Contempt by Sam Mariano

1.0

Absolute disappointment. I didn’t care about Hannah’s character in EVEN IT HURTS but by the end of this book I fucking loathe her. I don’t know who wanted Hannah’s book but I am definitely not one them. Was this book about Landon and Parker or Hannah? Dear Sam, if you really wanted to write Hannah’s book this much, you should’ve done that instead of writing a filler book about her and calling it Landon and Parker’s book. Hannah had more time than both of the leads combined. For heavens sake, I would’ve waited until Hannah book if I wanted to read about her. This was supposed to be about Landon and Parker but they ended up being side characters in their own book. Definitely the worst book I’ve read from Sam Mariano so far. Landon and Parker had so much potential and she completely ruined it because of Hannah.

Also the fact she just ruined Aubrey and dare just for Hannah. it looks dare is gonna be paired up with Hannah or they are gonna a throuple from the bonus chapter. But no matter what she does, dare and Aubrey are already ruined for me. A pity considering I really loved the first book. I had to force myself to finish this book.

It was just not Hannah, the book as a whole was extremely boring. I had such high such high expectations after reading the authors note. She was actually right, Landon and Parker were nothing like Zoey-Carter and Aubrey-dare. Even a piece unseasoned boiled chicken would have more personality and chemistry than these two did. so yes, they are absolutely nothing like the other two couples.

I can’t put into words about my disappointment at the fact they were both cameos in their own book and the author completely forgot about their development and chemistry because she was way too busy showing Hannah’s problem. it's such a pity, the book started out so well. I actually really liked the scenes Landon and Parker had together and it would’ve a great book if it was not for the Hannah-Dare drama.

Honestly, I feel lied to. Whatever the author promised us was not there all, this was Such a let down. Please do better dear author. I know Hannah is your favorite female lead but please stop ruining Aubrey and dare because of her. I’ve decided not to read any other books in this series until I am sure Sam has not ruined them to build Hannah’s book which I think is unlikely because she already ruined Landon-parker and dare-aubrey. So yeah, bye to any future books by Sam Mariano.
