So this one didn't really have a plot, it was more like a succesion of different events from other books told from either Arias or Lucas point of view, but I liked it. Aria and Luca are just so cute they don't need a plot.
I especially liked the second half of the book, because as you know me, the drama was exactly my taste! I was heartbroken for both of them, although Luca (*cough* Men *cough*) acted like a real asshole.
But he was cute with the kids, I gotta give him that!

Well, I will admit I think reading reviews beforehand really altered my opinion. I was kept expecting for this book to be bad because of it which I think affected my experience.
The first 1/3 to 1/2 of the book was largely unnecessary. Most of the conversations had been had in the other books so there was no point rereading them from the other person’s POV (at least not 1/3 of a books worth). Aside from these conversations, the only thing Aria and Luca did was have sex. I’m not a prude but this was just excessive and didn’t really build their relationship. That being said I did like reading Aria and Luca’s story since they are one of my favourites in this world so it was interesting to see them later on in their marriage.
However, once you get through that, the book was good. Although, not much happened I liked how this book was tying up lose ends and preparing us for the Camorra Chronicles. The writing style in this part was much improved probably because it was newer content.

Wow I actually like this one. I was sceptical cause I hated the first book for this couple. Mainly I felt they were boring and lacked personality. But both of them in this book showed character development. Especially Aria, I loved seeing her point of view of all the shit that went down in the previous books and seeing how she stood with her siblings and always put them first. I was definitely able to connect more with her character in this book which was what made it enjoyable to read. For Luca as well, I like him for some reason even though I hated his guts in the last book. Even in the books of the other couples he was always just questionable for me and I never liked him. Maybe it's the dual pov and the fact that we got to know how he thinks. But yeah, I really really liked him while reading this book. I would even go to the lengths of saying this was my favorite book in the series so far. It just put everything together and ended on a high note so now I can't wait to find out what happens next.

The first half of this book was a huge waste of time. It recapped Giana and Liliana’s books in far too much detail. But the second half of this was amazing. I love Aria so much

this book was absolutely amazing and took me 2 whole days to complete, i could of most definitely read it in one but i feel into a small slump which sucks but this was most definitely one of my favourite books in the born in blood series, the angst and the mix of aria and luca angst was OUTSTANDING cora reilly did amazing writing this highly recommended!
