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 standalone within the Sin City Series and has a complete ending.more
Ace and Birdie’s story was a great follow up to Lucian and Gypsy’s.
A little over the top angsty for me, but goodness, I never would have imagined the turns this story took. Don’t you love it when an author surprises you like that?!
When I first met Birdie and Ace, I just knew I needed to hear their story and quite a story it is! I’m like a magnet to damaged and emotionally scarred characters and this author has mastered the brilliance of portraying them with a vulnerability and rawness that grips you in the heart and makes you feel with every emotion. In “Convict” we are all along with Birdie and Ace on that wild and crazy ride. Two damaged souls drawn together, a chemistry so igniting like a moth to a flame, and yet tormented by a past that denies them from moving on to a future. Ace is a badass biker, tasked with protecting Birdie, but Birdie is badass in her own right… a con artist like her sister, going a step beyond to save them from the terrible past that chases and haunts them every day. Birdie and Ace’s need for each other, and to protect what is theirs, gives them the strength to overcome and in turn be each other’s salvation. This book was every bit as addicting as the first, and although it could be read as a standalone, I highly suggest reading “Confess” first for a broader understanding of everything. I’m obsessed with this world and characters that this author has created with this series, and I hope there may be more in the future!
This was absolutely fantastc it sucked me in from start to finish and so many twists and turns even some you didnt see coming.
These 2 character’s Huck & Birdie are such broken souls that keep secrets and the way the arthur tells their story you can’t help, but feel their pain. Oh geez this book was so good just when you think these 2 were going to get their happy ending they both so deserve something would happen and go so wrong. This is definitely a must read you need to pick it up and read it find out for yourself.
“He was annoying and rude and condescending, and together we were about as volatile as fire and gasoline.”
After reading the first book in this series I’ve been so excited to get my hands on Convict. The author has my number, never failing to keep me hungry for more. Feeding my addiction to broken bad boys with demons rattling their cages. She lures me in with darkness but never fails to give me hope in the form of an unlikely love forged in pain and hopelessness.
I can’t give you details, especially when the identities of the characters are not even disclosed in the synopsis. Yes, he’s a tattooed badass biker, but he’s not all bad. There’s enough good in him to have him wanting to protect her… and enough bad to have him wanting her for himself though he doesn’t feel like he deserves her. They are both damaged, but maybe their broken pieces can fill the void in each other, huh? At least that’s what my hopeful heart yearned for from the beginning.
Yes, I might be a hopeless romantic, but I’m also a badass bitch in the fictional world I live in. Y’all have heard of ‘road rage’, right? Well, I have ‘book rage’ and I had my virtual shovel loaded in my trunk ready to bury some bodies in the Las Vegas desert if things didn’t go the way I wanted. This story had me all worked up and feeling ragey once the details of their past were finally revealed I wanted some people to pay for their pain with their lives. Whew! What a ride the Sin City Salvation series is. I guarantee you don’t want to miss it. The line forms here…
Finally a very good sequel.
In the middle of Las Vegas, the young Birdie drives her car at full speed and the music very loud.
She has to earn money, a lot of money.
It’s the key to her freedom.
But nothing is going to turn out as she had planned…
———————————-
Here is the sequel to the eventful adventures of the crook sisters Gypsy and Birdie.
This book 2 centers on Birdie, 20 years old, on her own and out of control.
Here is the very gripping story of the meeting of two individuals, Birdie and Ace, battered by life.
I had a hard time getting into the story, annoyed by the two main characters.
Then, little by little, the plot taking shape, I wanted to know the rest.
It’s not my favorite tome, but I finally got attached to its two characters, both annoying and moving.
Finally a very good sequel to discover.
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.
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.
Oh I have been wanting to read this book forever, I had a lucky day and won a amazon gift from A. Zavarelli so the first thing I did was buy this book!! Thank you for that 🙂 anyhoo this book broke my heart into pieces, two damaged souls finally brought together to start to heal. This book has turns that I would have never guessed, love so strong, parts that might be a trigger for some( but they were written very well), strong heroine and hero ( the things these two have been through will make your heart hurt) suspense and finally a hea!!! I would recommend reading the first book Confess before this one. You don’t have to but it will help you understand more about Birdie and her sister.
Emotional Rollercoaster Genius!
Birdie + Ace = HAWT!!! I mean, seriously! I’ll start by saying those steamy spots…. WHOA!
If there is one thing I have come to LOVE about Zavarelli’s books, it would be how she takes two people who are broken about their pasts, and how through the help of one another, are able to heal!
This story had me furiously flipping the pages to find out what would happen next. The amount of pain and suffering both characters have seen and gone through breaks my heart. And each of them so willingly love so hard as to sacrifice for the other and loved ones. Stronger characters are difficult to come by.
I had several moments that left me yelling, gasping, and reacting physically. What. A. Story!!!
A story of redemption, where two damaged souls find their way to complete each other and become whole. Convict is harsh, yet it is perfect in every possible way.
Ace, the big, bad, ex-con biker of a few words, will put everything aside to protect Birdie, the 20-year-old brat who has seen and lived more than someone her age should. Their attraction is instant and steamy. But fighting the past and old habits proves to be their biggest enemy. Yet their love story is worth it.
A. Zavarelli broke me with this intricate and detailed story. Stayed up late because I simply couldn’t put the book down. The plot twists are perfect and unexpected. Convict is a true gem, and a must-read.
Sweet Jesus… I was on a roll.
