Redemption was never supposed to be on the set list for Twisted Tours.
Eight years ago, Zack Anderson recited his vows to me in front of our friends and family. He swore to stand by my side through all heartache and fears. Yet, six months later—I came home to find our home cleaned of his belongings.
Only three things
The deed to our house transferred to my name. A contract reporting the record deal of a lifetime, signed and finalized. And a singular note with rushed, scribbled writing.A lot had changed in the span of eight years. Zack, his brother, and his best friends became a worldwide known name, and I had left our memories behind to pursue my own career of concert photography. I rebuilt my life from the ground up, and I had sworn to never give him the time of day again.
Until the photographer assigned to the Twisted Tours music festival was fired, leaving me to fill in.
The kicker?
Zack Anderson was still my husband.
Even if his brother was also in love with me.
And they had agreed… they were never letting me go again.
Twisted Tours is a shared world with authors Tilly Ridge and Ava Jay. All novellas in this world are complete standalones and can be read in any order. However, they will all contain easter eggs from each others’ stories.
Loved this spicy novella and am excited for more of the Twisted Tours world! I love me a second chance and this was no different. After a complicated past, Estrella never thought she'd have to spend time with her husband or his brother again. However when she's forced to work as the photographer for them, it seems they can no longer avoid their past and she's determined to get those divorce papers signed. This was spicy and short and I devoured it!

Thank you to C.S. Silverne for letting me read/review an ARC of this book.
there's a lot going on here in the kink department...& i LOVEDDD that!! & it truly was set up so perfect that we got this full heartbreaking backstory for this dynamic with the book still being so short! i loved it!!
Honestly, I wasn’t sure how to start this review. This book didn’t have a ton of depth… but I absolutely loved it! Will I remember it forever? Probably not. Would I read it again? Definitely yes!
The author’s writing style really worked for me—I read the whole thing in less than an evening. I liked the characters, I liked the story, but most of all—the spicy scenes? So well done! Also, the playlist? Absolutely perfect—it matched the vibe of the story so well.
If you're in the mood for an easy-to-read 🌶️ rockstar romance with loyal men and a story you can devour in one sitting—this one’s exactly what you need.
Estrella married a rock star for him to just abandon her for eight years! She is then sent on assignment to take photos of his band at a festival. She finds out why Zack left and what his and his twin brother have come up with …. Will she take them up on the deal?
This novella was an utter little masterpiece in it’s own right. I’m new to this Silverne’s work and the more I read the giddier I got that I somehow managed to discover an author who somehow seems to be writing just for my personal tastes. Contrition is the first novella in this anthology series; The twisted tours is a world of touring musicians and all the people who work along side them and Estrella’s story was the perfect little introduction to the series.
We meet Estrella on the day of her wedding to her husband-to-be Zack, yet somehow neither of them are the main event. This just so happens to be Theo, the groom’s brother in his last-ditch attempt to convince Estrella he’s in love with her. Diabolical right? but somehow also hot. How this is twisted in a way that I am routing for Theo in this moment, I will never know. The fact that he even would attempt to bring this up on her wedding day would be something for me to dismiss him for the rest of time, but I just can’t. There is something about him and the words he chooses to express himself that are filled with desperation and not the pathetic kind, the kind that make you want to help him. Then we have the time jump.
We learn that three months after the wedding, Zack left Estrella with no explanation and there has been no communication between her and the brothers for the past eight years until very recently. Them sending her gig tickets and her repeatedly sending Zack divorce papers, both with no response from the other party. That is until a twisted turn of events when Estrella ends up as their photographer at their next festival show.
Estrella is a force to be reckoned with throughout. She doesn’t waver or let their pretty words get to her. It’s very apparent to everyone within a 50-mile radius that they both want her back yet she doesn’t just fold, despite wanting them just as badly. She want’s answers, she wants retribution and most importantly of all she wants them both of on their knees in a state of Contrition. The boys are pretty much at her mercy from the moment they are all back together whether they like it or not and let’s just say her revenge plays out in some very interesting ways.
The spice in this novella is perfection! You truly feel the draw the three main characters are feeling upon one and other and the desperation within them to be together. Feral. I love how innocent Zack is to all of this, yet he is so open to anything that Estrella is willing to give him. He is just blatantly honest and unashamed, the baby boy. Theo on the other hand is pretty much in the same boat, it’s clear from the word go that he would give up his dignity just for ten seconds with this woman. They are both for her and that is it.
