Contempt by Sam Mariano
2.0
2 stars for me .
I read the book in hopes of Parker and Landon story, and I didn't get the memo that this is actually Hannah's [Parker's best friend] story. If Sam loved the side character so much, she should've released her book and not bothering giving a book for Parker and Landon at all. I was excited after reading the Parker's pov in undertow and preview of this book finally we're going to get another psychopath by Sam Mariano [PS my fav author] but the book has more screentime and plot about Hannah than Landon [ who is supposed to be MC]. And also ruining my favorite toxic couple i.e., Dare and Aubrey implying that they may not be end game. I swear to God if Aubrey and dare doesn't end up together as they should, I'll never read book by Sam Mariano. Also, I kinda felt Hannah is pathetic by being their maid and not standing for her and rejecting parker offer to move in with them.
Coming to the supposed to be MCs i.e., Parker and Landon I actually liked first half till they have sex when she was not easily giving into him and always scared of him. But after they had sex boom, she is like there was no past like at all. [he did try to force on her like more than 3 times and she easily give to him, so I am very disappointed]. I wanted her to fight and not give in so easily. Also, I didn't fell for him as I did with Carter or Dare or Calvin even Silvan. Also, I think parker was more annoying from the beginning. I think if they have more screentime and she didn't give in to him so easily like Zoey or Hallie or Sophie it would be defn 5 stars for me.
