Twisted Emotions (The Camorra Chronicles Book 2)

Product Information

Unfortunately, I simply wasn’t entirely sold on the romantic part of Nino and Kiara’s relationship. I mean, I did love how Nino cared for Kiara: He gave her the confidence and support she needed, and it made me feel all warm inside. He was so incredibly considerate of her, and it was rather endearing coming from someone who doesn’t have emotions of his own. Some men can distinguish between the ones they need to protect and those they need to break. I think Nino might be one of them.” The way they simply took responsibility for everyone and made a stabby and wholesome family?? my heart- 😫❤️‍🩹🤞 Nino was a true ✨👑 PRINCE CHARMING ✨👑. This self proclaimed " emotionless sociopath" captured my heart, and I couldn't help but fall in love. I think the Falcone bros think they are these big scary guys, but in reality they treat and empower their women way better than the Famiglia or Outfit does. Nino being Kiara's biggest champion and cheerleader hit me right in the feels. What I loved most about Twisted Emotions was that its plot centered almost entirely around Nino and Kiara's relationship. And Cora Reilly did such a great job.

Nino was so understanding and supportive of Kiara that I had no doubt that if they were a real life couple they'd be those old married people who die at the same time in their sleep. They'd be like that scene in The Notebook (hey it's morbid but true).a part of me was thankful there's little to no details of the cheating because ✨ ignorance is bliss ✨ but the other part of me was like whowhatwherewhenwhyhow????? is this cheating in normal standards? yes. is this cheating in mafia standards? ehh no, maybe so? i don't know. but once Kiara told him to stop he did because he does whatever Kiara tells him to do. to be honest, i don't know how i feel about this because it was just unnecessary. You know, for a psychotic killer, Nino is super sweet, affectionate and patient. Seriously, after reading a few of the Necessary Evils books by Onley James, I’m starting to think that sociopathic men is where it’s at. Kiara is the daughter of a traitor. A stigma that never goes away. Entering into a marriage with Nino is the last thing she wants, yet there is no choice. Her husband may be ruthless and deadly, but the bloodbath of their wedding night makes him the dark knight she never thought she deserved. Kiara is the sweetest and probably smartest heroine from the author, I love how caring she was. The tension was literally perfect, I can't remember the last time I read a book where the chemistry between the main characters was so good. lemme just say, heroines similar to Kiara are often a hit or miss me, depending on how they are written; however, because of what she's been through, it's understandable why she was that way and I honestly just wanted to hug and protect her. I loved her!! Her character development was so good! It was slow, but it was there and true to her character. 🥰

and to finish with the disgusting Falcone family that’s how his older brother talked to her—in front of him— within one day of her being with them, knowing well that she’s scared of men ever since she was r@ped at 13.

now, i wanna adresse the girlies. once again, i’ve seen this book literally everywhere and everyone was talking about the mmc as the perfect man. the gem of the mmcs. well, if these are nowadays standards i don’t want them. nino (mmc) and his brothers (minus adamo) are the most disgusting men i’ve ever read about, so far. i hated every minute of being trapped in nino’s head. every misogynistic and macho thought or conversation he shared with his brothers was the epitome of 'regressing the image of women'. their only hobbies ? their only knowledge and culture? their conversation skills? all orbited around one single thing: women. or precisely : p#ssies, virgins and virgins’ blood and of course wh🤗res . Remo is so goofy im sorry 🤣 he got a bit better towards the end but still. I couldn’t take him serious when he’s out there prancing around in his boxers during a literal life-or-death meeting pls 💀✋ This author is just so on the ball with this type of fiction and I always know she's going to deliver me a belter of a story. You realize you are human too, right?” “I always got the impression that you and I had little humanity left.” Remo. I loved being able to see different layers of Remo. I’ve been intrigued by him since he first appeared in the previous book and my interest towards him keeps increasing. Despite being a heartless killer, it’s ironic because I do think he has a heart, even if it’s just to the very few he sees as family such as his brothers and Fabiano. I also love how he takes “protecting family” and loyalty seriously. In conclusion: I love Remo. I can’t wait to read his book!!

I gave Remo a slanted look. Last time he talked to Luca hadn’t gone over too well. Years had passed, but if Luca held on to grudges, he’d remember that too. And Remo had a way of provoking people that didn’t go over well with the other Capo. Women Not Named Kiara ✦ Why do Savio, Nino, Remo, and basically every man in this book need to be so disrespectful towards the women THEY PAY to have sex with them. The descriptions of how rough they are towards them, and how much they disregard / degrade them just got uncomfortable and old after a while. I'm not pointing fingers at just this book either, more like at the series as a whole. It seems that if you're a woman in any of these books and you're not the protagonist you will be treated like garbage. I think this idea was emphasized for me by the fact that they had zero conflict or angst in their relationship. It was so easy. Too easy for a relationship in this environment that is formed out of true care and love; it showed to me that this marriage really was a task for Nino. A task he passed with flying colours, yes, but a task nonetheless. Otherwise at least something should have happened between them that didn’t go incredibly smooth.I also quite liked the family dynamic where Kiara has to live with Nino and all of his brothers, but I wish we could have had more interactions between them. It felt a little empty now. But I will find the man who did this to you and make him feel the same terror you did that night and pain unlike anything he thought possible. And eventually, when he has been begging for it for a long time and when he’s given up hope, I’ll grant him death.” And when it came to the smut.. whoowee this man really knows how to get a girl worked up. There were times when I was like Mr Sir you had no right to be that hot. The most bleak and horrifying wedding night I’ve ever witnessed. Yet also the moment I fell in love with Nino Falcone. The Romance ✧ Like I mentioned the romance was a whole lot sweeter than I thought it was going to be, but it really suited Nino and Kiara. These two aren't loud, overly dramatic, emotional characters. Their romance was filled with more quiet exploration, touches, and soul deep understanding. I personally think that Nino's soul recognized Kiara's and his brain allowed him to finally lower his guard just a bit.
