Good wrap up to the series!
This book is the showdown between Cane and Tristan. Tristan is the client of Cane who kept Adeline as a slave until he lent her to Cane. Cane was supposed to return Adeline to Tristan but when he balked at that Tristan took his brother Crow. Now Cane must do whatever it takes to get his brother back. Even if that means returning Adeline to Tristan.
This book was funnier than the others. I liked the comedy as well as the HEA for the two couples.

“We should have our butlers battle and see who wins,” Cane said. “My money is on Gerald.”

After putting the final 2 books off for 7 months I finally finished the series and wow. It was dark and twisted but I absolutely adore the Barsetti brothers and their women 🥺 Did I tear up at the end? Yes, I’m just glad they got their happy endings

This book was a battle with one of the best clients Crow & Cane had. Tristian had loan Adeline to Cane until he could pay the reminder balance for the weapons Tristian bought. As the 31 days comes to and end Cane was dreading returning Adeline back to Tristian.
A week later Cane realized he made a mistake and wanted his Bellissima back so he went to his brother and made the plans to over take Tristian's compound, with his Bellissima now back with him. Cane & Crow has killed all of Tristian men and hoping that Tristian is dead also. Soon they finds out that Tristian is alive and he has come after Crow.
Button tells Cane to do whatever he must do to get her husband back. What will Cane do to get his brother back, will that include giving up his Bellissima? Cane must make deals with his old crew but how much will it cost? Now bitter because Cane feels like he has lost everything will he ruin the only thing/relationship he has ever had?

I have something to say I read all six books I was obsessed from the start was excited that I would get cane story after all was said and done but then I got ( I even read all the books in a total of 4 days) :
Cane , Crow and Pearls side with the addition of the new comer Adelina I wasn't okay with that at first but then I got to this book and I came to piece with the story not being just about cane and his journey to love. Now if you read the first three books things kept changing with the characters eye colors and once I got to the third book well the whole thing was a grammar Nazi nightmare I mean I am not the best at writing things but that is what my husband is for!!!! I pushed forward and now I am at the end of the rode but here is there problem if you read the end of book three there was a epilogue that consisted of the end of Pearl and Crows story and well they had a little girl named Vanessa and a son name Constantine they also were pregnant with baby number three so it had been some time after the story ended and they got married that is all cool but also cane was single at the end that is understandable if she didn’t know, she was writing another set of books but then you get to the end of book 6 and guess what they have a baby boy and poor Vanessa got a sex change. I am wanting to be a writer and I feel like she totally messed with her readers heads and the characters we came to love over time. Also Cane was still and arms dealer and Cane and Pearl saved people. Other then all the mess ups I read and loved but now I don’t want to read again and don’t know if I can read anymore of her books.

What?? What??? What?!! I felt like I wasted my time reading the series!
Author is not consistent at all, are you sure it’s a same person writing the 1-3 books and 4-6 books??
Epilogue of Button n Pain clearly showed that Crow n Pearl have 1 eldest daughter named Vanessa, second born named Constantine and the third one on the way.
Crow wanted to have more babies but Pearl said the third one is gonna be the last baby.
Cane is still in arm dealer business and asking Crow for help.
But in the epilogue of Button n Grace, it seemed like Penelope got an amnesia or something because suddenly Pearl is eager to have 4 babies! And their firstborn is a boy named Conway.
And Cane is no longer doing business in arm dealer.
The worst of it, she made a character of a notorious leader who skin people’s head and kept their skull named CONSTANTINE.
I thought Constantine gonna be a nice guy and be their friends and died while helping Adelina got out and THAT IS HOW CROW NAMED HIS KID CONSTANTINE.
But nope.
Oh maybe a year later Conway would be dead or something so Pearl have another baby who is a girl named vanessa (which means yeah she have 4 babies in total)
Adelina and Cane got divorced so Cane got into arm dealer business again.
You forgot to put those in the epilogue IV

I really liked the ending of this book series. I liked the characters. The only thing what annoyed me sometimes, was Pearl. I understand Penelope wanted her to come over as a really strong woman with a kind of power, that everyone listens to her. But seriously, some things Pearl did in this series was just stupid. Even though if she's a strong woman, nobody would do some things she's done.
I really liked the story of Cane and Adalina. But everything is so alike. It's so similar to the story of Pearl and Crow. I would've liked to see more different things with Cane, so the story would be a little different. But I liked the ending, now I will continue with the Lingerie series. I already started it, because I didn't know about "Buttons".

