Review: Twisted Bonds by Cora Reilly

Can you ever truly leave the past behind in a house full of haunted souls? 

Kiara always wanted a loving family she could take care of. She never thought she’d find it with the Falcones. Nino and Kiara both lost part of themselves in their traumatic childhood. Together they’re trying to recover the missing pieces, but they aren’t the only broken souls in the Falcone mansion; Kiara fears that not all of them can be saved. Determined to protect her new family and the future of her dreams, she’s on a mission to help each of them in her own way, even if it means stacking up secrets. 

Four brothers bound together by an unbreakable bond forged in their dark past. If one of them falls, will they all?

"Sometimes I feel like my insides are a raging flood of emotions when I look at you, but I don't mind drowning."

Twisted Bonds is a (full-length) continuation of Nino and Kiara's story, which was told in Twisted Emotions. One of my remarks for that book was that I didn't feel that the story was complete and I wanted more development for the characters. So I was very happy that this book was focusing on that couple again. There was still a lot that I wanted for this couple, so I was really excited to see how everything would develop further for them. Twisted Bonds was a great addition to The Camorra Chronicles. I loved seeing how every character was doing and handling all the good and bad from the previous books. The family aspect was strong on the foreground and I enjoyed seeing how the brothers got through things from the past. I liked getting to know Adamo and Savio better in this book, and it really has me excited for their books. The relationship beween Nina and Kiara transformed in this book, and I especially loved seeing Kiara grow stronger. 

"All of us have experienced horrors in our past but we'll create a beautiful future together."

Twisted Bonds was suspenseful, romantic, sexy, emotional, funny, and it pretty much had everything I enjoy in mafia romances. I am really happy that Cora decided to continue with Nino and Kiara's story. It finally feels complete. They go through a lot in this book but they never lose sight of what is important in life. I loved seeing the dynamics change between the brothers and I look forward to seeing what will happen next. I am satisfied with how everything worked out in this book. Nowadays I don't read a lot of mafia romances, but I will never pass up on a book written by Cora Reilly. I am dedicated and feel a connection to her characters, and always look forward to seeing how they are doing.
