Independently Published Twisted Emotions

NinoKiara are one of my fav comfort couples. I go back to this book all the time when I need to feel something. Kiara is in my opinion Cora's best femal character, I just love this woman so much words cannot even describe it. She's so strong et so soft, I want to give her the biggest hug. Nino is the perfect man for her. The way he was always so patient and understanding with her even when this man can't even feel emtions...ugh. He's everything and he helped Kiara to become more confident and be herself. This couple is one of the best mafia couples to ever exist. They will always be very special to me ❤️

Twisted Emotions is what of the best books I've read in ALL my life, and Nino & Kiara are both incredible heroes.Nino is the Camorra's Consigliere, Remo's brother, and he's known for having no emotions. When the Camorra needs to make peace with the Famiglia, he's the one who's offered for an arranged marriage with Luca's cousin. Kiara is the strong, sensible girl who's offered to marry Nino. But she has some secrets that she carried with her, and it could mean ruining the peace for the two familias.Kiara is so strong. That's the word we all would use to describe her. She's so strong. Nino is so patient and he tries his best to understand her. Seeing their love blossom and seeing Kiara blossom as well is really amazing.This story is about love, family, abuse and strenght. It's such a sad and yet beautiful book, and both Nino & Kiara have such terrible backgrounds, but their love is one in a kind. This is one of those stories where you cry tears of happiness because they got their happy ending, because you KNOW they DESERVE it.

Wow!!!! This was such an emotional read, my heart ached more than once throughout the story.I loved this book. I’m reading all the books in the Born in Blood and the Camorra series and they are all phenomenal. This is the story of Nino and Kiara, one of my favorite ones.Nino, Remo's brother, is incapable of feelings but he is a fascinating character and Kiara feels broken, she can't trust anyone. They have to get married in an attempt to bring peace to two families, the Camorra and the New York Famiglia. It's a marriage of convenience but their relationship develops in a way that they end up helping each other in overcoming all their traumas and form a strong bond. Absolute tear jerker, believe me.Their story is heartbreaking but it is a beautiful story, the emotions are skyrocket high in this book, be warned!

I did enjoy this book and I believe the portrayal of victims to SA is done exceptionally well, however, if you're looking for a strong FMC this is probably not for you (which is justified given what she went through).I love how the MMC was very patient with her and actually wanted to help her get passed her trauma. His complicated character was written very well.The beginning of the book had me confused but you eventually know what's going on lol.🌶🌶/5Mafia romanceTouch her and you 💀Traumatic past (FMC)Most of FMC's family are trashFeared by all but sweet to FMC

Wow, wow, wow! This book!While Twisted Loyalties was the tie to connect this series to the previous one, this almost feels like the official start of the series. Fabiano did not go deep into the mafia lifestyle, but this one is right up there. And just like book 1 of the Born in Blood Chronicles, this one begins with an arranged marriage.Nino was a hard character to figure out in the previous books, but I really enjoyed his portrayal of this one. While he is business-like, and saw the union as nothing more than that, he also treated it with a bit of emotion. He was understanding of the situation for Kiera, he played along with Luca’s rules, he was never cruel to her. The book made multiple claims on how the Vegas mafia seems worse than New York’s, but this book definitely shows otherwise. Maybe it’s just the traditionalist community New York’s is bound in, maybe it’s the types of characters...whatever it is, I found Vegas to be a lot more relaxing. The Falcone brothers are made out to be deadly creatures, but when reading, I was never scared of them. In comparison, Luca and Matteo had a deadly air around them, but Nino and Remo seem much more relaxed. Nino and his brothers are much more down to earth.As per every good arranged marriage, Kiera should have been a virgin, but this was something taken from her years ago. The book did a wonderful job with portraying her discomfort, fear, and trauma, and also unpacking the trauma and getting her to move on. I was scared the fact of what happened to her would be dragged out, but I enjoyed how it was handled early on, and how it was handled in general. I also love how Luca gave permission for it all. I think what they did really speaks to Luca and the Falcone brother’s morals. I enjoy that he didn’t care about such things--also indicating how down to earth he is. Instead the book was able to focus on moving past it.Going back to Nino, I think he is a very unique and interesting character. Dark romances always claim their characters cannot feel, but this time it’s true. I found it wonderful to read about, interesting, but also sad coming from Kiera’s POV.I want to give this book 4 stars, only because it unsatisfied me. While he said it at the end, was it for sure true? I felt like the ending was rushed. I’m giving this 4 and not 5, only because I see after Remo’s book is another for these two. Given Nino’s unique disposition, the love parts couldn’t be rushed and I suspect two books were always planned for them. So I will hold off and wait for more.This plot ends with the brothers getting ready to complete Remo’s plan. I look forward to getting to Twisted Pride and seeing how it all unfolds!
