Twisted Bonds is the continuation of the Kiara and Nino story that started on Twisted Emotions. This new story moved me a lot because the evolution and development of these characters is not only known, but also of other characters and their points of view of these stories. In this book Cora Reilly managed to captivate me again with these characters and their family union.
Showing a fighting Kiara and her evolution despite her past. Nino also shows how much he loves and understands Kiara. In this book we can learn a little more about these characters like Adamo, who I really want to read his book !!. Savio enchanted with his way of being and Remo, with his relationship of brother with kiara.
This book is intensely beautiful and perfect with causing many emotions. Managing to be a BIG SUCCESS from Cora Reilly.
Twisted Bonds is the fourth instalment in Cora Reilly’s Camorra Chronicles series and a continuation of Twisted Emotions, Nino and Kiara’s story.
Shortly after reading Twisted Emotions I was eagerly waiting for the next part of their story, this couple completely captivated my interest right from the start and made me fall in love with the Falcone family. It is vital to read this series in the order that they have been released in as this book shows us the events of Twisted Pride in Nino and Kiara’s POV.
The book picks up from where the previous one ended and we see the build-up between the two, with Nino exploring the extent of his new-found emotions towards Kiara after confessing his love.
Right from the start I fell completely in love with how patient and protective Nino was with Kiara throughout the book, but personally for me, Remo was the star of this book. Remo Falcone has a firm grip on my heart and I don’t think he’s going to let go anytime soon. Trust me when I say I would fight the entire world to defend Remo and the Falcones until my last breath. The book is true to its name and we explore the bonds between the characters and the development of relationships allowing Kiara to grow in to a strong woman overcoming her painful past. Nino and Kiara are the perfect balance for each other, where Nino closed off his emotions to overcome his traumatic past, Kiara constantly felt pain and shame over hers until Nino helped her to fight her demons allowing her to grow and blossom with happiness as a member of their family. After reading Twisted Pride, I was a little disappointed and felt as though Kiara didn’t help Fina as much as she could have but after reading the events of Twisted Pride in her POV, I fell in love with Kiara’s gentle, compassionate and kind soul even more and how she tried to constantly help and protect Fina in her own way. Kiara’s love for her family is so pure that I cried during one of her conversations with the brothers, no matter how strong the men are, they couldn’t stop softening themselves for her.
We still see Kiara’s struggle with her past throughout the book which made me relate to her character more, in her battle to become pregnant, whether she realised or not, she was already a mother to the Falcone brothers and babies by constantly looking after them and feeding them. This book feels like it comes to a full circle from where the brothers were cautious around Kiara at the start to now willing to put their lives on stake for her safety, they don’t see her as Nino’s wife but as their younger sister and the bond between Remo and Kiara is extremely heart-warming and tear-jerking, where do I get myself a guy like this??? He is the brother every girl needs! As a brother, father, leader or lover nobody is quite like Remo, he is the ultimate Capo, the rightful heir. Twisted Bonds is all about healing and shows that it is a slow process and not something that will happen in a flip of a page which is what helps the reader to build up a connection with these characters, they each have their own problems and demons to conquer but they do not let this affect their happiness in the long-run, each of their pain and sorrow has helped them to become the strong forces that they are. Despite their hurtful past, you will find yourself crying with laughter over the banter between the brothers.
This book is a treat for every mafia lover and will easily make everyone fall in love with the Camorra and Las Vegas, they will become the family that you will want to root for. They are everything a family should be, regardless of blood, if you are a part of the Camorra, you are family.
Twisted Bonds was everything I had hoped for and more, it was filled with humour, suspense and fast-paced action which will keep you on your toes, making you anticipate what is yet to come. There are also a few steamy scenes which might make you blush and dream of a lover like Nino who is completely swoon worthy, always patient and gentle with Kiara never pushing her more than she can take but allowing her to explore. This book will make you laugh, cry and feel heartbroken but ultimately, fall in love. With Nino and Kiara and Remo and Savio and the Babies. For me, no other family or series can compare to Cora’s books, as you read, you can tell that she pours her heart and soul in to her writing and it shows. Her work will captivate and draw you in and make you wait (im)patiently for the next one. 8th January 2020 cannot come quick enough, I’m beyond ready for Savio (the Bull) Falcone and for him to take my breath away with his raunchy antics.
Twisted Bonds is a Mafia Romance that covers the lives of the Falcone Brothers, it’s a brief recap of scenes from the prior books. There’s action, violence, and steamy scenes.
I love getting to catch up with all my favorite characters, and this story felt like it showcased the whole family not just Nino and Kiara.
Can’t wait to read more of the Camorra series.
I had some expectations towards this book, as it was about my darlings Kiara and Nino… but I got quite disappointed actually. I thought it will be an utter perfection like TE, but I have one comment.