Buttons and Grace (Buttons #6) by Penelope Sky
The anticipated final instalment to the Button series and the Barsetti brothers
In attempt to save Adeline, Crow has now been taken. Cane must do everything he can to get his brother back from Tristan and if that means giving Adeline back then that is what he will do.
Cane finally reveals his true feelings to Adeline and her reaction devastates him. Pearl intervenes giving Adeline some much needed insight in hope she will change her mind.
I cannot divulge much more without giving too much away, but before you get to the HEA there is plenty of thrilling suspense and heart clenching moments to keep you eagerly flicking through the pages.
Penelope wraps up the Buttons series nicely giving me all the warm and fuzzy I needed to farewell the Barsetti brothers and their beloved.
MY THOUGHTS:
Book #4 was short enough that this one could have been condensed and included in.
There was a lot of fluff wrapping it up giving it a bitter sweet ending to the series. Do I really have to say goodbye to Crow and Pearl? I will forever associate the word button now with this story and although I enjoyed Pearl and Crow’s love story more, Cane’s had a story of his own that needed to be told.

5 STARS!!!!! Ok .. another amazing book just finished!! Although the end was pretty predictable .. Adelina and Cane would end up together we didn't know how they would end up together!! The most important is that Button series captivate you from beginning until the end!! Also Button series may be too dark for some readers but it is an excellent story of Barsetti brothers that move from dark to light!!

Botones y gracia ha sido un final explosivo, rompe corazones y romántico en la serie Botones, llevándonos a través de los sentimientos de los personajes muy profundo como en cada libro anterior.
Comenzamos con los nervios a flor de piel por el saber que pasaria con Crow, después la angustia por Cane y su sufrir, al igual que por Adelina. Leer los epílogos ha sido lo más hermoso, 2 hombres cuáles sus intereses solo eran el poder y la venganza, cambiar y dejarlo y darlo todo por quienes se convirtieron en los amores de su vida, 2 de las mujeres más fuertes que nada a través de sus destinos, formando sus respectivas familias.
NO PUEDO CREER QUE LA SERIE HAYA LLEGADO A SU FIN! Extrañare mucho estos personajes.

Los 3 primeros libros, durillos pero bien, el cuarto no podía con ella pero seguí con la historia, que es muy parecida a la anterior. Eso si la traducción pésima, el epílogo del tercer libro con el sexto no tiene nada que ver. Me da pena que una historia que me gustó y me engancho, lo repitan para vender mas y en un sitio dicen una cosa en otra dicen lo contrario.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

While I read this in one sitting, I still can't give this 5 stars because there are a lot of inconsistencies.
First, and I keep mentioning this, is the Barsettis seem like Americans. There's no trace of Italian in their speech, and even Cane calling Adelina "Bellissima" just didn't cut it.
Second, and I also mentioned this, the currency is always is dollars when they're living in Italy.
I could go on and on but what really bothered me was the epilogue in Buttons and Pain. I really went back to it and based on that, their first born was a girl named Vanessa followed by Constantine. However, in this story, their first born is Conway (again, no trace of Italian) so what gives?
Also in that epilogue, it seems like Cane was still single since he was eyeing someone. If he had a woman in his life, he wouldn't be interested in another, given that the woman is Pearl and Crow's guest.
In this story, Cane gets the love of his life and they have a son together. They named him Carter (so American!)
I have nothing against America or Americans, but it would be more plausible if the author just mentioned that 2 American brothers migrated to Italy and decided to build a business there.
I may have misguided assumptions seeing as I have not been to Italy (but I'd definitely love to go), but if someone were born and raised there, won't they speak in their native language most of the time? Just a thought.

