Twisted Cravings (The Camorra Chronicles Book 6)

I have read all of Cora Reilly's mafia books. Most I really enjoy, others are just okay, and a few I do not have any interest in rereading. Unfortunately, Twisted Cravings lands in the latter of those three. This book was a disappointment. I did not have any real expectations of what the story would entail, but what Reilly wrote left a lot to be desired. One positive aspect of this story was the pacing of Dinara and Adamo's relationship was good. In the last couple of books, Cora Reilly has spent too much of the plot before the two main characters' relationship develops, and I have not enjoyed that. This book does not have that issue with Dinara and Adamo entering a relationship in the first third of the book. Also, what little we saw of the Falcone clan was good; it was pretty cute; however, it honestly feels as if Adamo is not a part of this family. The majority of the book takes place in Camp, the settlement of race car drivers, during their racing season. While the first couple of races were interesting to read about, they got old fast. The book felt repetitive, with Adamo and Dinara continually leaving Camp to return to Chicago or Vegas. Also, I am still a little confused about Dinara's motives to join the races and why her father is okay with her driving. There seems to be a dichotomy between him wanting to protect her and letting Dinara do whatever the hell she wants. Reilly has created what seems to be two different Remos, the Remo from his own book or Nino's books and then the Remo you see in Twisted Cravings and in parts Twisted Hearts. I understand that Remo is supposed to act differently with people outside his family, but he does not act the same way in this book with Adamo as he does with Nino, Savio, or even a younger Adamo. This book made me miss the old Remo. The grammar in this book was not good. I am not very good a writing grammatically correct, it is not something I would normally notice while reading books, but I did. To me, that signals that in the beginning, the book was poorly written. Probably the biggest reason I did not enjoy this book was, the reader knows nothing about Dinara. We are given one line of information about her, but nothing is expanded on. The reader does not even know why/when Dinara learned to race. Towards the end of the book, Dinara makes a point of saying people do not tend to like her or that she is not very social. This did not line up with the personality presented to the reader throughout the book. Nothing about her was very off-putting that would make me think that she is an unlikeable person. By the end of the book, it feels as if the only thing the reader really knows about Dinara is that she is an abuse survivor. When I do not enjoy Reilly's books, it's because I do not feel connected to the characters in the story, or I dislike the main character (Gianna). In Twisted Cravings I wasn't given the chance to like any of the characters, because I learned almost nothing about them. Anything I know about Adamo comes from previous books. Dinara's story was never fleshed out. This book had so much potential to be good, but the story just wasn't. Nothing about it was enough. The reader didn't get enough details in the Dinara's backstory, not just the abuse, but the aftermath. We learned absolutely nothing about Adamo's time in New York, and Adamo doesn't feel like a member of the Falcone family anymore. While this might not be my least favorite mafia story written by Cora Reilly, I do think its the worst written story out of the Bound by and Camorra Chronicles. It was just disappointing across the board. Two Stars

Adamo was my favorite character and this book took all of his character, threw it in the trash, and made a super bad boy? For what? I have to fully reject this book as canon but here are some things that happened that were wild (spoilers obviously): -he confesses he loves her while she’s covered in her mom’s blood -Dinara picks a fight for no reason and constantly takes things the worse way -they got lock and key tattoos as if that isn’t the most heterosexual thing to do, I don’t know what is -the whole thing after they get married is a train wreck I would have been fine with things up until the death of her mom, but then it went from ‘revenge plot’ to ‘Disney youth’ plot? Her dad forbids her from seeing Adamo again and it’s so dramatic. It really changed the tone of the book and we never really got back on track. Twisted Hearts was not my cup of tea but it was so much better than this. Trust me. You can imagine a better book for Adamo than reading this.

I don't know about other readers, but I do not like to see things happen in books that you see on the TV. I do not like it when authors put horrible things in their books. Casting all that aside, I was so disappointed in this book. I have looked forward to it for forever and it just dragged on and on.Adamo is sweet, but the whole book just drags. This has been my favorite series of hers and I cannot express the disappointment this book brought me.

I love every single mafia book this author has written. I've read and reread and reread them all. I'd eagerly waited for this book to come out...and I had to force myself to keep reading. It's not adamo's story. It's dinara's. We have no idea how adamo became who be became. What he went through with luca. How he reconciled with remo, or with his own past even. He never tells dinara about cj or any of his experiences really. (She tells him about past relationships and what she's been through). All in all, Adamo felt like a pretty generic male character to dinara's lead role. And I didn't care for all the emphasis on the racing and mindless killing. Just didn't do it for me. I felt like this book lacked the depth of character that all this author's other books really have.

The trigger warning at the beginning of the book is not an exaggeration. This book really deals with some seriously heavy stuff. But first things first. I was really disappointed that we didn’t get to see Adamo in New York. All the other brothers had some background story on their books but with Adamo it was straight to the present time with only one mention of his time with the Famiglia. Not enough! I was always curious about his involvement and how he interacted with his half brother while in New York and, honestly, that was one of the main reasons why I couldn’t wait for this book to come out. Now I’ll never know. Bummer! Despite the fact that the series is about mafia and there’s a lot of violence, nothing gets close to what’s dealt in this story. I won’t lie: it was uncomfortable for me to read about Dinara’s past, to put it mildly. However, we never had a chance to see how she became so good at racing. We only got the heavy stuff. Also, I wasn’t convinced by Adamo’s sudden dark side. I say sudden because we didn’t get to read about his past from his point of view! Even though he was featured in all the other books, we hadn’t seen his perspective, only what others considered. And that’s another reason why I wished we had seen him in New York. I have a feeling that a lot happened to him there, but we didn’t get to see it and apparently we never will. So we just had to accept that he changed, just like that. Lastly, but definitely not least, the romance between Adamo and Dinara was a bit rushed. There wasn’t a lot of “build up” as opposed to the previous books in the series. So that was a little disappointing too. What I actually enjoyed in this book was learning about the illegal races. I didn’t know that they were so elaborate and that the racers practically lived together in this sort of community. I found that was pretty cool. I bet they were all more like a family than competitors, at least that’s the vibe I got from this book. In the end, once I got through all the heavy darkness, I actually started appreciating Adamo and Dinara’s romance. I absolutely loved the epilogue and that is the main reason for my rating of 3.5 stars.

I am so in love with Adamo and Dinara! Cora Reilly did it again, this story is everything I expected and more, a little darker and different than the previous books in the series, full of emotional moments and steamy scenes, perfect for a character like Adamo. This couple is everything, their pasts haunt them both and even though they are enemies, sparks fly between them when they meet each other, as the story progresses we see their connection grow and their relationship evolve, and soon they are tangled in a passionate game of secrets and passion, the author definitely knows how to keep the reader on the edge of the seat and with the heart in the throat. This is a roller coaster of emotions that left me wanting more, I also loved the glimpses we had of all Falcone family, Twisted Cravings is so amazing, absolutely brilliant, hot, full of violence, angst and action, also contains certain sensitive themes that may not be for everyone, but definitely a must read for fans of Cora Reilly!! I will never tire of this series and the Camorra, I hope that Mrs. Reilly writes forever about them.

I have been waiting for this book for such a long time. The overall plot and story was just fantastic! Dinara was definitely the highlight of this book. That being said, I wish there was more about Adamo and his journey of how he overcame and fought his demons, as mentioned in the previous books. I felt like this book was way too focused on Dinara and her problems, and Adamo's issues were just brushed over. What I loved about the book was the bits and pieces of family moments that we did receive; Remo was just fantastic in this book, and Dinara (you can't help but root for her throughout this book). Overall, I did enjoy this book, but I just felt that Cora separated this book from the rest of the series, even though it's part of a series, and focused too much on Dinara. I also would have liked to see more family interactions, but I understand that Cora is saving that for the Camorra Anthology. Overall, this book is definitely worth the read.

I can’t believe it is the end for the Camorra Chronicles, but we still have so much more in the future is time for the second generation. I love it this book was the perfect closure to this adventure. Adamo is a man now he is not a kid with drug problems anymore. He meet Dinara and he immediately was pull it by her. Dinara had a terrible childhood during the time she was with her mom. And the end she meet Adamo and he helped her to found closure. Remo. Nino, Kiara, Fina, Savio and Gemma and of course the kids were the cherry of the cake. Adamo is one of my favorite After Nino and his book was exactly what I was expecting. No arrangement marriage, not weeding to make peace. They live their love in their own way. Thank you for this wonderful end.

I loved reading this series but hate it's ending. Twisted Cravings is the youngest Falcone brother Adamo's story. Cora's anti heroes are always hard with others but soft with their women. Although Adamo is in the camorra he has a soft side to him just don't cross him or the ones he loves. Dinara was absolutely perfect for Adamo. As the daughter of a Russian pahkan she lived a privileged life but also a broken one. Her mother, and I use that term loosely allowed despicable things happen to Dinara as a child. The falcons brothers caught up with the mother, and once they found out put a stop to it. Mini and Remo may be "monsters" but even they know there's limits when children are involved. Anyway Dinara and Adamo went on journey that brought them closer than ever. The lengths he went through to be with the woman he loved was so awesome. Dinara was a broken soul but she also showed strength. Battled with her actions and demons. The couple reminds me a little of bonnie and clyde except they're not stealing but settling scores. Trust me you don't want to miss out on this wild ride with these two. Once again Cora reminds me why she's one of my favorite authors. I look forward to more stories. Go ahead and read TC you won't be disappointed!!!!

This was supposed to be Adamo’s story, but I was pleasantly surprised that at the heart of it, it was about Dinara and Remo’s twisted sense of justice. The overtly psychotic Remo being by far my favorite Cora Reilly character, this story worked for me. I only wish the author included a little more about the rest of the Falcone family in this book. I never get tired of reading about Remo’s son, Navio’s shenanigans and his interactions with his twins and cousins. At times the plot was a bit predictable and slow but overall Twisted Cravings is a great addition to the Camorra Chronicles.

At times the plot was a bit predictable and slow but overall Twisted Cravings is a great addition to the Camorra Chronicles.

After Fragile Longing, I was super nervous for this one, I'm not going to lie. I wasn't a fan of Fragile Longing due to the fact that Cora never gave Sofia a chance to grow out of her childhood issues and move past her past insecurities. She absolutely blew me away with Adamo and Dinara though! The fact that Dinara was eager to learn about her past to finally move on, and the voraciousness in which she tackled her quest. Honestly breathtaking. She was strong without Adamo, but he made her thrive in all aspects. Something I just didn't feel with Fragile Longing. The way she wanted to conquer her demons from her childhood while still respecting her father was also beautiful. And Adamo grew up so much as well! I was so excited to finally get his book to see where his tumultuous journey took him. I think New York and Luca was the best thing that could have happened for him. He grew to be so strong, and the fact that he overcame his own vices to grow and be who he wanted to be was amazing. For him to recognize he and Dinara were one and the same and be what Dinara needed was poetic. Honestly, Dinara is my top 2 of Cora's mafia women, behind Kiara. They are both incredibly strong, and only made better with their men behind them. Both of their character development is awe inspiring. I love that Cora showed that not everyone handles trauma the same, but no matter the path, they both came out stronger. I couldn't recommend this book to anyone highly enough. Just bravo, Cora.

This was a difficult story with it's heartbreaking tragedies and darkness, but it was certainly a wild ride. Although they're from two completely different families, fate has set them on a path that will either break them or make them stronger, and that's before their families get involved. Lol! It's definitely a story that you won't want to miss! I really would love to see how the kids of all the different mafia families are all grown up! If you haven't already, I would highly recommend reading the Born in Blood series prior to beginning this one. It's not necessary, but I think that you'd have a better understanding of the characters, the different mafia families, character backgrounds, and the dynamics between all of them. They're fantastic stories, and you won't be disappointed. I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

I feel like this book really reached to have a dark theme. The trauma the girl dealt with was crazy to say the least. I wish there was more closure with the families. I mean by this time were pretty invested in the Falcone family so is it to much to ask for more family time. I mean I want to hear about Savio and Gemma's kids! Also, how lame to have them still racing at 40....they are not going live like that forever. It was a hard ending for what was a wonderful family brought to life! I loved Nino's story and Remo's.....Savios was a little less and this one just wasn't what I thought it would be at all! I honestly thought Luca's daughter was who Adamo should end up with to really solidify that family connection! It could have been so much better!

