Doing a reread of the series after so long, and seeing I have no review for this book pains me so here we go:
At a second read, Bound by Hatred kinda makes me mad. I love Matteo and his character, and Gianna really is a B, like Luca says often. I understand she was never one for the life, but she really did act like it was the worst thing. I would have almost expected this behaviour from shy Liliana in the next one. Even though she’s shy, she’s terrified of this life. Gianna is more tough. I don’t blame Matteo for still wanting her; when you want something, you want it. I so felt for him in this book.
Classic enemies-to-lovers romance for sure, but not a favorite in the series.

Finally we got dual povs! I love the sisterhood between Aria and Gianna. The interactions between two couples are adorable, I like this vibe so much!

There was so much steam and tension between these two, to me they are real soul mates and as much as Gianna doesn’t want to be in this life she is built for it. If she wasn’t so scared of blood she would be the perfect killer.
This book was a massive improvement to the other books, the plot and spice was so much better. Rocco is the worst and probably worse than Luca and Matteos dad. The older generation was pure evil which made their sons so misguided.
Matteo stays loyal and caring even despite all the trouble Gianna makes.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

See this book is a perfect representation why I don’t have hope I don’t do hope yet I tried 3 fucking books THREE OF THEM nothing got better not one goddamn thing not even this smut maybe it’s me but this book was so straining I switched to audio 8 hours should never take you 4 days minus the first 5-7 chapters I don’t like to dnf so push thru but that my hopes were wasted like this SHIT NOT EVEN THE SMUT WAS WORTH IT
It was missing so much again and again every book was missing something some a little something some a lot but everyone is missing character or development of some sort how is it we don’t know shit about them her name is Gianna and she’s extremely bitchy his name is Matteo and he is dangerous and cocky wohoo I can’t I can’t it was just something small happened smut then repeat then one big thing and then every one loves each other I thought I would like them more when I get to their book I really really really did because Matteo seemed fun and she… she had something yet I was utterly disappointed I did have so much hope but I maybe for someone else it’s just not for me at all

eh
it was ok
the smut was decent ig
literally no angst
it takes him like 3 chapters before he caves and sleeps with her
make him yearn
make her yearn
i need her to be sad and depressed that she’s not loved
i want her to get hurt and force him to realise his love
i want him grovel
to cry