First problem with this book, which happened with the epilogue of book three and this final not at all agree. If Penmelope Sky reads this review, please explain the final change to me, In relation to Adelina and Cane, the couple decided that it was not a book that surprised me, the plot became very repetitive and I continue that this ending was wrong, I know that writing books It is not an easy job but I should read the previous books to write the other books well.

I have mixed feelings about this installment. Cain seemed so soft and mushy. He made a complete 360 from the other installments. I know he's in love but that love seemed to have totally emasculated him. He seemed to have completely hit rock bottom after the split.
Cain and Crow's relationship have improved greatly. And that's a plus. Lots of new things happening in this installment. Lots of exciting things!
Four stars!

Je mets deux étoiles parce que j’aime Crow et Pearl !
Mais sinon, bien que Cane a réussi à avoir une mini mini place dans mon coeur, j’ai vraiment pas apprécié Adelina ce qui m’a fait soufflé fort.
En bref, Crow et Pearl resteront les seuls, je les aime tellement et voir la suite de leur vie à travers ce spin off, c’était incroyable !
Je n’étais pas au courant mais j’avais lu Muse en Lingerie avec le fils de Pearl et Crow ! Je m’en vais lire la suite de ce spin-off spin-off !

Cane y Adelina
No se , la verdad es que la historia acabó justo igual que la anterior .
Ambas historias se me hicieron super parecidas y eso le quita como el plus.
De las dos parejas mi fav fue Crow y Peal y sinceramente ame que en estos nos siguieran mostrando más sobre su historia y como van creciendo como pareja.

That was a 300 pages epilogue ... Everything was done, the plot and all but apparently a third act breakup was "needed". It felt like the worst way to conclude a series that I loved.

Recibí este libro por parte de Hartwick Publishing a cambio de hacer una opinión honesta. Muchísimas gracias.
Soy muy afortunada porque recibí el primer libro de la serie por parte de Hartwick Publishing y ahora recibo también este último cerrándola.
Desde el primer libro quedé encantada con esta serie. La autora ha creado personajes muy buenos, tanto los malos como los buenos. El tema es uno que no me hace ni tantita gracia y que para nada empatizo con el, sin embargo no puedo dejar de apreciar la manera en que su autora me atrapó haciéndome querer y admirar ese coraje y fuerza de voluntad de las protagonistas y la forma en que sin apresurarse va transformando a los protagonistas masculinos. Cane lo odie en los libros de Crow y Pearl, en este último libro que cierra la serie y su trilogía (la primera es de Crow y Pearl) me ha hecho que le tome un poquito de cariño, no tanto como para adorarlo pero si para haber disfrutado su personaje. Como en previos libros el tema es fuerte y seguramente no para todo tipos de lector, pero si se los recomiendo, léanlo con mente abierta y solo dejándose llevar por la escritura y lo que su autora nos muestra, puedo asegurarles que la lectura se disfruta en su justa medida sin que con ello estemos de acuerdo con la trama principal o el sufrimiento de ciertos personajes. Como nota a resaltar debo decir que hay algunas cosas que no coinciden, lo menciono porque el final del tercer libro de la serie hay hechos y ciertos nombres que no concuerdan con el final de este libro 6 y que deberían hacerlo. Son pequeños detalles que no influyen mi calificación pero que si que me dejaron cuestionando que su autora lo haya pasado por alto.

Exellent
This series is amazing, loved all six books though Cane's story was pretty predictable, I knew Adelina and Cane would end up together what I didn't know is how they would end up together. I didn't expect her choice once free but, knew it would change. I like the follow up and closing the loose ends with button and Crow. Excellent story, two strong women and how they brought their men to their knees. Now it is four stars because the epilogue of book four has a pregnant Button her and Crow are parents to Vanessa (5yo), Constantine (3yo) and Julia a slave they saved. In book six we have Button pregnant with their first child, she gives birth to a baby boy who they name Conway. The whole thing confused the hell out of me. I am not sure if I am the only one that noticed but that was why the four stars. Also book six ends early and we are given a freebie of boss lady, I tried to get I to it, I did read it but, it was kind of lame. The Buttons series is one of the best series I have read. The sex is hot,the characters are strong and beautiful, the drama is amazing. Loved it and highly recommended this series!

