I usually love books written by the man's pov, but some things annoyed me here. I got a little pissed with Aria from time to time and with him too.

 The read is really worth it if you love these characters and their story. If you don't, this will probably make you mad or it will just feel like a waste of time. For me, it was a little bit of both but mostly the latter but before this I really liked them. Especially Luca.

Maybe I feel all this because I recently read Bound by Honor and two days ago I listened to it, but I'm starting to like them/the story less. So I'm not reading it again hahaha.

this follows the same events as bound by honor only from a different pov, and honestly everything in my bound by honor review applies here as well, so read that. the only things i have to add are that it would have been sexy of luca to kill his evil dad. and that the beginning of this book was somehow worse than bound by honor, but that the middle and ending were better? so it evens out to the same rating imo. i have to set aside a lot of my issues with gratuitous sexual violence in media in order to read these books and i am still not sure how i feel about that.
