Twisted Pride: A Dark Mafia Romance (The Camorra Chronicles Book 3)

“Your pride will be your downfall,” I said.“And your fury will be yours.”“Then we’ll fall together. Isn’t that the beginning of every tragic love story?”Remo Falcone is Capo to Las Vegas Camorra and he rules the west. When the Outfit breaches his territory and attacks him and his brothers he promises revenge. The opportunity comes when he kidnaps Capo Dante Cavallaro's niece Serafina on her wedding day. Thus their story begins!Remo Falcone was somewhat of a mystery to me. I saw sides of him in Twisted Loyalties and Twisted Emotions but I am glad I got to fully know him in Twisted Pride. The anti hero is quite sexy and I like his intensity, arrogance and darkness. This book, in this series, these characters, in these families, well, they come to life, and I experienced everything with them. It is tortured, it is painful, but it is also so beautiful."Love can bloom in the darkest places, and ours did wildly, freely, untamable"Remo and Serafina find their peace within, and then see that calm in the other. The chaos is there, and is weaved within that peace that they find together. Heart-breaking, heart-wrenching, and heart-bursting love, and a perfect match for this wild pair! My favorite moment was when at the end Remo let’s Serafina go. He doesn’t want to cage her but wants her to stay with him by choice. If you have read past books, you know that Mafia men don’t let their women go once they had them. I thought that made him so different than other men.“I was supposed to burn for them, for him, and I would.”When Remo exchanged himself for Adamo , I have never loved him more. No greater love can be then that. I knew that moment on I was Remo Falcone’ fan. He would die for those close to him. He loves his brothers unconditionally and wholeheartedly.I loved their relationship, brotherhood, how much they cared for one another and were willing to die for the other, despite their constant bickering and banter. I loved seeing that side of the Falcones.Twisted Pride is dark romance at it's finest, a book full of action, blood, loyalty and of course, romance too. Remo and Serafina's story has all this and much more, it really left me wanting more from them and this family

I honestly loved Remo and Serafina’s story. I read the middle to the end more than five times by now. I think Fina is the first female protagonist that is undeniably strong. Don’t get me wrong. Aria and Valentina are amazing in their own way, but Fina went beyond with her sense of pride and knowledge of who she was.I, of course, gave five stars here, but I cannot leave without saying that Remo felt a bit faded in the story sometimes. I guess I missed his real thoughts in the separation time. It always felt like everyone had their thoughts and feeling clear, but Remo not. Maybe the author tried to pass the impression that he did not know ou did not want want to acknowledge his love for Fina, but at the same time he wanted her to come on her free will? Quite contradictory.Another thing that bothered me was some forgotten higiene scenes. In one scene they were having sex and he has his fingers in both holes (if you understand me). The next scene, the same hands are on her face, then their children cry, she goes to the bathroom wash her hands, but he, the guy who had his fingers in deep places, goes with her to take care of the babies (hold, change diapers and feed) and did not wash hands. I was like: WTF? Why do you mention her, but not him washing hands? I bet I’d not even pay attention if the act of “wash hands” wasn’t in the scene.Anyway, despite these little BSs, I loved it. Hahaha

It took me a minute to get fully into Remo and Fina’s story… and it came with a punch. The shame that was pushed on Fina by her loved ones, made me see red. I don’t know how she does it, but all of your emotions are pulled into these books.