An amazing ending for a fantastic series. I have so many mixed emotions. One things for sure is I'm so sad that this series has come to and end. At the same time I'm super excited that I was able to experience and witnesses the transformation of the Barsetti brothers. Of course things weren't perfect and at time you felt like you were on a emotional rollercoaster. But I loved being on that journey with Crowe and Pearl Cane and Adelina too. Filled with plenty of drama, intrigue, and of course steamy romance and we can't forget the edge of your seat action. The series wrapped up nicely I'm definitely going to missed the Barsetti brothers. Hopefully will see them again in the future but this time through the eyes of their kids. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no minority compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.

Amo los finales felices, ya el mundo es bastante horrible como para tener también libros con finales así.
Estoy muy contenta de terminar la saga, aunque sí es una historia muy fuerte con temas como la trata de blancas, también es muy entretenido.
No creo que sea un libro para todos pero si que es una historia buena.

The summary doesn’t do this story justice, but it at least sets the tone for what we’re going to get. We know that the relationship between Adelina and Cane is one that’s destined to fail, and it’s more painful to live through than the roller coaster that was Crow and Pearl’s story. the notion of Cane finally having Adelina in a secure place is a nice notion, but one that doesn’t have much sound foundation.
We spend a lot of this story wanting to see a happy ending, but that’s impossible. Tristan isn’t dead, and being able to get Adelina back from him was a set up. one that was planned and was more like a test than anything else. What comes of it is Crow being kidnapped and tortured, with the only solution being giving up Pearl as a trade. We all know that she’s not an option, which means that we have to prepare ourselves to say goodbye. Nothing for Cane is panning out in this book – he loses the girl he loves because she doesn’t love him back, and he’s losing his brother because there’s no way to make a trade like that.
Crow’s only job in life is to protect Pearl, and so he sends her away with Lars which was maybe the smartest move ever. An added twist factors into things now too – being that of a new Barsetti on the way, and we know that things will get even more crazy. The connection that Pearl and Crow have makes this story rooted so deeply in all things that fairy tales are made of, and we want to see that play out in a good way, but have a bleak view of the future.
The mission to get Crow back is a suicide mission once they realize that Tristan has been setting them up time after time, and it’s getting BAD. The solve, thankfully from the sane thoughts of Adelina and Pearl are to trade their arms business for the help of the Skull Kings and, which means that Cane again loses something important, but maybe gets his brother back.
From this point on, we see a depressed and dejected Cane, a man who’s heart is broken, who’s soul is broken, who has no professional purpose in life. He gets angry, resents Adelina for her feelings, and agrees to let her go back home. It’s not what his heart tells him to do, but he has to do it for her. Even with Crow and Pearl reassuring him that things will work out, it’s an impossible thought to him.
If there’s one thing that we’ve learned from all of the stories by our author, it’s that no two relationships and plot lines are the same. What panned out in one way for one duo will not be the case for another, so while there is so much weight against how things netted out for Crow and Pearl, we know that it can’t work out that easily for Cane and Adelina. Everything that we’ve seem between them have been on a different level, so their ending to their story has to be different as well.
We still get moments of sweet romance and tenderness which is unique, all while still seeing the same rage and anger that’s the Italian trait. Both carry this story through and certainly kept me beyond engaged that i was able to finish it in just one day. I can’t wait to see how things continue since there has to be more of the Barsetti story somewhere.

