Bound By Hatred (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles)

Product Information

I'm having a difficult time rating this because while I really liked and enjoyed this one way more than the first, I honestly think a 3 star rating is way too high for this book. But to be honest as much as I loved Gianna in the first few books, in this I was a bit annoyed with her. As much as I admire her fiery spirit and bitchy attitude, the way she treated/thought when Mateo got shot made me mad as hell. There is just something about a guy chasing a girl around the world, while the girl can't get away from him fast enough that is speaking to my soul. ✨

She just has to insist on being on a high horse, showing how she doesn't care and want something different and yet to just complain again about something else. 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.Gianna hates everything her life represents. As a daughter of a Don, obedience is key. And being stubborn and defiant seems to be her downfall. All this fiery redhead has ever wanted is to be free. Instead she finds herself betrothed to her nemesis. Aaaanyway, Matteo is my favorite male character in this series ... by far, but honestly that's not hard to achieve, considering his competition is a cold fish and a ruthless monster. His worse character flaw is probably that you can't summarised his whole personality into one single word like the other guys. RIP 😔

He was perfectly aware of the effect he had on most women and obviously expected me to fawn over him as well. Hell would freeze over before that happened.On the other hand, Matteo was a nice and refreshing surprise. He was fun and had a great sense of humor. He was also shamelessly devoted to Gianna, standing by her side long after others would have given up on her. Matteo's character was more than I had ever expected, in all the best ways.
