Twisted Pride by Cora Reilly

5.0

---

I read the kidnapping of Serafina from Dante's pov first, then read this book. But after reading Nino's book and how Remo looked at Serafina's photo, it definitely changed my feelings toward Remo. Remo is unhinged, but thats what made this book a page turner. Serafina was his wake up call, never backing down. I originally felt sorry for Serafina's fiance, but he would have never made Fina happy. Serafina needed to be free to be more than a trophy wife. She could be herself with Remo. And Remo needed a reality check through Serafina. Remo hated women because he saw them as weak, brainless and breakable. But Serafina brought him to his knees. And I enjoyed every minute of it. Reading Bound by the past first I was upset when Serafina went back to Remo. But after reading Twisted Pride, I'm upset she ever left his side. I know it was needed for them to come to terms with their feelings for each other. But boy was it frustrating to watch them suffer. Kiara told Remo he would meet someone who be his match, and Remo needed that for his character development. Serafina's pregnancy did make me feel a type of way, since I would have preferred she went back to Remo because she wanted to and not because she needed to. But at the end of the day I feel they both wanted each other to make the first move.