The first half was a repeated story of Twisted Pride from Kiara and Nino’s points of view, but still… that is the only disadvantage that I could have found in the book. That the half of the plot was repeated, so it was quite boring actually.
However, the other half? There was everything that I needed and more. You will fall in love in the second half of this book. You will fall for Remo even harder than in Twisted Pride. You will fall in love with Savio, who I quite disliked previously… but now? God, give me a man like him. And Adamo, our baby Adamo, you will cry so hard for him.
The plot twists and scenes in the second half left me open-mouthed from shock. I have no comments in terms of that, I won’t give you spoilers, ladies. But just so you know – you need to read that book. It is truly amazing.
If you are ready for a crazy rollercoaster ride with Falcone family, read it. And love it as much as I did.
I LOVED this book. Every word, every syllable, every punctuation mark. It is the PERFECT companion to both Twisted Emotions and Twisted Pride.
Kiara has grown into the confident, strong, soft-spoken mother hen that everyone knew she could be and she only gets better in this book. She’s no longer scared of what people think of her nor does she shy away from her new family. However, with increasing comfort everything eventually comes crashing down.
Nino is still having a hard time battling with his newfound emotions but with Kiara’s help he’s starting to trust himself more and more. Whenever a problem arises, Nino puts on his emotionless facade and continues on but some problems can’t be masked by an emotionless facade and Nino will soon learn what that means for him.
Unlike Bound by Love where the protagonists are in a constant battle with trust, Kiara and Nino completely trust each other and tell each other everything so rest assured, none of the problem’s in their love story involve a breach of trust. Be prepared to be fully won over by the Falcone family, though. They’re coming for your heartstrings in this book.
Nino and Kiara are such a beautiful couple to watch grow and anyone who loved them in Twisted Emotions and Twisted Pride will absolutely adore them in Twisted Bonds.
If I could rate this book more than 5 Stars, I most definitely would but as there is a limit on the star count, it only gets 5!
Well, I definitely love Nino, he’s an amazing character and his way of loving and caring for Kiara is beautiful, as everything about Cora devours him in one day, this book is no exception.
This book is the fourth of the camorra but it would be like the 11 of the complete series adding Born in Blood and Luca, and this would be the continuation of Nino and Kiara (his first book is Twisted Emotions, but you definitely have to read the whole series and in order to understand better)
The book literally begins where the other was right at that moment and tells us how his married life is now that the feelings are on the table, the book covers everything we saw in the third book (Rowing book) and as Nino and Kiara saw things, I can not tell you much because everything would be Spoiler, I will only say that in this book we see their love as a couple more, as their love is growing and strengthening more and more, as well as their sexual relationship is strengthening and maturing, the piano scene is incredible and intense , we also see the love of the Falcone as a family, how they bond with Kiara and how although they all bother her, they love her and they would give their lives for her, we also see a little entrance to the story of Savio and we see him in his lovely face with children, they are the most fun interactions when he appears, Savio is a very funny and charming man like his brothers and I can’t wait to read it, we also see a little of the hell Adamo the youngest of the Falcone is seeing and how he drags his whole family with him and how Kiara tries to help and protect him. The book is a love story with a lot of passion but also with those moments of family union between them that makes you smile and see how much everyone takes care of themselves.
From the story of Nino and Kiara we see the problems that are happening and how Nino tries to help Kiara and seeks to make her happy at all costs and as Kiara gradually returns to her insecurities and fears, she is happy and loves her new family but still it feels broken, if I tell you more it would be Spoiler so I will only tell you to love the brothers and especially Nino
What can I say about this book besides the fact that it served one of the best found family tropes I’ve ever seen? The Falcones dynamic is simply amazing. Even though every character has made mistakes or had a horrible past, there’s no judgement between them. Only love, understanding, loyalty and protectiveness. And after everything they went through, they certainly deserve it.
– I already want a spin-off with Greta, Nevio, Alessio and Massimo lol
– Savio finally started to grow on me
– I can’t believe Remo is the funniest character in this series
– Nevio saying “dattoo”
I loved everything about this book, even though I already knew I would love because is from my favorite characters’ POV.
It is so beautiful to see Kiara’s relationship with the falcones, it is evident the evolution she has had since twisted emotions, not only her but nino as well, I thought cora’s writing couldn’t improve but as always she surprised me, the anguish that I went through in this book… I just wanted to get into it and protect adamo from all the evil in the world, I can’t wait for his book.
I love all of Cora’s books but this one was a little bit different. We still have a lot of the mafia world and sexyness. But it was more emotional and much more profound than the previous ones and that was just perfect! I’m still amaze how Cora can keep writing this books and make every story different.
Twisted Bonds is the 4th book in the Camorra Chronicles by Cora Reilly.
