Contempt

Sin City Salvation, Book 3

By: A. Zavarelli

Narrated by: Stefanie Kay, James Anderson Foster

From USA Today best-selling author A. Zavarelli comes an angsty forbidden romance about second chances, forgiveness, and a love that conquers all.

Before the world knew me as a rock god, I was just the angry boy who stole her heart.

She was a good girl.

The forbidden fruit I wasn’t meant to taste.

Our stars were crossed, and fate had doomed us from the start.

She was promised to someone else.

I had her secret smiles.

Moments stolen in dark corners.

But I couldn’t have her future.

Destiny tore us apart, and all that remained was the ghost of her memory.

When she died, I did too.

But when I catch a glimpse of her five years later, alive and well, that love turns to hate as the bitter truth emerges.

She left me.

She lied.

And now, I’m going to make her pay.

This book is a standalone dark romance about a military veteran turned rock star hero and the girl who stole his heart and never let it go.

Don't mind me, just crying my eyes out rocking.

I'm only 3/4 of the way through this book and OH MY GAWD. With no spoilers I can promise you this story is one you won't want to stop listening to. I, honestly, have gotten irrationally angry when I have to turn it off. Clenching, gut wrenching, and a lil nerve pinching at times, this book has been an emotional rollercoaster and a suspense bomb all in one. A. Zavarelli you are a queen and I love/hate you for this. Going to listen to the rest of it and cry some more. As a longtime fan of this magnificent author I know I'll only need more tissues and ice cream nearby. I will gain 5 pounds just from stress eating over this couple that I officially adore. Brb will update when done.

Forbidden romance

This was my first book from A. Zavarelli. Although it is book three in the Sin City Salvation series, it can be read as a standalone.

Bianca and Madden’s story was an interesting tale of forbidden romance with second chance feels. This book was full of drama, tragedy and the chemistry was steamy. There were times I felt that their story dragged on, but overall I enjoyed it.

Stefanie Kay and James Anderson Foster did a nice job portraying the characters in this story.

Good

Loved this one! It was angsty and had me wanting more and more even as I kept devouring it! Definitely recommend!

Beautiful, heart-wrenching story!!

Contempt, an Audiobook by A. Zavarelli, is the mind-blowing story of Madden and Bianca. The love of his life died five years ago. She destroyed him…and now, he thinks she’s returned…unbelievably returned. He wants her to pay…he wants retribution….he wants revenge. But, he doesn’t anticipate the truth…

The internal dilemmas and traumas that they have both experienced in the past five years are unbelievable. There are so many lies, secrets, truths, shocks, traumas, and so much more that slowly unfolds in this gripping, shocking, heart-wrenching story. I did have some difficulty with the constant switches between the past and the present. It was necessary, but it was so frequent I sometimes lost track of whether it was past or present. Did not in anyway detract from this incredible story!!!!

This Audiobook was beautifully narrated by Stefanie Kay and James Anderson Foster. They are phenomenal!!! This story was stellar on its own…but, theses incredible narrators truly bring this story to a new level!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Listener Copy of this Audiobook.
