Product Information

So just watch in incredulous fascination pampered mafia princess Aria shoot a Russian gangster in the head, not missing a shot on her first try ever, only to catch a stray bullet in her SHOULDER (🤣) from a seasoned mafia man (🤣🤣) in return (🤣🤣🤣), and don't ask questions. OMG Luca, es fuerte, inteligente y despiadado. Pero desde el primer momento que conoce a Aria la trata gentilmente, lo cual me hizo que me enamorara más de él. El fuerte y cruel mafioso The Vice pero también el lindo esposo, que se la pasa consintiendo y sobreprotegiendo a su esposa. I’d turned fifteen four months ago. My birthday had felt like a huge step toward my future, and I’d been excited. Silly me. My life was already over before it even began. Everything was decided for me. Who the hell keeps provoking a mob boss when he's clearly married AND has the power to hurt your sister ?!

Other than that I love her protective sister and rebellious side. Growing up in a house with an abusive father and mother who does not care, by taking care of their younger and elder siblings Gianna proved to be a good sister. I love how she took beatings instead of her sister, how she stood up for Aria and Liliana when their father tried to marry them off, how she was always there for her siblings in times of need. I also love the little rebel in her. How she manage to escape her harsh reality and have fun, even if it was short lived. this is a mafia book so i knew there's gonna be a lot of unsavory things that would probably, most likely turn me into the Hulk so let's just say i can see why a lot of people like this and why others don't and honestly, im kind of in between. though, this had the one thing i hate the most: cheating. to be fair, this only happened in the beginning but still! here's a little snippet: Also another reason I can't rate this higher, the writing. It really doesn't improve. I am growing increasingly aggravated with the repeated sentences, wrong tenses, and awkward word choices that just look wrong in the sentence. I didn't find the writing to be very polished.

This wedding wasn't about love or choice. It was about duty and honor, about doing what was expected."

Aria is only fifteen years-old when she is told that she has been promised to marry Luca. At twenty years-old, and with reputation as a cold-blooded killer, marriage to Luca is a terrifying future for Aria to behold. Seemingly overnight her world is turned upside down, as she becomes the property of a man she only knows enough of to fear. Her anxiety and fear only seems to grow during the three years she spends finishing high school and counting down the days until her life as she's known it comes to an end. My lips trembled against his mouth as his eyes bored into me. Their message was clear: You are mine." Maybe love is a risk, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take and as you said, it’s not a choice. I never thought I would, never thought I could love someone like that but I fell in love with you. I fought it. It’s the first battle I didn’t mind losing.” Some endearing absurdity issues aside, Cora knows how to create the credible atmosphere despite the fact that her writing is straightforward and not very inventive: she certainly doesn't beat around the bush nor does she aspire to receive the best purple prose award. Yet, her writing style creates images in your head even without her going into much detail. The flow of her texts is smooth: she doesn't overexplain nor does she force you to trudge through voluminous and repetitive inner monologues, leaving some things to your imagination. Which is really welcome, for some readers don't like to be spoon fed with information.More so, the cheating scene became a milestone in AriaLuca relationship, egging on a significant shift in their dynamics. It wasn't introduced mindlessly to scandalize a bunch of pearl-clutchers. Whether you like cheating or not in romance books is a matter of your personal preference that bears no relevance to the book. 😂

i have never ever read anything by ms. cora and being introduced to her mafia universe is a little... overwhelming. there's just A LOT of books and spinoffs that my head hurts just thinking about it. but there's so much praise and beautiful edits of "coraverse" that i just had to read the book that started it all right? Aria and Luca's relationship took a bitter turn because Her elder sister obviously can't leave her unprotected while she ran away Luca is a not a good man, but once he saw the angel with blue eyes filled with fear he knew one thing. She was his. Forever. And he would not let anything harm her.

En los libros anteriores no la soportaba en el de Aria y Luca yo estaba ay SHUT UP Gianna me desesperas casi casi como Kiko del chavo del 8 y aquí dije Dios dame paciencia porque la quiero matar. En lo personal no me molestan porque es realista, no digo que es aceptable solo digo que es apegado a la verdad para hacernos sentir más la historia. Y siendo sincera creo que, para ser un libro de mafia, es bastante ligero en cuanto a temas de violencia y abuso. No porque no los tenga, si no porque he leído cosas peores. I'm sorry y'all but this was one of the worst mafia books I've ever read 🤣🤣 I can't stop laughing it was so BAD. This universe has no sense of logic or normal human motivations. I first realized it when Luca was making sure neither of Aria's bodyguards wanted to bang her and her bodyguard responded like this: In her world a handsome exterior often hides the monster within; a monster who can just as easily kill as kiss you.

The sex wasn't that hot. It took a long time into the book for Luca to take her virginity. And, yeah, it wasn't hot. Why? Aria constantly said it hurt, and it kinda overruled the hotness of it all.But to be honest as much as I loved Gianna in the first few books, in this I was a bit annoyed with her. As much as I admire her fiery spirit and bitchy attitude, the way she treated/thought when Mateo got shot made me mad as hell. The only reason that this book did not get 5 stars from me was because it needed some editing/proofing. There were multiple instances of incorrect word usages and/or tenses. It was pretty distracting and sometimes laughable. I think that perhaps this stood out even more because the rest of the story was so well-written and appealing. The characters were well-developed, etc. So if you're looking for angst, love/hate dynamic and some very steamy scenes then you'll find it in this book. I honestly felt like Gianna and Matteo had the most palpable chemistry out of all the couples in this series. I really loved Aria. I love her bravery, fierceness, protectiveness and kindness. While most women would have just sit around doing nothing but wasting money, Aria stood up for herself and determined herself to get what she deserves. Her protectiveness over her siblings were adorable. And I love how understanding and gentle she was with Luca. And I loved her even more when she sacrificed herself for Luca. She is one hell of a Mafia Queen.
