Outstanding!!! Ava Lucas slayed!

This is a perfect example of when the storytelling and the casting do each other justice and the end result is engaging and very satisfying. I loved the pace of the story, how Cora Reilly made smart decisions on the plotting and storyline. The writing is well developed and with the narration of Ava Lucas it gets elevated even more. A solid listen if you are into mafia romance and enjoy interconnected stories.

Duty

Bound by Duty by Cora Reilly pulled me in from the very beginning. Mafia romance is my favorite genre and the author has created a family of characters that are intense and compelling. Each book is a standalone listen and has character cameo appearances from other books. I love how they are interwined. Ava Lucas performs this book so well. She brings them to life.

Great narrater

I really enjoyed the voice in this book. It made it very easy to become engaged quickly. The story line is awesome too.

Loved it

Loved this book. Narrator was great. Enjoyed listening to it. Looking forward to next book.

Not my favorite in the series

I read the entire series 1st and now I am wandering through the audio version. It is evident that Dante starts to care about his new wife, however, nothing in the story leads me to believe that he ever got over his feelings for wife. That is why I knocked it down to a three obviously the man has moved on and is starting a family as head of the mafia syndicate. Yes he demonstrated that he cared enough to protect Valentina and bend to her wishes at times, but this is not one of your he really loves her novels. Give me my escapism, please!
