Bound by Honor by Cora Reilly

“Maybe love is a risk, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take and as you said, it’s not a choice. I never thought I would, never thought I could love someone like that but I fell in love with you. I fought it. It’s the first battle I didn’t mind losing.”
This book was actually pretty enjoyable. It was easy to get back into this world after taking a short break, and although I’m rating it lower than all of the Camorra Chronicles books it was by no means as bad as I expected based on what I’ve heard.
The actual story wasn’t that detailed compared to Nino and Kiara’s book, which is the book with the same marriage of convenience trope in the spinoff series, and it felt quite a bit shorter than that one, but it never made me bored or anything.
As for the characters, I liked Aria, which I expected based on her appearance in the spinoff. She wasn’t the most interesting protagonist ever but she was a solid character.
“Did you bite me?” he asked as he stared at my teeth marks on his bicep.
“Not hard enough. There isn’t even blood,” I said.
But what I didn’t expect was how much I disliked Luca for a good portion of this book. I really liked him in Twisted Loyalties so I never even considered that I might not like him here, but let me tell you I absolutely HATED him for the first 80% of this book. He definitely got better and will continue to do so, but a lot of his actions in this book were more than questionable. And more than that, it wasn’t even the good questionable. He was just annoying and boring.
The next book in this series is Valentina and Dante’s (I think). I’m honestly not sure what to expect, I don’t even know what, if any, tropes it plays into, and we didn’t learn much about Valentina in this book, so I’m excited to see what happens!
Also, side note I’m so excited about Gianna’s book and I have high expectations.
