How The Camorra Chronicles Began
Cora Reilly, a German author with a knack for crafting dangerously sexy bad boys, launched The Camorra Chronicles in 2018 as a spin-off to her wildly popular Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles. Inspired by mafia documentaries and a vivid scene of a wedding night that sparked in her mind, Reilly created a Las Vegas-based saga centered on the Camorra, a fictional mob syndicate led by the Falcone brothers. Her goal? To dive deeper into the darker, more violent corners of the mafia world while weaving tales of love that defy the odds.
Reilly’s shift from young adult literature to romance allowed her to explore mature themes, and The Camorra Chronicles reflects her passion for blending raw emotion with gritty realism. The series’ Las Vegas setting, a city of glitz and shadows, became the perfect backdrop for stories where loyalty is tested, and hearts are won amidst chaos.
The Heart of The Camorra Chronicles
The series kicks off with Twisted Loyalties (2018), where Fabiano Scuderi, abandoned by his Chicago Outfit family, rises as the Camorra’s fierce enforcer. His unexpected romance with Leona, a woman seeking a better life, sets the tone for the series’ blend of danger and devotion. Twisted Emotions (2019) follows Nino Falcone, the emotionless genius of the Camorra, whose arranged marriage to Kiara Vitiello, a woman scarred by trauma, blooms into a tender yet intense love story.
Twisted Pride (2019) delivers a darker tale, with Capo Remo Falcone kidnapping Serafina, the niece of a rival mob boss, sparking a tumultuous romance fueled by revenge and pride. Finally, Twisted Cravings (2021) explores Adamo Falcone’s journey through illegal street racing, where his fiery connection with Bratva princess Dinara Mikhailov tests his loyalty to the Camorra. Themes of loyalty, redemption, and the clash between duty and desire run deep, all wrapped in Reilly’s signature steamy, suspenseful style. The Las Vegas setting amplifies the stakes, with its casinos and dark alleys mirroring the characters’ inner turmoil.
Each book stands alone but builds a richer world when read in order, offering readers a front-row seat to the Falcone brothers’ battles—both in the streets and in their hearts. The series’ darker tone, compared to its predecessor, embraces graphic violence and sensitive topics, making it a bold choice for fans of mafia romance.