“Every Day since you’ve been in my life has been better than any day before we met” “There won’t ever be another day without you in my life” This was the book that I was most looking forward to this year & last year & it didn’t disappoint. Honestly the best read of the year (so far). I can’t express how much I loved this book & I’ve re-read it so many times since it was released (not even a week ago!). We finally get the last book of the youngest Falcone, Adamo. He is not the same boy we first met in Twisted Loyalties, now he is all grown and ready to find his calling in the mafia world of the Camorra. We get to meet Dinara in this book who is a perfect match for Adamo; she’s strong, fearless, & haunted with some ghost of the past like Adamo. This book has so many heart-wrenching moments of Dinara’s & Adamo’s past that leave your heart aching for all they have been through. As the book continues, we read about Dinara’s & Adamo’s journey as they try to move on from their haunted past & overcome the nightmares that have haunted them for so long. Reading about Dinara’s & Adamo’s journey that eventually gets us to the end was beautiful, so much heart-aching moments that both characters had to live through that made them stronger. When it comes to Cora’s book, my only complaint was the book not being longer. I would have loved to read more bout them & their life after the epilogue. Hopefully, in the future Cora decides to write more about them, fingers crossed we get to see them in the Camorra anthology. PS. The book touches on some darker/traumatic subjects so please read with caution & look at TW at the beginning of the book. Happy Reading!

The baby brother is all grown up and Adamo has lived up to his potential as a Monster of the Camorra just like his brothers. I'm so happy to see him come into his own and accept himself for what he is...A Falcone! I truly loved Dinara as his heroine. She and him had nightmares and battles to fight and they realized they fought better when they fought them together. An amazing ending to the series but I so want to see more of the Camorra Brothers. Truly awesome series and I definitely recommend that you read. P.S. They are better when read in order :) Enjoy!

I enjoyed this book and loved both the H and h but I miss the connection to the rest of the family. I was hoping to see more of the family bond and the next generation. I hope the author writes more about the characters. I don't feel like we got enough of their background stories. With all that being said, Adamo's story was good.

This is a must read the sixth book of The Camorra Chronicles. 4 brothers Abamo the youngest,this is his story tho he appears in all the other brothers books. Just received super fast still reading Savios story ( the playboy brother). Adamo on quiet side loves racing cars, got into trouble time to time, baby of the brothers. Remo always protected,raising him I highly recommend this book along with the other in this series. One of best Mafia stories around . Family ,Loyalty , Feared by many.

Adamo and Dinara have a craving of darkness in them. Both have a past of pain and a love for racing. Adamo has always been the black sheep of the family and couldn’t wait for his story. Cora did not disappoint, I loved Adamo’s transition into adulthood. We get a peek at the Falcone clan and Fabiano’s family. Can’t wait for the next generations books. Cora did her thing and left us some Easter eggs. Happy reading and hunting for those clues.

I really enjoyed this book. Adamo finally gets his story and it was a wild adventure. This book was full of twists and darkness but also filled with romance and tenderness. Dinara was a hardcore woman. I loved every second of her and Adamo. Fantastic book. I absolutely loved the ending. Cora Reilly has a way with words that suck you in to the story and make it feel like you are there watching and never want it to end.

So I just finished reading twisted cravings. Honestly this is the best book I have ever read. I cried happy and sad tears. I bit my nails in excitement and horror. At one point my whole body was covered in goose bumps(something that's never happened to me while reading before). Maybe it's because I have such an investment in the falcone family. Buckle up people because it's a ride.

Wow, what a wild ride. This one shocked me so much about the past that dinera had to live through. So glad her and Adamo could get through everything and still get to keep the nomad life they loved. Such a romantic ride of life. Always having the one you love beside you as you do the thing in life you love. As usual Cora you rocked this book!

This book seriously made me crave going on the open road and living like a nomad. It’s dark, it’s sexy, and it’s definitely different than anything else Cora has ever written! There’s some major triggers in this book but, for me at least, that just makes it all the better. Dinara is a character I can resonate with. The gritty details just add to the experience and you really do feel the things she feels as you read. And it’s nice to have little snippets of the Falcone kids too! This is a MIST BUY if you love dark and I mean DARK romance!

Cora Reilly, you did it again! This story was incredible! I especially loved Adamo and Dinara becoming a literal killer couple as they cruised around Las Vegas, killing all of the people who had abused Dinara as a child. It was like they were a modern day Bonnie and Clyde if those two had ever had a happy ending which Adamo and Dinara do get. It was a great book, I could hardly put it down. Thank you Cora for another great book!

Having read all of the books in the series and following Adamo’s story through the earlier books I loved being able to read about him finding his own acceptance for his past and his life going forward. As a huge fan of Cora Reilly and especially the Falcone family I was so happy for this ending and felt content in Adamo’s story being complete. I hope Cora decided to release another anthology to see the rest of the family living their peace as well.

This story like the other was great even though the darkness that effected their lives almost claimed their lives. Her justice was so bloody and unlawful yet I didn’t find it to be wrong. They all got what they deserve. Later they chose such a nomadic life and yet still had a great life together.

Each of the Cammora series build on one another. Adamo is so much better than he was in prior stories. We finally get to know him and his relationship with Remo. We also finally get Adamo's love story. I look forward to the next generation.

I love Cora's books sooooo much! This is one of my favorite mafia romance series and Adamo and Dinara's story did not disappoint. Highly recommend! I also think it would be cool if the author included a family tree in the beginning of her books. Can't wait for the next story!

I like all Cora,s book especially the twisted series , Reno,s book was one of my favorite,however Alamo,s story lacked a lot of those elements, it felt like all the events came from him, there was no fire between the characters,everything was rushed .

I have these series and how they are all linked together. The things that happen never cease to surprise me. I can say that I would to see a series of the children from all these families since they’ve been introduced so well throughout.

I'm so happy Cora wrote the exciting stories of the Falcone brothers and the women they love. I love this series and closing with Adamo and Dinara was the perfect ending. I'm ready for the next generation to cause havoc.

Adamo story was good. I liked it, but Remo and Nino stories were definitely my favorite of the books. I think Savio and Adamo were just missing the bad ass part I loved of their story.

Nino is still my favorite, but omg Adamo comes very close lol. I love the was these men LOVE. Cora has a way with words and bringing you in. I definitely recommend this whole series.

This was definitely not the ideal HEA but I guess when you look back at Adamo’s story this was the most appropriate ending to his story. He found his unconventional HEA in Dinarra.

The book has some surprising twists that even I didn’t expect and I read every book leading up to this one but I’m glad it ended the way it did. It was a great read

I loved this complete series of the Camorra Chronicles. You bought this family so much pain, suspense, tears and steamy romance. You are an amazing author.

I love all her books and love this one because of how it feels like a completed. Series. I do hope the kids books come out and see the family future

Love this series! This couple lives on the edge of the mafia and the bratva. It’s a great story to see how they get through the minefields.

Thank you Cora Reilly. This book was so worth the wait. Adamo had so much self growth. The darkness of this was so good each of them. Loved it.

Cora Reilly is one of my new favorite authors and I was PUMPED to read more Camorra! And Ms. Reilly did NOT disappoint! Twisted Cravings is a dark, twisted story of pain and love. Steamy scenes do not disappoint nor are they repetitive. Don't hesitate, read it today!

I was happy to see the Falcone again but this story was not one that I like or wanted to read again.

Almost as good as the rest. Love these books by Cora Reilly Awesome writing. I am obsessed with her characters and mafia stories. Best series I've ever had.

This is not the Adamo you know. Dinara a force strong woman. This book was definitely worth the wait. You definitely will not be disappointed!

Loved this whole series so sad that its the last book but Cora really outdid her self ❤🖤 can't wait for the next generation

Some people might say it's too short since it's only has 300 pages but it's all you need. It is a great story you can feel the pain the fear it is a book that makes you shiver. I really enjoy the path they go through to find light in the darkness of their souls/world.

Loved adamos story. Loved how he finally understood remo . really good read definitely a recommend. Enjoyed adamo growing up.

I've have been a fan of Cora's books since Bound by Honor which was the cause for her continued mafia series. I love these books and can't wait to read more of them.

Quick read. I enjoyed the book. It wasn’t my favorite book out of the bunch but still a good ending!

I’ve loved every single one of her books! You should read them!! You won’t regret it! Start from the beginning.

I had a lot of apprehension going into Twisted Cravings, for two reasons. The first is just because of my love for this series. I’ve read every book that Cora Reilly has written- and the Camorra Chronicles is by far my favorite of her series. I love the OG Bound crew, but nothing compares to the Falcones. The CC books were more gripping, more emotionally complex, and full of intense chemistry. And then, well then Savio’s happened. And while I respected CR’s artistic vision, that story was… well, let’s just say it wasn’t for me. So my expectations are high for this series...but I was also nervous for a second reason: Adamo. The Falcone brother I haven’t always loved, even though I hurt for him- the once sweet kid turned distrurbed and petulant teen. Last we saw him, he was still in the thick of some much needed maturing- and like so many young, entitled, and confused teens, he made some mistakes. I loved his vulnerability, his fragile heart amongst his hardened brothers, but Adamo was so lost. And he frustrated me. So just what would that mean for this book? Well, truth be told, this story isn’t really about Adamo. Nor is it about the Camorra or even really the mafia. The focus is more on the heroine, and the mafia is a slight hum in the background as this story becomes more about the street racing aspect of their business, but even more so about a revenge quest. The premise, the love story, the heroine all feel very different than the other stories in the series- which both are interesting and delivered many things I liked, but also left me wanting a bit more in places. But, I really appreciated watching Cora explore new facets of this world, as well as deliver a heroine that feels refreshingly different than those we’ve met thus far. Again, this isn’t Adamo’s story, it’s Dinara’s. Fortunately, Dinara is a heroine worth rooting for, and she’s totally captivating. Don’t get me wrong- I’ve loved our heroines (and Kiara is an all time fav), but Dinara is not your usual mafia princess. She’s feisty, outspoken, independent, and so very brave. She’s a force- one who can stand up to the many, many powerful men around her. That alone makes her stand out, but what I loved even more is her POSITION in the story. Most all of the other women in this series are basically at the mercy of their hero’s journey. They are powerless, trying to make it work in situations not of their choosing. And I’ve LOVED that, but here we have a whole new approach. Dinara is totally in the driver’s seat of her story (pun intended)- she’s got an agenda, and even though men around her have their own games, she’s calling the shots. She’s not trapped or powerless- her world, this story, revolves around her. AND THAT feels different, and powerful, and so interesting. We get to see, perhaps, what the future generations of stories might look like- with women who have more power, with women who have men whose parents see them as more than pawns in a man’s game. And, she’s also just incredibly likable. Her journey is what I loved about this book- her nuance, her complexity, her wounded heart. She’s perhaps the most fully realized character in Cora’s arsenal- and I loved her rough edges and her soft heart. Where this fell short for me, though, was Adamo’s character journey. The Adamo we get here is not the Adamo we knew- which is a good thing. He’s older, wiser, and has taken a lot of steps to confront his pain, his addiction, his anger. The new Adamo has the traits we loved about the young him- he’s caring, open hearted, and unwilling to blindly follow the “Camorra” way. But, he’s also embraced the parts of the Camorra life that appeal to him- he’s pathed his path. That is JUST what I wanted for him, but the only issue is that we don't really understand how he got there- how he worked through the wreckage, his time in NY, reconciling with Remo. And, I missed that- it felt like we didn’t get his story, more so we get to see him already actualized as a character, there in support of Dinara’s very compelling one. But I wanted this for Adamo- I wanted to understand how he grew, see him confront his heavy heavy baggage, and that’s just not this story. If anything, his journey is about him embracing the dark parts of himself he’s worked so hard to repress, and again, that only happens in service of Dinara’s arc. I still enjoyed it- and I liked getting to re- know this Adamo- I just couldn’t connect with him as much as I wanted. So much of this story wasn’t what I expected- no real mafia drama, picking up in a place with Adamo I wasn’t expecting, and definitely less enemies to lovers type vibe and more a friends with benefits type vibe. This starts with some intalust- and the story did start out very slowly for me overall. I didn’t really FEEL their connection, an emotional tie between them. Which is just so different for a Cora book- but also makes sense here, these two have trauma and vices that cause them to cope in different ways. But, mid-way through, the story really picked up for me. They started to open up to each other- the truths about Dinara’s past kept coming out, they found out how much in common they have in terms of past trauma and familial pain, in terms of being lost within their own worlds, and it became more about two hot people who love racing hooking up, it became something more. THEN I felt it- the sweet, tender familiarity between them. And all of a sudden we also get this gripping Bonnie and Clyde type revenge quest as well- and that part was amazing. So, while not the story I expected, and not my favorite in the series, I still enjoyed Adamo’s story- because Dinara’s story, her arc made up for any imperfections. Truly, I can only imagine what a tall task it was tackling complicated Adamo’s book- so much fan expectations. Not the path I expected, but Adamo gets the HEA he deserves, and we get an amazing heroine that I can’t wait to meet again. We do also get some fun time with the rest of the family here or there- but I want even more. I sure hope Cora does an extended epilogue novella or something. And, we get some very intriguing glimpses into the magic that will be the Falcone second generation. Every tiny bread crumb we have makes me all the more ravenous for their stories. This is still my favorite Cora series of all time- and the Falcones will always be my favs. 3.75-4 stars

