BY FRENZY I RUIN by Cora Reilly


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MY THOUGHTS AFTER READING...

3.5⭐️

I had to re-read Amo and Greta's book because I just want to make sure I had all the details right.

I've been waiting in dire anticipation for this book ever since it was announced. Cora Reilly is one of fave authors especially when it comes to Mafia romance. She's my go-to... this is why I've re-read Dante and Remo's book a couple of times whenever I'm in a book funk...

Dante and Remo's book was **chef's kiss** 

So... anyway... now we have Nevio's book and I feel like it fell short of the expectations I placed... I'm sorry. 

I mean overall, I enjoyed the book but...is it just me or does Nevio and Aurora's relationship felt lukewarm?? Like, the pacing is the slowest of burn  but it was not as swoon-worthy as I anticipated it to be? 

I don't know how to explain it without giving away spoilers.... I just feel like it lacks swoony banters... I feel like Aurora really was a forgone conclusion from the get-go... like it lacks thrill and butterflies-in-my-tummy-spices... I feel like Aurora should've stood her ground more and not soften right away... I felt like there should've been a character that was strong enough to take Aurora away from Nevio that made him realize the error of his ways....  anyway...  you just have to read it to get what I mean.
