Twisted Oath (Bound By Blood Book 1) by A. S. Roberts – Review by Dawn Brown

Twisted Oath by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Serafina is the middle child and oldest daughter of a man in the Italian mafia. Salvatore is the bastard son of another man in the mafia. Set on revenge to avenge his mother being turned away while pregnant, Salvatore sets his mind to getting Serafina from an early age. When he finally gets her though, his hardened heart can’t help but have feelings for her.
Opinion
I love a good mafia story and this book is the first in a series of them. I believe that Roberts did a stand up job creating a world in which the mafia could in fact exist. The revenge plot is certainly something I would expect of a book in the genre.
I did have a few minor problems with the story. The way religion was addressed in certain spots irritated me in that it almost was sacrilegious. (I do realize that has more to do with my faith but my faith was brought up in the book.) I also had a problem with Serafina marrying at 16. (Again, I know this has more to do with my morals than the story but it does rub me the wrong way.)
Other than my two issues, I though the book was well thought out and it kept me captivated. My two issues will certainly not keep me from reading more in the series, as it looks to be a good series.