“She found her place in our family in her own quiet, thoughtful way, accepted us despite our many faults, and tried to better us in subtle ways. That she considered us capable of being better men was something that filled me with contentments.”
Twisted Bonds is a continuation of Nino and Kiara’s story from Twisted Emotions. This book genuinely drew me in because of how much Nino and Kiara evolved and developed as characters. The characters development in this book was by far the best that I have ever seen. This book gave me a range of emotions from happy, sad and to angry, but nothing beats the emotion of feeling like my heart is bursting.
“Life doesn’t work like that. Bad things are not fate, or punishment of an almighty power. Sometimes bad things just happen.”
This book not only makes you fall in love with Nino and Kiara more, but it makes you swoon and fall all over again for all the Falcones.
“Who hurt you?”
In this book, we see that Kiara is still struggling with her past and we get a personal look at how she is coping from her trauma. The healing process was challenging and it showed real life understanding of what happens in real life. I felt very sympathetic and it broke my heart so much which each page that I read. Nino, however, stole my heart. He truly truly tried his best in everything that he did for Kiara and he was very unapologetic about it. We all know what kind of men the Falcones are, but the fact is he really tried for Kiara and it was sooo moving. He never even tried to change who he was and that is one of the best things I loved about him.
“Kiara, I’m not a good man. I’m not a decent man either. I don’t feel anything in regards to other people, which makes me so good at what I’m doing for the Camorra. And no matter what you might hope for, that won’t change.”
Not only do we get Nino and Kiara, we got a lot of coverage on all the Falcones. Adamo literally stole my heart and he needs to give it back. The youngest Falcone developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and it was truly heartbreaking.
We also get the dynamic sibling relationship between Remo and Kiara. Their relationship could not have been more beautiful.
“You are how I wish my brothers could have been. I don’t care what people say about you, I love you like a brother.”
This book was a roller coaster of emotions. I truly enjoyed the Kiara, Serafina, and Leona and them bonding as girls. Nino, Remo, Savio, and Adamo’s relationships was such a refreshing aspect throughout the whole book whether it was a light, sad, or dark moment. This book was intense in every sense. This book is one of a kind and it is AMAZING.
I can’t wait for more from Cora Reilly. This entire series has moved many hearts and we all can’t wait to be swept away by the next away. Hopefully, we can all come back breathing. This is 5 starts ++++.
“Twisted bonds” is just the book you will remember for a long, long time. Beware of all the feels and melting of your hearts. You may think that with that book you’ll get story of Kiara’s and Nino’s story but you will get here much much more. We’ll see other side of Remo’s and Serafina’s story, we’ll see Adamo, Fabiano, Leona, Savio and his tattoo and of course we’ll see cuteness overload in form of twins Nevio and Greta… And that’s not even all.
Yes you may want to throw your kindle few times but stay with the hard parts cause after you’ll finish this book you’ll definitely want more and more we’ll get sooner that you may think aka in January
So if you want to know how Falcone family lives are going you definitely must read this book.
And sadly I can’t write anything more about storyline beside that you will fell in love in all of them and especially in Remo if you didn’t already. And friendly advice: read Twisted series in order and better yet Bound series first cause they are all connected. And another friendly advice you may (okay you will, that’s certain) get addicted in Cora’s writing.
So in shortcut prepare yourself for storm of feelings because Cora done it once again and wrote book that will for long stay with you.
I Loved every single chapter!! Couldn’t put the book down LITERALLY! Read it from front to back. I love that you get EVERONE included in the story and it is NEVER boring!!
Definitely recommend this book and the series. Love the story and the characters Kiara and Nino. I can’t wait for the next book 😀
Cora’s books in this series have turned out like fine wine! Each new book is better than the last. With this book I enjoyed the interaction between all the characters. I enjoyed seeing their personalities and their bonds that have grown.
Waiting ever second for the new books to come out next year! Definitely a MUST read!
5 TWISTED BONDS STARS!! Wow….my emotions went for a ride. Nino and Kiara’s story will touch all your emotion buttons and keep you flipping pages. This series has been amazing and I have loved every book. This author’s know how to turn the heat up on her stories.
