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

WOW! Twisted Oath by A.S. Roberts is another amazing story and the brand-new book in the Bound By Blood series. I have not read a book of hers that I have not loved and have not given 5 stars to. If I could give this book more I would. This is definitely my favourite so far.
The story of Salvatore and Serafina is immersive and enthralling and is told in multiple POV making the characters come to life. A.S. has the knack to make the characters feel real as she puts them through their paces. They are really well written and fully developed.
A.S. quickly draws you into the world in which she weaves and what a twisted ride it is. There isn’t a dull moment in this captivating story that flows smoothly with great pace. With just the right amount of tension and energy in the story makes it even better.
With revenge and justice, vengeance and dreams, solace and power, hunger and passion, anger and jealousy, love and so much more you will not want to put this book down. It will also stay with you long after you have finished it.
There are no spoilers here because this goodness needs to be discovered all on its own.
I love a good dark, raw and gritty mafia romance and A.S. has delivered. Happy reading.

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

This is a great introduction into the Bound by Blood series, I’m certainly hooked!

To start with, the author has a way of writing that flows so smoothly and captures the depth of emotion the characters have, so that you feel it as your own. They paint a vivid picture that you feel you could easily step into and live the ‘adventure’ alongside the characters.

The characters were written incredibly well. Salvatore and Serafina both have pasts and how they became who they are and how they respond to things is very well reflected in the book. I was rooting for them from start to finish, they captivated me, and I grew emotionally attached – definite book hangover because of them!

The twists and turns had me guessing (and not always correctly which I loved), I couldn’t put this book down. It had everything I wanted, strong characters, suspense, secrets, romance and more! I’m sad this book is over but I’m excited for the next!

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

Salvatore grew up poor, orphaned and learned at a young age he wanted revenge. He took his time learning the De Luca ways. Although ignored by his mafia family as the bastard son he watched and planned his revenge for losing his Mother. He blamed Alessandro Giordano and seeing Serafina, the oldest daughter to Alessandro, he plotted his revenge which will include taking Serafina as his bride. What he didn’t plan for is to fall for her.

This was absolutely riveting. I was captivated by Salvatore, he is solely focused on revenge and Serafina once she accepts her role even though she is not happy with it falls for Salvatore. There is so much that unfolds during the story that you wont be able to put this one down. I am anxious to read the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twisted Oath is Book One in the Bound by Blood Series. It is a fast paced, dark romance story that centers around the characters of Serafina and Salvatore. This story is beautifully crafted, with fantastic characters, and will pull you into the twisted worlds of Salvatore and Serafina as they are drawn together while simultaneously being torn apart. Serafina is the head of a powerful family in Italy and dreams of escaping but feels misunderstood by everyone except one man. That man is Salvatore whose sole mission in life has been to seek revenge on those that wronged him. Salvatore had to learn to be strong to survive after being orphaned at the age of four years old. He vowed that one day he would take his rightful place and claim his birthright. The chemistry and attraction between Salvatore and Serafina is undeniable but for Salvatore revenge must come first. He has sworn to take vengeance to gain what is rightfully his as head of the family. Serafina finds solace in Salvatore but must push aside her dreams and do whatever it takes to protect her family. The relationship between the two is intense and explosive as it progresses through the story. A great read full of love, hate, vengeance, justice, passion, angst, drama, chemistry, suspense, romance, and intense emotions.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From the moment you start reading this book you are pulled into a dark and intense world. It grabs your attention and keeps a tight grip well after the book is finished. It was gritty and exciting and an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. The characters really brought all the emotions of the book into focus and made it real and alive. I loved their connection and the evident chemistry between them.
This author really knows how to write a truly fantastic book and this is just one example of many. I also connect with her books so easily and I am always left wanting more once I have finished. This is a brilliant start to a new series and I cannot wait to see what else is to come.

This is an author that never hesitates to pick up. I have enjoyed reading this author’s book from the start. This is the first book in a new series and what a great start it is. This is a well written story that is not only hard to put down but engaging to the end. The characters will take you on an emotional ride full of romance and some suspense as well. I enjoyed how they pull you into their world where dreams are put aside and revenge comes first. I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their steamy chemistry. There is an attraction that is undeniable and makes the story easy to read. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. This is one that you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to seeing what is next for this series. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can a dark mafia romance get any hotter? I thought the prologue was hot and romantic. I was wishing I had a Salvatore to come rescue me. I loved the way the story was set up to give us back history into why he is the way he is. Man, the action, drama, romance and story is WOW!! I loved it and couldn’t get enough. I have to admit that I stayed up most of the nights reading this. When I wasn’t reading, it was all I could think about. This author writes in a way that leaves you wanting more. Your characters are such that you need to figure out who they are.I loved it and want more. This is a 5 star that would be more if I were allowed to give it more.

Mafia at its best
I really do enjoy a good mafia story and this book did not disappoint. This is the first book in the Bound by Blood series and I am hooked. The writing is brilliantly crafted and draws you in. The characters are fleshed out and the storyline explosive. There’s drama, violence, alpha males, strong females and slow burn romance – everything that a good mafia story should have. This is not for the faint hearted and the author does not hold back from delivering a traditional mafia story. Looking forward to book two. Highly recommend.

Salvatore

Abandoned by my father.

Orphaned at four.

I grew up penniless, knowing I had the birthright to so very much more.

But it made me strong, and gave me a thirst for REVENGE.

I swore an oath to take my vengeance.

Each life I take is a step closer.

Forcefully, I reclaim what’s mine.

My rightful place at the head of the family and more importantly; her.

The girl who was never meant to get under my skin.

Serafina

Born the elder daughter to a powerful and traditional family in southern Italy,

I have it all.

But I dream of escape.

Only one person understands me.

A wild, dark-haired young man who silently offers me his solace.

Until one day he singlehandedly tears my world apart.

Whatever my dreams were, I will forfeit them all to save my family.
