Similar to Bound by Love where it was from Luca’s point of view, Bound by the Past is from Dante’s - at least for the first part, then it becomes dual POVs between himself and Val.
I could be completely wrong, but I can’t help think Cora included Dante’s life pre-Valentina especially for us skeptical readers (I can’t be the only one who wasn’t as big a fan of Dante) to better understand his demeanor both publicly and privately. I’m pretty sure she was the missing link that I needed in order to see Dante in a whole different light. Let’s start with the reason as to why I am now pro Dante, shall we?Ĭarla made me like Dante. It is, however, recommended that you read Bound by Honor, Bound by Duty, Bound by Hatred, Bound by Temptation and Bound by Love, as well as Twisted Loyalties and Twisted Pride in advance because this book entails spoilers for all of the aforementioned books. You should read (at least) Bound by Duty before starting Bound by the Past. I’ll try to keep the rambling to a minimum. With the release coming soon, I want to make sure you guys are up to date and that when you read on, my review will (kinda, sorta) make sense to you. Now fast forward to 2020, and I fiiiiiiiiinally see it! *cue the harp*īefore I move along with my review I’m adding Cora’s disclaimer first. When other fans swooned over him I always (silently, mind you–didn’t need my head getting bitten off) thought “hmm…was I missing something?” or “What did they see in him that I sure as hell couldn’t?” - things like that. From my perspective, he definitely lived up to the Iceman image. I didn’t hate the guy, to me he was just… meh, okay. When I first read Bound by Duty back in 2016, Dante Cavallaro wasn’t my favourite protagonist. You’ve officially gotten me… or should I say you’ve finally gotten me to like Dante! 😋 I never expected them to tear at the very base of our family, of our existence. Growing up in the mafia, I knew the challenges in our life would be numerous. On our wedding day I made a vow to stand by Dante’s side. Would my betrayal destroy everything I swore to protect? Above all else.įive times I chose a woman over the good of the Outfit.
With my blood I made a vow to our cause, swore my life to it, promised to put the Outfit first. I killed so many because they betrayed our cause, because they betrayed the Outfit.įive times I betrayed the Outfit.