Okay so, I just somehow started with this book first after finishing the "Bound By" Series, well I didn't read the Growl one whoever the F that is. I just couldn't get enough of Cora's writing (although some of the Bound By series books had a lot of grammatical errors, idk why that bothered me so much) I skipped Fabiano and Leona cause it just didn't really appeal to me, idk why. Nino & Kiara's story (I've read it now, and wish I would've read it first before T.P just because the ending of the first book briefly talking about the way Remo looked at Serafina's picture) I'm convinced he just loved her from the get-go. I'm cheesy. So, explaining this book to friends was a weird thing, but IT'S MY FAVORITE OUT OF THE WHOLE SERIES, LIKE ALL OF THEM. I was SO into Gianna and Matteo's story, until I read the short story of them in Bound by Blood Anthology and kind of felt like, ew what happened to them.IDGAF what anyone says about this book cause literally like I dove into it not even really knowing who Remo or Nino or any of them were. Just the brief thing with Fabiano and his mom's bracelet with Aria and that was sketchy but, coming from that and then just coming into this... I wasn't expecting the ending of this book. The latter series was low-key predictable, and got a littttttle boring-ish. The Camorra is just ugh ugh ugh. I have re-read this book 3 times now. TO THE PEOPLE TALKING SHIT ON SERAFINA FOR LOSING HER BACKBONE MID-BOOK, OK LISTEN - Clearly, Remo was lying when he said that she was just another girl to him and didn't mean anything. They ended up falling for each other in the most strangest of circumstances. I have to admit, when he took her virginity, I kinda felt a little eh about it like ok, he's kind of douchey. But reading her side, I just have to understand because I obviously have never been in her position. Obviously. Idk, maybe I just recognize the relationship dynamic as well. It's such a beautiful novel though. I actually have quotes saved and my friends some how saw them and read them out loud and it was quite embarrassing (they are relevant to my real life relationships)OK SO - It got kind of slow after she left Remo, or rather Remo let her go... and like wtf is wrong with her family. Whatever. But the fact that it made me so emotional is how powerful the book is. It's like forbidden love with a real life twist that isn't "The secret life of a american teenager" lame or whatever. It felt real and not annoying. I've never done a book review before, but nonetheless. THEY'RE MY FAVORITE I WISH I COULD RE LIVE AND RE LIVE AND RE LIVE THIS NOVEL BECAUSE THEM. FOREVER.

I will be recommending this to friends and family it’s to good lmaoo… The character growth is by far the best yet

“My, what a beautiful bride you are,” Remo said. I raised my eyes and met his, wishing I hadn’t because the twisted smile on his face burned through me like a thunderstorm of terror.”If a year ago, somebody would have told me that I’d be binge reading The Camorra Chronicles, I would have said, that is not even possible. Because why? I don’t binge read series.But damn! This series was so so addictive! I read book after book and didn’t take a break.Remo, our twisted older Falcone had my attention from the very first book; Twisted Loyalties, and then by Twisted Emotions, I was convinced he is my guy!From the moment he planned Serafina’s “little something something surprise” I was on the edge of my chair.Before reading the book, I was sure Serafina would be a submissive kind of girl, but nahhhh. Our girl was outright dishing what Remo deserved. She had that fire and strong-will that was so matched with Remo.As always, the spice in the book was immaculate. Loved every minute and every second of this book ♥︎

When he is the biggest red flag 🚩 but you are color blind 🫠😍 I always enjoy a good enemies to lovers. Remo Falcone despite being the most heartless and cruelest man stole my heart. After what he and Nino had to endure at an young age he has lost his trust on humanity the only thing he relishes on is pain and torture. Serafina is a strong character who didn't cower under him and just like she said she eventually brought him to his knees breaking that tough exterior and revealing that little bit of love he has inside him. I loved how protective Remo is about his brothers but daddy Remo was so sweet🥹 I have lost count the number of times I have re-read this book but I still can't get enough of Remo and Serafina I could read another 200 pages of them just being all domestic with baby Nevio and Greta🥹❤️

I can’t fault this book at all, it was pure perfection! It had all the tropes I adore in it and I just couldn’t put it down.Remo & Serafina have my whole heart. I loved their story so much! They matched each others energy perfectly - no one in this world would be able to handle Remo the way Serafina did. They deserved each other!!Remo has an absolute hold on me!! His character was so complex and deep, the more I read about him the more I fell in love with him. He will forever own my heart!!Also, I’m just utterly obsessed with the Falcone brothers. Their bond is unmatched. I’d walk through fire for them!!

