Remo Falcone is beyond redemption.

As Capo of the Camorra he rules with a brutal hand over his territory - a territory the Chicago Outfit breached.

Now Remo is out for retribution.

A wedding is sacred, stealing a bride sacrilegious.

Serafina is the niece of the Boss of the Outfit, and her hand has been promised in marriage for years, but kidnapped in her wedding dress on her way to church by Remo, Serafina quickly realizes that she can’t hope for saving. Yet, even in the hands of the cruelest man she knows, she is determined to cling to her pride, and Remo soon understands that the woman at his mercy might not be as easy to break as he thought.

A ruthless man on a quest to destroy the Outfit by breaking someone they are supposed to protect.

A woman intent on bringing a monster to his knees.

Two families that will never be the same.

Addicted to Cora Reilly’s Mafia Stories!

Cora Reilly’s “Twisted” series and “Bound” series have me totally hooked!! Make sure you read the Bound series first, then the Twisted series. There are recurring characters throughout, so while a book may focus on a particular character or couple, we also get to hear what is going on with other characters that we are already familiar with. SPOILER ALERT: In Twisted Pride, we finally hear the story of Serafina’s kidnapping and captivity from HER perspective. What’s fascinating is that her story differs almost completely from the version her family has constructed for themselves, based on the few facts they have. Wow...just wow. Serafina’s story certainly challenges the family’s expectations of female purity at marriage, and exposes the shaming/blaming (even from loved ones) often associated with sexual assault. She is left with very limited options, none of which has any resemblance to her previous hopes and dreams. END OF SPOILER.
I recommend all of the books in these two series! Ms. Reilly, how about another series covering the next phase in the lives of these fascinating mob families??!!

Horrible Female Narrator

The female narrator almost ruined this. She couldn’t settle on any pronunciations, so she used them all. Sometimes the character was Ree-mo. Sometimes it was Ray-mo. Sometimes she rolled her R’s like she was in Spanish 101. She also pronounced Nino about three different ways, but really seemed to favor the Spanish pronunciation like El Niño. The characters are Italian Madia, not Spanish.

My favorite Camorra Chronicles Book

THIS IS MY FAVORITE CAMORRA SERIES BOOK. Yes you have to really be into morally grey, if not black men to love Remo.

Remo kidnaps Serafina on her wedding day. She is the niece of the Outfit’s boss (a rival mafia family). Remo gives Serafina the choice he only gives to women and she surprises him by picking the one he least expected. That is when he recognizes something in her.

Remo is the cruelest man she’s ever met and she intends to play his game and bring him to his knees, at least that was the point before the lines got blurred.

REMO’s BOOK WILL LIVE IN MY HEAD RENT FREE. 5 STARS WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH.
Tropes:
- Mafia romance
- Age gap
- Forced proximity

Respect Serafina's decision.

Repectfully... after catching up on Dante's book (born in blood series: Bound by the past) I seriously thought Serafina was just batshit crazy but After hearing Her POV. she deserves happiness. these mafia stories are addicting as hell and I'm here for it!!

Love love love!!

I didn’t think I could ever love Remo so much. And Serafina is just the perfect badass women.

my favorite of all

it's a must read, especially if you have read all the other twisted books and born in blood series. cora rielly is an amazing writer.

LOVE THE STORY

I don’t like the narrator, she is over dramatic 😳. I hope the next book doesn’t have her in it.

Serafina x Remo

Review Twisted Pride by Cora reilly
4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this book I read the book and then listened to the Audio book.
And I can say that this book holds you and you can't stop reading it until you finish.
I got emotional in this book of tears and that's hard to happen so I can say that I really loved this one.

Serafina how I was touched by her, seriously what a woman,

And I'm here getting emotional with serafina how strong this woman and the best life as children she is to give her family statement.

Serious people a tear coming out.
Greta and nevio renegades in clothes.
Who denies these children.

This book is very good, I'm reading non-stop I love books like this.
That you don't feel bored and want to finish.

Serafina my favorite from Cora.
But I wanted her to settle with her family 😩
But I understand her, she intriguing and everything to be with her family, her family plus them
Rejected her children, unfortunately her scene left the family and horrible to read.

And I also understand that her family suffered horrors oh my god.
Both sides can be understood.

Yummy bum paddle.
All your fault.

Strengths of the book
Remo and seraphine have a lot of chemistry I love them.

Samuel and Serafina and to be moved by the grass of the two.
Gemini are the cutest thing.

Perfect

Speechless

Simply speechless. What a story. You are so good, Cora! I loved the twists. Tor's voice is perfect; Charley brings the story of life. Wonderful!
