2.75

decent 2.75/5. I felt that Nevio's excuse for everything was his father. Like he kept mentioning how his father kidnapped his mother and everything, and I feel like that shouldn't be an excuse. This book was also horribly dragged out. Everything could've been solved if he didn't act on lust, or impulse, and honestly the way he treated his son was just disgusting. He can't even compare his actions to Remo's actions (Which in this case Remo stepped up to become a father and loved them when he first saw them.) I think honestly think Cora Reilly's 2nd generation grew up spoilt, and unmannered. The way Isabella acted towards Aurora during the weekend was an ick. She didn't hold you hostage, so I don't know why you're acting like that. I also think Battista is a horrible name and Cora's writing genuinely just sucks right now. I was really anticipating this book, but it came out to be a disappointment like all books currently right now. I hated how Nevio refused to take responsibility for his actions and made Aurora do it all, and I also hoped there was more bonding scenes with his son. Overall this was really a disappointing read.
