A review by nean
Contempt by Bethany-Kris

5.0

Lucia continued to find ways to stay away from her family and not go home, she saw them and felt angry again, and the memories in New York reminded her of Renzo, she couldn’t stop thinking about him. Nearly five years on and the pain of losing him was still there.
Renzo knew he’s time was nearly up with the League and the one thing on his mind was Lucia, he didn’t know if she’d moved on or done with him, but he knew she hadn’t left his mind. The problem the League gave him a job and it was in California, where Lucia was. The League let him break rules but never the one about contact with Lucia, it was one he knew he couldn’t break.
Things start to show for both Lucia and Renzo, Renzo realises that his mark may have more than a passing interest in Lucia, and he wonders how her father is involved in The League. One thing he knows that hasn’t changed is his feeling for Lucia or their chemistry and he knows he has to tell her the truth.
Lucia can’t believe was Renzo tells her, what he’s been through, she’s never stopped loving him or doubting him throughout her hurt.
As things start to make more sense to Renzo, he knows the danger is worse, he only goal is to keep Lucia safe, even if that means losing her.
