“Every morning I woke, I swore to myself I'd be a better man. A better Capo. A better husband. A better father.”
Plot
Dante
My life’s a tale of betrayal.
I killed so many because they betrayed our cause, because they betrayed the Outfit.
A hypocrite. A liar. A murderer.
That’s what I am.
Five times I betrayed the Outfit. With my blood I made a vow to our cause, swore my life to it, promised to put the Outfit first. Above all else.
Five times I chose a woman over the good of the Outfit. I betrayed my father. My vow. My men.
You reap what you sow.
Would my betrayals destroy everything I swore to protect?
Valentina
On our wedding day I made a vow to stand by Dante’s side.
In good and in bad times.
To love him through it all.
Growing up in the mafia, I knew the challenges in our life would be numerous. I never expected them to tear at the very base of our family, of our existence.
Conclusion
Two small notes before I start with my review:
1. Bound by the Past is spread over two years.
2. Before you read this you should read 'Bound by Duty' first.
I loved this book so much. We got to see Val as a loving mom.
We got to see Dante as a loving dad but also as the cold mafia boss that he is. They have such a great family dynamic. It was quite interesting to read about Dante's past.
The emotional connection between Val and Dante is so strong. They are a POWER COUPLE.
It was a great story. You should definitely read it if you like Mafia romances or if you liked 'Bound by Duty' and want to read more about Dante and Val.
5 out of 5 stars
