Ame esta novela. Fue una conclusion perfecta para esta trilogia, ademas me gusto mucho que Bethany Kris no le haya restado importancia a la enfermedad de John ni que lo haya mejorado " magicamente ", como suele pasar en otras historias con enfermedades similares.

Leer las escenas de John, Siena y Lucky fue adorable, me encanto la familia que han formado, sinceramente, esta pareja es de mis preferidas de las que ha creado la autora.

Ahora no se que novela leere, lo que si se es que tengo ganas de seguir en este mundo de mafia, traicion y manipulacion, por lo que continuare con alguno de los otros libros de la escritora.

Muy muy recomendable, un cierre ideal para una trilogia muy hermosa.

This book was just what I needed to bring me back into John and Siena's world. Into their romance that is as unique as it is genuine. And seeing them still be so...there for each other, be the one the other leans on through everything, made me smile to be wrapped up in their love again. The author was able to beautifully weave other characters from different stories into the book so effortlessly. And I got to feel that old Marcello family love, which never, ever gets old.
There were ups and downs, and through it all, John and Siena's love sustained them, bettered them. This book was exactly what I wanted it to be and more.

The extended novella added to the John + Siena duet is such a great bonus. I love seeing the couple after their hea. It’s getting a glimpse into their life and seeing first hand how even after the hea life goes on. It is the perfect addition to a captivating duet!

Esta especie de epílogo me gustó bastante, no lo voy a negar.

John sigue avanzando con sus negocios, sigue con su rutina que lo mantiene tranquilo y sigue profundamente enamorado de Siena.

Me frustró un poquito lo defensiva que se pone Siena cuando preguntan por John, tipo entiendo que el quiera que algunas cosas sean privadas, pero siento que explicarle eso a su familia es mejor y que igual cuando preguntan no es con mala intención.

Fue triste lo de la enfermedad de Leonard, pero eso trajo a Cree, un nuevo personaje que me pareció interesante.

Algo más que me pareció interesante fue la mención de Ginevra viviendo con dos hombres, no me esperaba una relación poliamorosa (si es que es eso).

Introdujeron más a Pink y eso me gustó porque la verdad quiero leer su libro.

También pusieron en el frente y al centro a Michel, esa si no es una historia que me llama mucho la atención, pero que supongo igual leeré.

La manera en que John siempre anda tocando o besando a Siena es muy linda. Pero lo mas lindo fue su reacción cuando nació el bebé y quedó loco de amor.

Creo que fue un final bastante bonito para ellos.

Agradecida con Bethany por crear una pareja tan bonita como la de John y Siena. Sin duda alguna de las parejas más tiernas que he tenido el placer de leer. Como saben de las reseñas de los dos primeros libros, Siena me ha encantado.

Este libro me pareció el complemento perfecto para la segunda historia. Siempre tendrán problemas por la bipolaridad de John, pero es una pareja que no se deja desanimar por eso y son felices por el apoyo mutuo que se dan.

Les recomiendo mucho su historia, no se arrepentirán de leerla.

Pd: Hubo decisión que no esperaba, pero que no es mal recibida, sobre Michel. Fue toda una sorpresa verlo aparecer en esta historia y más en la posición en la que estaba.

This is a very sweet extension of the story of John and Siena. Siena is one of my fav characters. Shes strong, loving, caring, supportive, and she loves John so much inspite of his fall outs and I also liked how attentive , caring and protective John is when it comes to Siena, how he took care of her when she was ill.

I loved reading this book and I'm looking forward to reading many more book by the author.

I loved the story of Siena and Jhon and I will always remember it for the beauty and strength of the love that the author managed to transmit to me.

It was beautiful to see how they flourished as people and as a couple despite adversity and the number of obstacles they had to overcome on their way to happily ever after.

Quise leer esto lentamente porque no quiero dejar de leer sobre esta pareja pero así como lo comencé, lo terminé.

Amo cuando Bethany nos da un vistazo de la pareja después de que les dio su final feliz. En esta ocasión nos dio varias escenas de John y Siena desde antes de que se enteraran de que iban a tener un bebé hasta después de que nace su primer hijo, con algunas escenas extras.

John sigue con sus negocios, involucrando a Michel y Pink en ellos. Y todavía sigue muy enamorado de Siena.

Lo mismo con Siena, ella se quedó con los negocios Calabrese y sigue haciendo sus libros. Y todavía muy enamorada de John. Aunque me molestó de ella que se pusiera un poco a la defensiva cada vez que le pregunten sobre John. Entiendo que quieran mantenerlo en privado entre ellos dos, pero no creo que este bien ocultarlo todo a la familia. Además no es que estén preguntando con mala intención.

Todavía luchaban contra algunas cosas pero eran un dúo y sabían que podían contar con el otro, o que estaría ahí para uno.

"Luciano “Lucky” Johnathan Marcello. No era el primero de su nombre. Ni siquiera el segundo o el tercero, pero John apostó que sería el mejor de todos modos."

Me encantó la familia que formaron. Lucky fue muy adorable y Lina es una traviesa.