If you had never read any of the Camorra Chronicles - Solid 4 Stars Unfortunately, if you have, then you know that there are better ones - 3-3.5 Stars I think it's safe to say that when you have to psyche yourself up with several pep talks to even just open the book, there's a huge problem. After the dumpster fire that was Twisted Hearts and the complete boring mess of Fragile Longing, I was afraid. When I finished, I think there was more of a sigh of relief that it wasn't as bad as I had been gearing up for. Adamo- This is it! Baby Falcone is a man. However, it was really hard to reconcile the angsty teenager from before with the race car driver who didn't want to be his brothers. There were so many parts that shaped him over time that were left out that it was like reading someone new with the same name. There was none of his time in New York. No time from when he comes back to the Camorra. Just no reconciliation at all. It was merely just "I run the races so that I don't have to be my brother meanwhile I'll realize that we're very much alike and that's why we constantly squabble". The biggest blunder for me was that Adamo kept mentioning how similar he was to Remo, and that he could lose himself in the emotions of revenge and violence very easily. It would have just been better if he had just accepted that he couldn't outrun who he was meant to be, but there's this constant inner dialogue that's the same. I am not my brother. I don't want to be my brother. I do something violent. Oh, wait! I am like my brother because it felt really good to get revenge, but now I am back to not being like my brother. It's repetitive, old, and lacks character development. It was cute when he was the teenager, not so cute as a man. Dinara - I liked her as a lead character, but I thought her back story was a little far fetched. I don't have anything to say that leads one way or another. As a standalone, she would have been a rememberable heroine. However, when you look at the women that came before her, she doesn't stick out. She just reads like she's an entitled princess who doesn't want your pity, but you should feel sorry for her anyway. I also think one of the biggest pet peeves with her is her name. It's not her birth name, but there's no mention of why she kept it. Bratva/Camorra Relations - So.... we're going to pretend the other doesn't exist? Doesn't really work for me when all along the other women had to choose their side. Kiara was told to forget about New York. Fina left her family and chose Remo to make sure that her kids were respected and loved. It doesn't make sense. It's like the rules have all of a sudden changed to fit the situation but not really a solution. I wish CR would listen to the real reviews and not the fan girls. Something has gone wrong or the muse isn't there anymore. I can still keep reading her books for now, but one day there will be a book worse than TH, and that will kill 90% of the objective fans. At the end of the day, I really feel like that this was a darker retelling of Nino and Kiara's story with a few new elements thrown in. It didn't flop, but it wasn't as good as the previous books in the series. I wish CR would listen to the real reviews and not the fan girls. Something has gone wrong or the muse isn't there anymore. I can still keep reading her books for now, but one day, there will be a book worse than TH, and that will kill 90% of the objective fans. Twisted Hearts is still a dumpster fire.

“People finally had a reason for the nickname they gave my brothers and me. The monsters of Las Vegas. My monstrous side had come out to play but the revelry had only just begun. Remo and I were similar in looks, but that wasn’t our most striking similarity. His cruelty and brutality had appalled me most of my life because it reflected a part of me I despised. Today I made peace with him and me. I had Dinara to thank for that.” Adamo Falcone and the Russian Princess, Dinara Mikhailov. This is a love story. One that’s full of a dark past and seeking vengeance. Adamo Falcone likes to race cars. He’s the best. He knows everyone at his races so when a beautiful redhead shows up and immediately tells Adamo who she is, he’s on alert. She’s a damn Russian. There’s something about the feisty, chain smoking, red headed women with a belly button piercing that Adamo has an instant fascination about. One thing we find out about Adamo is he isn’t like his brothers in a lot of ways but one way would be that he does not sleep around and so he genuinely wants to get to know Dinara. “Soon Adamo and she find themselves entangled in a passionate game that goes beyond the racetrack. Yet, both haunted by events of the past, their dark cravings put everything on the line. As what they crave the most comes with a brutal price.” As the book progresses we slowly figure out that Dinara has a horrendous past. ******* This is where a tr*gger warning definitely needs to be included because it includes *child s*x trafficking. So this book really isn’t about the Camorra at all. And it isn’t about the mafia or anything that we’re used too in this world. Adamo is really the black sheep of the family and has really started his own world in street racing. He definitely lives by his own set of rules and he’s home as minimally as possible. Adamo has definitely grown up. I think we all fell in love with him with his vulnerability, his lack of interest in being a brutal beast like his older brothers can be, and I know that I personally fell in love with him because he wanted a different life for himself than being under his brothers shadows. However, Adamo has that beast growing inside him and he uses it for good. “There’s no place I’d rather be than at your side, even if it involves brutal revenge.” So while we’ve established that this book is really about Adamo and Dinara seeking revenge on those that hurt her, it’s a love story. An unconventional one. My personal opinion of this book. Well. First off, I’m a HUGE fan of Cora Reilly’s. I’ve read all of her books, some multiple times. I own them all in paperback. I. Am. A. Big. Fan. But I have to say that while I love Adamo in his brothers’ books, his own story was my least favorite book of the Camorras. It seemed to drag on and on. I had in my head that this book was going to be completely different. Maybe more about Adamos fight against following his brothers, I thought he’d end up with someone we were already introduced to, or possibly be more about his racing which seems to be glossed over throughout the book. But- What I absolutely loved was the epilogue where we saw into the future and all the kids together.. literally warmed my heart. I don’t know what’s next for Cora Reilly. I’d love to see the next generation grown up and having their own stories and drama unfold! 3.5 stars.

Honestly, you guys… A review does not even do justice to how AMAZING this book is. You really have to read this for yourself and I don't say those words easily or often. It’s so good. 5 stars all the way and so much more. Wow, what an epic thrill ride this book was! Twisted Cravings follows Adamo Falcone and Dinara Mikhailov on this life altering journey that was so much more than I thought it would be. This book is indeed a journey! The amount of character growth, awe shocking moments, heart break, thrilling scenes and action were on another level of writing excellence. It is so layered and multi faceted. As an avid-reader, I appreciate how perfectly each aspect was summed up. There were times while reading this, that I was so impressed by how the author Cora Reilly was able to create this universe. I am one of those people that actually haven’t read all of the Camorra Chronicles books. That being said… let’s briefly discuss reading order… If you have read the prior books, go right on ahead and read one of the BEST books you will ever read. If you have not read any The Camorra Chronicles Series books, you don’t necessarily “have” to. It’s not a requirement in order to understand the story or the characters at all. Of course, if you haven’t read any of The Camorra Chronicles Series books, please note that this is a series of stand-alone novels that features the same mafia family/clan throughout starting from Twisted Loyalties #1 and end with Twisted Cravings #6, that would be the reading order. This will be the last novel in the The Camorra Chronicles Series however there will be a next generation series (yay!). Adamo Falcone is the youngest brother of the Falcone mafia family. Adamo’s older brother Remo is the mafia Capo. Adamo grew up surrounded by blood and violence. He turned to drugs to cope. The book doesn’t harp on the past drug use by Adamo rather beautifully describes what it feels like to have tragedy strike and want to numb your feelings. Adamo loves to race. It’s his passion. He turned his passion into a very profitable hustle for the Falcone family. He is able to live free, outside of Las Vegas. I love Adamo’s life outlook, who he is as a person and I have an insanely huge book crush on him as he is such a dream. Adamo enjoys his carefree life. In walks, Dinara Mikhailov. Red hair, bad-ass personality, beautiful lips, smoking body, and wears biker boots. She also has her fair share of secrets and is on a quest for answers. Answers she deserves. Dinara’s character stole my heart. She dug her way into my soul the way she did to Adamo. Dinara is so uniquely her own person, strong and has had to deal with the worst kind of demons in her past. Her story was touching and perfectly told. From the moment Dinara and Adamo met to one of the most perfect epilogues I have EVER read in my LIFE this story of two soulmates who were fated to be together in this world told in such a perfect way that we have no choice but to follow along and fall in love with both of them. You will fall in love with Adamo and Dinara but also their relationship as a whole. This book has IT ALL from car racing, to romance, to action packed scenes and family. There was no aspect of the story missing. The way their story unfolded was full circle. I wanted to cry at times, but I was smiling more. The book is fast paced, enjoyable to read and has something for everyone. I am so grateful to have received an ARC & I am leaving an honest review.

A mix of mafia and street racing, this was not only a new trope mix for me, but also a new author. I enjoyed the banter between Adamo and Dinara, she had a ton of moxie, but I'd also expect nothing less of a Russian mafia princess. While Dinara could have fallen either into a sheltered woman persona, I liked the brazen-outspoken girl, afraid of nothing better. Dinara is a woman not afraid to take on a man's sport and she jump into Adamo's world seeking knowledge that had been kept from her under her fathers rule. While this is the first time for me entering Cora's world, I could see the history and understand Adamo's resentment at always being left behind and feeling like the little brother, even when he pulls in his weight. Adamo runs his own world by running street races. There he is king, but in a grander circle he has to answer to his older brothers. At what time will he feel like an equal? It finally sinks in that around Dinara he does. I enjoyed this mix and finding a new author to boot. This will not be the last time I venture into Cora's twisted world.

I'm going to make this review short & sweet since I wasn't a fan of Twisted Cravings. First of all, the heroine was basic with no substance despite her saying "I'm not like other girls." She just didn't do it for me, and yeah I know she has a mean past, but relying on a man to help her get the revenge she craves as she pretends to be a bada** just insults me. And Adamo wasn't a strong hero as he faded to the background a lot & it's his story. Not to mention that scene with CJ was unnecessary since at that time he was about Ms. Dinara so there wasn't a chance in hell that I would warm to Adamo at that point. I hate giving negative reviews so much because I can't write a book whatsoever so why would I bag on an author who can, but lately, the books I'm coming across just aren't doing it for me so remember this is only my opinion, and I hope you'll decide for yourselves! {3.5 STARS}

Cora Reilly takes on the youngest Falcone brother in Twisted Cravings for another emotionally charged story in book six of her Camorra Chronicles! Adamo was always the brother that stood apart. Throughout this series he was the brother who questioned his family and his involvement in it. This was a great exploration of his coming to terms with his role in his family. Ms. Reilly did a great job of showing how Adamo differed from his brothers even as he came to terms with acknowledging and embracing his similar inclinations. Dinara like Adamo stood on the periphery of her world, finding enough to care about to not forsake it but not enough to fully accept it. Two kindred spirits, this pair were sensitive despite their tough exteriors as well as heartbreakingly similar in their brokenness and avenues of escape. Their attraction to each other was well played out and how they evolved as a couple was not only unique but fitting for two characters that struggled to find their place within their family’s expectations. Both of Adamo and Dinara carried on Ms. Reilly's tradition of hidden depths, what you least expect she confronts leaving both her portrayals and audience reeling from the impact. This writer shows her strength in giving the veneer of normalization to behaviors that break boundaries and while not condoning them applying reasoning that demonstrates why her character's actions make sense in the world they live in. Twisted Cravings was a brutal story not because of the activities you would expect within the mob arena she writes in but other circumstances. How this writer brought truths to light in this story was intense and gave little reprieve even as she managed to be very considerate and sensitive to the serious nature of her story. Even while focused on Adamo and Dinara's story Ms. Reilly adeptly added layers to her already multifaceted supporting characters from previous works. Cora Reilly is consistently brilliant with her stories as she elevates her antiheroes and finds new ways to give them heroic attributes within the scope of their darkness. Her heroines are not pushovers and are as clever and they are genuine. This writer has created a universe of harsh brutality tempered with glimmers of humanity that pulls her readers in and leaves them constantly on edge and thirsting for more. Cora Reilly's Twisted Cravings came with the expected cuts and bruises this author liberally doles out in her work and like her previous stories in this series it was worth every bit of pain! *I was given an advanced copy. All opinions expressed are my own. * *While part of a series this book can be read as a stand alone.*

Twisted Cravings is book 6 in the highly addictive Camorra Chronicles series from the amazingly talented Cora Reilly. I'm a sucker for her Mafia world and been waiting for Adamo Falcone's story for a long time. I've always adored the youngest Falcone brother who was the most empathic, sweet and docile one of his family. I somehow believed that his story is probably going to be the most romantic one in the series. But I couldn't have been more wrong! There was less romance and a lot of violence in Twisted Cravings. All readers who have complained that Cora's former books have been too sweet or fluffy will now be delighted, because this story is filled with action, angst and bloodshed and is most definitely not for the faint of the heart. It deals with some very sensitive topics like drug abuse, as well as extreme violence and torture. Adamo Falcone and Dinara Mikhailov were a great match in many ways. Even though they came from two different Mafia families who weren't at good terms, him being the brother of the notorious capo of the Las Vegas Camorra, and her the Bratva Princess and daughter of the Chicago Pakhan, they shared a common love for speed and car racing. But that wasn't the only thing they had in common. Both were familiar with dark cravings and demons, that shaped them into the people they are today. I loved their undeniable chemistry as much as their deep emotional connection. They understood and challenged each other like nobody else! After leaving the Camorra and spending some time with the New York Famiglia, Adamo is back at home and running the illegal car racing business of his family. The good hearted, sweet and compassionate boy who resented violence and wanted to be different from his brothers has grown into a young, cocky and handsome man who's very protective of the people he loves and would do anything for them. Even give into his dark side more and more every day, unleashing a violence inside of him that resembles the one of his brother Remo. Dinara was a very complex and fascinating character. Behind her tough, confident exterior was an independent but deeply troubled, young woman who hasn't made peace with her past. Her back story shocked me to the core. I knew that there was a reason why she was in Las Vegas and looking for answers. I never expected how brokenhearted and angry I would be once she's found them. All in all, Twisted Cravings was a very enjoyable and fast paced read and a worthy addition to the amazing Camorra Chronicles series. I encourage everyone to give this book a chance and let the unquestioned queen of Mafia romance take you on a journey you won't be able to forget. Now I'm very sad to say goodbye to my beloved Falcone clan! They all will forever and always have a very special place in my heart.

