Contempt by Bethany-Kris
5.0
First off, this book took me by storm! I loved seeing the development of these characters, more so Renzo, how he’d become a stronger, wiser man, washing away the past and embracing the future, even if he didn’t have a hand in deciding how it would happen. He was no longer the smart mouth street kid, destined to stay stagnant and forever struggling. Even though the mouth still remained, he became more redefined, the lessons he learned while the 5 years lingered between him and the love of his life, Lucia.
As for Lucia, she had grown up as well. No longer the emotional woman, even though her frustration with her father never died, you see he eclipse and growth of her, learning that forgiveness is just as important if not more, than holding the pain of a grudge forever.
And Lucian. The man, the myth, the father that never invoked himself in his children’s lives until his heart made him fumble into Lucia’s love life. What he thought was protection turned sour, clearly. But in the darkness, he made amends and more than orchestrated the path way to healing the hearts he’d broken. I imagined time and time again Lucian remembering that saying “this will hurt me more than you” which I feel rings true in this case.
Passion, romance, action and redemption. Those words continue to cycle in my mind after getting to the last page. It’s an exciting conclusion between the love affair that only weather the testament of time.
Lucia was right all along, she and Ren belonged together, and even though they had been apart for so long, time had made them absolutely perfect together!
Loved it! And you will too!!!
