This book is perfect
Matteo is literally a forest flag — calm, kind, respectful, protective, and mature... he's like he came out of nature itself, pure and comforting.
Throughout the story, he understands Liliana, respects her, and supports her revenge for her family. He never insulted her in front of anyone — not even in private.
And the cutest thing? Her name from his lips — “Lili” — I’M MELTING🙂↔️❤✨!
He stayed loyal to his friend Silas, Liliana’s brother, and kept his promise to protect her.
He always thought about his men and about Lili, asked for her opinion in every step, and respected her choices — literally the perfect man.
He always put Lili first — her healing, her words, her everything.✨❤
Even when Liliana lied and told him that Callum wasn’t his son, he still said he didn’t mind raising him and being a father figure — I cried.🥲❤✨
Liliana is such a strong heroine. Physically, she knows how to fight, use weapons and knives — she’s experienced.
That was really good — she depended on herself, stood her ground, didn’t wait for Matteo to save her every time.
She fought for her life, protected herself and her son, and always made Callum’s safety her number one priority.
She was brave and smart.✨
The only thing I didn’t like was when she ran away from Matteo because of her overwhelming emotions. I understood her, but still — she could’ve talked to him one more time and cleared things up.
-Thank God, Matteo chased after her and saved us from the “breakup drama”!-
His reaction when he found out Callum was his son felt so realistic. I don’t blame him — having a son for three years and not knowing?
She left, hid the truth for another month after returning…
He had every right to feel hurt and betrayed.
He missed watching his son’s first steps, first words — and that hurts.
But even in his pain and anger, he stayed focused on protecting Lili and Callum.
Even when he stayed away, it was just to cool down and avoid hurting her in a moment of rage — I love him so much.
Callum himself is the sweetest little thing! Saying “mama–dada” in his tiny voice — a walking bundle of cuteness.
Silas, Liliana’s brother —
The perfect older brother. Protective, loving, strong.
Her memories of him kept her going.
He trained her, protected her, was her friend — her everything.
His death was the most painful part of the story.
He never got to meet Callum. Never got that one last conversation with Lili.
He was betrayed and killed by the woman he trusted — on what was supposed to be a happy day… and she turned it into a massacre.
He’s the most tragic character.
He, like Liliana, never wanted the mafia life — but was forced into it.