Overall, I just loved this story. I read it in one sitting and would have happily continued with these characters if they had more to give. My only complaint is that I wanted more. I cannot wait to continue with this series and sink my teeth into more stories from Silverne. Also! Thankyou for providing me with an ARC copy of this novella. I couldn’t of been happier with it!
Estrella is a band photographer and a fierce woman determined to keep Zack and Theo at a distance. She’s tying up loose ends so she can move on with her life without the baggage. Zack is still her husband and is determined to win Estrella back after a long time apart and some bad choices that involve them all. Theo, Zack’s brother, is left carrying his feelings for Estrella and regretting the moves he didn’t make. When life brings them all back together, this is a second chance at making things right. And let’s be honest… we love it when the men have to beg for forgiveness. In this case, it’s times two. Yum. 😏 Can I just say the spicy scenes were scorching, and Zack & Theo’s team sessions hit all the right why choose notes. This is a standalone novella packed with extra spice and an FMC who’s bold, assertive, and deliciously in control. And seriously, who doesn’t enjoy a little exhibitionism between the MCs? Is it just me? If you’re looking for something to spice up the break between your thicker novels, this is the perfect story snack to devour.
STOP!!!!! I don’t even have words!!! THIS WAS THAT FREAKING GOOD! Ahe definitely is one of my autobuy authors and I honestly love EVERY THING she writes!
And this was just another masterpiece, and normally I am not the biggest fan of rockstar romances. But this was amazing! Another short and spicy story AGAIN. But it had it all. Second chance with grovelling and you are mine/ ours!!! A lot of guilt. And she had the right amount of anger towards the guys for what they did to her! Overal is Estrella such an amazing powerful girl with the sassyness, the bratiness and the sexyness all one.
I fell IN LOVE with Zack that man and his brother THEO?! Wel hotdamn call the fire department to put me out y’all!! Especially with the mouth they have on them.
Special shout out to all the good girl references it just always hits!
I want to thank the author for providing me with an ARC so grateful to have been part of your ARC team and your writing journey so far.
Thank you to the author for selecting me to arc read this however I was behind on arcs so this book is already out in the world. I absolutely devoured this book in one setting, I absolutely freaking loved it. MFM characters are my favorites & this book just bumping up to my favorite number 1 book. I loved the story, the past and present. 5 stars doesn’t even cover it! It’s merely a 100* read! The spice was very fucking phenomenal. 10/10/10/10/10
Honestly the fact that the entire shared world idea is absolutely intriguing as I dived into this tour it was an absolute pleasant surprise.
The ages with the characters was such a delight, and kept me hooked from the start.
We got a woman with a smart mouth and two rock stars groveling at her feet plus another on the back burn… 🫢😅 if she isn’t treated like the amazing queen that she is.
Full of past mistakes and missed opportunities with time loss.
Crossing boundaries and bringing the spice and falling into second chances and new ones. The way it was written was done just right.
I loved this book lol 🤣 🤣🤣 the banter between the characters was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 I fell in love with them and the back mates too and spice was sooooo good 😈🥵🥵🥵 10 outta 10
Silverne you have done it AGAIN! Can I just thank the gods that I came across your page and signed up for one of your arcs? Because that is a click I will never regret XD. So folks, we are back with another spicy novella, but this time it's an age gap MFM with rockstar vibes. And, drumroll please…it’s two brothers sharing! Now, this is only book 1 in the Twisted Tours world. We got book 2 by Tilly Ridge called Contentment and book 3 by Ava Jay called Clandestine. So we are definitely keeping an eye out for those two. But let’s focus on Contrition! Did I mention that the FMC speaks spanish?? Yeah she does!
So, we got Estrella, who is a concert photographer. And 8 years ago, she married her soulmate, Zack. BUT Zack left without a word with his brother, Theo, and their best friends to become epic rockstars. Mind you, he left 6 MONTHS after they got married. So, present day Estrella is assigned to take photos of a concert and who does she happen to meet there other than her husband, his brother and their band. You would think things would go back as if nothing happened, but nope. Turns out hubby does want back with Estrella because he still loves her, but there is an “agreement” that needs to be made. That they become a throple with his brother. Oh yeah didn’t mention that his brother just happens to also be in love with Estrella! Hijole!
