Bound By Hatred (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles)

Product Information

But overall, I think Gianna and Matteo made a good match and were exactly what the other needed. Having not read the rest of the series yet, but I'm still going to make the guess that Gianna & Matteo are going to stay my favorite BIBMC couple. Also another reason I can't rate this higher, the writing. It really doesn't improve. I am growing increasingly aggravated with the repeated sentences, wrong tenses, and awkward word choices that just look wrong in the sentence. I didn't find the writing to be very polished.

sweetheart you will kiss him, seek physical closeness but yet your prejudice was so big that you will spite him, insult him

Finally we get the story of Gianna and Matteo that we've been waiting for! Despite fighting it every step of the way, Gianna finally weds Matteo. Attraction has never been an issue for these two. In fact, that's the problem for Gianna. She is afraid of how much she wants Matteo.

Matteo has been intrigued by Gianna from the moment he met her. Their story has been two books in the making, and their fiery personalities match each other's perfectly. Her father is an asshole! Ηe and all the Outfit treated her very bad... Her only shield is Matteo...Before I even explain why, let me just say Matteo is mine! I loved him and how closed off he was but at the same time he was so open. Yes, I know that doesn't make much sense, but it also kind of does. He was closed off and kept to himself but his actions - even the extremely brutal ones - showed that he really cared. Everyone thought that he was just pursuing Gianna because she was a challenge to him, but the way he went after anyone that even dared to hurt her showed that he cared more about her than just teaching her a lesson. I loved seeing the silent and deadly side to him just as much as seeing the vulnerable side to him that came out when he thought Gianna would run again.

This series is pretty bad and the writing is even worse, but ngl it also serves some needed comedy. The whole Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles series is funnier than most rom-coms nowadays. And honestly I just keep reading them, because they give me an excuse to take a shot every time Cora mentions Luca being a monster slash a beast slash how he crushed someone's throat. Yes, I'm going to make fun of that fact for the rest of my life. I feel I have to warn you that if you haven't read the first book then this review will be slightly spoilerish. This book has a lot of angst, Gianna is torn between what she knows is wrong (mob life) and her attraction to Matteo. The fact that she's attracted to him make her feel even worse about herself, she knows about the kind of man he is, the men he's killed without remorse. Whenever they're in the same room she lashes out at him, basically being a bitch. I'd be lying if I told you I hated this, I love abrasive heroines especially if the hero is persistant, broody and completely alpha. He think that he can tamed her and he wants Gianna to be his by any cost. He enjoyed every interaction with her and he can see how her body reacted near to him...

Gianna wants nothing to do with Matteo, as well as mafia lifestyle in general. She's spirited, loud-mouthed, and stubborn to a fault. I hated everything about Gianna in the glimpses we got of her in the first two stories. She's such an obnoxious, hateful and mouthy bitch to everyone. My biggest pet peeve in stories are unlikable heroines and Gianna fit the bill for that perfectly. AND she was a selfish asshole. I was originally going to skip this story all together because I knew I'd still hate her, and life is too short to read unlikable bitch heroine stories. She doesn't like and she can't accept what Matteo represents... So, whatever is this feeling deep down inside she is trying to force it away... This story was a fast good read and I’m excited that the next book in this series about Lily is set to release this month!

Gianna struggles with the fact that she wants her freedom all the while his sarcasm and bedroom skills worm their way into her heart BUT still she won’t love him and part of her still wants freedom.Pero ese no fue mi verdadero coraje todavía ahí la entendía y la soportaba , fue al final porque durante todo el libro Matteo le demuestra que es buen marido que no va dejar que nadie le haga daño la salva dos veces de matrimonios donde su vida podría ser un infierno y de maridos que podrían ser como el de Bibi, la hace reír bromea con ella TOLERA SU COMPORTAMIENTO INSUFRIBLE para que llegando al final lo quiera dejar tirado muriéndose y ella queriendo escapar ahí fue mi límite Gianna es una IDIOTA
