“You only have this one life, Lily. Make the best of it. I wish I had done it and now it’s too late. I don’t want you to end like me, to look back at a life full of missed opportunities and lost dreams. Don’t let life pass you by. You are braver than me, brave enough to fight for your happiness.”

5 "Cosa Nostra First " stars!!!

Liliana, the third wheel in her family, always the third best, always the one who suffer, always the one who sacrifice. Not long ago she was sweet and innocent but now she's grown into a mature strong young woman who knows her duty. All her morals and the barriers she built through the past years fly through the window hen she comes to face to face with the man she used to have a crush on, the man she now love.

Romero, a loyal faithful soldier, who always put the Outfit first. He was always aware of the young mafia princess's crush on him and ignored since he's a lot older and she was too young. But now seeing her all grown up and beautiful, his heart that has been shut for so long start to open. But then he's just a soldier and she's a princess.

Can a love like theirs survive this cruel world?

“Don’t let anyone stop you from achieving happiness.”

Ok I know most people didn't like this much because this was too cheesy or whatever the fuck. But hey! Mafia romance with a bit of cheese is kinda ok. But for real tho, there were horrifying scenes too. I know most people are disturbed by the fact that Lily crushed on Romero from a very young age and she was just a horny kid. Sorry to say but I disagree.

Lily was in ok age to have a crush seeing that I was actually proposed with a gummy bear ring by my present-fiance when we were just 6. Come on it's not like we were not crushing hard on 1D's and Justin Bieber (I personally hate him tho) and all when we were young.

As for her being horny and causing trouble........like what? Do you want her to fall in love with that 100 year old limp dick? It's not like she went whoring around, fucking every man she see. She just sneaked into the room of the man she loved, a man who was attracted to her too.

What I saw in her was her growth throughout the story. Ok maybe she was a horny kid but with the story soon enough she became a strong woman, with balls. She went through heartache alone, sacrificed herself for her family, was strong enough to break the union of a man who'd treat her wrong, and fought for her love. When I see her that's what I see.

I love Romero too. Regarding how cold he was in the previous books and now seeing him sweet and kind to Lily in this, I melted. After all murderer or mobster he's a human being too! I loved his understanding, possessiveness and most of all his patience. He is my favourite Made Man in this series. He didn't stray but stayed true to Lily even when he saw her marrying another man.

Overall the plot was amazing as usual. The connection, chemistry between the characters were really good.
