A review by beatrice_apetrei
Bound by Honor by Cora Reilly
1.0
I had huge expectations for this book. I thought it would give as an insight on how mafia lives are. I believed it would tell us about the painful lives children go through with mafia parents. It was no such thing.

Update
Loving, scare and shy girl meets future husband bad and ~dangerous~ boy, killer by the age of 11 *the circumstances of the killing tho', they seemed made on spot*. Male fiance is very jealous and intends to kill everyone that even looks at her. Girl doesn't seem to have a problem with that.
This book was extra-bad.
Long story short:
Shy girl meets bad dangerous boy.
They marry.
Faithful, but scared wife denies his attempts at intimacy. *Because she is shy and scared. At 18. After living as a mafia child all her life. Around dangerous and bad people. Yes, right. *
Bad dangerous husband feels entitled to cheat.
Faithful wife is upset, but seems to forget about this after he "explains" how he is entitled to it. He takes shower and they cuddle.
Next 50% of book - adult - but disappointing - content. So bad. UGH.
Then it turns out bad dangerous husband was actually a golden heart man with trust issues.
I quit reading it after that.
It was horrible! This book is only a very, very bad romance. With a few horny teenagers.
What did I just read?! Dnf it. I had unfortunately already read 70%, before I realized there was nothing there for me.
Do NOT read this book.

Spoiler
Few days before the marriage, girl is troubled about the wedding night and future "intimate" moments with future bad and ~dangerous~ husband rather than living a MAFIA controlled life. Even tho' the guy is dangerous and feared by everyone, her ~beauty~ prevents him from harming her. Because why not, seems legit.Long story short:

I looked at the rating of this book and I can't believe it has actually an average of 4 stars! Oh dear gods, why? It's so... *yes, exactly* BAD.
