Publisher's Summary

From USA Today best-selling author A. Zavarelli comes an enemies to lovers romance full of blackmail, emotional twists, and explosive chemistry.

From the shadows, I’ve tracked her every move.

I was just supposed to watch her. But now, I can’t stop. 

She’s my obsession. My addiction. My poison. 

Watching her isn’t enough. 

The savage in me won’t be satisfied until I take her and make her mine. 

One taste and I’m hooked. Too bad for her...I’m never letting her go.
 

Stalked. Hunted. Captured. 

He took me from my life and locked me away in his compound. 

The ex-con. The big bad biker. Inked, bearded, and inhumanely sized. 

And yet, every time he looks at me, I melt.

This broken beast hides demons behind those brutal eyes. I hate him...and I crave him. His touch, his words, his lips. 

When my enemies come for me, he vows to protect me as long as I do what he says. I’ll be secure in this prison he created for me. 

But who will protect me from him? 

Convict is a full length stand-alone within the Sin City Series and has a complete ending.

5 Don't let the past spill into your future STARS!

Though this is a standalone I recommend listening in order as both books are worth the listen! There are dark themes throughout the book and both characters come from tragic backgrounds. Blackmail, secrets, and captivity make this an interesting story. In book 1 Birdie came across as immature but as you get to know her you realize her actions make sense. Ace did not disappoint once he made his claim!

Overall 5 stars and recommend if you like flawed characters and a tortured hero.

Narration 5 amazing stars! Both narrators are able to convey the emotion the characters are feeling pulling you completely into the story.

WOW SIMPLY AMAZING

I absolutely LOVED Confess. Thought I couldn't in any way love Birdie's story as much as Gypsy's. I was wrong. Convict was simply put, AMAZING. Man, I loved Ace so much. His struggles and Birdies struggles came together to evolve perfectly. The chemistry was intense. I am such a huge fan of A. Zavarelli now. I was before but now, I AM OBSESSED. 5 STARS!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. And the narrators were perfection! *member of Audiobook Obsession Review Group*

Convict proved too darkly, heartbreaking for me.

There's a fine line between love and obsession. With Convict, Zavarelli doesn't just blur it, she wipes it clean away. Shedlock and Navarro have their work cut out in turning Birdie and Ace into likeable people, but they definitely succeed in forming them into unforgettable ones. Though eerily, haunting, Convict proved too darkly, heartbreaking for me.

Dark Romance - Romantic Suspense

Convict by A. Zavarelli is a dark romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Kelsey Navarro and Aaron Shedlock.

This is the second book in the Sin City Salvation series and each book can be read as a standalone.

I absolutely love this series! A. Zavarelli really knows how to pull you into a story. I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed the relationship between Birdie and Ace. Their relationship started off rocky but you couldn’t help but root for them.

I can’t for the next book in the series Contempt to be released.

Kelsey and Aaron did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would highly recommend this book if you love dark romances, romantic suspense, age gaps, or enemies to lovers.

I loved this book

I thought that this book and the narrators were fantastic! There are some dark parts that may be a trigger for some listeners but they are necessary to the story and the character’s development.
While this book can be a stand-alone, I think listeners would enjoy it more if they have already read or listened to the first book, Confess.

Kept me interested through to the end!

Both narrators were believable. I really enjoyed Kelsey Navarro's part. I was wholeheartedly transported by Birdies character. Eye opening (to say the least) to a horrific problem that still goes on to this day.

Revenge never tasted so sweet

Convict is a must read/listen to all the dark romance lovers out there. I am absolutely going to have to devour Confess because I need a Gypsy fix now but wow!

Convict has it all. Dark romance with all the gooey wonderful feelings and a whole lot of messed up backstory. Birdie and Ace are meant to be and the strugvle to prove it to themselves and others is intense. Full of feelinvs,Convict, will jave you stumbling along in the dark on this epic tale of revenge and love.

Great Book!

Entertainment from start to finish. Ace and Birdie's story was a beautiful tragedy played out until it produced a smooth harmony.

emotional

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes
Story comment: good pace, well constructed story and interesting characters. Birdie is very independent and doesn't think she needs protection and Ace has vowed to protect her.

Kelsey Navarro and Aaron Shedlock have done a great job on the narration. The rhythm, inflections and intonations all worked to bring the book and characters to life.

Dark romance

This is a dark sexy romance between two tortured souls who find each other. Hero is hired to follow and watch over the heroine. They have this naturally developing love story that worked so well for this story.

Loved this

I love a dark romance and this didn’t disappoint. Kelsey and Aaron are phenomenal and two of my favorite narrators!! It keeps you on your toes from the start and you don’t want to turn it off.

Well, that escalated quickly ....

I enjoy dark romance, but I don't tend to go for 'bad boy' romance as I find it a bit samey - but this one is cut from an entirely different cloth. With cameos from characters from 'Confess' earlier in the series, this book would still work as a stand alone.