This book, oh this book had everything, was everything, and then was more! The depth of emotions, the cunning, the loyalty, and the understanding that develops, is evident, and forges stronger than anything through this book. It was truly beautiful to watch and be part of. You do feel part of it all, the authour builds such a wonderful world. You feel every tear drop, you grin at every smirk, you tremble with the anger the characters have, you swoon with the sweetness that comes so unexpectedly. You fall in love, over and over again, with Nino and Kiara, as they become the couple they were meant to be. Strong, secure, and so deeply in love with each, nothing that the harsh world they live in throws at them will ever have them doubt the strength that they have with the other
This Camorra story has all your favourite Las Vegas players. The first half of the book are events we know about from previous books, but from Kiara and Nino’s POV. We get more insight into what happened while Serafina was gone, and when she returned. Fabiano and Leona are in this book a lot, and it was great to see more of them, I have missed them! Savio has more sides than his fun-loving persona, and we see that as well. A few characters from previous books appear, and if you were hoping for some glimpses of certain people, you won’t be disappointed. A couple phone calls also get us in touch with NY. Adamo has the most character growth, and over the couple of years the story spans, he is an integral part of a few of the storylines, all converging, twisting together, and bringing the Falcone family closer, stronger, and making them an iron-clad force
The twisted bonds tie them closer together
Twisted Bonds is the next story in the Camorra Chronicles and gives us a peak at more of Nino and Kiara’s relationship, but also events behind the scenes from when Remo and Serafina “found” each other! I like how this story encompasses the whole family and deals with righting wrongs from their pasts. I can’t wait to read more about Savio and Adamo and their own HEAs This series is a must read and a real page turner
Thank you to Cora for my advanced copy for which I leave my honest review
I received an ARC on exchange of honest review
Every time I finish a Cora book I say it’s the best I’ve ever read of her, and then she gives us her next story and I have to change my mind. And she does it again, TB is a beautiful book, it is full of happy family moments but also of suffering and a lot of pain. I have not been able to stop letting go of some tears, both in the happy and in the sad, it is impossible to remain immune to a story so well written that catches you and comes very deep inside you.
I love how Nino and Kiara’s relationship becomes stronger between them, they have become a couple that talks, trusts and shares between them, nothing is left of the broken kiara that was given to the Falcone. Now she is one more and is treated as such, family.
This is undoubtedly the most familiar and profound book I read about Cora. 5 stars aren’t make any justice to a brilliant book. Absolutely love it
Kiara never believed she would find happiness, and thought it was her fault that bad things happened to her. With Nino and his brothers she found true love and a real family of her own. She is determined to protect her new family, and help them heal the wounds of their traumatic childhood. But when a dangerous enemy from the past returns, her new life is under threat! Will the fragile bonds withstand the pressure? Twisted Bonds is a continuation of Kiara and Nino’s story and we also see more scenes with the brothers! Nino and Kiara have declared their love and are not afraid to express their feelings. Kiara’s presence and love have worked their magic, and the Falcone mansion is now a home for all the family. The scenes with the brothers and the babies are hilarious! But the past still has the ability to hurt them, especially Adamo. Will their love and loyalty protect them? A steamy and action packed book about family, love and the sacrifices we make to protect those who are closer to our hearts!
Fans of Kiara and Nino have been begging Cora Reilly for months to give these two another book. Since Twisted Emotions they have deservedly become one of her favorite couples ever written. Their marriage was arranged by the Camorra and the Famiglia for tactical reasons. Kiara is Luca Vitiello’s cousin and the daughter of a traitor. Nino Falcone is his brother’s trusted Consigliere and a sociopath. They were supposed to have a marriage of convenience but never one of love. But Cora as usual showed us in a beautiful way that even the most ruthless bad boy has a heart and that a soft and sheltered woman can fall for a man despite his intimidating appearance and the darkness and violance surrounding him.
I was eager to find out in Twisted Bonds how Kiara and Nino’s relationship has progressed and if Kiara has found her place within the Falcone clan. It’s not easy for her to interact with other men due to what happend to her as a teenager. It’s not that easy to leave her tragic past behind.
Kiara always wanted a loving family she could take care of. Something she sadly never had for herself but desperately wants for the Falcones. All of them including Kiara have lost a part of themselves in their traumatic childhoods that they’re still trying to regain even years later. The twisted and broken brothers have wormed their way into her heart step by step. That’s why she desperately wants to save them all even though it seems impossible at times. But Kiara won’t give up that easily. She is loyal to her newfound family and will do anything in order to protect it – even stack up big secrets that come at a high cost…
I won’t give away any spoilers or more about the storyline than already mentioned in the blurb. It’s best if you go in blind and experience all of the emotional turmoil and heart-stopping twists and turns for yourself. Trust Cora Reilly to surprise you and give you a gripping story to remember.
I loved the character growth and development in this story. We get to see so many beautiful and touching interactions and dialogues between the family members. You can see that all the events have brought them closer together and forged an unbreakable bond between them. The Falcones and their extended family have truly become my favorite Mafia clan and I’ve grown to love and deeply care about these amazing characters.
Cora Reilly will forever hold the position as the queen of Mafia romance books in my heart. Her stories are my kryptonite and I simply can’t get enough of them. You will share my excitement for the following two Camorra Chronicles books after finishing this installment. Cora has laid a great and interesting groundwork for Savio and Adamo’s stories and I look forward to reading them both. Twisted Bonds was a wonderful story which I’ve enjoyed tremendously. Do yourself a big favor and one-click this 5 stars must-read.
