woah, this was the best book of the series.

The enemies to lovers trope was done soo well. The angst and the intensity between Remo and Serafina was just perfect. I loved Serafina so much. It's no secret that Cora Reilly's female lead characters are usually gentle and docile and naive, and it was refreshing to have a female character that didn't conform to those stereotypes.
Also...... REMO. He's honestly perfect, I fucking adore him. Wow. He's crazy as hell, and I love it. He is definitely my favourite Falcone, with Adamo being a close second ofc. Remo's character development, from insane sociopath to domesticated husband, was EVERYTHING ugh. I'm obsessed.

I really loved Serafina's family at the beginning. I thought they were such an adorable, likeable family. It was clear they cared a lot for Serafina, which isn't what we've usually seen with the Outfit, and I really liked that aspect. (Up until a certain scene with Adamo ofc, iykyk. After that scene, fuck them.)

AND THE BABIES. One of my favourite romance tropes is when there's babies, and the couple becomes a family. I just think it's so endearing. I guess I never really pictured Remo with children (I don't really know why I never pictured Remo as a father, when he practically raised Silvo and Adamo....) but he was so perfect. Like the scene at the end when his son called him "Dad" and Remo got all happy. I'M CRYINGGG

Oh, and when Remo calls Serafina, "Angel".... Usually, I find it very cringe when a couple call each other with endearments, but in this, I was LIVING for it. Every time Remo called Serafina "Angel", my heart fluttered istg