The solve, thankfully from the sane thoughts of Adelina and Pearl are to trade their arms business for the help of the Skull Kings and, which means that Cane again loses something important, but maybe gets his brother back.
From this point on, we see a depressed and dejected Cane, a man who’s heart is broken, who’s soul is broken, who has no professional purpose in life. He gets angry, resents Adelina for her feelings, and agrees to let her go back home. It’s not what his heart tells him to do, but he has to do it for her. Even with Crow and Pearl reassuring him that things will work out, it’s an impossible thought to him.
If there’s one thing that we’ve learned from all of the stories by our author, it’s that no two relationships and plot lines are the same. What panned out in one way for one duo will not be the case for another, so while there is so much weight against how things netted out for Crow and Pearl, we know that it can’t work out that easily for Cane and Adelina. Everything that we’ve seem between them have been on a different level, so their ending to their story has to be different as well.
We still get moments of sweet romance and tenderness which is unique, all while still seeing the same rage and anger that’s the Italian trait. Both carry this story through and certainly kept me beyond engaged that i was able to finish it in just one day. I can’t wait to see how things continue since there has to be more of the Barsetti story somewhere.

Voilà la conclusion de cette longue saga d’abord déclinée autour de Crow et Pearl puis ensuite, en ajoutant le frère de Crow et Adelina, la femme qui va prendre de plus en plus d’importance pour lui. Cela fait six tomes qu’il vaut mieux lire dans l’ordre. Comme souvent dans les sagas de dark romance, le passage à une romance plus classique n’est pas forcément facile. On le sent ici, comme les personnages que sont Cane et Adelina ne sont pas aussi forts que les précédents. La preuve est que l’auteure a dans ces trois derniers tomes laissé une large place à Crow et Pearl dont la personnalité est très puissante.
Le roman commence où le dernier s’était arrêté. Si vous ne connaissez pas la fin du tome précédent, n’allez pas plus loin dans cette chronique qui contient des spoilers.
Crow a en effet été enlevé par un ennemi renversant alors les critères habituels. C’est l’homme, celui qui est puissant et assure la protection de celle qu’il aime qui est kidnappé et torturé. Tout repose alors sur Cane. Ce tome est aussi celui de la réconciliation et de la constitution d’une paire de frère qui vont devenir très unis alors qu’ils ne l’étaient pas du tout au début de cette saga. Cane est un homme violent à la base qui a profondément changé. Il n’a pas la force de son frère ni son impact mais il est une sorte de soldat brillant qui va voler au secours de son frère. cette relation fraternelle qui s’épanouit est très réussie dans le roman.

Oficialmente, he terminado la serie de los hermanos Barsetti.
Lo había dejado pendiente porque sentí que me iba a dar un bloqueo, ya que me había leído los anteriores 5 de seguido.
Fue un gran libro, me encantó poder seguir leyendo a Crow y Pearl, a pesar de que este se enfoca más en la vida de Cane. Creo que en una anterior reseña ya había dicho que de los dos Barsetti, me enamoré más de Cane, pero eso no significa que no me guste Crow, obviamente los dos son un espectáculo de hombres.
El final no es nada del otro mundo, ya sabía como iba a terminar porque empecé con la historia de sus hijos, entonces pues era muy obvio.
De esta serie me encantó el ambiente, es muy satisfactorio leer como se desarrolla un mundo de mafia, sin que los personajes estén totalmente involucrados.
En fin, fue un buen libro, lo recomiendo. Esta autora merece muchísimo más reconocimiento 💕. Si recomiendo que lean las advertencias ⚠️ antes de comenzar a leer.

okay j’avoue je suis un peu peiné de quitter tout cet univers MAIS j’ai vu qu’il y avait une suite genre spin-off avec leurs enfants (6 tomes déjà je crois ?) donc est ce que je vais courir pour les lire ? oui.
sinon bon c’est de la dark en mode « je suis un homme possessif, t’es à moi,… » donc ça me fait souvent lever les yeux au ciel mais il y a ce côté addictif qui fait que c’est impossible de lâcher le livre et qu’en quelques heures tu le finis

Wow, 6 books in this series, What started as a very very dark and messed up story has transformed along with the lives and mindsets of the Barsetti family, While I do miss the original twisted, messed up feel (I'm just weird like that), it's been quite a journey and it's about time these guys all get their happy ever after. I look forward to whatever books come from this author in the future.

I thought that this was a great wrap up to the Buttons Series. We finally see both Crow and Cain settle down with the right woman and start their own families. It's been an exciting ride watching the Barsetti brothers fight for each other and for the ones they love. And I'm excited to see that there is a spin off series that follows their children.
