Bound by the Past by Cora Reilly
5.0

Bound by the Past made me fall in love with Dante Cavallaro and Valentina Aresco - Cavallaro all over again. The story retells Bound by Duty in Dante's perspective and the rest of the books in Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles and Camorra Chronicles. We get the glimpse of the past, present and future as Dante ruled the Chicago Outfit.

Out of the Capos / Mafia Leaders, Dante is the wisest and the most intelligent. Some of you thought either the Famiglia or the Camorra are stronger. To me, Chicago Outfit is the strongest. Many questioned Dante's leadership because of his decisions. He isn't perfect and he committed a lot of mistakes throughout and may considered as betrayal. Yet he did it for good intentions. He has morals and he can masks his emotions. At first, he's not the best husband to Valentina but she sets him straight. We are all frustrated when he didn't say the "L" word. He's not a fan of PDA and likes to keep his love for Valentina privately.

Dante and Valentina are more reserved than any other couples. As husband and wife, they grew to love and support each other in the toughest times. Valentina taught him to love and I love how she pushed his buttons. Of course Dante makes up for the lost time by being a responsible husband and father to his wife and children. I swear these two are my top favorites along with Serafina and Remo (Twisted Pride).

I JUST LOVE DANTE AND VALENTINA OK?! I TURNED INTO A SAPPY SHIT.
