The third and final book in the outstanding mafia/priest MM Forgive Me series.
Vitari Angelini knows selling a cache of Battaglia guns to a drug lord is not what Francis would call legal, but he’ll never find out. Besides, it’s for a good cause: Francis’s happy ever after. Happy endings aren’t for the likes of Vitari, and with his fake death recently exposed, it’s a matter of time before his father sends assassins.
But when the gun deal goes wrong, blowing their cover, all thoughts of a happy ending turn to dust in a desperate dash for the Colombian border.
The net is closing, there’s nowhere left to run, Colombia is not the place to hide when you’re the son of the notorious mafia don, and on top of everything… Francis has a secret.
A secret that will change their futures.
A secret that has Vitari wondering… whose side is Francis on?
*
Francis hoped Panama would be a fresh start. Again. But Vitari’s not interested in settling down or trying to blend in. Whatever he’s doing that keep him away most nights, it’s definitely illegal.
Then there’s the issue of the phone call … Francis should tell Vitari, but a confession like his might end them.
Thoughts of a future soon take a back seat when they’re hunted out of Panama and Vitari is taken for ransom. The mafia life they’d tried to run from is not going to let them go.
If ever there was a time to fight for love, it’s now. But to save Vitari, Francis is going to have to be everything he fears, and secretly desires. There are few men more dangerous than one on the road to Hell.
Giancarlo and the Battaglia, Sasha and the DeSica… They’re about to wish they’d never met a once-naive English priest.
Because Father Francis Scott will go to Hell to save his angel.
The stunning conclusion to the Forgive Me series brings everything together but will Francis and Vitari’s love withstand the horrible repercussions of Stanmore?

Vitari will be fighting against impossible odds, trying to save them, and Francis will be in his ear whispering shit like 'surrender' 💀💀💀💀Fuck you mean, surrender? I don't advocate for violence but Francis needed to be pistol whipped at LEAST once, and no. Not in that way he liked.
This guy calls up the people they're RUNNING from, to confess precisely HOW they fucked them over, BECAUSE they deserved to know? 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 Ain't no way, man. Ain't no way.
Saint of Disaster is a very very apt name for Francis.
“Sweet fuck, Francis.” He dragged his hand down his face. “How are you so fucking smart and stupid?”
Yes, Francis, tell us. Quite frankly, we also deserve to know.
I see now why they say love can kill you. Francis has tried to kill Vitari more than anyone else, I swear. Kill him with ineptitude and unknowing sabotage 😂😂😂😂😂
One of the funniest running gags in this trilogy is Francis' ability to always choose the more dramatic option. Funny for a priest from rural England.
90% of the time, if he'd just sat there and waited, Vitari would have come back to him. But noooo. Go meet Giancarlo. Go threaten Montague. Go wave a gun about in a Columbian drug lord's face💀
The amount of plot armor necessary to keep this man alive, I SWEAR TO GOD!!! His antics will kill Vitari long before any of their enemies.
The cutest thing though, Vitari is always into it. These two just fan the flames of each other's passion. They'll be in the worst possible serious situation and Vitari will be thinking.... 'Don't smile, Francis, don't smile.' And Francis will smile at him, because of course he does, and Vitari will think to himself how he can't even be mad at him because he loves that smile. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nah, it's the CUTEST.
And that was why Vitari loved him, among many, many reasons. Father Francis Scott would stand by him forever, no matter what.
I mean sure. But what a wild way to stand by someone
"Vitari was the sun he orbited."
I know my review makes it seem one sided but Francis was absolutely 100% always team Vitari. Even though he was misguided at times. But heck. Vitari was misguided at times too.
“Are you asking if using my reputation as a priest who kills people will be frowned upon by the Catholic Church? I think that ship has sailed into the horizon and been set upon by pirates.”
Ya think?
10/10 trilogy. Read it in two days, and can't wait for my memory of it to dim so I can do it all over again.
I loved every single second of this book. No notes. It was everything I wanted from the final installment in a series. There was drama, steam, intensity, heartbreak, heartwarming moments, mysteries were solved, and a HEA. I want the author to write a novella where we can see more of Angel and Francis after their HEA because I cannot get enough of them together!
