his relationship with Leona - which i totally get cuz loyalty and honor and blood blah blah blah. i wasn't convinced with his "character development" cuz he felt emotionless?? i don't know. i don't know how to describe it. i guess i just didn't believe in his "love" cuz what the f when did he even fall in love with her?? i know with Leona he's basically he protec, he attac and...
Not gonna lie, I avoided this for a few years based on bad reviews and never being in the mood for mafia romance. And honestly? I’m glad I ignored all my preconceived notions. I felt like this was the perfect mix of grit and violence on the mafia side. It reminded me a lot of Scarface, it certainly made me nervous like that movie did. On the flip side the romance wasn’t bad either. It was a slow burn and if you know me you know I’m not a patient gal when it comes to my smut. That is unless it’s
I feel like I need a "Julia made me do it" shelf
2.5 StarsI originally DNF'd this, but have been on a Cora Reilly mafia re-read kick (for whatever inexplicably unknown reason that I cannot even fathom) and decided to go back and finish this...I can't say that it got all that much better for me. In fact, the only thing about this that surprised me was that I still had blue lady balls at 84%. However, I did like the characters. In fact, I went back and re-read Remo's book after this. Sigh. I have issues. I have no idea. Anyway, this one was just...
As much as I love Fabi, but Leona's "mom" giving Leona advice on Love Life I am here like -I swear if that said "mother dearest" told me to marry Henry Cavill, I would marry Hitler 😒😑Anyway, I didn’t know how much I need a hero pampering her girl novel until now.Let's just come out and say it was a vanilla mafia romance and I love itFor a change, it was refreshing to read a book that is more focused on Hero Heroine's relationship other than SMUTThose little kiss and touch, stealing loving m...
Enjoyed this book. It’s slow burn mafia romance. Lots of blood and violence, and a push and pull relationship. It’s an enjoyable read if you like mafia romance. Big bad Enforcer and the sweet virgin who doesn’t know mafia stuffs.Also I took a star away, because there are a bunch of grammar and misused word mistakes. They are very distracting since there are so many.
