Plot

Fabiano was raised to follow in his father’s footsteps as Consigliere of the Chicago Outfit – until the man abandons him. Left to fend for himself, Fabiano is forced to fight for a place in the mafia world. As a ruthless street fighter, he quickly earns his place as the new Enforcer of the Las Vegas Camorra – a man to fear.

Leona wants to build a decent life for herself, away from her drug-addicted mother. But soon she catches the attention of a dangerous man – Fabiano Scuderi. Staying out of trouble and living a normal life are near impossible with a man like him.

Leona knows she needs to avoid Fabiano, but men like him aren’t easy to shake off. They always get what they want.

Fabiano cares about only one thing: the Camorra.

But his attraction to Leona soon puts his unwavering loyalty to the test. Is Leona worth risking everything he’s fought for, and ultimately his life?

Conclusion

'Twisted Loyalties' is the first book in the Camorra Chronicles. It can be read as a standalone but I'd advise you to read the books in the Born in Blood chronicles (books 1,3,4) so you can get to know Fabiano's past a little bit.

The hero is Fabiano who's the little brother of Aria, Gemma and Liliana. 

He was way darker and colder than I was expecting him to be. I admired his loyalty to the Falcone brothers but his love and protectiveness towards Leona was also really admirable.

Leona was very sweet and since she was an outsider she didn't know about the mafia world or what's happening in it.

I liked how Cora built their relationship. Not too slow but also not too fast. It was just the right pace.

Fabi and Leona had so much chemistry. There was so much action in their story.

Cora's ability to build the mafia world is incredible. I loved the Falcone brother's sooo much. Especially Nino :)