There's plenty of angst, the story has a fast pace to it, the supporting characters enrich the story well.

That ending though.... there's a reason thath I titled this review as I did and all I'm going to say is you know SOMETHING has to happen when both main characters acknowledge their feelings (at least to themselves) and there's quite a bit of book left.

The holy grail for me is a book where I don't see the ending (I mean it's romance, there's obviously a HEA, but how it's established) from halfway through the book. This delivered on that so well.

NB: there are drug references throughout, no issue for me but worth mentioning

Wish I'd Listened to "Confess, Book 1," 1st

Both are broken. Both never been shown how to love another person. Both didn't trust others that wasn't family or like family; so they didn't trust each other. So, How are two person who had all odds against against them, go to come together?

This novel had me suck from Opening Credits until Audible said it's closing line; "Audible hope's you enjoy this program." I definitely want to listen to "Convict, Book 2" again after I have the opportunity to listen to "Confess, Book 1;" the story about Gypsy and Lucian, so that I can better understand the whole story about the sisters. I had questions about a few things I believe I would have had the answers from Book 1. This's my 1st novel written by
A. Zavarelli but I'm sure it won't be my last. I'm immediately in love with her writing skills. She has mad talents, she's a natural.

I was choked up. On the edge of my seat. Mad. Sad. Cried. I was rooting for the underdawgs.

I want to give "Mad Props" to Kelsey Navarro and Aaron Shedlock on their AMAZING SKILLS to the contribution of their narration. They were perfect for this novel, absolutely PERFECT. This novel was written with them in mind. They delivered EXCEPTIONAL voice for all the characters!!!

Amazing!

This book was great. I loved how the book really grabbed my attention right from the start. The characters were well developed I enjoyed the chemistry between them. The story was suspenseful and keeps you guessing with all its twist and turns. 🎧AudiobookObsession

A Zavarelli is a master!

Ace and Birdie’ story is complicated and full of secrets and hurts... on both sides.

He was abused as a child because his mother got pregnant by another man. Birdie was abused as well... by a man who was supposed to take care of her.

Gypsy, Birdies sister, Lucian’s wife asks him to protect Birdie... and he does... in his way. And the fireworks, both good and bad, begin!!!

I loved this story and had difficult stopping when I needed sleep... but it was so worth the listen and loss of sleep. A. Zavarelli is a master.. her writing is very detailed and makes you think. I love reading/listening to her stories!!

Awesome

I was hoping for the two of them to hook up! Another well written, well narrated book!

Can’t wait to get more books by this Author and narrators in my ears

What a great start to 2020

This was a great way to begin my listening year for 2020.

This book kept me wrapped up and wanting to hear it until it was finished but adulting got in the way and I had to listen to it in parts o er these first days of the new year!

Ace and Birdie are two halves of the same tortured soul. They each dealt with too much growing up and I believe they each did what they thought was right to live. Such horrific childhoods and each felt they were too damaged to be good for anyone else but together they just became each other’s it person. Deeply moving book, and narrated awesomely by Kelsey Navarro and Aaron Shedlock. First duet I heard by these two and throughly believed each of their performances so much and they really made me feel this book. I was so lucky to have won a copy of this book and may need to run out and get CONFESS which is another stand alone in the series and is about Birdie’s sister Gypsy and Ace’s friend and saviour Lucian. It may be a series but each book can be heard or read totally on it’s own, well worth the time spent on this one! So happy to have dived into Birdie and Ace’s story and can’t wait for more of these two and the family they created.

Well worth an audible credit❣️

Ace & Birdie's story

🎧 Audiobook Obsession Reviewer

OMG another great book by A Zavarelli. I was so looking forward to this one as I found wanted to know more about Birdie and Ace as we got to meet them in Confess book 1.

Birdie has had a rough life and is in all kinds of trouble so when Gypsy and Lucian send her with Ace for protection fireworks happen. Ace has his own issues and the 2 have such a great connection. This book has lots of dark parts but the relationship between them is so intense. Plenty of hot steamy bits.

Aaron Shedlock has the perfect voice for Ace. Kelsey Navarro was great as Birdie you could feel all her anger and pain and love. They both did a great job at bringing the story to life.

A great dark listen.x

Sin City Salvation Book Two

Sin City Salvation Book Two.

Birdie has lived a hard life, so when her sister, Gypsy, allows Ace to take Birdie away, Birdie is distraught. She believes this means that Gypsy has given up on her. Ace, however, knows that it is for Birdie's own good. He knows that he might not be able to keep her happy, but he can definitely keep her safe. At his compound, Birdie discovers how far Ace truly went to keep tabs on her when her friend turns out to be working for Ace. Can she get over his high-handedness, or will she run, again?

If you're looking for a story about an honest biker and a girl who has always been left behind, this is the book for you!
