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.
Customer Reviews
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.
Ehh
I usually enjoy the suspenseful nature of a Zavarelli book, but things were just a little hard to keep track of this time around. I didn’t really connect with any of the characters, and that is pretty much always a deal breaker for me. The flashbacks got a little confusing in audio. The whole book was a little on the long side with everything but the kitchen sink thrown in.
This won’t keep me from reading something else by the author, this book just wasn’t my cup of tea.
4.5 of angst
I wholeheartedly recommend going into this book blind. Literally, all I read was the blurb, and got hooked. What happens in this book is nothing that you'll expect. There are so many twists and turns that you won't know what to believe. You really have to pay attention to the smallest of details. There's so much angst, longing, and even betrayal. Lyric, Bianca, and Madden's story is complicated, heart-wrenching, and so beautiful at the same time. So bring in your psychology-thinking hat because this one will make you put your brain to work. Despite me saying three names, this is a MF romance. You will understand why once you read it.