Cosas que me dejaron con ganas de más:
>La relación de Ginevra con dos hombres, porque siendo sincera leía las sinopsis de dos ciertos libros y ahora tengo mucha más curiosidad de como se da esa relación.
>Pink. Sé que tiene un libro así que espero conocerlo eventualmente.
>Cree. No se quien es este hombre pero está metido en el crimen organizado de Las Vegas así que espero al menos algo de información sobre él.

Love this couple !

We loved this novella with John & Siena. What we love about this couple is that they seem all too real in a good way. We love seeing John opening up and spending more time with his family and not standoffish like he used to be. John is just one of those characters that are so easy to love, and our heart sometimes breaks because of daily struggles he has to contend with but, it just makes him all the more endearing to us and even more real.Siena and John are so perfect for one another, and we love seeing them so in love even after so many years of marriage and how their life has been evolving. This story was heartfelt and one we thoroughly enjoyed.

This was blissfully perfect.

If you loved this couple then you will enjoy this little extension to their love story!

John + Siena: Extended gives readers the inside scoop on the events in the epilogue of Disgrace. We’re given more heartwarming moments. More time with the Cousins (I love Andino & John's relationship). More scenes that show how perfect John and Siena are together.
We see the growth within the Marcello Family and the improvement of John’s overall mental health.

It just…made me so happy.

En este libro podemos leer una versión extendida del prólogo del segundo libro con escenas extras.

Amé las escenas de John con sus hijos. Y leer a Siena sintiendo todo ese amor, lealtad y devoción hacia John y su familia, me llena el alma. Estos dos merecían mucho ser felices y estar en paz.

Además, ambos están dejando entrar a su familia. Siena es cada vez más cercana a sus medias hermanas, pasa tiempo con su suegra y sus primas políticas. Y John, cada día se permite más confiar en su familia y encontrar un lugar seguro en ellos.

Ahora, John sabe que su familia va a estar para él, siempre.


Algo que amo de la autora es lo realista que fue al tratar el trastorno bipolar de John. No me voy a casar de decirlo.

I love it when Bethany-Kris gives us a more in depth look into the lives of the couples she's created. She more than delivered with John + Siena's extended novella, an addition which makes The Complete Duet absolutely perfect. After reading John + Siena: The Complete Duet, I highly recommend getting your fix on this ideal couple in this Extended Novella.

John + Siena: Extended by Bethany-Kris is an EPIC read and will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

I absolutely adored this little extension to duet! I'm all for updates in my favorite couples and this definitely did NOT disappoint. For me, the fact that not EVERYTHING after the HEA is perfect without conflicts or without little bumps here and there, makes the story better. Loyalty (John + Siena's first book) is one of my favorites books in the whole world and this follow up just made me love them even more. I'm so happy I got to visit them for a little while, I've missed them. I've missed the whole family really. If you can, please read John + Siena: The Complete Duet. I promise you, you won't regret it. And OMG can we talk about the cover? Absoluety stunning! Loved it.

...

¡Me encantó esta pequeña extensión del dueto! Me encantan las actualizaciones de mis parejas favoritas y esto definitivamente NO me decepcionó. Para mí, el hecho de que no TODO después del HEA sea perfecto sin conflictos o sin pequeños golpes aquí y allá, hace la historia mejor. Loyalty (el primer libro de John + Siena) es uno de mis libros favoritos en todo el mundo y esta novela me hizo amarlos aún más. Estoy muy feliz de haber podido visitarlos por un tiempito, los he extrañado. Realmente he extrañado a toda la familia. Si pueden, lean John + Siena: The Complete Duet. Te lo prometo, no te arrepentirás. Y OMG, ¿podemos hablar de la portada? Absolutamente impresionante! Me encantó.

Thiiis boook!! It was so good to come back to these characters and to the Marcello family!
The development of all these characters since we last saw them it’s just amazing!
The plot between John, Pink and Michel made me so happy! As for Cree, who knew?!
So good to come back to Siena and seeing the moment they found out about the baby, it was all so beautiful but at the same time I was always waiting for the next shoe to drop, since we know how hard change is for John

This was cute and sweet but it was mostly just extensions of scenes from the epilogue of their duet. I did like that the author made a point to show that there are good days and bad days when it comes to John and his bipolar and just because he got his happily ever after doesn't mean he's cured. I also appreciate that Michel is part of this story and has a part in the family after my rant for the last book.

Short, sweet, truly just an extension of the duet. I would recommend reading this immediately after finishing Disgrace (which is book two). You are getting a glimpse of life and how things play out for Siena and John after their HEA. Very quick read if you have the time to sit. In my case it took me the three days because I read it inbetween other books. I will love John and Siena forever.

Another amazing story by my favourite Canadian author. I love John because he is like so many of us who put a front on but are quaking, anxious or depressed on the inside. I hope BK never tires of the Marcellos, I look forward to every quote, novella and sequel.

Always wanted more from them

So glad this extended story was written about them! John and Siena had a rollercoaster of a start to their relationship. This wraps up their story perfectly and shows that they still have some bridges to cross but they can get through them together.

Perfecto!

Although I wished there was more in depth conversation about himself and his wife. Felt like this extra could have more details. Nonetheless, CHEF’S KISS!
