Twisted Cravings-Cora Reilly

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 2.5/5

SOOOOO, Cora Reilly..... we have to talk. This book fell so flat and I was so hopeful with Adamo! he was so sweet and innocent and I couldn't wait for him to fall deeply in love like the other Falcone's. This felt like a book for a different series and I feel bad for the Adamo we all fell in love with in Twisted Emotions.

We knew that Adamo was different, he didn't want to be a Cammorista in Twisted Emotions. He was pretty closed off to his brother, but was nothing but kind to the women, being a sweet loveable person that everyone fell in love with, showing that at least one Falcone brother could be sweet while the women adjusted to their new way of living.

Buuuuutttttt....Lets not talk about that, because Adamo gets his own story, where he falls in love with a girl at his camp where he hosts street racing.

The youngest Falcone brother has finally grown up!

Adamo relied on drugs to cope through the thoughts and pressures of becoming a Made Man for his family. While being set straight by his family, he begins with the help of his brothers an illegal street racing business that becomes his ultimate passion. He then discovers a new racer at his race, with a Russian accent....One accent that his family has learned not to trust that well. But this girl only entices Adamo.

You follow the fast paced and fiery love story finding themselves both entangled in a passionate game that goes beyond the race track no matter how much they both try to ignore and deny it.

Their passion is a dangerous game, which can often come with a brutal price. Can they both walk out still standing and champions?

As for what I didn't like for this novel, this book held such high expectations for Adamo, all readers forming an emotional bond to him and only to fuel our excitement until time for his book in the series (or if your a rebel like me, I read them out of order.)

Dinara was the basic textbook "I'm not like other girls" character, which we often see so much without any further character development and that's the case of what happened with this novel. Dinara came off so annoying and off putting at first, even thought she had the aspect of high drawn walls because of her past it often made her seem like she was in a bad mood and always drinking and smoking to deal with that.

The storyline as much as I wanted to love it, doesn't fit. How can a Mafia Princess learn to race cars, build cars, become addicted to heroin and many other things without her father knowing? this plot just doesn't fit a mafia plot line, as much as Reilly tried to make it work.

I wish Adamo' story got better and improved over the story but it doesn't and that hurts my heart. The youngest Falcone deserved better.
