Bound by the Past by Cora Reilly
3.0

3.5 stars.

"Surrounded by endless love. It couldn't get any better than that."

I'm sad that I can't say that I loved every line of this book, because I really wished I did. But I love the way Cora built Dante and Valentina's relationship, that I can say undoubtedly. And it also felt nice to get a closer look on Dante's mind.
Reading BBTP felt kind of tiring and repetitive - maybe because I just finished reading The Camorra Chronicles - but still, it's good to see how things went on the other side.
The aftermath was definitely my favorite part, watching their relationship and their family gave me a sense of closure, in a really good way. I wish we'd gotten more of it and I look foward to Anna and Leonas' books, because I believe we'll have some nice Cavallaro family scenes.
Still, I can't say that I didn't end up loving the book and - some - of it's characters, especially Valentina - to me, she's one of the best of Cora's characters.