For crying out loud! I have read these books in order - Luca’s book was one of the worst for edits but this one is giving it a run for it’s money. These books aren’t cheap, especially in Canada and yet the author has served them up in such a disrespectful and sloppy manner and I’m fed up. It’s become obvious that these books are translated to English as there are missing words, wrong words, wrong pronouns, wrong tenses and wrong words altogether - punctuation is either non-existent or a joke! It doesn’t take more than a grade school education to find and fix these mistakes yet they are in all of these books - so I am asking the author to PLEASE EDIT AND UPDATE. This is a complicated and compelling read. I have enjoyed the world the author created first in the Born in Blood series and now in the Camorra series BUT the entire library has been one of the poorest reading experiences due to the sloppy shape some all of the books are in. The author has obviously translated to English without having an English speaking proofer or editor. I proofed all the books TWICE and left the edits on goodread’s and sent through kindle and she just ignores and does nothing to fix her work. It’s like buying a new tv and finding it broken but the store won’t replace it. It’s beyond frustrating for me especially since I took the time, hours upon hours, as there are hundreds of edits throughout and the author can’t even upgrade. I wish I hated the story so I didn’t have to suffer the nonsense! The price of the books isn’t cheap and being constantly interrupted by wrong words, wrong tenses, missing words, periods in the middle of a sentence, sentences dropped and not finished, bad grammar, etc made me loose any respect I may have had for this author’s work, it’s especially disappointing when the story itself was terrific. Ive never had the displeasure of reading an author’s work that is in such deplorable shape! To the author I would say: “it shows a great lack of respect for your English readers and for your own work to present it to your readers in a sloppy - first draft state. Editing is part of being an author as you well know and not a step to be missed. If you translate to another language and sell to readers for a good price they have a right to expect it has been properly and sufficiently edited/proofed in the language you are selling it in!” Completely unacceptable Cora!

Twisted Cravings in the sixth book in The Camorra Chronicles series by Cora Reilly. This is the last book in the series and it is honestly so bittersweet to have read this book. This was such a wild family and they have grown so much since the beginning. Dinara Mikhailov is the daughter of the Pakhan in the Bratva in Chicago. She is sassy, fierce, strong, confident, resilient, and determined. She has a passion for racing, but before that she has a mission that she needs to accomplished. Adamo Falcone has grown up since we have last seen him. He is matured and is following his own path; finding his place in the racing aspect of their Camorra business. He lives by his own rules and he lives on the road just like he likes it. Finally accepting his role in the Falcone family. Dinara and Adamo was the perfect blend for me. They both had demons they were trying to conquer. This was two tortured souls that found comfort and love in each other. This was intense and emotional. This was a journey to retribution. This was redemption. This was violence. This was facing your demons. This was raw. The character development of this book was amazing. We first saw Adamo from previous books as a kid and he kept growing more and more. I feel that Cora brought the complexity of his character alive. I found it refreshing to have such a different heroine in a mafia book in comparison to the other girls in the series. I feel that they were such a great match from the beginning to the end. This was one of my highly anticipated book of the year and I am so sad that this was the last book of the series! As always, catching scenes with all the family members are always such a joy. I absolutely love seeing all of the family members together. This really threw me in a roller coaster of emotions. I felt the emotions deep in my heart. The only thing I wished to see in Adamo's book was his time in New York and possibly him having more talk about his journey, his thoughts, and any conversations he may had about the time he was tortured by the Outfit. Cora, thank you for much for this amazing series. I absolutely cannot wait for the next thing you will blow my mind with. I received a free copy of this book from Cora Reilly and am voluntarily leaving a review.

For the last months I have postponed reading this book because I wasn’t ready to finish this amazing series. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. But today I finally ceded to the temptation and started reading. I promised myself that I was going to take it easy, read one chapter or two at the most, but all promises went out the window once I started reading. I could not put the book down and neither wanted to put it down. Once I started reading I was a complete goner. I know that no amount of words would do justice to this series, as well as all of Cora’s work, but believe me when I say this: drop everything you are doing right now, and grab The Camorra Chronicles series, because is so WORTH IT! Powerful, sexy, and written like a dream, Twisted Cravings is the kind of book you wish you could read forever and ever. This story was everything I expected, if not even more. It was a bit darker than the other books in this series, but for me I think it was the perfect decision. It is a book full of raw emotions, steamy moments and the perfect amount of angst. Adamo, the Camorra prince, is all grown up now, the baby Falcone is no longer a baby. I loved seeing him so mature and grown up, owning his past and his name. Dinara, my beautiful and strong Bratva princess. “𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔, 𝑬𝒌𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒂.” I loved her character so much, she is so strong, stubborn, has an amazing personality and it is almost impossible not to love her. The chemistry between these two was undeniable from the very first moment they laid eyes upon each other. They complete one another and are the perfect, twisted, with a lot of skeletons in the closet, match. The entire book was a roller coaster of emotions that in the end left me wanting for more, and I am so excited for what is next. And the kids, my heart they have grown so much. I can’t wait for their stories, am I so excited and counting the days until I can get my hands on those books. These books have such a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to read more of Cora’s wonderful work.

Twisted Cravings is my first read my Cora Reilly. This book is part of an interconnected series, but reads as a stand-alone. Cora gives enough background information that it wasn’t hard to follow along. However, after reading Twisted Cravings I am interested in starting at the beginning and getting to know this family. I need to know all their twisty stories. This is a dark, gritty and in your face read. If you have triggers, go into this book with your eyes wide open. Dinara (Ekaterina, Katinka) Mikhailov, Bratva royalty, is looking for answers and closure. She joins the racing circuit run by Adamo Falcone because his brother, Remo, holds the key to all her dark parts. Adamo is immediately intrigued by Dinara’s presence. He knows she must have a plan that includes more than the want to participate in his races. Adamo doesn’t mix business with pleasure, but his desire for Dinara is too strong to deny. Dinara knows the connection between them is dangerous, but everyday together chips away at the barriers each has surrounding them. Adamo seeks answers from his brother’s about Dinara’s secrets. The truth with set them on a revenge path that will begin to release all the pain Dinara has bottled up over the years. This path also brings them closer together and wanting more. Once Dinara’s demons are laid to rest, they will still have a fight on their hands, but this time it’s for their freedom to be together. Adamo and Dinara are not involved in the day to day mafia business that surrounds their families. This story is centered on Dinara’s past and the connection Adamo’s family has to it. It is a heartbreaking tale. But, it is also about healing. The path to get there is filled with tragedy, unspeakable horrors, blood, and death.

WARNING: SPOILERS AND RANTING AHEAD Even before reading this book, I was worried how this was going to go, because Adamo's character had morphed from a confused teenager in TE and TB, trying to understand the world he was living in, to a pretty unlikable douche in TH. He seemed to be completely ungrateful for everything his brothers had given him... which was literally everything they could. This included protection up to the point of Remo exchanging himself for Adamo to be brutally tortured and killed. I really thought that that experience was going to trigger Adamo into morphing into a badass mafia dude who would tear the world apart if needed for his family. Instead we got continued reluctance to work for his family because he is so much more pure than they were, constant internal and external complaints about Remo and even physically distancing himself from them. He claims over and over again that he is loyal to them, but I don't buy it. There is literally never a scene where Adamo demonstrates this loyalty. His default position on pretty much everything is to fight with the people to whom he he claims loyalty. In basically every scene he is with his family, he is in a hurry to leave. In addition to this, we get no back story on what happened during his time in New York, how he developed from a kid into a man worthy of being high in rank in the Camorra or how he even got Remo to let him take on the job he does. I'm not done with Adamo yet. WHY THE HELL DID WE HAVE THAT WHOLE SCENE WITH CJ?!!!!! Adamo and CJ's relationship should have ended before this book began. At the very least their sexual relationship should have been a thing of the past. Instead he still sees her. In previous books, she had become a confident of his, so if they had maintained a friendship of sorts, I guess that would make sense. When other men in this series see prostitutes, it is very much not an emotional thing. With Adamo it was, and that will never be a good fit in a romance novel. Not only that, but the hottest sex scene in this book was between Adamo and CJ, not Adamo and Dinara. Finally, Adamo is supposed to be a better guy than his brothers, but after a 10 year friendship with CJ, he tells her he's unsure if they can still be friends. Not only is he a piece of crap brother, he's piece of crap friend. I would like to say Dinara makes up for Adamo's deficits, but that would be a lie beyond what I am capable. She is extremely unlikable. In the first chapter she actually says "I'm not like other girls" to Adamo. Honey, this may come as a shock to you, but there is a whole plethora of other girls out there and you are like some of them. You are not the only non-traditional female out there. The tone of this comment also reads as if there is something wrong with other girls. A better answer to Adamo's comment would have been " then you haven't met the right girls, yet". Right there, any sane reader should just close the book. I, however, am a glutton for punishment who wanted to see this series to the end so I kept reading. Dinara has a tragic past. There was a lot that could have been done with it. Instead of a true story of growth though, we get an abbreviated version of her and Adamo hunting down and killing those who abused her. We are treated to countless comments about her being strong and the hero in her own story, even as she relies on Adamo to help her seek revenge. First of all, the more anyone states they are strong, the weaker they tend to look. So this Dinara being strong thing was told a lot but not really shown at all. Second of all, she relied on Adamo to help her get her revenge. Thus, she wasn't really the hero here, he was the one who made that happen for her. Then after Adamo goes to her father and risks his life to bring him on board with them trying to make a relationship work it is Dinara's turn to win over Adamo's family. First let's start with the fact that Dinara had an absolutely ridiculous overreaction to Adamo's suggestion she might want to talk to Kiara about coping with her past. At this point, Dinara had years of therapy, and the opportunity to personally seek revenge on those who hurt her. She was still struggling with the past. That's understandable. It was perfectly reasonable for Adamo to suggest she may want to talk to Kiara who had been through something similar and was now living a happy life. It would also be reasonable for Dinara to say "no thank you, I don't feel like that's for me" in response. It is UNreasonable to get so angry over the mere suggestion, because their experiences were not the exact same. Then she pretty much mentally denigrates Kiara for building a happy, traditional, marital life. Worse, is what happens when she meets Kiara. When the man you love takes you home for Christmas to meet his family, your job is to try and be as likable as possible. Even if you are uncomfortable you're trying to build bridges with the people who love the same person you do. Dinara took a hard pass on that, and it was up to the Falcones to keep things nice. Kiara, who is basically the matriarch of the family and who has long been close to Adamo, should have been Dinara's number one target for charming. Instead, when Kiara greets her warmly and gives Dinara a hug (showing complete acceptance to this girl who most of the family is still wary of) Dinara chooses not to return the gesture and makes it weird and awkward. Don't worry, though, KIARA smoothes the moment over. Five years later they have a wedding that even though it's in the same city as his family, none are invited to attend. 15 years later they are still living like nomads and basically in some sort of state of arrested development. They have literally in 15 years changed very little about the way they live and act. Normal people change a lot in 15 years. Not these two. They have a child, whom sounds like was unplanned, but instead of working on some sort of stable home life for his sake, they are just going to keep moving around from camp to camp. Adamo and Dinara are basically a couple of rich kids who got hooked on drugs as teenagers and rebelled against the families who provided them with everything. Including: love, acceptance and the lifestyle of their choosing. They are ungrateful brats to these families. Dinara, at least comes across as very loyal to her father. Adamo says he is loyal, but never in any book demonstrates said loyalty. ***The only redeeming factor in this book are the scenes with the other Falcones. Remo is amazing and will steal your heart all over again. The only truly emotionally gripping scene is a flashback and it is Remo who is the dominant figure. That says all you need to know about this book.

