I always love reading the same story from different perspectives. That being said I hoped Luca’s perspective was a little more his. He is described as this secretive man, but reading from his pov felt almost exactly the same as from Aria’s pov.
And the more I read from him the more flat he felt. And his only thoughts throughout the book were “she is MINE”, “Fuck it”, and “she is beautiful and I need to protect her”.

I read this book and bought it before I ever read Bound by Honor, so honestly I think I got an even more special perspective than had I read the books in order. I love Aria and Luca. I love how they persevere through out the whole book and how they love each other throughout everything. The character growth in both of them is phenomenal and both characters had depth at the end! Bravo to Ms. Reilly!

I have a very weak spot in my heart for Luca and Arias love story.
Mostly Luca from the last book, Bound by Love. Honestly I don't even think Aria deserves Luca anymore. She f*cks up over and over and over again. And somehow Luca forgives her, because love...
Anyway, I had to read about my baby, Luca, and how he turned out the way he did. I can't get enough of him. And I love Luca and his brother's relationship. They are ride or die/or kill for each other.

Was this book a cash grab by the author to "once again" = for the fifth time, retell the same scenes from a different POV?
Yes, when you read all the books in Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles you will read the same events from FIVE different peoples point of view.
So I just read it for free on my kindle.

I loved getting Luca’s POV!! He’s so dark & brooding, yet to see him struggle with emotions he’s not use to was made you understand him on a better level!!

This was my first book to read by a new arthur and I very much enjoyed reading it this book gives you Luca:s pov from the book called Bound in Honor for which now I'm going to have to read. This book tells about his uprise to becoming a made man at an early age to becoming Capo and as you'd expect it's not paved with gold and about Aria his soon to be wife who's loyalty to those she loves will be tested time and time again.
I would definitely recommend one clicking this book.
