Always two twirls
This is really making me think if I should re-read the series from the beginning. This series is just so so good and has all the things you need in long lasting great series about family, friends, a little drama and mob talk, but also hilarious moments and talks. This was the perfect little reminder of the whole gang and a sweet homage to Andi. I really feel like I need to reread but am also scared because I'll know what's going to happen and want to tell at them not to trust a certain person. Definitely read Eagle Elite first don't try without it or you'll just be confused.

This was a pleasant surprise. I didn’t know this was releasing but I’m so happy it did. I didn’t even knew I needed it until I read it. If you’re a fan of Eagle Elite series you will understand.
This was achingly beautiful and I cried through the whole 33 pages! Just talking about it makes me emotional 😭. Andy will always be remembered by all including Val who does more than just remember her. So beautiful! 😭
Loved how Sergei pays homage to Andy and I love how in sync he and Val are specially where Andy is concerned.
I fucking love the Abandonato family and everyone in Eagle Elite! Loved everything about this!
Thank you Rachel for writing this.
Live life with Two Twirls and be happy!

A sweet Christmas story about Sergio all these years later, still morning the death of Andi.
Sergio still loves Andi, and every year, he keeps his promise to her, to not forget her he visits her favorite place and remembers all the good times and good things she did.
Val being such a brave soul loves Luca and lets him morn Andi in his own way while keeping Andi alive in her own way.
When they are together, they become whole and make it a kinda 2 twirl kind of night!
Loved this short read and just love Luca and Val's story

Super quick read but perfect! We get to spend Christmas with our favorite mafia families🖤 and watch them celebrate living💕
💕fave quote📖
“You’re my best friend, Val. I know our story is different, but I truly wouldn’t want anyone else by my side.” I wanted to say even Andi, but that felt petty and wrong. He smiled down at me. “She was at my side for a season. You’re at my side for forever. Both had different meanings, different needs, and right now. I need you.”——my heart 🥲

Two Twirls
This is a short story and great to read about Sergio and the mafia family. It’s been 10 yrs since Andi passed away. Nixon, Chase, Dante, Andrei, Tex & Phoenix join Sergio to visit the tree he planted in her honor. Val is a wonderful woman that has giving him a family and help him become the man he is. This story is not only sad but also funny in parts. Thank you Rachel.

A Two Twirl Christmas
Sergio and Andi’s love story was a hard one to read about because Andi ends up dying. Then he falls in love with Val and creates a life with her. The beautiful part of this story though is Val. Her heart and her acceptance of Sergio’s love for Andi. It’s a beautiful love story all the way around. I also love how Stan Lee makes an appearance in this book. A feel good must read novella! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

To say I sobbed reading this short look back at an anniversary of an event that broke us all and all the men and women of this family is an understatement. This was the nod to Andi that has been a long time coming.
I admit that I skipped Sergio and Vals' book, but after reading this, I finally feel I'm ready to finally face a story that I didn't want to happen.

short, sweet, and spicy!
A short, sweet, and spicy novella about the ‘family’ which made me laugh and cry all within a few pages! Stan Lee makes an appearance which was totally fun to see. You definitely need to have read the other books to know the people mentioned in this quick story.

Never forget two twirls
Two twirls has and always will stay with me. Sergio will forever be my favorite( although it’s hard to pick just one of the guys) ! It’s a nice reminder that we can love people on different levels in different ways and it’s okay.

I love the Eagle Elite crew and Sergio’s books were by far my favorite.
I honestly cried though the 1st 4 chapters (and there were only 5 in total) my only complaint is it was way too short

Two Twirl Christmas🎄
When I read Sergio and Andi’s story I absolutely balled😭 but knowing that he got his second chance and still remembers her even though he’s married to Val and she lets him remember with no hard feelings, shows a really wonderful relationship❣️
Loved catching up, no matter how brief, with the Eagle Elite crew😍

Emotional
Both of Sergio's books made me cry when I read them originally and was his story is no different. I like how after ten years, both Sergio and Val still did something to remember Andi by. I'm so glad that Rachel is still giving us stories related to the original Eagle Elite.

What a wonderful little addition to this series. I love the Five Families. Their love and loyalty for each other gets to me each time I'm immersed in this world.

It was nice to go back and visit the families. Sergio was one of my favorites, and this makes me want to go back and revisit his stories.
