***Actually 3,75 "A princess and a monster" stars*** We were waiting for this book for such a long time and finally, it's here!!!I have loved all the previous books in this series and i really enjoyed this one also, but damn it, there is a thing that we call it editing and there was none of this thing...There were too many errors in here and that was a little bit of disturbing...And what the hell happened with the POV's???? Why Cara had a first person POV and Growl a third person??? And some
Ooh, Cara and Growl. Beauty and the Beast, mafia style?????____________________________________SO FUCKING WORTH THAT LONG ASS WAIT!!!HEELLLLLLL YEAH!!____________________________________Such a beautiful story, with a timeless plot, an awesome theme, and original characters. Cara and Growl are seriously one-of-a-kind. I will never grow tired in rereading this book in the near future and will forever find the thrill in reexperiencing this world with lovable characters just as I do with the rest of...
3 -didn't leave me feeling the emotions I wanted to feel- StarsI have been waiting for what felt like AGES, to get my hands on this book and when it came out, I jumped on it like a dirty rash. Unfortunately, my high expectations may have been a bit too high. I understood the bones and directions of this story. I respected the H's background and accepted that he was never gonna swoon me off my feet. I even understood the h's survival strategy and her need to use the H to serve her own purposes. I...
As a reader who has been a fan of Cora Reilly's books for almost three years now, I'm a little disappointed on how this series has been turning out. It seems as if this series gets worse as it progresses instead of better. Bound by Honor was nowhere near perfect but it was and always will be the best in the series for me. The first book had so many writing errors and plot holes but it had potential and an interesting storyline. All the relationships and chemistry between the other couples were b...
I have a bit of hate-love relationship with all these books. I don't want to read them because they usually make me very angry but at the same time, I sort of like them?However, even I have limits. I started reading this and then I realised that I don't want to read this one.I'm not interested in Growl. I don't like him. I don't want to like him. I just want the Falcones to get him with a red bow on his head to do with whatever they wish.
4 StarsI initially gave this 3.75 stars, rounded up...but really, it's all the same at this point, no?Anyway, I really enjoyed this one. It was a lot shorter than I expected it to be. And things were a little rushed sometimes...but I just loved Growl. He was so grumpy and sweet and I loved how his and Cara's relationship developed...I just wish it had developed more.Regardless, I just love this series and I really enjoyed this installment. I wanted more.
2.75 "avenge me"starsi ' ll stand by that comment above!This was so not what hoped it would be :/I can't say i was totally bummed but it was awkward...and the general impact was "off"So, the "protected" mafia princess is given by the Camorra mafia boss as a "gift" to his best enforcer Growl (a cruel feared monster, killer and what not) meaning to be a punishment cause her father betrayed the boss. Betrayal is punished by death.She is to be dealt by Growl in any way he wants-she 's his to own, to...
There’s a new version out so I’ll be reading it soon...
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫✨ 3.75 starsThis book is quite intense and different from the rest of the series. I could see where this would be someone’s favorite book even, but it wasn’t really for me. It also would have been a lot better as a standalone novel. Cara’s father is a traitor to the Camorra in Las Vegas and as a punishment for her, she is given to Growl, a mafia henchman. She is really caring, strong, and independent.Growl is quite content with his violent, simple life. He was still a mystery throughout t...
Of course it takes the monster to get my favorite from this series so far. (I've skipped book 2 and 4 so no biggie) This might be an emotional rating, I just finished it and I loved it so much I wish I could start again from scratch, so I haven't had time to think this through. There isn't a single objective thing that made this stand out comparing from other mafia books, and in particularly from the author's other work. But I just loved this one, it worked for me. I loved the rawness from his f...
5 (I waited long enough) StarsWhen I first discovered Cora Reilly, I read her whole series in a few days. Yup, I binged read like a mad woman, so you can see that I was devastated that Bound by Vengeance took over a year to write. I’m not saying I can’t wait a year to read a book, I’ve done it lots of times, but it was really sad when the author dropped the face of the earth kind of went MIA.I wasn’t mad, just highly disappointed, but I understand stuff happens in life.Moving on to the reviews:I...
2 Long Years Later...Hot damn. Was this worth the wait? Abso-fucking-lutely. I demolished this in one sitting, Growl is my new favourite in this series, he was honestly just so adorably tortured you just wanted to squeeze the big guy.Cara's father betrays the Las Vegas Outfit, as punishment the head of the Vegas Familia gives her as a gift to Growl as punishment. Growl is an outscast and everyone fears him, he has known nothing but loneliness and pain in his life, and when he receives the beauti...
I'm gonna start by saying that this book was way more entertaining that Lily's book for example and I don't understand why it has the lowest rating in the series. I mean, it's a breath of fresh air, and while Cara's actions and thoughts might seem like a contradiction and her behaviour different than what might be more logically acceptable, it makes sense to me. She definitely was intrigued by Growl before she found herself stuck with him and it wasn't her opinion of the man that was holding her...

Maybe because it's been ages, since I've read a Born In Mafia Chronicles that Bound by Vengeance hit me so hard in the booo booo! No jokes. No lies! This one really got to me. Couldn't make up my mind on crying or throat punching the hell out of my tablet but either way I was one pissed off chick. That a very good thing! Goes to show just how good the book was, heck didn't even care about the editorial errors. Yes those were in here, but damn the storyline was amazing. Small confession...baw
DNF @ 65%I'm sorry, I can't finish it. I can't.Too many eye-roll moments. Too many errors. Annoying heroine. Flat characters.Repetitive, boring and predictable.The only thing I liked was the hero. In the first scene.
I literally did not want this book to end and that's all on Cora Reilly! And yes the story wasn't perfect, yes it needed some serious editing but if I'd had to wait another few weeks or months for this book I would have exploded! So lack of editing aside this book was all greatness and the slow burn we all know Cora Reilly for!Cara is given to Growl as a sort of spoil of war, for her it's a punishment but for Growl it's getting to have what would otherwise have never been his for the taking. Whi...
This book is not meant to be sold yet!What happened? Has Amazon got an early draft? There are so many mistakes, editing errors and inconsistencies. The book needs to go back to beta read and then editing.I'm pained to write this as I really loved Born in Blood and had so high expectations about this book but this is unacceptable.Just to give you a taste:1) Editing errors (plenty):--I'd never felt more alone in her life.... whereas it should be in MY life;--I could reach (...) tore at her heart.....
Okay... so after waiting for over a year we finally got the book. I read it the day it came out... slept on it and then decided to write this review, after a lot of thinking. Ive decided to rate this book only on the basis of the story and story alone. There were a lot grammatical errors in this book. I groaned and whined few times when i had to re-reread a sentence to try to understand it or when words were missing or misplaced. I'm normally not very nice with my ratings on books with errors bu...
3.5 Something Precious Stars ⭐I was weak and a sinner but in the brief moments of pleasure I’d felt more alive than at any other point.In my opinion Bound by Vengeance was the sweetest story I’ve read thus far in Bound in Blood series. Ironic since first appearances portray our hero Growl as a monstrous killing Enforcer. Supposedly unfeeling and a little dim, you should wonder how a person becomes this way.Cara is typical mafia royalty, raised to be married off by her father’s choosing with very...
