I admire her sense of honor and for facing her fears, but her indecisiveness wore on me. In her defense she was young; with a sheltered upbringing married off to a stranger she knew to be a murderer. The argument that she's popular because her work is easy to consume is so funny to me, too. As if 100% of books in the romance genre are NOT easy to consume and digest.

I liked that Matteo didn't gave up the hope on her.... Yeah, he was possesssive, but also was so protective of her and that was something that Gianna needed because nobody else offered her a shelter anymore... Everybody except her siblings gave up on her... But Matteo stayed beside her and fought for her!!! You are far too beautiful and innocent to be married to someone like me, but I’m too much of a selfish bastard to ever let you go.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: How he made an effort to impress Aria how gentle he was towards her was just purely beautiful 😭 I loved him for that. When Aria marries Luca at eighteen, she is resigned to her fate. Committed to performing her duty as a mafia wife, to solidify the union between her Chicago family and her new husband's New York family, she never expects to love her husband. In fact, she is determined to hate him.

Valentina, a woman with a loyal heart and a fiery passion. Her first husband who was her best friend who loved her like a sister was gone. Dead. Now she's marrying the youngest Head of the Outfit who seemed to lost the wife he loved most. She had to watch her first marriage go downhill but she's determined to make her second marriage work this time. 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. As much as I'm dragging Dante, he wasn't half as bad. I liked him better than Luca, but it's just hard to connect to someone who is constantly described as an "cold fish" and has one face expression (on a good day maybe two). The last few words of the oath that men swore when they were inducted into the mafia could just as well have been the closing of my wedding vow: “I enter alive and I will have to get out dead.”The star of the book was definitely Valentina. I love the way she handled the situation dead wife situation. She knows what she wants and she goes for it. Her persistence pays off at the end. I loved that Val was allowed to work at the Casino and wasn't just a trophy wife. For her and only for her 2.75 stars.

I listened to the audiobook of Bound by Honor and it was narrated by Juliana Solo. This was my first audiobook by this particular narrator and I thought she did a good job. I do think she sounded a little older than eighteen, which is the age of the heroine but she didn't sound old. She did a nice job with the voicing of Aria and expressing her emotions through the story.After re-reading this a couple times now, I have decided to upgrade it. I really like Luca and Aria and the world Reilly built here. Definitely a solid guilty pleasure read. It's still not the best mafia romance I've ever read, but as I said, I like the characters and the world...and me wanting to re-read something multiple times means I really like it.
