Bound by Honor (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles) : Reilly, Cora: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Wow..... - I love a good mafia story. Hot, arrogant, alpha male with intelligence and a dollop of bad boy thrown in. This was one of the best I've read and I look forward to the rest in the series. Aria is a sheltered 15 year old girl whose mafia affiliated father tells her that she has been promised to the future head of the New York family to create peace between them. She's under no illusions of the type of men in the family and knows that her marriage will be full of heartache, pain and fear. Luca is 5 years her senior and a ruthless killer, womaniser and shows no emotion. After her 18th birthday they are married and Aria is moved away from her family to a place filled with loneliness and a gilded cage. At first everything seems hopeless and Aria seems destined to be miserable and isolated but slowly she begins to see pieces of the real Luca and the woman she becomes when she's with him. Their romance is a slow burn with all of the insecurities and misunderstanding of new relationships. The sex scenes grow in intensity and are well written (I kept thinking that Luca should write a textbook on his knowledge of seducing a virgin!). I hope we get to read more about Aria and Luca in the next book as I liked them both so much. Definitely worth reading, especially as it's free at the moment, but I would happily have paid for it and will be getting the rest of the series.
Review: entertaining read with a sexy alpha male - What I liked… The tension, I loved that Aria and Luca were thrown into this situation and how they handled it, of course it can’t be a romance without a few bumps and these bumps really helped with keeping me hooked into the story. Luca, I do like an alpha bad boy and the suited and booted type even more so, so he ticked all the boxes. The way he slowly starts to show his feelings for Aria made me swoon. The relationship that Aria has with her siblings, which I wished we got to see a bit more of but it was nice that in their fractured home situation that they stood by each other. What I didn’t like… I didn’t completely dislike Aria, I liked her honesty and how she chooses to get on with her situation even though she is terrified but I felt like I saw a glimmer of defiance that would turn into something more and it didn’t. She spent a lot of time flinching and being scared and not standing up for herself. I did like her but I feel she could have been more. I mean I know I’m reading a book about the Mafia and they have their own set of rules to live by and whilst in the end I loved it, my brain was at points also screaming at me that the whole wedding, looking at the sheets, girls being married off young was creepy. Summary… This was totally what I was looking for in a Mafia romance, a bit uncomfortable at times but mostly just an entertaining read that will get you a bit hot under the collar with a handsome alpha male.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hot, steamy and emotion searing
*by A***E on 18 June 2016*

My God this is the first of Cora`s books that I have read and oh my God it certainly won't be the last. So there's 15 year old Aria who's born into one of the mafia familia strict rules, dominating men (not in the nice kinky way) until she meets her future husband who ultimately turns her world around and shows her a great side to dominating alphas. This story has twists turns and really good ahhhhh moments but what really made it for me was the emotions that come through the book is so inspiring you feel as if your there right beside them and feel everything they feel not easy for all authors to grip you like this and oh God a big shout out to her sister proper little ball of anger fantastically written and comes across in the book you find yourself with a fist so many times it just radiates out the book. Although the books are around the £2.99 each Mark normally out of my book spending range for a series I will be making these luxury purchases you don't feel robbed at all as the book took me most of the weekend to read (not finished in 2 hours wondering if you can find a good free read to fill in the extra time) If you want a really good escape read full of emotion with some great passionate scenes I highly recommend these books.