Twisted Cravings focuses on the youngest Falcone brother Adamo. If you have read the previous books in this series then you have seen him grow up and go through a lot. I was looking forward to his story, and I was pleasantly surprised with the premise. The setting was original and created a great atmosphere. In a lot of mafia romances the heroine is a bit meek and innocent, which I enjoy from time to time, but I also find it refreshing when the woman is independent and strong. Dinara Mikhailov was a great character and I loved her right away. She wasn't afraid to go toe to toe with Adamo and gave back as much as she received. I thought they were a great match and I loved the progression of their relationship. They both have demons that haunt them, but together they were able to fight those. Especially Dinara went through some heartbreaking and horrific things in the past. Twisted Cravings is the last book in the chronicles if I am not mistaken, and it's bittersweet because I hate saying goodbye to characters I have spent time with. All the characters in this series were unique in their own way, and I loved that they always had each others' backs. It wasn't always an easy journey, in fact it was mostly a difficult road they all had to take. But in the end it all came together and I enjoyed reading the parts where the whole family was together. I really hope the kids of all the main characters in this series will get their own book, because I am not ready to say goodbye to them. I enjoyed Adamo and Dinara's story a lot and the writing was great like always. I don't read that many Mafia romances as I did before, but I can't resist Cora Reilly's books. I look forward to seeing what she will come up with next.

I think I'm this strange kind of a reader as I cn;t read a series in order like I read Twisted Loyalties, and now I decided to give in for Twisted Cravings! I was afraid I would feel lost and out of place in book 6, but Ms. Reilly did a wonderful job here! And I got one great journey with Adamo and Dinara! When I first met Adamo in this series he was just a boy, and he was taking after Remo in so many ways! Now he's grown up and I would have never anticipated for me to like or even love a boy that I read about he was just a kid! I was afraid he would not be able to find his way when this city was ruled by his brothers, but... he managed to find his niche! Racing outside of Las Vegas and finding his pleasure in it was his destiny. Then one day a woman shows up! And what if she will be a game-changer for their both lives. Can he accept what was growing inside him all this time? Our main heroine is Dinara, she was a secret to me, I expected something BIG, I knew I was in the alley to get that. She is something that I was not ready for as her past was revealed and I got devoured by the darkness and I let it swallow me, as this was the right thing to do. Dinara is strong, has her passion, and she for sure is a force to be reckoned with! A perfect match to Adamo! I won't say more, as I hope you will give those two a chance and this daughter of Bratva will be given a chance to win your heart! Be ready for a dark read full of twists nd situations that would trigger some readers, but it will make you love those characters even more! I wish there would be more blocks in this series as I'm really enjoying those! Adamo showed in this book perfectly that he's a Falcone in this story -lethal and fierce!

“I have danced with the devil before. I know what it does.” Magnificent!!! I’ve been waiting to read about Adamo’s book for a really long time, I craved the moment Cora Reilly write the Falcone younger brother’s story, and I have to say that I am beyond astounded with it. This book consumed me, and I devoured it in one day. The difference between the Falcone brothers is just perfect, we still see the roots of what truly holds them together, and Cora created the perfect match for every single one of them. Adamo Falcone; as the younger brother of the Falcone’s, his last name has a reputation. There’s a reason they are feared, but his past has made him take a different path than his older brothers and as one of the best racers in Vegas he’s finally found his place among The Camorra. But one look at her, the girl with fire in her eyes and he needed to know more, but only to come face to face with his own demons. Dinara Mikhailov, is the Bratva princess of Chicago. She knows that entering the enemy’s territory is a risky move, but she needs answers, she needs to get them before her own demons control her and end her. Getting close to Adamo was risky and she never saw it coming…the Camorra prince is far from a prince but if their pasts collide…it can tear them or build them…the only question is if they are strong enough to face them alone. Dinara and Adamo’s story just became my favorite book by Cora Reilly, their story is not your typical mafia romance, this is not about a war between Capos, but the struggle of a past and the fight for the future.

My craving has been fulfilled. My thirst quencher. Adamo has given me exactly what I wanted. Let’s just get into it. Dinara is the bratva princess of Chicago. Her father will destroy anyone who even looks at her the wrong way. Nothing will ever touch his princess. Well again. Dinara has a troubled past and all she wants is answers. Only person in her way is her father. He thinks sheltering her is the answer. However, the Camorra has other ideas. Adamo Falcone is the baby of the family. He’s had his rebellious past but he has accepted his fate and decided maybe he can have his cake and eat it too. He now runs the illegal street races for his family. This man has always had a need for speed. When a new driver shows up his interests are piqued. When her true identity is revealed things, the Princess is out of her territory, things get a lot more serious. Especially when the enemy is asking for Camorra help. Good thing Remo is always ten steps ahead and with Remo 2.0 it’s about to get crazy. Let me just say I LOVE THE CAMORRA. Yes they are my favorite and no you can’t change my mind. CAMORRA FOR LIFE. I’ve waiting for Adamo. I needed his story. Heck I just needed more Falcones. Adamo isn’t Remo or Nino but this man sucked me in. We also got a little interaction with the kids and I love that. Always great to see The Trio and their two princesses. Now I’m ready for the next generation. Nevios story is going to be epic. Don’t get me started on how excited I am for Greta. Remo is a lunatic. No one is touching his baby girl. Aghhhhh I can’t wait. Hold yourselves over with Adamo. He was great and got the job done very well. Twisted Cravings definitely delivered.

10 AMAZING ENJOYABLE REMARKABLE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Twisted Cravings is hands down the best book in the entire series. You can't imagine how hard Adamo & Dinara serve the entire story. Like OMG?! THEY'RE LITERALLY THE BEST OF THE BEST! Cora Reilly has seriously outdone herself in this book because this book is a hundred times better than what I have ever expected and hoped for in Adamo's book. Let me tell ya that Adamo & Dinara have officially become my all-time favourite characters. I can't even describe how much I love these two. Adamo!! My soft baby boy. Ahhhh I love him so much. He's still the same Adamo that we loved but of course, he becomes more mature than before. After reading this book, he sets the bar so high for ideal boyfriend. Like gurl, this man is just too good to be true. Also, my heart couldn't stop melting at how deeply Adamo cares for Dinara. He's willing to do anything just to be with her. Whereas for Dinara. My gurl Dinara is literally the coolest chick out there. I couldn't find anyone sexier than her. She's such a strong sassy character who knows what she wants. She loves to have control in her life. She could even be more dominant than Adamo if she wants to 🤣🤣🤣 However, her past makes me pity her so hard. My heart couldn't stop breaking for her but I really do admire the way she was still able to stand strong and try to overcome the issue. Furthermore, AdamoDinara is literally the best couple in the entire series. They're literally a match made in heaven. Their chemistry is no joke and you can't even imagine the deep connection that these two shared with each other. Moreover, the sexual tension between Adamo & Dinara is extremely high and explosive. The way they care for one another is EVERYTHING! I seriously think that they're the most badass couple in the entire series because of the length that they're willing to go through for the sake of each other. On the site note, we get to meet our beloved Falcones! I'm actually very satisfied that this book only centers around the Falcones. We get to see some of their interactions that made me go extremely soft. Of course, Remo owning the book makes the book so much better! Gosh, I can't stop simping over them. Overall, this book is the definition of the word perfection. It was amazingly enjoyable, dark, twisted, suspenseful, thrilling, angsty, and romantic. Cora Reilly has done an excellent job in delivering this story because everything was perfectly written and well developed. I LOVED EACH AND EVERY SECOND OF THE BOOK. This book seriously got me on the edge of my seat as I couldn't stop turning the pages just to know what's going to happen next. But, among all of these things, I'm extremely glad of the ending that Cora provided for Adamo & Dinara. Like, it was pretty bittersweet but Adamo finally got what he has always yearned for since Twisted Loyalties. We can clearly see that Dinara has always been the key to his happiness 😭❤❤❤

As the youngest Falcone raised by his ruthless brothers with little affection and nurturing, the teenage Adamo was petulant, conflicted and a bit of a misfit. I've been waiting for this story since the beginning. In his own book Adamo embraces his inner savage and metamorphosed from a lost and troubled soul into the true Falcone man that he is. At times it was hard for me to reconcile the young teen that I remembered him as, to the man he is in this book. But like a proud mama, I love the man that he grew up to become. This story plays out a bit like a movie in my head with the great plains of the Midwest and illegal car racing as its backdrop. It is here where Adamo finds his girl or perhaps she finds him and once they do this show is off and running! The story has bohemian vibes, lust, revenge, retribution and redemption. There are some heartbreaking elements though. This one is probably darker than most in Cora's Mafia series. Trigger warnings should be heeded. Initially I wasn't so sure about his pairing with a Bratva princess but Dinara is no princess. She is edgy, unconventional, resilient and flawed. They both harbor dark demons within, but together they help bring each other into the light. As a teenager, Adamo's sensitive nature was misunderstood, but that sensitivity now makes him a better man and sets him apart from his brothers. It is also the trait which strengthens his bond to Dinara. He's the support that she never knew she needed to free herself from her demons. I loved seeing a bit of the whole Falcone clan again. It is not nearly enough for me, but we get enough of the children to be baited for the next gen series. And Remo continues to prove why he is the king of all the Capos. For as emotionally heavy as this book is, it left me feeling the color and the light in their love story. Dinara is such a lovely character added to the mix of this beautiful and unforgettable family. Great close to the series! 4.5 stars

Twisted Cravings is the end, the closing title to the Camorra Chronicles, 'cries in Falcone lingo'. Here we have Adamo Falcone's story, I was definitely looking forward to this book, because you know, anything that has Falcones in it, I'm innnn, nonetheless, throughout the Camorra Chronicles Adamo was the one that I wasn't so attached to, of course I loved him, I love all my babies. Adamo surprised me sooooo good in TC, we get to understand all his struggles, everything he's beens through and how strong he grew because of it. He talked about his addiction, which I think was so good to get a light in it. He's so strong, and boyyyy he's not a sulking kid anymore LEMME TELL YOU THAT, I mean there were moments I needed to pause cause our little Adamo wasn't so little anymore, if you know what I mean. How can he be so hotttt????? Thats plain mean Cora, cause I can't have him and he's so hotttt I could make a tea out of that body! I need to stop talking about how hot he is or I'll start drooling LOL. Let's talk Dinara, if you're into strong heroine, take no shit, speaks her mind, and has been through hell and back, this is the book for you. I definitely did not expect Dinara, att all! She's hands down the strongest heroine Cora has written this far, and her past??? It brought tears to my eyes, I can't imagine being through what she's gone through and come out of it strong as she did, she slayed her demons, she walked over them, spit in their faces and showed them to fear HER, she's downright amazing. And also she's a badass driver AND the Bratva princess. Could this book BE anymore amazing? Now then we put Adamo and Dinara together and BOOOOOM, explosion, chemistry, hot sauce, to hot to handle, so cute, so amazing, so EVERYTHINGGGGG. I can't even put into words what this. couple means to me, they're everything I never knew I needed. And they were the best ending everrr to the Camorra Chronicles. I can't put into words how much I love this book, I can't wait to buy the paperback and devour it again. This is definitely a MUST READ. Thank you Cora for making another masterpiece, and for giving the best ending possible to this saga <3

Twisted Craving was the perfect ending to the ground breaking Camorra Chronicles series. This series began with Fabiano’s story of how an outsider made his home with the Falcones. The series ends with a Adamo Falcone who’s struggles made him an outsider and now he finds his way back home. From the beginning the Camorra Chronicles was set apart from anything Cora Reilly previously wrote. It was darker, sexier, and really exposed the harsh reality of mafia life. Twisted Cravings is the culmination of all of these themes. A true dark romance! Adamo Falcone is no longer the lost boy who was riddled with demons and consumed with self righteous judgement, as we previously saw throughout the series. Instead he is man that not only embraced his demons, but uses them to bring justice for Dinara. He is finally a Falcone. Dinara Mikhailov is truly a force to be reckoned with. A Bratva princess that is pure fire and wit. From her kick ass clothing to her impressive driving skills. She cements herself as a new type of heroine from Cora Reilly. This story is not Adamo fighting his enemies, while his girl sits on the sidelines waiting. These two embark on their quest for justice together. They both will be left covered in blood! The plot in Twisted Cravings is so unique. The atmosphere and the environment of the racing circuit is so far removed from the glamour and lavish lifestyle of Las Vegas. It truly sets apart the difference of Adamo and Dinara’s personality and relationship from the rest of the series. We do get glimpses of the all the prior couples and the kids. Setting the perfect lead up to the new series.