So, of course the first thing I will gush about is the fact that Zack and Theo learned spanish because of Estrella! Like, how can you not feel something for guys that learned the language of the woman they love because it’s part of her everyday life. And I gotta cheer Estrella on for not making it so easy for them. Ya girl said chase me, and they CHASED. I’m just saying, Zack and Theo deserve to suffer the bit they did for what they did years before. So gotta give that high five for making Estrella have her moment of WTF. And the spice, ooof let’s just say I might not look at a ferris wheel the same way again. Especially the one that comes to the local fair near me that instead of just being a seat, it’s like an enclosure with an umbrella up top XD. Because that one would be so much more fun…and easier for body access XD.
I do plan on reading the other two books, but gotta say Silverne has made it to my favorite’s list for sure. Seriously, if you are looking for a quick spicy read, anything by Silverne is to enjoy! My current favorite is Play the Game, but if older rock stars are for you, then give this one a go.
I'm quickly loving C.S. Silverne. The books are always interesting in the beginning and then spicy af towards the end. My only complaint is that they are over too quick for me, and unfortunately for me that's my fault for reading so fast. This book was so interesting because we much like Estrella, the FMC, didn’t get a ton of the backstory on why the conflict of her husband basically leaving her and so we, the reader, and the fmc both are confused by Zack, her husband, and Theo, her "brother in law"'s actions. we obviously find everything out but for like story lines, I dont think ive seen anything like this and I loved that. You could feel like love between all three as well both before, during and after everything happened. watching these boys chase her for the weekend was perfect, I kind of wish we got to see what the headlines were saying cause she kissed Theo in public! i know someone had to have taken a pic and sent it to TMZ! the spicy scenes were hot af. the ferris wheel scene was everything. I was getting hot under the collar and there wasn't even too much movement happening but the scene that came after might be my second favorite cause the competition was hot I know this is a shared world and because of that every time i saw someone mentioning people and romantic drama I was like 🤨 yall next or??? if not... can we have more? Basically I'm asking when the next book is cause I will be reading it! thank you to the author for the ARC! Obviously these opinions are my own
I honestly didn’t know if I would like this book since I absolutely hate the second chance trope but decided to give this one a try.
I liked Estrella!!! She was strong and feisty. I’m glad she wasn’t celibate. I do wish she made them grovel more. I feel like she forgave them too easily. I fucking love the payback/revenge she got at the end. It was hilarious!!!!
Zack(MMC #1) has been celibate for the entire eight years they’ve been separated. As he should be!!! I would not have read this if he wasn’t. OK now that we got out the way let’s move on. I loved Zack!!! I hated that he left her, but I get why he did it but it also made me dislike him tiny bit. Loved how he came in his pants for her.
Theo(MMC #2) has been celibate for two years. In my opinion, he should’ve been celibate the entire eight years also, since he was so “in love” with Estella. Especially since he made Zack leave her by forcing him to choose between her and him/ the record deal. I didn’t like Theo. I tried to like him, but just couldn’t vibe with him. He just didn’t do it for me.
Rockstars x Photographer Why Chose (MFM) Husband’s brother Second chance Age gap (h 29 & H#1 42 & H#2 39) Some OMD (Not really tho) (she’s friends with her ex hook up) No OWD No condoms
Content Warnings Abandonment Of Marriage Mentions Of Parental Death Exhibitionism Voyeurism Spanking Choking Double Penetration General Male Stupidity
Fast, filthy, and full of feelings I wasn’t ready for.
What starts as forced proximity quickly turns into a collision course of unresolved emotions, scorching chemistry, and a proposal that’s as shocking as it is seductive.
The book kicks off with betrayal, abandonment, and the kind of prologue that makes your jaw drop. Estrella’s anger is raw and deserved, and I loved that she didn't let them off easy at first. She demanded answers, and when she said “Fucking grovel like your life depends on it,” I was right there with her, cheering.
Zack and Theo? Equal parts infuriating and addictive. Their chemistry with her is off the charts, and when the three finally come together it’s explosive. The dirty talk?Spicy, filthy, and sometimes unexpectedly funny.
My only real gripe? The grovel was way too short. After eight years of silence, I wanted more than one night, one note, and a sexy group chat to make up for all the pain they left her in. The ending felt rushed, with forgiveness coming a little too easily.
Still, Contrition delivers what it promises: heat, tension, and a hard-earned taste of love reborn. A fast, filthy second-chance romance with a MFM twist that knows exactly what it’s doing.
