Contempt (Sin City Salvation Book 3) Kindle Edition
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.

rescue dog. They end up rescuing each other since he was injured while being in the marines. The dog is on his last legs when he adopts him and when he finally gives up the fight it just brings to mind all of the pets that have passed on in my life and I mourned all over again with madden. Like I said am not finished but almost and I am sure it will blow my mind. Thank you for such a great read. The wait was worth it. You are truly a talented author.
1. There were so many chapters focused on the past, and while they were important, I felt like some of the scenes could have been cut out or combined in a few instances.
2. The ending was pretty fast, and I wanted a little more! It also has the same trope as the previous two books, and I was hoping for a little deviance from that.
Overall, I highly recommend the book and this trilogy as a whole.
Wow... I am not sure how I feel after this one... So many emotions have gone through me while reading this one!
This audio is done so well and I loved listening to it, I did it in one day!!
Madden is amazing, and I love him, but he did not make it easy... He has such a great big heart that you really can't help but adore him.
Lyric in this book is sometimes hard to like. But I can relate to her in the way. She has no idea of the life she had before and you can't fault her for that.
I really enjoyed this story and all the twists and turns. When you thought there couldn't be anymore, BAM!
I will be going back to listen to the other previous books.
Madden is real; flaws, scars, and bad habits abound. But he's also caring, responsible, and a man to be reckoned with. I love seeing his growth from the teenage years with flashbacks to now and how he's dealing with the messes in his life.
Bianca is almost hard to like at times and appears weak, since we mainly get to know her through her behaviors in Madden's eyes and her current state. However, is easy to see why she acts the way she does. It's hard to fight to get out.
There's a bit that doesn't jive with Adam and how Madden sees him, especially since they grew up together and the person Adam had as a role model, but it's hard to admit concerns when it's family. I loved Zoe and that we got to see friends from the past and meet new ones. I can't wait for the next book from the author, regardless of what it is!
This book is told half in the past and half in the present alternating every other chapter. I hated the way he treated her in the past chapters, and I hated the way he treated her in the present chapters. When the truth comes out, I felt he needed to be on his knees begging forgiveness for ever doubting her and he never really does. He feels bad—but that was not nearly good enough.
One of the main things I do not understand is that Madden displayed zero common sense when he found her. Instead of being relieved that the love of his life is alive—he’s enraged because he thinks she hung him out to dry for his brother’s murder. He doesn’t believe she has amnesia. But here’s the thing- when he found her, she was literally starving and living on the streets for the past five years. It’s not like she’s been out living her best life. She was barely recognizable because she was so malnourished. But all he cares about is himself and that he believes he’s been wronged.
Also— when she loses her memory AGAIN towards the end —I was just over it. From that point there was still over 100 pages to go and it just dragged. I did not find the end satisfying at all.
🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
A. Zavarelli killed me with this one. My heart hurts. I feel so freaking bad for Kodiak and Bianca. 😭 I totally DETEST both of their families with a passion. This is a dark romance.
"Our love has withstood time, distance, war, blood, and betrayals by those with ill intent."
Star crossed lovers. Their love journey was definitely not an easy one.
Kodiak (Madden) and Bianca (Lyric) met at the ranch where the parents couldn’t be bothered to deal with their "troubled" kids, so they sent them away to rot, according to Kodiak. Bianca was already promised to someone else, but they couldn't resist each other. They became each other's home, but can never be together.
Bianca died, and Kodiak was released from jail for unaliving someone. 5 years later, Kodiak was still grieving Bianca, but he came across her, alive. What would he do to her when she lied to him?
One thing that got me annoyed a bit was the past and present chapters. 😅 But it works for this story.
Highly highly recommended.
