"Was this love? Was this madness? I didn’t care. It was perfection either way"

"Regret over the past is wasted energy. We can’t change the past, no matter how much we want to do it."

Sorry if you love the book, but it was totally not for me. This book made me mad so many times that I forgot half of it while reading, because new stuff popped up in every chapter. It was too long and too boring, I highlighted more Niko/Kiara moments than Remo/Fina.

I was exited to read Remo’s book, because I was surprise how much I liked Nino’s book, but the only moments I liked him where during sp!cy scenes and when he was interacting with his children. I almost forgot, the nickname "Angel" was cute too. 

Serafina had no personality, and her most important thing in her life was her v!rginity. When Reno said that:

"Of course, she knew. She was not only beautiful, she was stunningly intelligent. A lethal combination"

I was laughing, because Inteligent? I dont think so. She made stupid choices most of the time. The fact that she got pregnant, which shows that she really wasn’t thinking, because every time they did that, she didn’t thought about condoms.. 

You can't convince me that if it wasn't for the kids, they wouldn't be back together. The "I love us" felt forced and too fast, after so long they had not been together.

I forced myself to finish it honestly, Nevio and Greta made the end for me. I know I will love them.

i love this book so much, i love remo falcone so much, i love serafina falcone so much. 

remo was crazy for kidnapping fina, i kind of think fina was denial to catch stockholm syndrome. at some point, it feels like she holds so much power over him — as much as he was so denial about that at first and fina so unaware of that, though later on she was confident and believe that she holds so much power over him. 

remo was frustrating, but understandable, for that the feeling and attraction were so confusing for him. his denial emerged unscratchable itchiness in me, for real. 

we were so robbed of serafina's pregnancy, it hurts me that remo lived his life not knowing little remo and fina exists. both of them were screwed, yet none of them reached each other; thinking the other didn't want/love them. </3

Me aburrió en algunas partes, me esperaba más en otras, pero en general, disfruté de la lectura y más, hacia la parte final.

Creo que hasta ahora el segundo libro sigue posicionado como mi favorito de la saga. Me pondré con el 4to porque tengo curiosidad de saber mñas de Kiara y Nino, y los demás.

Por otra parte, no estoy muy convencida de leerme el quinto y el sexto dado que Savio y Adamo como personajes no me llaman mucho, pero lo decidiré más adelante.

Pftttt! I was supposed to finished this series earlier. I was reading other first this is the last I get to finish and surprisingly I love this as much as I love Nino & Kiara’s story. 

A man that not capable of love, a broken man offer nothing can love so much. This Series tell us the bond between brothers and their wives.

** spoiler alert **
           le tenía mucha fe a este libro y la verdad es que no me decepcionó. Sabía que Remo era bastante cruel y retorcido, y era ridículo pensar que una mujer lo cambiaría, y me encantó leer cómo Serafina lo aceptó con toda su oscuridad. Y si, muchas cosas cuestionable pero ajá qué se puede esperar de un libro de mafia. Remo siendo papá fue una de las mejores cosas que pude leer y siento que necesito más escenas de Serafina y Remo junto a sus hijos.

i’m speechless. remo and serafina definitely deserve more than five stars, thats for sure.

You are able to read as a standalone, but I think I will finish the series. It was a very good book, there wasn't much action but it did keep my attention. This book shows that you should protect who matter to you and most things will have a consequence. The fact that Serafina gave up her family to protect her children was everything. She was strong through everything and rarely showed emotion.

this is just ronanmila all over again 😭 kidnapping trope really is not for me lol. plus the first half just reinforced my fear of remo.

anyway, i still am happy that i didnt dnf this because i got to see neviogreta twins and ninokiara crumbs. i loved the last 5-7 chapters huhu

2.5 ☆

So I’ve finally finished this one. 
If you know me, you know I’ve been addicted to this entire universe that Cora created for a while now and I’ve been so curious and excited for Remo’s book.
Sadly, I didn’t like it as much as I wanted to. I think some part of it was because I read Bound by the Past before and I knew exactly what was going to happen… but also because Serafina was so annoying at the beginning and Remo disappointed me. 
Don’t get me wrong, I still like this book. I was just hoping it was a 4-star or above for me but it wasn’t. 
At the beginning we get a real fake Serafina. I loved the moment with Samuel, even though she was naive, but she was being herself. 
Then came the downfall of Remo. (view spoiler)[The way they first slept together… Can I really consider it willingly? I think it was a mix of both wanting and pressure… Which I didn’t really enjoy. (hide spoiler)]
Things got WAY BETTER when we finally (view spoiler)[see Fabi having his revenge. Absolutely loved that Cora described it and MATTEO APPEARED!!!!! (hide spoiler)]
Once they go back to Las Vegas, things got smoother and very enjoyable. The Falcones with the kids are so cute. 
I really liked Adamo in this book but I think my favorite remains Nino… Even though my heart has a spot for Remo.

La historia de Serafina y Remo definitivamente no ha sido para mí.
Lo cierto es que no he disfrutado mucho con esta historia, ni con la trama general y se me ha hecho complicada de leer en muchos momentos porque me resultaban bastante duros.

