Bound by Hatred by Cora Reilly

4.0

Matteo, Matteo, Matteo. I finally read his story and I don’t know if I love him or I just like him more. Because I definitely can’t hate him. In this book we have Matteo being a nice, protective guy with Gianna and her being a selfish kid. I liked him but I kinda wanted to see more of his bad side cause in the other books he was the reckless one and in this book he’s too careful. I didn’t like how Gianna was too stubborn to accept her feelings, I mean, EVERYONE knew she had feelings for him, even herself. But seeing Matteo being patient with her made me love him more.
Overall I liked this book, Matteo and his cockiness made me laugh everytime. Gianna and her stubborness didn’t go well with me, I really think that Matteo deserved more (lucky for me, Gianna realised that Matteo is too good for her after all). So, for a mob book, this was a little less “mob” and a lot of kids drama, but we can’t expect more from Gianna. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars and all for Matteo, cause I repeat, he’s the best cocky bastard that exists in these series.