Did I know this book was going to be amazing...yes.
Did I expect it to have me in an absolute choke hold... nope... didn't see that coming.
Am I mad... NOPE!
My thoughts: -I immediately fell in love with the FMC, she fierce and feisty... and through her heartbreak she found herself. -Of course the MMCs are walking rockstar gods... but even more so they are wrapped around this FMC's fingers... even the she's giving them the middle one. -OF course it's HOT... and can I tell you that I totally geeked out with the ferris wheel scene... it reminded me of some many epic 90's/early 2000's movies! -This book made my elder emo heart so happy... the fact that it mentions their ages, and they're not in their 20's(nothing against that age group, but I always love to see other ages represented) -Even though this is a short read it still will have you in all your feels! -And listen any time there's TWO MMCs that want to worship the FMC I'm here for it...why settled for ONE delicious rockstar when you can have TWO?! -I cannot wait to read the rest of this series!
This MFM romance was short and spicy and a lot of fun.
🎸Rockstar romance 🎸Second chance 🎸Age gap 🎸Brothers x brothers wife
Zack and Estrella got married and were supposed to live their HEA, until one secret ruined them all – Theo admitted that he also had feelings for Estrella and Zack decided to choose his brother over his marriage.
Now here we are almost a decade later and the three of them come face to face once again. Estrella is telling herself that she has moved on, but these two give her the opportunity of a lifetime – to be with both of them. Will Estrella decide to enter into a unique relationship with them, or move on with her life once and for all?
I loved Estrella and felt so hard for her. She has used different vices to mask the hurt that Zack, and Theo, caused her all those years ago. And letting them back in is a hard decision. But when she does, MAN the spice is spicing! These three do not have boundaries and I loved it.
So we have our fmc Estrella and our mmc's, Alex and Theo. These 3 have a complicated past, and Estrella didn't think she would be the photographer for Twisted Tours 10 years after Alex did the one thing he said he'd never do. Both Alex and Theo have a lot to make up for and need to grovel hard, especially with everything that went down. But I love how Estrella handled herself, and I do get that she couldn't not hear them out, if only for her own piece of mind. Oh, did I forget to mention that Alex and Theo are brothers and Estrella is married???
Yes, it was a short read, but it's written so well. Loved it!
Thank you so much to C.S. and your lovely team for the opportunity to read this story. I am forever grateful 🙏

📷 mfm (why choose) 🎸 second chance romance 📷 rockstar romance 🎸 age gap 📷 husband's brother 🎸 spicy
An engaging standalone MFM romance that blends humor, heat, and heartfelt moments.
This story follows two brothers who fall in love with the same woman, exploring the impact of life choices and the consequences they bring. It’s a second-chance romance that emphasizes the importance of open, honest communication.
The plot moves quickly and includes steamy scenes with some light BDSM elements, but it also manages to be genuinely funny in unexpected moments.
While the story includes mature and potentially sensitive themes, the author provides content warnings, allowing readers to make informed decisions.
The female lead is a strong, complex character who isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and pursue what she needs to heal and grow. After marrying one of the brothers, she is left behind when he chooses fame and family loyalty over her. But this is ultimately a story about learning, forgiveness, and unconventional love.
In the end, the characters realize that love doesn’t always follow traditional rules—and that sometimes, the best relationships are the ones we build on our own terms.
The book concludes with a hopeful “new beginning” and a clear path toward a happily ever after.
Estrella is a band photographer and a fierce woman determined to keep Zack and Theo at a distance. She’s tying up loose ends so she can move on with her life without the baggage. Zack is still her husband and is determined to win Estrella back after a long time apart and some bad choices that involve them all. Theo, Zack’s brother, is left carrying his feelings for Estrella and regretting the moves he didn’t make. When life brings them all back together, this is a second chance at making things right. And let’s be honest… we love it when the men have to beg for forgiveness. In this case, it’s times two. Yum. 😏 Can I just say the spicy scenes were scorching, and Zack & Theo’s team sessions hit all the right why choose notes. This is a standalone novella packed with extra spice and an FMC who’s bold, assertive, and deliciously in control. And seriously, who doesn’t enjoy a little exhibitionism between the MCs? Is it just me? If you’re looking for something to spice up the break between your thicker novels, this is the perfect story snack to devour.