Ni Serafina ni Remo han terminado de convencerme. Me gustó más Remo en los dos primeros libros de la serie que en su propia historia. Y Serafina, más o menos igual, no he logrado conectar muy bien con ellos ni con su historia de amor.
Me ha encantado que aparecieran los protagonistas de los anteriores libros.

'Twisted pride' es una historia ágil de leer, rápida y amena. En ese sentido es una novela muy guay. Pero no la he disfrutado mucho y no he logrado conectar con los protagonistas ni con la historia ni la trama.

           „you had to lose something to win“ – „i did. but losing something makes you appreciate the things you have so much more. i don‘t regret a thing because it brought me here. i love you with every fiber of my being.“

————————————

after reading fabianos and leonas book, i never thought i could like anything about remo.
and while the story began deeply toxic and the words stockholme syndrome rang through my head constantly in the first half of the book, i couldn’t help but totally get invested in remos and serafinas lovestory.
remo is the character you hate to love but love to hate and i really appreciated the insight into his troubled past, it made him so much more human.
i really liked serafinas character aswell, even though she was pissing me off when she couldn’t bring herself to tell her family the truth when a literal CHILD was being tortured because of her, i admired her strength, resilience and intelligence throughout the entire book.

in conclusion, i am so much more invested in this series than i‘d like to admit lol.

Mind-blowing. I have lost count of the number of times I have repeated this book. Reading about Remo Falcone, the Capo of the Camorra, falling in love with the strongest female character in Cora Reilly's entire collection, Serafina Mione, was enticing. This is the most passionate book in the entire collection. The plot was absolutely fantastic. The main leads were passionate, caring, alluring, charming and so very strong. The main leads scream "power couple" through the entire book. Even the supporting characters were mesmerising. It equally shows the importance of family and the power of love. There are unexpected twists and turns throughout the book. This one is my most favourite book of all times. I have been in love with remo for almost two years and it still doesn't gets old. I definetely suggest this book to ever single person who loves to read. This book has made me cry out of happiness and contentment every single time. HAPPY READING!!!!!!

El tercer libro de esta serie trata del hermano Falcone que más intrigada me tenía y no fue lo que esperaba, en general no fue malo ni nada solo diferente. Trata de Remo el capo más desquiciado de todos y Serafina la sobrina de Dante, quien Remo secuestro el día de su boda, digo no me sorprende para nada de él. 
Serafina al igual que dante es conocida como una princesa de hielo y lo que la hace diferente del resto es que es bastante fuerte y no está dispuesta a rendirse ante Remo, mientras que el tenía planeado hacerla sufrir pero con el tiempo eso va cambiando, su relación fue volátil y tuvo momentos muy hot. Al principio la verdad me estaba aburriendo y no veía a donde iba a llegar su relación(?), pero todo eso cambio en el momento en que Remo regresa a Serafina y bueno ahí fue cuando me gusto el libro demasiado. 
Remo perdiendo aún más la cabeza esperando que Serafina sea ella ahora quien decida si quiere estar con él fue increíble, mientras que Fina tuvo que soportar a una familia que no la quería escuchar, está por demás decir que odio a su familia y no sé cómo sentirme con Samuel (su gemelo) después de BBTP, hablare de eso después. Continuando, Fina es una queen y me hizo sentir orgullosa cuando salvo a Remo y busco su felicidad y especialmente la protección de sus hijos.
En general me gusto el libro, fue diferente a lo que esperaba pero aun así me sentí satisfecha, Nino y Kiara no me gustaron tanto aquí, mientras que Adamo my baby, necesito su libro ya porque el de todos merece un final feliz y Savio divertido como siempre, lo recomiendo pero tengan a consideración que se trata de Remo sooo es creo el libro más fuerte de la serie definitivamente. 


  English


The third book in this series is about the brother Falcone who intrigued me the most and was not what I expected, in general it was not bad or anything just different. It is about Remo the most insane capo of all and Serafina the niece of Dante, whom Remo kidnapped on his wedding day, well it doesn’t surprise me at all about him.
Serafina, like Dante, is known as an ice princess and what makes her different from the rest is that she is quite strong and is not willing to surrender to Remo, while he had planned to make her suffer over time that changes, his relationship was volatile and had very hot moments. At first honestly it was kind of boring and I didn’t see where their relationship(?) was going, but all that changed the moment Remo returns Serafina and well that's when I started to like the book too much.
Remo losing his mind even more hoping that Serafina will be the one to decide now if she wants to be with him was incredible, while Fina had to endure a family that did not want to listen to her, it goes without saying that I hate her family and I don’t know how to feel about Samuel (her twin) after BBTP, I'll talk about it later. Continuing, Fina is a queen and made me feel proud when she saved Remo and look out for her happiness and especially the protection of her children.
In general I liked the book, it was different from what I expected but I still felt satisfied, I did not like Nino and Kiara so much here, while Adamo my baby, I need his book now because he deserves a happy ending and Savio funny aAs always, I recommend it but keep in mind that this is Remo sooo is definitely the strongest book in the series.

So far this is the best Cora Reilly book I've read!
