Twisted Loyalties by Cora Reilly
Synopsis...
Fabiano was raised to follow in his father’s footsteps as Consigliere of the Chicago Outfit – until the man abandons him. Left to fend for himself, Fabiano is forced to fight for a place in the mafia world. As a ruthless street fighter, he quickly earns his place as the new Enforcer of the Las Vegas Camorra – a man to fear.
Leona wants to build a decent life for herself, away from her drug-addicted mother. But soon she catches the attention of a dangerous man – Fabiano Scuderi. Staying out of trouble and living a normal life are near impossible with a man like him.
Leona knows she needs to avoid Fabiano, but men like him aren’t easy to shake off. They always get what they want.
Fabiano cares about only one thing: the Camorra.
But his attraction to Leona soon puts his unwavering loyalty to the test. Is Leona worth risking everything he’s fought for, and ultimately his life?

My thoughts
Sorry, I just need a moment to scream about the FRIGGIN
AMAZING kick start to the Camorra chronicles! (For those who don’t know this
book is set in the world of the Born in Blood Mafia chronicles series). You know
when you read a series and you start to lose interest as the fifth, sixth book
comes out and you’re wondering ‘WHY IS THE AUTHOR STILL WRIITING BOOKS AND
MESSING UP THE STORY!’ – Yeah, this is NOTHING like that! Where other authors
fall short of ideas and lose the lovability of the characters – Reilly’s books
just keep getting better and better, and hotter and hotter and darker and
darker and – I LOVE IT!
For those who are familiar with the Born in blood Mafia
chronicles series, this Fabiano’s Book, Aria’s little brother. But he is not so
little and adorable anymore *Wink*. As he has aged, his distance with his
sisters Aria, Gianna grew exponentially and he joined forces with rival - Remo.
So the title twisted loyalties is pretty fitting for this book as you will
realise throughout the book. Fabiano is the Camorra Enforcer, and yes it is
as dangerous and badass as it sounds if not worse. He is violent, dark,
mysterious, and dangerous and has immense loyalties to Remo as his superior
that is until Leona.
Leona has a difficult life. She is the newcomer in the area,
recently moved in with her gambling father and she is the embodiment of being
completely clueless of what she has got herself into, working in a place run by
the Camorra. Her brewing relationship with Fabiano starts off with each trying
to figure the other out, full of intrigue, attraction and curiosity. Until the
inevitable fireworks pulls them together and there was no going back. Their story
is full of heat, secrets action, heartbreak, difficult decisions – everything
one looks for in an amazing story.
What I love about Reilly’s books is her ability to create
the ultimate antihero – menacing, cocky, dark, unfazed and broody. She leaves
us hanging on every word, every emotion, every sentence that comes out from these
heroes’ making us draw even more to characters than in any other book. Her
ability to explore characters that are not even introduced to us fully yet , astounds
me every time. I mean, I haven’t even read Remo’s Book but I have a feeling
there is going to be a massive fight between who is the best book boyfriend – Fabiano,
Remo , Lucca Matteo ugh the list goes but it is so hard to choose and that is
the sign of a great author, a great series and a great romance creator! Ugh I love
it to bits! 5 stars from me!
My Rating: 5 Stars!!
