Sometimes I feel like my insides are a raging flood of emotions when I look at you, but I don’t mind drowning
I was so engrossed in this book not only did I not highlight much, I finished the book in one sitting and I don't mind the bloodshot eyes at all.

I don't mind Remo or Nino to be honest, both are good. Nino especially in this book was great.

This book has a lot of repetition from Twisted Emotions and Twisted Pride. If you want to skip it, you can start reading from Chapter 12.

THIS IS NOT SPOILER FREE

Twisted Bonds is such a fitting name because this book was very focused on the family of the Falcones' - plot of the witch lady aka the Falcones' mother being killed (as she deserved to), Kiara-Nino trying for babies, Serafina-Remo and their babies, Fabi-Leona's engagement and Adamo's trauma. It was a book that touched on their family that was growing one pregnancy at a time and it could give a lot of baby fever if that's your thing.

I don't, usually don't have a good impression of arranged marriages (coming from a Southeast Asian family who do that a lot) because I can't see myself spending the rest of my life with someone I'm given away like a trophy to. I'd want to be more than just a body that I have to service with because "it's the husband's rights", I don't believe in the whole arrangement. But somehow mafia books make arranged marriages look fun, especially in the Camorra world (and Gianna-Matteo from Born in Blood series).

It makes me feel like there is hope especially if a love like Kiara and Nino's exist. I don't know how to describe it but they're just so open and sensitive and vulnerable to each other it's something that I think all relationships should have. If you don't want to be emotionally responsible, encouraging or take aligned actions that makes your partner feel secure... what makes you date? What makes you want to be in a relationship? I love that Nino was able to provide the emotional safety Kiara needed and I loved how Kiara was able to provide the space for Nino to grow and accept him of everything. But I don't love how this book made me feel so lonely

I know that Savio probably has a book (going in blind as usual) and I want to see who tames his bull
