Bound By Hatred (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles)

Product Information

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. Like the previous two books, this one is sprinkled with some editing oversights. There are enough instances of these grammatical mistakes to be noticeable, but not so many that the story is ruined. 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. sweetheart you will kiss him, seek physical closeness but yet your prejudice was so big that you will spite him, insult him I enjoyed the love story in this one more, mainly because it features two characters who hate each other. But do you know how much I hate when a guy in a story is having sex and is all "you are mine" "no one can have you" "MINE MINE MINE!" in a way that makes me feel like the heroine CAN'T have a sense of self. Like, listen. Cool your jets. This is an equal partnership.

Aria and Luca's relationship took a bitter turn because Her elder sister obviously can't leave her unprotected while she ran away

As we all already now... Matteo was charmed from Gianna's fierceness and he claimed her as his own, but Gianna was having some different ideas about that matter... They are already enganged but Gianna can't accepted their currently situation... 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.

The way Gianna was and Mateo still liked her? Made him dumb in my book… I may have understood a tad IF she gave her virginity to him before she ran? But then no one would believe she didn’t sleep with every man she met… since she wasn’t trying to clear the air anyway…Mateo was blinded by her “beauty” and was led by what was in his pants… why would he want to marry someone who didn’t even like him? 🙄 she knew she could mistreat him and he walked right into it…For one tiny second, Luca was a bit more likable, but then he had to go and say the f slur. Please, all I'm asking is for my man Remo Falcone to come and do what he does best *cough kill him cough*. It can't be that hard. Also, can Gianna's father just die? I hate him with a passion. I really do. The way he keeps physically and mentally abusing her, someone give that man an 'asshole-of-the-year' award because he deserves it. I really love that he doesn't like it easy. He likes challenges and he is relentless and never gives up. That makes him unique. He is like a champion as he should be 💪. Matteo, ahh, the best Made Man in this series. I love his easy going, dirty talking, fun attitude. He's a charmer for sure. I loved how in this story he said "I Love You" before the heroine. It was a nice change. And of course his sweet, love hard side was impressive too! Tbh I loved him more than Luca. I loved how he stayed true to Gianna and didn't waver once, even when Gianna ran away and he found her with another man. I respect him for that.
