BY SIN I RISE
This is written in two instalments parts one and two. I just loved all of her other books and believe me they are amazing and this one is no different. I loved it. It is a kidnapping romance but still loved it.
The story is about Luca and Aria’s daughter, yep that’s right it is about Marcella and Marcella is so different from her mother. She is this badass independent character and I absolutely love her. On the other hand, Maddox is a biker looking for vengeance from Luca and that’s why he ends up kidnapping Marcella. Hence, the story progresses.
Although I didn’t love the Maddox, I didn’t hate him either. Characters had something different about them from the earlier generation. This generation is shown with more ease and freedom. I guess mafia rules also change with time. And Luca is shown as the best dad anyone can ask for. I loved the storytelling and the whole plot. It was some way different from the usual mafia, making it a good read for me. I would like to recommend it but only if you are looking for a strong independent mafia woman.

I’m unsure on how I feel about this book.
I loved Marcella and how much of a bad ass Bitch she was.
The only character along with Serafina who has a backbone, except I find Marcella to be slightly better in the fact that she didn’t let herself feel guilty in what she was feeling about Maddox.
Maddox was quite disappointing. He was driven by revenge ever since the beginning, that was his whole purpose and for good reason but literally decided to let all of that go because he was so attracted to Marcella.
I really hate when that happens, when a character changes so quickly and does things out of character for attraction because that’s what it was.
I don’t believe for a second how fast they “fell in love”.
Also 2 books for this storyline feels very unnecessary. Other couple deserved more to have 2 books instead.

Bound by honor was one of my first mafia read that wasn’t fanfiction. And I like it enough to continue the series. Then I got to bound by hatred and it’s only one of my favs I continue to re read. So when I saw she continued with the offsprings of the bound and twisted and interconnected them I was excited. And this one didn’t disappoint. So far after reading about Marcella and Maddox I cannot wait for the rest. I really like and didn’t expect anything less from Marcella she is the badass daughter of a capo and looks of her mother. And I love how maddox didn’t back down from Luca. But what a cliffhanger, I can’t believe it there has to be reason why he left.
No my favorite by this author. I know it is a duet but I finished this feeling like I didn’t get the story. I am really looking forward to the second book in the series and the actually HEA.
I was so nervous to read this because I am such a Luca stan but I absolutely loooooved this story. For so many reasons, but I want to start with Marcella’s character. I just loved the way she was written. She’s the fierce and proud girl who’s so strong but she’s human and has insecurities and things that make her upset and sad. I liked that the author didn’t make her the unattainable badass. To me, she was the perfect example of a strong woman written well.
The whole kidnapping thing has been done so many times that it’s easy to gloss over how complex of a situation it is and I also appreciated that the author took her time with all of the moving parts of the story.

idk why i find coras heroines so whinny and so weak. it ruins whole book for me and their motives and moves make no sense cause theyre trying too hard to be these strong charachters and it just looks so pathethic
OH MY SOUL! The second generation stories begin with a bang-an epic and swoony love story stained with darkness and revenge. I have long awaited the second generation stories of my favorite mafiosos. By Sin I Rise is such an enticing beginning to the the much anticipated Sins of the Father Series. Dark, gritty, and consuming and the perfect marriage of mafia danger and mc steel - we learn quickly that not only will our next generation have to answer for the sins of their parents, but that they will also break the mafia mold and challenge everything we've come to expect from one of my favorite mafia writers. This is a whole new world of mafia intrigue, and a new type of hero and heroine. And I AM HERE FOR IT.

If Maddox says the word “cream” one more time I will kill myself in front of him to change the trajectory of his life forever.
We have already done kidnapping with Remofina and that shit was WILD to me. there was no way Cora could deliver that level of deranged out of pocket mental illness again and i was correct.
maddox is boring and quite frankly so pussy whipped he should be embarrassed. i can’t believe i’m saying this, but STAND UP? he was so bleh.
marcella i thoroughly enjoyed. i love a spoiled princess who knows she’s spoiled and i’m happy she wants more.
marcella and maddox have 0 chemistry. i can’t tell if it’s bc i’m reading this while i have covid so i’m just in a bad mood, but all the sex scenes left way more to be desired.
the way she made this book two books is insane. it could definitely be finished in one… what was the reason?
