Twisted emotions by Cora Reilly
Synopsis...
Nino Falcone is genius and monster. As the right hand man and brother of the Capo of the Camorra, his lack of feelings is a blessing, not a curse – until his brother asks him to marry for the sake of the Camorra.
Kiara Vitiello, cousin of the Capo of the New York Famiglia, is chosen to marry Nino Falcone to prevent war with the Camorra, but what she hears about Las Vegas makes her veins pulse with terror. After her father betrayed his Capo and paid with his life, her family thinks marriage is her only chance to bring honor to her name; but only Kiara knows she’s a faulty prize given in return for peace.
A man incapable of emotions and a woman scarred by the past – an arranged marriage with the potential to unite, or destroy…
My thoughts...
Now, I’m not embarrassed to say that I have re-read the born
in blood mafia chronicles series more
times than I can remember but now, I feel history is repeating itself with the
Camorra chronicles- those re reading obsessions are here! Ugh every time a new book from
Reilly is released, man it does not disappoint! Nino and Keira’s story are the
epitome of swoony, seductive, hot, dangerous all at the same time! God, how does
she make these swoony heroes?! The arrange marriage, and the mafia tropes are
my favourites and having an author that writes both of them in the same book -
HEAVEN!
Nino, I must say, I had my doubts, whether you will live up
to your competitors – Lucca, Fabiano, Matteo , Dante the list goes on, but boy
did you wipe that doubt out in seconds! Handsome? Check. Dangerous? Check. Hot
and sexy? Check. Broody and intimidating? Double check. Although all the heroes in the series live on
the principle of not giving in to emotions – Nino lives by this to a tea- every
emotion he blocks out, as he believes it will only make him weak and vulnerable
– something he has learnt from his painful past. Now this trait has become him,
until Keira walks in and everything slowly changes…
Keira is what you call a beautiful, innocent heroine who is
a beacon of light in all of Nino’s darkness. Her marriage to Nino, is solely on the basis
of a truce and a business arrangement and trust me, Nino has no trouble making it
feel like one. Her troubling past haunts her and Nino slowly becomes her
comfort unknowingly, and he becomes stuck in a place of struggling to block out
emotions hence releasing his demons he tried to keep locked away for so long. His
coping mechanism is no longer working being around Keira as she yearns for personal
warmth that Nino is so reluctant to give.
Their story is complex, twisted, heart-breaking, frustrating
at times, hot at others and definitely captivating! I thoughroughly recommend
not just this AMAZEBALLS story, but the whole series including the born in blood
mafia chronicles series in order to get the full experience of these amazing
characters, constant gripping action and the dark , heart-breaking, hot and
seductive, love stories !
My Rating: 5 Stars!!
