Twisted Loyalties

The misogyny was even more prevalent in this one than the second book and I know this is a dark romance, but I found Fabiano to be quite manipulative and coercive towards Leona. There was a scene where she told him she trusted him and he asked her to prove it by stripping for him, even though she was uncomfortable and expressed how much she didn't want to, he coerced her to do so. And it only got worse from there.

I liked Leona even though I found her to be quite the doormat, for both her parents and Fabiano, but she is a product of her surroundings so I can't judge her too harshly.

this was so boring? the beginning was promising, but then it devolved into nonsense because of leona's stupidity. i think this would have been more enjoyable if i hadn't already read nino's book. this one pales in comparison. i didn't care for leona when she was mentioned in the next book and now i know why. fabiano really deserved a stronger woman to risk it all for.
