I have been a loyal reader of Reilly’s from the beginning, I fell in love with Aria, feared alongside Valentina, wanted to behead Matteo with Gianna... you see what I mean? I thought I would hate the Camorra Chronicles when they came out, but soon enough I fell for the Falcones, too; Remo being the most fantastic of them all.
When I saw Savio’s story was coming out, I lost it. I was incredibly excited, and preordered (with a release day at the expense of important life milestones!). As soon as I got my hands on the book I flew through it. Reilly, as per usual, delivered in creating a couple that was unique and that went through lots of personal growth. It was a good book.
That said, I felt like Gemma’s character was a bit too... childish? She acted immaturely and naïve to a point that I wanted to smack her around and show her to a library or even the internet. Gemma is supposed to be this bad äss chick that is hit with one of cupid’s lightning bolts (because that was NOT an arrow) when she was very young, but while she IS fairly bad äss and fights and can “hang” with Savio, I always felt like she never fully developed as a character. We never find out what became of her as an individual, whether she ever found her path as a person, whether she developed aspirations, we are left with one of those “and he loved her, and finally she had meaning/worth”. I hate that there was an amazing opportunity for her to be a person, choose her path/ career, and see her grow as an individual with more than love in their head, and that Reilly made it almost an after thought. Gemma grew over the book, but she needed more development. More so, when you compare her to Savio.

Is this Reilly’s best work? No.

Would I re-read it? It wouldn’t be my first choice (Aria, Gianna, Growl or Remo’s would), but eventually I would.

Is it worth the money and time? Yes, why? Savio.

Most commonly shouted sentences while reading? “Dammit, Gemma!”
“Fucken, Savio...!!!!”
“Why is Adamo always such a little betch???”
“God, I love Remo.”

Exciting things I hope are in our future?
1. Adamo falling in love with Aria’s daughter (who is a bit of Gianna and a ton of Lily, it seems!)
2. Adamo growing up and quitting his little betch ways.
3. Nevio and Greta getting their own books, because, yes.
4. The book that I am almost sure will be coming on the Mad Man from L.A. ...more "
