Nino and Kiara already meant so much to me. I remember reading their first book and wishing for more and I'm so glad the author decided to give us this one.

My heart is so happy. I was a sobbing mess last night reading this thing. I had a feeling the direction Nino and Kiara's family was going to go in as soon as Serafina mentioned how good parents they'd be in her and Remo's book. 

I didn't expect them to literally just find a child but omg I was bawling my eyes out. Not only because of the way that lady treated Alessio but also since he was just what Nino and Kiara needed. That part meant so much to me because my uncle and aunty actually couldn't have children, but somehow, this child who used to be abused by his parents came into their lives, and of course, they adopted. And crazy enough, the baby looks like he belonged in our family all this time. So yeah I could just imagine how the whole thing was for Nino and Kiara.

This book also set the scene for Savio and Adamo who I hope are getting their own books. Can we also just talk about Remo and Kiara's relationship —the way I'm tearing up just thinking about it. I love that he's always there for her. Makes my heart really happy.

i found an excerpt of this book on twitter about the “who hurt you scene?”, and because i’m a sucker for that i picked it up

jesus christ, how boring it was. if you take a shot everytime kiara tells nino the falcones are her family, that kiara loves everything about them and nino telling kiara nothing will happen to her, you will end up dead.

nothing in this book moved it, and i’m easily entertained. wow, didn’t know it was possible to butcher a mafia story but it sure is!!!

also all the men were so misogynistic it was sooo painful to read

“Sometimes I feel like my insides are a raging flood of emotions when I look at you, but I don’t mind drowning.”

We’re back with Kiara and Nino Falcone!
Oh my goodness I love them! As the Falcone family grows, Kiara’s baby fever grows too. Sometimes it doesn’t come so easy for a couple and this book highlights a journey to parenthood for Kiara and Nino.

Trigger warning:

*
child abuse in this book.
I wasn’t prepared and it was hard to read.
I’m someone going through infertility (after three kids. It’s a mindfuck) so reading about a newborn being starved and burned and dumped in a trash can..
My heart.
