Santino: Boss, I just saw Danilo and Samuel hugging each other!
Dante: Are you sure it was them?
Santino: Yes! But when I looked closer, it turns out they were choking each other!

Bound by the Past by Cora Reilly {Book Review}
-------------------------------------------
GENRES: Romance, Contemporary, Dark, New Adult, Adult, Mystery, Fiction
rating: ⭐️⭐️.5 out of 5 Stars
-------------------------------------------
Dante
My life is a tale of betrayal.
I killed so many because they betrayed our cause, because they betrayed the Outfit.
A hypocrite. A liar. A murderer.
That’s what I am.
Five times I betrayed the Outfit. With my blood I made a vow to our cause, swore my life to it, promised to put the Outfit first. Above all else.
Five times I chose a woman over the good of the Outfit. I betrayed my father. My vow. My men.
You reap what you sow.
Would my betrayals destroy everything I swore to protect?
Valentina
On our wedding day I made a vow to stand by Dante’s side.
In good and in bad times.
To love him through it all.
Growing up in the mafia, I knew the challenges in our life would be numerous. I never expected them to tear at the very base of our family, of our existence.
(From Goodreads)
-------------------------------------------
This book is about Dante the capo of the Chicago outfit and his wife Valentina.
it's divided into six parts, one through five, and lastly the aftermath.
Part one talks about Dante when he was 19.
The second part is about when his first wife died and the negotiation with the famiglia for the wedding between Aria and Luca.
The third part is Dante's POV of the second book (Bound by Duty ~ his book with Valentina)
The fourth part is about the photo incident that Dante did to Luca and Aria in (Bound by Love)
The fifth book is Dante and Valentina's POV of what happened through the (Twisted Pride) book.
Lastly, the Aftermath part is what happens after (Twisted Pride)!
throughout reading this book, I had three thoughts running through my mind:
one, I'm sick of how much Dante talks about his freaking emotions and how much he is going to burst but nope he shows nothing!
second, I didn't like Dante in his first book (Bound by Duty) because of his way of treating Valentina, and this book didn't improve my opinion of him, it actually got worse throughout reading this book and not just because of his way of treating Valentina!
Third, as much as Dante is in "control" his famiglia is in shambles!
Dante was never one of my favorite male characters in this series and I don't think he will ever be, But I really like Valentina!

Remo Falcone in Camorra Chronicles #1: Fabiano, go to NYC and insult Luca!
Fabiano Scuderi: *returning unscathed after relaying Remo’s insults about Aria, Fabiano’s own sister, to her husband of ten years and rival mob boss Luca Vitiello*
Remo Falcone: LOL. Luca didn’t kill you because you’re his wife’s brother and he didn’t want to make her mad at him. He’s such a pussy!
Samuel Mione in Camora Chronicles #3: *tries to kill the Falcone brothers*
Remo Falcone *not wanting Serafina, Samuel’s twin sister whom he’d kidnapped a couple of weeks prior and was holding captive, to hate him* : Let Samuel go - and without torturing him! It’ll send a message! I have logical reasons for this decision and it has nothing at all to do with Serafina’s feelings!
---------------
