2.5 the blade 💫 These 2.5 stars are for Matteo and Matteo only. Matteo, sweetie,As for whatsherface, just

4 Flaws and All Stars ⭐When two opposing forces collide, you know the fallout is either going to be disastrous or rewarding. I can honestly say we got both scenarios in Bound by Hatred. The first meeting between Matteo Vitiello and Gianna Scuderi was explosive, and a future together would be a catastrophe.“You look gorgeous, Gianna. The pissed-off look goes really well with your dress.”Gianna hates everything her life represents. As a daughter of a Don, obedience is key. And being stubborn and d...

"If she liked to play with fire, fineI didn’t mind getting burned.I’d walk through flames for her." So....... every time I tell myself Nah girl !! you don't need to rant !! You don't need to make your reviewEiffel tower long 😏 But guess who will rant 😑😑😑😑ohhh come on............⚠️I am Alerting y'all about my upcoming⚠️Let's be real It was a D*&k move on my part to read Bound by love first 😑I AM SORRY okay? I kinda killed all the shockers of the book by reading BBL first 😐 But I took a

I hate GiannaI hate GiannaI hate GiannaGianna is a disgusting bitchy witch of a shrew. She does not deserve Matteo. He should have found a nice sweet woman. After that bitch decides to put Aria in the middle of her selfish plans to run away, I almost gave up reading. Then I got to the part where she picks up some asshole in Europe and decides to have sex without having any feelings for the guy. This girl just annoyed the mother effing F out of me. God I hate Gianna more than any heroine I've eve...

“Love is when you feel safe in someone’s arms, when he’s the first thing you want to see in the morning, love is surrendering. You risk getting hurt but you don’t care. You are willing to give someone the power to break your heart. Love means seeing someone at their worst and still seeing the good in them, love means someone is perfect for you despite their imperfections” 4 "Blade" stars!!!Gianna a girl with a passionate heart and with fire in her spirit. She's brave and sassy, which

Okay, I'm again torn how to rate this one. I still think that the one about Aria and Luca was probably the best one. This one was slightly better than the one about Valentina and Dante but still... Not really sure how to rate it. My main problem is that I cannot stand Gianna. In the previous books, I hated Rocco, their father and he was painted in this one especially bad. But you know what? I did not care. I simply cannot stand Gianna to that point that I would not care if they did something far...

I think any die hard fan of this series will tell you the same thing. This author does not write easily likable heroes, and she probably puts her characters in the most difficult situations too. Which is why I love this series. Truthfully I loved Matteo, I thought his character was probably the most likable as apposed to Luca, his brother who was an absolute asshole. I'd like to rant for a second and ask: Is it just me or was Luca absolutely horrible in this book? Disgustingly so? The way he tre...

2.5 stars ⭐️ I was looking forward to this story. When Gianna and Matteo were first introduced, I loved them. The banter, the snark, the constant back and forth, her hatred for the mafia and everything within their world, the way she stood up to her dick of a father and was so headstrong, was a turn on. But their book barely did anything for me. The character development in this book was stupid. Especially Gianna’s. Was she supposed to get more dumb as the book progressed? Her pride and stubborn...

3 - 3.5 StarsSo, a couple things...1) I am a huge liar. Obviously. But what can I say...?In my scathing review for book two, I said I wasn't going to continue with this series...and yet, here we are. If it makes you feel better though, I lied to myself too, cause I really did have no intention of continuing with this series; but alas, after a few duds in between this and book two, I thought, well fuck it. It's on KU, I already know the characters...blah, justification, blah...2) I actually semi-...

3.5 starsthese books are so funny they rly have me on the floor sometimes. i love that there's never a plot but then 80% comes around and for some reason russians happen 😂 just 'russians' in the vaguest sense lmao. no but this one was GOOD!! 🤡🤡 i liked it!! matteo is my smitten bb and Gianna is a whole ass mess, my fav combo. matteo saying he wants to slice up some guys brain so he doesn't possess memories of Gianna anymore 😂😂 I do wish that this book spent more time on Matteo hunting Gianna acr...

I enjoyed Gianna and Matteo's story. These books make for fast reading, a bit of angst/drama and a lot of steam, all set in the gritty mafia world. It's always fun to watch hate turn to love, and these two stubborn characters are explosive together. I really like this series, and I'm looking forward to more. That said, I have zero review mojo, so that's all I got ;)

4.25 '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! Matteo’s eyes held a clear message, now that he’d caught me, he would never let me get away again. Matteo has been intrigued by Gianna from the moment he met her. Their story has been two b...

This series is pretty bad and the writing is even worse, but ngl it also serves some needed comedy. The whole Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles series is funnier than most rom-coms nowadays. And honestly I just keep reading them, because they give me an excuse to take a shot every time Cora mentions Luca being a monster slash a beast slash how he crushed someone's throat. Yes, I'm going to make fun of that fact for the rest of my life. For one tiny second, Luca was a bit more likable, but then he h...

HmmmmSo this is me before reading this book And this is me after I love reading a book where they go from enemies to lovers, but this one didn't work for me!Gianna just ruined the book for me. She was so annoying, undecided and childish!!!I understood why she wanted to escape this life but she handled it in a selfish and immature way! Matteo however I loved and I felt a bit sorry for him at times. He deserve much better than Gianna!Oh well fingers cross the next one will be better :)

”Who doesn’t like a good miracle?” Gianna Scuderi isn’t going down like her obedient sister. She has no plans on marrying a Made Man and will stop at nothing to get away from her family and her sealed fate. Gianna is hardheaded, stubborn, snarky, proud and a complete pain in the ASS! Still, Matteo Vitiello has been taken with her from the day he met her and has asked for her hand in marriage from her father and there’s nothing she can do about it.Gianna escapes Matteo, her family, and the mob

I loved Matteo and Gianna more than I loved Luca and Aria. 😯😯 They had so much spark!

*4 I wish I could give you more Nutella jars Matteo* Ginna Scuderi watched her sister take the plunge when she was sold like cattle to New York Capo Luca Vitelleo. She thought it was over , no more arranged marriages and maybe she could skip her turn but what she didn't know was that she was already bounded way before she had a chance to breathe. With hate in her heart Ginna refuses to marry into the vitelleo clan or anyone whom she doesn't love for that matter. With her passion for freedom

I admit that i was having lots of expectations about that book and...I WAS SO FUCKIN' RIGHT!!!!! It was fantastic !!!I enjoyed everything about it!!! EVERYTHING!!!I was so sure that Gianna and Matteo will never dissapoint me. Their story thrilled me and i'm so happy and full right now...Gianna and Matteo was like an explosion when they were together.... They blow me off and i was overwelcome about this feeling!!!! Oh, yeah!!! Thank you, Cora!!! God bless you for these mind-blowing stories!!!...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 starsThis isn’t my favorite Born in Blood book, but it is a very unique and fantastic mafia romance.Gianna (18) is the sister of Aria from Bound by Honor. She catches the eye of her Luca’s brother, Matteo, at the wedding and engagement party of Aria and Luca, her brother-in-law. Gianna only wants to marry for love and she despises Matteo and runs away from the mafia to avoid marrying him. She is feisty, strong, and adorably stubborn!Matteo (21) is obsessed with Gianna and when she run...