I’ve devoured just one book written by this author and I was addicted.
A. Zavarelli melted my heart and soul. She’s a genius and you all should read her books.
Her writing is raw, wild, dark and hot at the same time.
Convict was the book that I devoured in no time and it’s the second book from the Sin City Salvation series.
This new book explores the lives of Birdie and Ace.
Birdie didn’t have the perfect childhood. She and sister had suffered tremendously but one they were able to escape they were happy. Or do you’ll think.
She would do anything to protect her sister even break the law.
When she sees herself with Ace…
Ace is one reserved guy. He doesn’t talk much but it’s loyal to a fault. When he’s given the task to protect Birdie…
Guys… This book just stole my heart, not just this book… This entire series.
It was darkly perfect.
Superb plot, very well written, super dark, intense and powerful.
Each scene stole my breath away and it was hard to read sometimes.
Not because it wasn’t good… On the contrary, the scenes were so dark and twisted that it glued me and I was unable to stop.
Darkness and crime surrounded this story as well as love, loyalty, and desire.
Jeez… The hot stuff… Dayum…
I was sad when the book ended because of wanted to keep reading.
Perfect A. Zavarelli. This series is freaking awesome and I can’t wait to read more from you.
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.
Birdie and Ace both had demons. Both were abused in childhood. one had scars on the inside, the other had the daily reminder of scars on the outside. Ace vowed to protect her. Birdie is very independent and doesn’t think she needs protection.. This is a story of two lost souls, with a connection neither have felt in their lives before.
Kelsey Navarro and Aaron Shedlock bring this emotional story to life!.audiobookobsessionreviewer
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!
AudiobookObsession
A. Zavarelli is one of my fave authors and this book is just one example why. Ace and Birdie both have demons from a past that would’ve completely destroyed most. Be warned that it is a raw,gritty, heartrending story that squeezed my heart and made me want to deliver justice in the most painful way upon the monsters that molded their lives while making me weep with joy and their finding their other broken half.
I’m going to use a metaphor to describe this story, when life throws you lemons you make lemonade. Ace and Birdie are both survivors of a cruel past. Thrown together they made sweet lemonade.
Kelsey and Aaron did a fantastic job narrating this dark romance.

Audio Review: Convict (Sin City Salvation #2) by A. Zavarelli (Author), Kelsey Navarro (Narrator), Aaron Shedlock (Narrator)
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.
Fantastic Story & Audible Listen Heartfelt & Intense!
Convict (A Dark Romance)
Sin City Salvation, Book 2
By: A. Zavarelli
Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro, Aaron Shedlock
A. Zavarelli pens another amazing book for her “Sin City Salvation” series. She is a master at writing dark romance, her storylines are interesting and intense, they grabbed me right in and held my mind straight to the end. The characters are complex and well developed. I adored both lead characters, they are two broken and tortured souls but they perfect together and for each other. Birdie is Gypsy’s sister, their childhood was tragic but the two survived the best way they could. Birdie is still dealing with scum from her past which comes back with a vengeance. Ace’s life has not been easy, he too had a screwed up childhood which lead to a screwed up adulthood. He became obsessed with Birdie after keeping an eye on her for Lucian, Gypsy’s husband. Gypsy is concerned about Birdies so she asks Ace to take her away and keep her safe. I loved how everything plays out in this book, loved getting to know more about both Ace and Birdie, loved all the drama, angst, twists, thrilling suspense, mystery and most of all loved the chemistry between Ace and Birdie and the hot romance. This book can be enjoyed as a standalone but I highly recommend reading or listening to the first book “Confess”, which is Lucian and Gyspy’s story. A. Zavarelli, thank you for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
I listened to the Audible edition, Aaron Shedlock and Kelsey Navarro are fantastic narrators and talented voice artists. They bring these characters to life, giving each their own voice and personality. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they capture and project the emotions of the characters and the drama of the story into their performance. Aaron’s portrayal of Ace and Kelsey’s Birdie were spot on, they sounded like I pictured them in my mind. Both are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fantastic listen
Convict (A Dark Romance) Sin City Salvation, Book 2 is an interconnected standalone with a complete ending, however timelines do converge. Told in dual pov, with a dark element, and well detailed history of the characters unveiled in tiers. Character’s are compelling with complex personalities. A riveting sweep off one’s feet romance that is more twisted than a neurotic pretzel. Dark elements swirling through the pages of this suspenseful tale. The writing style is addictive and the narrative is captivating.
Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro, Aaron Shedlock dual narration was super-duper. Aaron’s deep baritone voice fit Ace’s character perfectly. Kelsey’s portrayal of Birdie brought her character out with all the right sentiments. Both inflections were smooth and flowed through easily.
Overall, a beautiful romance about two broken souls.
I knew it wouldn’t be long until I started Convict! Convict: A Dark Romance is the 2nd book in the Sin City Salvation. After reading Confess (A 5 star read) I just knew I would be reading this book soon.
Sin City Salvation is an addicting series! This time it is Birdie and Ace’s story. Birdie is Gypsy’s sister (Book 1). In order, to protect/save Birdie, Ace kidnaps her to his compound.
My heart really went out to Ace and Birdie. This is when bad things happen to good people. They are both broken and learning to heal when more bad things happen. But rest easy there is an HEA.
I loved reading this series. A. Zavarelli is a new to me author the only other book I have read by her is the 1st book in this series. I will be following this author. Convict was another 5 star read for me!
I got this book from Kindle Unlimited.