AHHHH!! Anyone that knows me will tell you I am OBSESSED with Cora Reilly's Camorra series. It started with Remo Falcone and the obsession never ended for his brothers. For that reason when I saw that Adamo was finally getting his book I could not be more excited!! This story was filled to the brim with amazing banter, chemistry and a fiery connection that could not be denied. Dinara and Adamo were the most incredible match. I loved them so much together! Adamo was so uber sexy. His growth throughout the series was nothing short of tremendous. Reilly did an amazing job highlighting who Adamo was inside and how he fit in with his brothers and the Camorra. He has always been different from his brothers and it was showcased beautifully in this story with the racing. Likewise Dinara was strength personified. There was an undeniable core of steel in her despite the darkness she has lived in. Furthermore, I loved that she gave as good as she got in the male dominated world she grew up in. Overall, Reilly did an amazing job crafting another Camorra story. Dinara and Adamo were perfect for one another and the darkness within them. I loved every word. 5 stars! ~Ratula

This wasn't what we where expecting however I can't say that I was disappointed per se, not completely. I loved many things. looooooved that Adamo was not a manho- so so so much. and really liked him. and can I say that I loved Dinara, yup loved her and loved how strong this chick was, am totally a fan girl. So as I was saying the story line took a different twist than I was expecting which I wont be telling you about so that you can read for yourself however if you have been reading the series you know that he Adamo liked racing so you can expect that and yes he continues to do so. I do miss the brothers yes they make a cameo but that is where I was a little disappointed because I was wishing for more interaction with them and there family and anytime I dont have my Luca and my new york clan I am sorry but I feel like a part of me is just missing (boo Hoo for me I know it) so yeah that is just where i was like what?!?!, where are my people. But Adamo has always beat to his own drum and that has not changed. rcvd an ARC at no cost to author....voluntarily reviewed with my own thoughts and opinions.

Man, I love this series. I have been eagerly awaiting Adamo's story. There is something special about these brothers. Adamo was everything that I wanted and more. The author created a new world within her fictional Las Vegas world that I found myself getting lost in. Not an easy feat to create a totally new place within the foundation of another story, but she not only did it she excelled at it. Life on the track was reminiscent of a gypsy caravan in a way and I liked that Adamo was able to find a place within the family that just fit him, so to speak. His love interest surprised me. However, as the story evolved, I cannot picture anyone but her with him. They both soothed each other's demons. For a girl like Dinara, this was much needed. I fell in love with her character and how she managed to merge her past with her present. Her backstory is heartbreaking. I wasn't sure how the author was going to manage to make these two opposing families come to an agreement of peace, or if they even would but she managed to weave a remarkable story. She covered some sensitive topics and handled it with grace and care. She also added a lot to the story of the Falcone family and their many interests and took this story in a new direction that was refreshing and interesting. Who knew that racing could be so enticing? Not me, that is for sure. I love this family. I am not sure what is coming next from this author but I am here for it.

Cora Reilly's Camorra series is my favorite of hers and I've enjoyed the books up until savio's and Adamo's. I was really looking forward to Adam's book after he was sent to NY in prior books and seeing how it changed him. I wasn't a fan of Adamo or the heroine. They both seemed shallow and had absolutely no depth. It was like Adamo was a completely new character. It was the worst book of this series.

I have to be honest and say that I wasn’t as excited for Adamo’s story as I was for his brothers. I had a grudge lol buuuut the book made me understand him so much more than before. I love how he wanted to be better but still had that Falcone blood in him. I enjoyed his relationship with his family. That is something I love about The Camorra... their bond. Dinara, what can I say about her without spoiling it. She is tough as nails and one of the most fearless characters and that made me so happy because I do love soft heroines but there’s something about tough girls that are sometimes soft that I love. I cannot go into much detail because you need to experience this story for yourself and go in blind. Just like I did. My babies. I’m so soft for the next gen. As much as I loved this story... my men Remo and Nino are superior beings! Thank you so much Cora for the opportunity to review. I can’t wait for what’s next. Hero: 3/5 Heroine: 5/5 Plot:5/5 Chemistry:4/5

Okay so not going to lie I wasn't a huge fan of Adamo in the previous book. I understood him but I thought he made dumb mistakes and he made me really mad. Well lets all just throw that right out the window. I am in love. I love him. Where is he? Come find me. Seriously though he is what every girl dreams of (sort of I mean he is a Falcone so he is a little nuts) but that's why he is perfect for Dinara. She's a total badass but also a little crazy too. She may be the "Russian Princess" but she sure doesn't act like it. She is strong and independent but can also be vulnerable and real. The Romeo and Juliet romance is one for the ages. They show that they won't let family or loyalty get in the way of being with each other but also won't betray it. They are goals. Their journey is intense to say the least so please take caution and know that there is a lot discussed in this book that can be triggering. It is not overly graphic but still enough that you know what was implied. I loved this book. We saw the Falcone family with the kids a little older. Remo said something that made me laugh, cry, and cringe because of what Cora has planned for future books. That foreshadowing was unreal but still my heart hurt from it. 100% recommend this book and it was a great wrap up to the OG brothers finding the love of their lives!

Twisted Cravings is the last installment in the Camorra Chronicles series and ladies, it ended perfectly. Racing is Adamo’s passion. Finally finding his place between the brothers, he takes over the car racing business for Camorra following his path. One day, he meets witty Dinara and can’t stop the pull towards her even when he knows she means trouble. Adamo wasn’t my favorite Falcone but girls, he grew up. I love this version of him, sweet and matured but also twisted. So good to see him finally find his place and peace. Dinara is my highlight of the book. She’s sassy, cheeky. Cora was right when said she’s resilient because she’s strong and her character development was amazing. I don’t think we ever saw a character like her in Cora’s books. “Fake it till you make it. I could do that for her, if this was what she needed.” The two complement each other. Both go in a journey of fall in love, discover themselves to later fight to be themselves and defeat their demons together and individually. The way they love and support each other, how they hold each other was so beautiful. Kiara says they aren’t romantic (ok, she’s right cause they make Nino sound like the most romantic yet ahahah) but they prove you don’t need the most romantic acts to make your heart ache and swoon for them. They’re two wild souls looking for freedom and peace. I love their chemistry, their banter. If you love the Camorra Chronicles and even if you fear if the author will deliver, trust me. She will. Adamo is a Falcone after all and Dinara is unique in her own way. To end this review, I confess its a bittersweet moment. Saying goodbye to these characters (the whole family) is painful but at same, I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you, Cora. Thank you for these characters, for this book. This series was a rollercoaster of emotions.

Adamo's story is one I have been anxious to read I wanted to know more about the black sheep of the family. How has he grown from the sulky teenager we met, is he still trouble or has he accepted and happy with who he is. Now I know a lot of people wanted him to be with a certain person but when you meet Dinara you will realise that she wouldn't have been a fit for him. Cora writes flawed characters so well one's that you can't help fighting for. Dinara is a mafia princess just not the conventional one you will be used to. I really enjoyed the racing aspect of the story the fact that she is also a racer made it even better. Fearless determined and focused but seeing Adamo dig beneath the surface and reveal that lost broken woman brought me joy. I know that sounds strange but it will make sense when you read it. I love the wildness of their love story, it is dirty raw dark just as much as it is sensual and passionate. Adamo has that darkness I expected but when he fell he became the man who would do anything for the woman he loves but can they appease their families. At times parts of this are difficult to read but this story is a journey of healing as much as it is a love story.

I love Cora ' writing and this is another well written book by her. Adamo and Dinaras story is very different than the rest of the Falcone clan which was really refreshing. That being said I had a hard time connecting with Adamo and Dinara. They both come from a painful past but for me Dinara shined with her strength in this book with everything that happened to her. And I loved that she was strong enough to take things into her own hands. Adamo has finally found his path and happiness in racing and now Dinara. Their instant connection is off the charts and I loved how he didn't coddle Dinara but also was her partner in what and how she needed things, he didn't stand in front of her taking control but by her side. Remo is my all time favorite Falcone brother and I adore Nino so seeing them in this book took my love for them to a whole new level. You see a different side to Remo and to see how he interacts with Dinara and treats her was one of my favorite parts.

Twisted Cravings, Adamo and Dinara definitely suprised me. I cannot lie, I was waiting since the first book in Camorra Chronicles for Adamo's story. This ride with Camorra Men was different that I expected. Adamo was always living in his own world, he wasn't like his brothers. I was waiting to find out how these differences will impact in his adult life. Twistes Cravings was definitely raw intense, but less romantic journey from the beginning. Adamo wasn't only a boy, that I remembered. He knew exactly what he wanted from life, what made Dinara a rival perfect for him. I enjoyed the most in the book, when she was leading me into dark secrets in her life. It was heartbreaking, but helped me to understand, why she is like she is, and WHY this author choose this kind of a woman for Adamo. I liked their relationship, but I would like to see them more as a love couple, not only young man and his womam who are seeking for a revenge.

I started reading this on Monday, it's Thursday and I just made over 50%. I'm really having a hard time with this one. I didn't care for her last two books but I at least pushed through them. Cora Reilly use to be my favorite author, but I am sad to say I think I'll have to let her go. Her writing just hasn't been the same and what made her my favorite author just isn't there anymore. I think I would rather keep what I made up in my imagination about these characters from previous books than have them totally ruined for me. Bye Cora, best wishes.

Adamo Falcone is the youngest member of the Falcone family and all his life he's been immersed in violence. Following his brothers' footsteps he becomes a made man, but only in illegal street racing can he experience the thrill he hungers for. Dinara Mikhailov is a Bratva princess and the only female driver. Racing allows her to be her true self and feel alive. It will also bring her close to Adamo, the man who can help her learn the truth about her past. They both hide their devastation from the world by chasing highs, but their dark cravings cannot be easily satiated. And being together can be the greatest danger of all. Twisted Cravings is a profound and heartfelt tale of betrayal, revenge and redemption! Adamo and Dinara always felt at odds with the world they've been born in. They have experienced tragic and mind-numbing situations and only by confronting the past can they forge their own path.

When I heard Adamo was getting his own book I was beyond excited! He’s definitely a brother I was really intrigued by and wanted to see his POV as an adult and growing up with the Camorra. This book showed us an adult Adamo which had some character growth. We get to see his POV on Camorra life, his opinions on how things are run, and his relationship with his brothers. We get insight on his love of race car driving and his trauma from his past. We also get introduced to our first ever Russian Bravata character! Dinara is definitely a different type of love interest from our previous female characters. She is outspoken and not very sheltered. I think she contrasted well with Adamo. I felt like we got to understand Adamo more and see a different side of the brothers. I enjoyed Twisted Cravings but it was a little insta lust and some things like the *cough* CJ scene *cough* werent needed. I also wanted more on Dinara. I didn’t feel very connected with her because I didn’t know much. I also want more of Adamo with his family, because it felt a little disconnected from the previous books. Overall, I had fun reading it and can’t wait for a book with Nevio or Gretas POV! 3.75/5⭐️ *ARC Provided by author in exchange for an honest review*

As we delve deeper into the Falcone family, we get Adamo in Twisted Cravings. It has been interesting to see him grow through the previous books of this family’s series and now he has come into his own. With this book, it seems he has met his match with Dinara. These two clash and oh the sizzle that ensues! There is some epic push and pull between them even when things get crazy. They each have a haunted past but together, they seem to make it work. I adored Dinara because she wasn’t one to back down. She was her own person and gave as good as she got. Overall, this was a great addition to the family. You are taken on a crazy ride that doesn’t just involve these two but characters from the past novels in this series. It is intense, raw and passionate. It is one of those books that has to be read to fully experience it all!

Twisted Cravings was a much awaited book in the Camorra series. I liked Adamo and Dinara and how much they grew and overcame all the obstacles to keep their love. It was also different since Dinara was the daughter of a Russian Bratva and Adamo was the capo of Las Vegas...their love was forbidden...although I did wish that they could have formed an friendly pact with their alliance but it didnt happen. Read this book to find out more on what happens. The ending was good. We get to see Aurora. Maybe she will be part of racing when she grows up?? And who knows she might be paired up with one of Dinara stepbrothers. Hmmm that would be interesting. Lastly, seeing Remo again in this book was awesome. Like him and Serafina need another one of their own book...I feel like twisted pride was their start of story n even with the great ending but still their relationship needed more exploration. I hope they get to have more kids of theirs would like to see Remo as a father again he is good with nevio and greta. He is over protective of Greta cant wait to see what happens and how he will react when she will find someone of her own.

5 stars!! “Become the nightmare even your worst nightmare fears, Ekaterina,” I’ve been waiting for Adamo’s book since he was mentioned in Fabiano’s book. To watch him grow from book to book and find his way was something I loved. Where he started and how he fought to get where he is today was perfect. Adamo’s book wasn’t centered on Mafia but more character growth and I think that’s what I loved about his story. For the longest time I questioned who his heroine was going to be and once I found out who she was I was so excited!! Getting to know this his heroine was beautifully hard at times,her story is unlike the others and it triggers so many emotions. To watch Adamo’s love and protectiveness come out for her was everything. Cora Reilly always seems to write heroines who take no crap from anyone and this heroine didn’t let me down,her will to fight was something I admired given everything that she endured. The Camorra Chronicles are my favorite and Adamo has made his way into my top three favorites ♥️

Twisted Cravings...what can I say except...Dang! What a wild ride. Dinara is one kick butt, tough as nails, independent woman who has been through an ordeal. He childhood memories are overwhelming to say the least, but she is now looking for information to help free her from the past. Adamo is the youngest of the Falcone clan and he seems to be less violent. He’s thing is racing and living life. He’s loyal to his family and he will stop at nothing to protect those he cares for. When the Bratva Princess walks into his camp his world is turned upside and he never expected what was to come and neither will you...amazing read. If you’re looking for romance...this isn’t the book. If you’re looking for passion, revenge, bloodshed and so much more...then this is perfect. It’s dark and twisted but oh so good. I received a free advanced copy to read and review.

