5*Review: BOUND BY TEMPTATION by Cora Reilly

Title: BOUND BY TEMPTATION

Author: Cora Reilly

Goodreads...

Liliana Scuderi has been in love with Romero from the moment she first saw him. After her sisters were married off for tactical reasons, she hopes she might be allowed to choose a husband for herself, but when her father promises her to a man more than twice her age that hope is crushed. No begging can make him change his mind.

Romero has always ignored Lily’s flirting. Her age and status made her off-limits but even someone as dutiful as him has only so much control. Wanting her when she’s supposed to marry another man could mean war between New York and the Chicago Outfit, and Romero has always put the Cosa Nostra first.

Lily suspects her sisters and Romero would risk everything for her, but is her happiness worth that much? Is love worth a war between the Cosa Nostra and the Outfit?
 


My take...

I loved Romero and Liliana and seeing them fight to be together, happy, in their terrible world. Their story tore at me. I, for once, wanted to see one of the Scuderi girls choose her husband. I know Gianna and Aria are happy with their lives, but it’d still be nice to see one of them choose happiness and love for themselves. And for a second we were led to believe that may be the case with Lily.

I started this one late last night then finished early afternoon. I am so highly addicted to this series, it’s crazy. I just fly through them. I love the layers upon layers that each book brings. You never know what will happen next. Reilly is super amazing at pulling you into this world, but once you are out in reality, it’s like you expect to still be a part of it. It’s that real. 5 Stars!
