Sinner's Perdition by Bianca Borell, Bianca Borell

4.0

This is book 2 in the Syndicate of Sinners series, and it can be read as a standalone. I would recommend reading book 1 first, Sinner's Obsession (Aurora and Kieran's story), because things happen in that book that are connected to things that happened in this book.

I love, love, love the crazy chemistry between Cato and Chiara. It's off the mf charts. The underlining current in every heated interaction is combustible.
The tropes in the books do justice
✅Arrange Marriage
✅Enemies to Lovers
✅He Falls First
✅Jealous Possessive H
✅Secret Pinning

Chiara hates everything the mafia stands for and wants nothing to do with the monsters in that world. She is being forced to marry Cato, and he will rule both mafia families. Cato is also heading the syndicate, and he's as ruthless and vicious as they come.

Chiara is everything Cato wants in a woman, feisty, strong-spirited, gutsy and has a temper.
For every time you try to kill or leave me, I will demand something. If I were you, I would be careful. In our world, I rule, and that includes you

Cato is everything she has been trying to escape.
You will be mine . You will surrender to this monster. And, cara, I’ll make you love every minute

I enjoyed the back-and-forth between this volcanic couple, and Chiara's willingness to not succumb to her situation. I will admit, at times, it became annoying and I wanted her to give in and accept the marriage.
I liked Cato more than Chiara. He wasn't a bully, abusive or forceful and encouraged Chiara's brattiness.
