About this deal

Matteo, ahh, the best Made Man in this series. I love his easy going, dirty talking, fun attitude. He's a charmer for sure. I loved how in this story he said "I Love You" before the heroine. It was a nice change. And of course his sweet, love hard side was impressive too! Tbh I loved him more than Luca. I loved how he stayed true to Gianna and didn't waver once, even when Gianna ran away and he found her with another man. I respect him for that. 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.

Gianna struggles with the fact that she wants her freedom all the while his sarcasm and bedroom skills worm their way into her heart BUT still she won’t love him and part of her still wants freedom. Gianna wants nothing to do with Matteo, as well as mafia lifestyle in general. She's spirited, loud-mouthed, and stubborn to a fault. This series is pretty bad and the writing is even worse, but ngl it also serves some needed comedy. The whole Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles series is funnier than most rom-coms nowadays. And honestly I just keep reading them, because they give me an excuse to take a shot every time Cora mentions Luca being a monster slash a beast slash how he crushed someone's throat. Yes, I'm going to make fun of that fact for the rest of my life. As we all already now... Matteo was charmed from Gianna's fierceness and he claimed her as his own, but Gianna was having some different ideas about that matter... They are already enganged but Gianna can't accepted their currently situation...That's what I love best about Matteo that he never gave up trying. The way he grew up in the mafia world and after Gianna's betrayal, he had no reason to go after her besides to repair his pride. He was still 'kind' to her and didn't punish her like her father wanted him to (but for real can he kill the Scuderi father? That man doesn't deserve to breath oxygen for one more second). 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. Gianna hates everything her life represents. As a daughter of a Don, obedience is key. And being stubborn and defiant seems to be her downfall. All this fiery redhead has ever wanted is to be free. Instead she finds herself betrothed to her nemesis. Pero ese no fue mi verdadero coraje todavía ahí la entendía y la soportaba , fue al final porque durante todo el libro Matteo le demuestra que es buen marido que no va dejar que nadie le haga daño la salva dos veces de matrimonios donde su vida podría ser un infierno y de maridos que podrían ser como el de Bibi, la hace reír bromea con ella TOLERA SU COMPORTAMIENTO INSUFRIBLE para que llegando al final lo quiera dejar tirado muriéndose y ella queriendo escapar ahí fue mi límite Gianna es una IDIOTA

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.

I dunno. You would think that after reading a million Harlequins i would not be so critical, but I am.

I think there’s a huge difference between the kind of trouble I stir up and the trouble you cause.” I like Matteo but his obsession with Gianna is absolutely senseless, and after talking how much Luca needs to keep his face Matteo just goes around almost doing his best to make Luca seem weak. I really liked Matteo's character. He was completely enamoured with Gianna, and wanted her to trust him. When two opposing forces collide, you know the fallout is either going to be disastrous or rewarding. I can honestly say we got both scenarios in Bound by Hatred. The first meeting between Matteo Vitiello and Gianna Scuderi was explosive, and a future together would be a catastrophe.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!!! Also, can Gianna's father just die? I hate him with a passion. I really do. The way he keeps physically and mentally abusing her, someone give that man an 'asshole-of-the-year' award because he deserves it.

Gianna is quite the sassy girl who fights more for her independence than against the moral horror of her family's lifestyle. She makes a break for it, but to no avail.It was her duty to fight the marriage also to hold for syd? Seriously? Her stubborn side? Laughable… are there really women even close to this thinking? I'm having a difficult time rating this because while I really liked and enjoyed this one way more than the first, I honestly think a 3 star rating is way too high for this book. Same with Aria, she may love Gianna, but I don't think she would really help her escape. That had potential to end really bad, and I don't think she would really risk that. Especially since Luca would be the one who would have been hurt by that.