I’ve been waiting on Remo’s book for so long! He was the one I was the most curious about and honestly it did not disappoint, he is so peeeeeerfect, and handsome and awesome and did I sat perfect? Because oh my god he is! He became my absolutely favorite. The thing that I love the most about him is his loyalty I mean the man is FIERCE when it came to protect his family and the camorra and I love that so much on a character. Now speaking about Serafina, I honestly wasn’t expecting a lot from her because I just wanted Remo in my life but I really liked her character she is a super strong, loyal and fierce women I was 100% impress by her. And I LOVED her as a mom how hard she fought for her son and daughter to have what they deserve! Honestly mad respect for these women. She and Remo are so perfect for each other both so fierce a loyal when it came to their families. Fina was defiantly and amazing addition to the Falcone’s loooove her banter with Savio so much and her pal relationship with Leona and Kiara. And lastly I cannot wait to know more about Nevio and Greta, Cara Mia she is going to be so sweet and beautiful and Remo’s greatest loveeee omg I can’t, when she finally didn’t cry when he carried her my heart was so full and happy for my favorite Capo! Loved this book so much, and can’t wait for what’s to come!

Well I am extremely suspicious to talk about this book since the couple is my favorite of the entire series. Remo and Serafina are so WOW that I think it will be difficult to get into words how much I love them and the book too.I'll start by talking about my favorite character from Cora's books: Serafina Falcone. Since the beginning of the book she has shown herself to be a very strong character, who would not bow her head to the enemy and who would fight to the end for her honor, and throughout the reading, I realized that she is exactly like that, so much so that she can leave the dreaded capo of the Camorra on his knees. The ferocity with which she protects those she loves inspires me a lot and makes me love her even more, the character was well developed from the beginning to the end of the book and there were some scenes that I just wanted to scream WOW THATS MY GIRL ANGELNow talking about the most cruel ,twisted and brutal man in the West, Remo Falcone. Since his first mention in bound by love, I have been intrigued by the character, how he and his brothers at such a young age managed to seize power, rebuild a mafia that was destroyed and prosper to make it a great threat to rival mafias,Remo succeeded and became one of the most feared Capos and I admire him very much for that. I have to admit that in twisted loyalties I didn't know if I would really like the capo, especially because I didn't see his point of view and thoughts about the facts, but since Twisted Emotions he totally won me over and became my favorite main character. A similarity that I noticed from the beginning between Remo and Serafina was their unconditional love for their families, always seeking to protect them, they would walk on fire for those they love, in the case of Remo , literally. I am always thrilled to think that he so young with the support of Nino, created his brothers, being a father figure that he did not have, it is very clear the importance that his family has for him, in all the books we have scenes that prove this.Well, the relationship between Remo and serafina starts in a very troubled way lol but that made the book very exciting , which I liked. I think they are one of the couples with the best development written by Cora , their chemistry since the beginning caught me, the fine line between hate and love and their love demonstrations at the end of the book made me completely obsessed with the couple.* spoiler moment *: The climax of the book with Serafina having the twins, who are the most beautiful thing in the world, saving Remo and them going back to Las Vegas, is absolutely perfect, I never get tired of rereading those scenes and crying every time !Anyway, this was an incredible read, I loved to follow the journey of these characters, to see more about the others characters I love so much like Kiara (in this book we realize even more the beautiful relationship that she has built with the falcone family) and the others falcone brothers . I am VERY excited for the children's book, I fell in love with nevio and greta from the beginning and I can't wait to see them living their own stories, poor Remo that will suffer with these two lolI love the couple so much that I would give anything for more of their scenes, a book or a short story at least 🙏🏼 but I am already happy that we will see more of them in sins of the fathers. I will and this review with one of my favorite scenes from this incredible book!Remo“This woman had my cruel heart. She’d always have it.I was cruel.I was beyond redemption, but I didn’t care as long as Serafina ... as long as Nevio and Greta saw something redeeming when they looked at me.”