Hmm.. I really need to think about it, but so far it’s 3 stars from me. In overall it was a really good book and you can read it as a standalone, if you are here to have a look at whole Falcone clan you’ll be disappointed, I mean they are in the book but not as you hope, I think it’s more Dinara’s book than Adamo’s. And it’s really different from Previous books of Cora and I have mixed feelings about it. I missed Cora’s old touch in this book. As for the rating I even thought giving it 2 stars because of the details like Traditional Russian food, because nor Khachapuri or Borsch is Russian. Khachapuri is Georgian And Borsch is Ukrainian and when you are from the country which is occupied by Russia? You won’t like this! I would really love that authors check details before writing it. I’m sure it’s honest mistake, but I almost DNF this book because of it, It was mentioned more than once, but maybe it will play out story wise and will be explained in the Grygoris book (if it’s planned). Well, sorry for my rant other than that I think you’ll like the book.

I’m so sad for the conclusion about the original Falcone Brothers, but man, what an ending it was. I am absolutely in love with Adamo and Dinara, mainly because it’s literally the star-crossed lovers with a much better and harsher vibe (Dinara isn’t the princess everyone else thinks she is.) I think one thing I liked was that Adamo and Dinara was that they totally connected in a much different way than the other Falcone men… it was much more physical in the beginning before it turned to very dark and very deep emotions (you’ll see as you get through it.) As usual with the Falcone Brothers, we see the hints of the past haunting them, but it really brought on an interesting aspect because Dinara’s haunted past was much more connected with them than I ever realized. The growth of their relationship was the perfect length for me, and being tangled in a passionate game of secrets and revenge but also giving us glimpse of family and love was honestly the best meaning of giving readers a roller coaster of emotions. I was so sad that the story ended, and I was definitely left wanting more. It was such a beautiful conclusion and I’m so excited for the next chapter in Cora Reilly’s books!

So normally I like this author but this book just fell flat. No kidnapping no tension just love at first sight. It was very boring. Where was the kidnapping and the dark? For being a mafia book this book was bland and had no flavor. I barely remember they were in the mafia. Would not recommend

Being the youngest Adamo saw it all and it all seemed normal to him like racing cars-his true passion and where he finds his match that was perfect-Dinara! There is so much detail to Adamo & Dinara’s love hate relationship that I really don’t know where to start. Now there are dark moments that I wanted to cocoon Dinara from anymore harm but that is why she has Adamo and let me tell you that he slays her dragons. We get to see the rest of the family and that was a treat! I won’t give much more because you need to read it and experience the emotions just like I did. There is so much detail that I felt as if I was right there next to them experiencing it. Get cozy and be prepared for a wild ride! Kara~ 5 Stars

TWISTED CRAVINGS is the 6th book in The Camorra Chronicles series by Cora Reilly. This is Adamo and Dinara's story. There's is a love/hate relationship. She's a mafia princess who loves race cars and racing while he's the youngest in his mafia family and he races cars. He handles the illegal street cars racing in his mafia family while trying to do what he loves- racing. These two clash and have such an intense chemistry. Theirs is an angsty, savage, sizzling, intense, twisted, steamy, dark romance that keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. I enjoyed the ending and really hope there's going to be more in this series or at least a spin-off from this series. My Rating: 4.5 stars *********

This book gutted me in ways I never expected! I was working so hard towards figuring things out that when they became known, I wanted to fly into the murderous rage that Adamo clearly felt. Then, to watch Dinara and Adamo grow closer as they worked through things, and tried to figure out how everything would work, I was glued to the pages. This story started off as interesting, because I wanted to know about the characters, then it went straight to dynamic, as things exploded and were worked on and through. The calm didn’t follow though, because the looming issues still existed. How everything managed to work out, and for Adamo to get that HEA with his perfect match, that was worth all the heartache, heartbreak, and pain it took for both of these characters to get there <3

Easy to read story, but a bit boring for me. I'm positive I've read a Cora Reilly book before and not had this outcome. I couldn't connect with the characters and honestly forced myself to finish. The premise was interesting but something with the characters gave me pause. I won't go into detail on the book, plenty have done so on here. I always say you should read a book for yourself so you can judge it on your own. You might really love it!

So honestly, this felt more like a stand-alone with little cameos from Remo/Nino/Savio and their wives than it felt like a part Of the Camorra collection. I really loved Nino and Remo’s books. I very much disliked Savio’s book. And while I liked Adamo’s and I liked Dinara, parts of the book felt long and drawn out. It was good to have both characters find themselves, but I missed the family aspect like we had in previous books...we got only a small bit of it. With Adamo so much younger than Remo and Nino, it just felt very different. Overall, it was a decent read. I’m glad that we could close out the Camorra loop. But the earlier books with the older brothers will always be my favorite.

There is so much more to Adamo than what we knew about him from the previous books in the series. He has seemed to have found his place both in his family and the role he wants to play in the family business. He is pursuing his need for speed by handling the racing which is how Dinara comes into his life. Dinara was raised in the Bratva and her skills when it comes to racing precede her. She has an agenda of her own which includes ensuring the people who caused her so much pain are held responsible in the most lethal way possible. The chemistry between them is undeniable but they both have demons to face which take us on dark and gritty journey that proves that even though they may be imperfect they are perfect for each other.

This is the 6th and final story in this series and is Adamo and Dinara’s journey. Adamo is the youngest of the Falcone brothers, and he was always destined to become a made man just like his brothers, which Dinara is a strong, sassy, and independent, and is the only female race drivers in a male dominated world, as well as being a Russian bratva princess. These two compliments each other perfectly, as they try to find peace from their pasts. This is a good story which has complex characters, and is a dark, raw, gritty, thrilling, and filled with twists and emotions. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I recommend for all.

It was interesting to see this side of Adamo. In all the previous books he's young and almost reserved. I think this maybe one of Cora's darkest mafia story's yet. I like Dinara's character, she was fierce and from the most part had it together. Especially with all of her history. Adamo is now in charge of street racing circuit, it's his pride and joy. So when two strangers join the race he's more in intrigued as to why. Dinara is out for answers and knows there's only one place to get them. Are you ready to meet the youngest Falcone and his crazy Russian!!! Adamo and Dinara were good for one another (in a crazy kind of way). I enjoyed getting to see all the other Falcone clan as well.

Well, I want to say I wasn’t expecting to love this book as much as I did even tho Adamo was in my top 2 of favorite Falcone brother right after Nino but now he is my FAVORITE Falcone🥰😫 and my expectations were low because I am an Outfit fan and thought this was going to test my loyalty to Outfif🥺 but I was highly surprised because Adamo was the most supportive, amazing, sweet, hot partner anyone could ask for and my girl Dinara is my second favorite heroine of Cora’s world right after my love Valentina. The story was nothing like the history I was creating in my mind, Dinara is an strong Bratva princess who has had an awful past and now is looking for answers/vengance and Adamo is nothing like the boy we’ve met in previous books, he is all manly now🤤 I honestly love that this book was really centered in Adamo/Dinara and yeah it had some family moments but mostly is them and I LOVED IT😍 their relationship was GOALS and became my favorite Camorra couple just because they were completely different than everyone and because they chose how to live their life🥰 I really really recommend it!

Once again Cora Reilly has killed it with the mafia genre. I have fallen prey to her exceptional writing and characters that she creates. I have patiently been waiting for Adamo’s book and I can easily say that it did not disappoint. I absolutely loved Dinara for Adamo. He needed someone strong and fiery to fit his personality to the tee. The comedy and heart wrenching moments took me on a rollercoaster and I loved every second of. These characters will always hold a special place in my heart!

This is another great Camorra book! Adamo’s story does not disappoint. Two worlds collide when old ghosts come calling. Adamo loves his nomad life on the underground racing circuit. Dinara knows this is the perfect opportunity to get close to Adamo. When ghosts continue to haunt Dinara, she turns to The Camorra for answers. The story has real world issues, with only an ending The Camorra can help with. I loved the characters and the learning they did from each other. I liked reading about the youngest Falcone brother and how he grew and found a life inside The Camorra.

Twisted Cravings is such a great addition to The Camorra Chronicles. First I just want to say that Cora Reilly is the queen of mafia romance. Her writing is just so good and steam is always out of this world. Twisted Cravings revolves around the youngest Falcone brother, Adamo and his love interest Dinara a Bratva princess. Adama has separated himself from day to day business of The Camorra by running their street racing business. At the beginning of the race season Adamo meets Dinara and there are sparks immediately. Adama definitely feels the attraction, but Dinara has other plans for seeking him out. I just loved seeing Adamo all grown up. He turned out to be such a good man and was perfect for Dinara. The men in The Camorra Chronicles are so swoon worthy and Adamo was no different. What he is willing to do to make Dinara happy is definitely crazy, but what do you expect? It’s the mafia!

TWISTED CRAVINGS by Cora Reilly is book 6 in The Camorra Chronicles Series. This is the story of Adamo and Dinara. Dinara is a mafia princess who races cars. Adamo is the youngest of his family and has taken on the racing part of their mafia business. Adamo is taken back with Dinara fiery looks but more importantly that she is allowed to drive for his mafia family since she is from another family. They burn hot with their attraction and it kept me turning those pages to get their story. I would recommend this book for sure.

4⭐️ I enjoyed Adamo and Dinara's story. It was sexy, it was angsty and gripping. Adamo is relatable in a way that he does not really look for or want any trouble. He is just happy doing what he wants to do, the very thing that makes him happy—car racing. Dinara, I wasn't able to really relate to her except her closeness to her father. Sure, she's strong and ruthlessand I admire that but I just wasnt able to connect to her much.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love Cora's writing and I fell in love with Adamo. This was such an interesting take on a Mafia book. Have it mixed with car racing and some sizzling romance and you have a great story. I do agree with some readers that the book could have been shorter. It did drag a bit but I enjoyed the characters and the chemistry nontheless. Loved Dinara as well. Beautiful writing. I recommend it to the fans of the genre.

Like previous reviews noted the majority of the story takes place at “camp” which gets a little tedious. The subject matter is difficult and goes beyond the comfort zone of entertainment. Not enough Falcone references and little Las Vegas time. My least favorite of the series:(

Twisted cravings had everything. Death, despair, angst, speed, mafia, bratva, and a love story between a fiery redheaded Russian and an the baby brother of one of the most feared men in Las Vegas. Danira has a secret that pertains to her horrifying past. Adamo does everything he can to keep himself separate from his mafia family. When these two collide, they’re dark sides come out to play. HEA, Some triggers. A++++

Once again blown away by this author. She definitely did Adamo and Dinera's story justice. Not what I was expecting at all but definitely not disappointed!! Adamo and Dinera both have messed up history. They both had to overcome things at a young age that made them perfect for each other. This story was dark but good at the same time. These tow were made for each other and I loved that they lived a no frills, ride or die lifestyle. Great read!!!

I have a long time waiting how Cora would write his story and let me tell you that it fulfills my imagination. Love who she gives him to be his match, from the first chapter you'll see the chemistry flying and how intense it can get. The story is perfectly writ3and how everything is lay out makes it one of my favorites. Definitely a must read and a great work from Cora.

Adamo was more mature in this book which i liked, he understands more now about the mafia world and accepts it. I am sad that this is the last book of the series bc i love this series so much and will miss all the characters but Adamo’s story was the perfect way to end it. I love Dinara too because she is a badass and so different from the other heroines, her character is really unique and amazing. Overall I enjoyed reading TC

Adamo and Dinara's story, interesting plot, I liked the way Adamo had to overcome his demons and the way he did, but it still felt like it needed more on his side, it was too focused on Dinara's side. Yet, I found the story interesting to read, it is part of the series even though you can read it as a standalone it's better if you know the series.

I think Adamo is my new favorite Falcone! This book was so amazing. Adamo grew so much over the course of the whole series and I was so excited to read his story. Him and Dinara are perfect for eachother and I loved how much the both grew and developed within themselves and in their relationship. GO READ THIS RIGHT NOW!

He is the last Falcone to find his mate and just like his brothers his woman of choice is off limits but that doesn't stop them from fighting against all odds to be together. Regardless of coming from different backgrounds and rival organizations Dinara and Adamo find they are made for one another as they embark on a journey of revenge.

Honestly have read and loved many of Cora’s books however these past few have been hit or miss. This one was my least favorite of all her books and was an extremely disappointing end to my favorite series. There wasn’t really anything wrong with the characters per se, just as a couple they fell flat. I wanted an explosive ending to the Camorra Chronicles and what I got was a complete letdown.