Rating: 4.5 Stars On Kindle Unlimited: Yes Publication Date: May 18, 2025 HEA: yes Version: eARC
This novella packs a punch and I can't wait for the rest of this shared world series. Contrition follows Estrella, a music photographer who's been trying to divorce the man who left her, but he doesn't want that. Ending up in the same place with the man who broke her heart isn't going to end well...or is it?
I really loved this novella and having gone to many music festivals myself, it has allill the vibes, even the Ferris wheel u. You've got enough plot and backstory to feel for the characters and enough spice to make you blush. This one is MFM, so while it's partially a second chance story for Estrella and Zack...Zack's brother Theo is just as obsessed with Estrella.
Definitely give this a read and watch for the others to be released over the next few months! I'll be waiting for the next stop on the Twisted Tours journey.
Great, short and spicy MFM second chance rockstar romance.
Great characters, interesting storyline, groveling, hand necklaces and plenty of spice, just what I needed. Loved the banter, and the chemistry between the characters was amazing. And who doesn’t love brothers who know how to share?
I’m always amazed by how much storyline and character development there can be in a book this short. I loved it, and I can’t wait to read the other two books in the Twisted Tour series!
“Yeah. You were too late for a lot of things.” “So, what? I’m the birthday present little kids fought over before they realized that sharing is caring? Really?” “Fucking grovel like your life depends on it then. Chase me. Make me feel actually wanted.”
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
Who knew I would love a rockstar reverse harem trope??? 😂 This was my first dive into Rockstar Romance, and I absolutely adored it! The story was so entertaining that I found myself wanting to jump right into the pages. I finished it in under 2 hours; it had me hooked from the very start.
I didn’t expect the plot to unfold this way, especially with the brothers reconciling and sharing some steamy moments with Estrella.🔥
C.S. Silverne's writing is incredibly easy to read, which is probably why I've devoured so many of her books. I'm so glad I signed up for this series because it's definitely going to keep me on my toes!
If you enjoy a captivating romance filled with twists, steamy moments, and unforgettable characters, Contrition is a must-read!
🌶🌶🌶🌶 I absolutely cannot wait to finish all 3 of these books on release! I ARC read this book for CS and I think she did so amazing with creating a backdrop for the twisted tours!! All 3 books can be read as interconnected standalones. This one takes the cake of setting a very high platform for the other 2. The drama. Th3 heartbreak. Estrella Zach and Theo were amazing characters that definitely make you feel some type of way 😉. This is a short story of friends to enemies to lovers. A second chance rockstar romance. A grovel and see if I come back. Take me to the top of the ferris wheel and make me see stars 👀 You will absolutely devour this book and it leaves you wanting more 🥵
Would I recommend? yes. Would I read again? probably.
so I was actually pleasantly surprised by this read. it was a quick read without too much filler. The Story covers about a week. I also think the vibe of The Story Goes really well with concert life. if you've ever gone to a lot of concerts and festivals or been around it feels realistic especially bringing in the conversation about the food lines and the ferris wheel at the festival. I also like that she got her little Revenge but it wasn't too much. it was trying to make them feel how she felt but she wasn't being unrealistically cruel about it.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I was not sure what to expect from Contrition, but I was blown away by this story!!!
I can not wait to read the rest of the Twisted Tours series!!
Estrella, Zach, and Theo have a tragic backstory and learn a lot from it. Estrella persues her dream job only to be forced back into close proximity to the person who broke her years ago. Zack never stopped loving Estrella even after many years and is shocked and excited go discover Estrella will be near. He vows to win her back no matter the deal he has to agree to.
This novella is a spicy quick read that will leave you needing the next book.
What happens when your best friend tells you he wants you on your wedding day? What if that best friend is you fiance's brother? What happens when your husband walks out on you after two years but refuses your divorce attempts?
This book follows a music photographer who has been avoiding her estranged husband for two years when she is suddenly forced to work with his band again. What follows next is full of emotions, spice and fun.
Perfect short and spicy read - reverse harem, second chance! The banter between the MC's and their inner monologues were top notch and the steam between Estrella, Theo and Zach was STEAMY! I can't wait to read the other stories that will be part of the Twisted Tours series! I'm so lucky to have gotten a chance to ARC read this!
This novella may be short, but it sure packs a punch. Estrella is estranged from her husband Zack and it goes back to him choosing his brother over her. Neither man can live without her, and a scheduling issue brings her back into their lives. The next couple days is a whirlwind of emotions and sexual interactions. A must read and an excellent palate cleanser.