Adamo & Dinara! I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This was my first book by Cora Reilly and Twisted Cravings was an interesting read! The story line was smooth and I loved the character development. No spoilers with my review! Overall I give this book 4 golden stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have so many thoughts circulating through my head after this read. It was such a great ride and I am still grasping with all the emotional elements of the story because the couple in the book is made up of traumatized individuals. They both have seen too much, but still want to live a life that is their own. Their fight to reclaim themeselves and each other is so beautiful. I know I will be rereading this book.

This is another great addition to the Camorra world. Love Adamo and Dinara’s relationship. Great heat but not a slow burn or sexual tension build up. I really enjoyed the plot and getting to see glimpses of Remo. Loved the epilogue too and seeing them that far in the future.

I was waiting for adamos book since forever and it didn’t disappoint at all.. i like that she made him his own person not a copy of remo, his personality changed but not too much that you don’t recognize him, and dinara she’s a completely different heroine than what we are used to from cora.. i loved their dynamic and that remo granted her the revenge she needed. Its been a while since i enjoyed one of coras books and am glad she got her streak back

I did like it. It has a wonderful female lead in Dinara. She was center stage in this whole story, so much so that there really wasn't much "Falcone" in it. I missed the family and there were no new tidbits in their dynamics. I did love the epilogue.

Dinara and Adamo have a passionate romance. They share the same cravings, some twisted and some that aren’t. They go on a bloodthirsty quest of revenge. Their romance has some major obstacles that they have to figure out how to overcome.

To say that this book was good, its an understatement. This book i have longed for for many days now and it is everything and more. I am used to her writing and stories and this book is no less than phenomenal but again, who is surprised?

Rivalries that work out. Being different is not always a bad thing. It worked for them. The darkness and light formed a perfect union. They lived for the future with each other and not just the family they came from.

Adamo’s and Dinara’s story is a great ending to the closure of the Camorra chronicle. Their way of finding happiness between two tortured souls is beautifully written. Can’t wait for the next generation of Falcones.

Adamos story was one I've been super excited to read. I was rooting for hi. Throughout every one of his brothers books. I had hoped to read about more of his time in New York with the Famiglia. I loved the unique relationship. It had a Bonnie and Clyde feel at times. I had always hoped he'd find a strong love. This was a great story.

A Romeo and Juliet retelling. Dinara Mikhailov and Adamo Falcone are from two families who hate each other. This story is about street racing and Mafia what less can you ask for. I enjoy this book.

Yes yes yes thank you for writing another book in this series. I hope you find a way to write more . I live in Vegas and every time I see an expensive car drive by I image its a Falcone driving bye lol.

I absolutely love this series. Nothing is easy for any of them, filled with loyalty, love, passion, and various addictions. The escape tgus author provides is 5 star.

I love all the other mafia books by Cora but Adamo’s story was horrible. After waiting so long for this book. I was so disappointed I could barely read. I skimmed forward most of the book because of how bad it was. Not really a mafia book a all. What a waste of a book.

free and wild... love is the same take but from totally other take. this brother was his own... I will love to read about the kids evolution

Really good. I’m glad the story didn’t go the way I thought it would at the beginning. Not my favorite Cora Reilly book but still amazing.

I have enjoyed all books but this one I liked the less. They lived like nomads and their lives were so different and uninteresting.

Nowhere near the same standard as previous books in this series, or the author’s other series. Total letdown and wasted effort attempting to read.

I tried to like this book, but it fell short of what i expected. There is something about the earlier books that were like magic to read and not once did this book really get my attention.

I was so excited for Adamo 's story but this was seriously lacking. Not enough background info on Dinara. Didn't fill us in on how things went with his transition back home.

I loved it so much adamo is all grown up he has came along way from that punk kids I’m like he find dinara

Cora never lets me down!! Hands down my favorite mafia author! I love these books. They keep you on your toes and take you on an amazing journey.

Definitely not a story following Adamo much. Seems more of a back story for Dinara. Lots of grammar errors through out the book. Some spots that someone would do something and the down the page it would get added back in randomly. Definitely would have loved more of Adamo's background, but still a good book.

I am so happy with this series? I have been unable to stop reading it and I love the characters!!!!

Loved this whole series I can't wait for more. I love the connection in all the characters and the whole little world Cora creates

The Camorra chronicles is one of my favorite series, but twisted cravings was a let down. I expected so much more and I was really hoping the story would be about Adamo and Marcella.

Couldn’t put the book down loved their story and the closeness of the family her books just get better and better

Wow amazing I love this series! My favorite author, always spicy and romantic. I can’t wait for new books to come out!

I love reading about all the families and how they connect from book to book. This was just another great story to add to my collection.

The Camorra was one of my favorite series form Cora. As well as the Born in Blood series. Best author

Can I start by saying, I LOVE THE CAMORRA MEN!! My absolute favorite is Remo and Fabiano, Adamo coming in second now that his story is out. The overall story and plot was amazing and written so well. HOWEVER, I felt as it dragged on to long than the 300 pages it was. It could’ve ended a lot sooner ALOT SOONER AFTER the fact that Dinara was done with her revenge. Adamo and Dinara’s characters got each other and instantly connected physically rather than emotionally that I felt while reading it and I loved the surroundings as Cora written it with Remo and Nevis and Greta we got to also see after six years. Remo and Adamo growth in this book was 🤌🏼🤌🏼 They have always buttedheads but the love the Camorra men have for each other is UUGGHH. I love there twisted bromance!! Overall; I adored this story but to say that I was slightly surprised by the outcome it left me satisfied but also unsatisfacted at the same time Overall Rating: 4.5/5 ⭐️ 2.5/5🔥

What the hell did I just read. I love the series but this one is just plain bad. It took me forever to finish this book. It was horrible! Did Cora even write this book. It was boring! I don’t know what happened here.

An ending to the Camorra Chronicles is sad but Cora Riley knows how to justify it with an amazing book. I fell in love with Adamo and Dinera’s story. I promise you won’t regret reading the book.

I received an advance copy courtesy of the author. I voluntarily reviewed this book. All opinions expressed are my own. Twisted Cravings Camorra Chronicles #6 By: Cora Reilly REVIEW ☆☆☆.5 (rounded up to ☆☆☆☆) As the final Camorra Chronicles book, I hoped Twisted Cravings would be epic. Was it? Not quite. Let me explain why. The good: In a name, Dinara Mikhailov, is the best part of the story. This Bratva princess, praise the heavens, is not a mousey virginal object of adoration. Dinara is a red headed force of nature, and like the rare phenomenon known as a fire tornado, she is awe inspiring and fierce. With a personal agenda, Dinara turns up in Las Vegas at a racing event where she encounters the youngest Falcone brother, Adamo. Obviously, the two develop a relationship (more on that later). As Dinara's shocking past comes to light, her end game becomes clear, too. Vengeance will be hers, and well deserved, at that. Her tenacity to achieve what she has resolved to do is unquestionable and garners major respect. As a woman in the mafia world, Dinara is an enigma. She is bold, combative and unyielding with her opinions and ideas. As heroines go, Dinara is a new favorite of mine. Also good: This story has a different vibe from the previous novels. It is dark and dirty, as expected. The racing aspect is totally new, but unfortunately, the idea is underdeveloped and mostly absent in the story. The potential is there, though, and a new (maybe) direction is a positive thing. The bad: I hate to say Adamo Falcone, but if the shoe fits. His story arc plays second fiddle to Dinara. There are no abstruse revelations about his history or profound moments with his brothers. Adamo is basically flat. He is supportive and earnest with Dinara, and he seems receptive to whatever life is going to be for him. Still, this story is undeniably not Adamo's. The fact is that Dinara simply shines. Additionally, the relationship between Adamo and Dinara is instantaneously tied to all things physical. Emotionally, their connection is shallow and provisional to how much time they spend in bed. The complexity of love was lacking, and I was unable to believe that this type of dynamic could be anything more than fleeting and aimless. In the bigger picture, a real future is unrealistic for these two. Too much physical and not enough emotional. So, this is my humble opinion. I didn't dislike or really love Twisted Cravings. I'm somewhere in the middle. I will continue to read Cora Reilly because I know that I won't like every book equally, and that's okay.

4.5 🌟 I loved it, the truth was that i did not have many expectations with this book, because Adamo was not my favorite character. So I literally came to this book with zero expectations, but what a surprise. I loved the book and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Of course, there is a moment where I want to hit Adamo when he misbehaved with my Remo, but in general I liked him a lot. You notice that Adamo has matured in this book, I love that he found his place in the Camorra, in life and his other half. There is a big difference between the Adamo that we saw in the previous books and the one we have here. Obviously age, life, and everything that happened helped him become the man he is. Dinara is simply an incredible woman, she is a strong character with a fighting spirit. This woman is nothing of what we are used to with Cora, but those changes precisely show the beauty of her character. I get a lot of tears and feel pain for this woman, but at the same time, a lot of admiration and respect. I loved Dinara completely and it really was a very abrupt change in the women of the series, but it is very pleasant to read. I completely loved the last chapters and each appearance of any of the Falcone, those moments is worth gold and I love every moment. Remo God this man is incredible and he won my heart once again and has all my respect and Love. In this book he showed me that I could love him even more. The book is NOTHING like what I expected. They did not have much idea where Cora would take the story and how it would unite the two mafias. Honestly the book surprised me a lot and for the better. I highly recommend it to you and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did, and feeling like we go back to Cora's principles when her stories caught you in such a way that you couldn't stop.

Wow. Absolutely wow. The last book of the Camorra Chronicles fell flat for me but this? This restored me, bought me back and made the Camorra Chronicles- cemented it- into the best mafia romance of all time. ADAMO. My sweet, precious baby boy. I can’t believe he’s grown and we get his love story and boy did it not disappoint. He is a mixture of his dark twisted older brother with just the right amount of charm. He is soft, soft when needed and completely and utterly ruthless when necessary. I loved everything about him. Dinara. She is defintely, and I mean defintely one of my favorite heroines to date. What a total bad ass. Someone who held her own head and hand and never once showed weakness. Her and Adamo fit perfectly together. I can’t stress to you enough how this is defintely one of my favorites in the entire Cora Reilley universe. This was stunning. A mixture of aderlaine, love and twist, so many twist. I want to emphasize that I didn’t expect this to be so great. I also LOVED the hints we got for the future generation, we are totally in for a whirlwind. I love the glimpses we got of all the brothers and their wives- especially Remo and Nino who will forever hold my heart. I knew, I knew this would end up being one of my favorites this year but even I’m surprised how much I liked it, the pacing was gorgeous, the writing was just as. So sad to see this series end, hands down the best mafia romances thus far.

𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 by Cora Reilly Writing this review came so easy to me because this book was Amazing!! My favorite of the Camorra chronicles , even more than Twisted Pride ♡ Dinara ,the Bratva princess, and Adamo ,the Camorra youngest prince, share a twisted and unfortunate past... they both suffered some kind of horrendeous trauma which caused them to subject themselves to drugs and addictions. They both deal with their inner demons and cravings, and have a daily struggle. 𝑰𝒕 𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒇 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒔 𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒔, 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅 , 𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒃𝒚 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒔. The second Adamo sees Dinara he knows he needs to get to know her, and what started as a friendly competition on the races in the middle of a deserted camp , ended as a love so great nobody can come between them. Not the Bratva nor the Camorra. 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝒍𝒖𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒆𝒚𝒆𝒔. 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒂 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒔𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒚-𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒃𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒕.

This book helped me understand Adamo and what he went through during the previous Camorra books and I'm in love with this boy turned into this an incredible man. 𝑷𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒚 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏, 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑰’𝒅 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒐𝒄𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒚 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔. Their story is magnificent, sad, romantic, horrifying, thrilling and hot as hell! What started as a means to an end, lead to a grueling journey and ended up as a beautiful HEA. 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕—𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍. I will say no more, but if you love the Camorra chronicles you will definitely love this one and surely fall in love with Adamo ❤ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Twisted Cravings ● The Camorra Chronicles Book 6 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ @corareillyauthor Twisted Cravings is the 6th book in the Camorra Chronicles, a standalone in an interconnected series. It is an enemies-to-lovers, mafia romance with a HEA. Adamo is a leader in the Italian mafia. Dinara is the daughter of the leader of the Russian mafia. When they meet, Dinara has ulterior motives to uncover the truth about her childhood trauma. However, feelings grow between them and Adamo joins her quest to seek revenge on all those her wronged her. This storyline was quite unique- Adamo and Dinara meet while participating in illegal races surrounding Las Vegas. The details of Dinara's past are horrifying and difficult to read. You will fall in love with Adamo and his unwavering love & protectivness of Dinara. He sees through the wall she's built & helps her to take back control of her life. I admire Dinara's character- she overcomes her trauma and is so incredibly strong. Some elements of this book could be triggering- child abuse, rape, & murder. However, it's truly a beautiful story of overcoming your past & not letting anything stand in your way of being with the person you love ❤

Twisted Cravings is a wild ride of pain, vengeance, redemption and true love. Adam and Dinara find the other half of their soul in each other. This captivating and emotional story was hard to put down. My heart broke for these two but it also soared as their relationship unfolded. This was a wonderful book and a great addition to this amazing series.
