The Torn Trilogy Box Set

Rate this book
From bestselling author, comes three full length novels, The Torn Trilogy, wrapped up in one boxset:

Possessed by You (Torn #1) Blurb:

Releasing control is relief…
I was warned about men like Brett Maclean.
He was dark and thrilling, intense and controlling. And he captivated me from the very start. He unleashed something inside of me like no other. His bad rep and troubled past drew me to him like gasoline feeding a flame.
With just one taste, I felt the danger in him, the uncontrollable power that left me breathless. The passion consumed me. Fast and hard.
Temptation couldn't guard my heart. I should have known a man of such raw and wild desires came with competition.

Revealed by You (Torn #2) Blurb:

The sharp edge of love…
Brett MacLean was possessive. Even more since I became his. He was my desire…my ultimate pleasure…he was mine.
As each day passed, he revealed a part of himself that had lain dormant. A broken childhood. A troubled man. One I was determined to help.
After months together, I thought I knew him. But soon realized I was wrong. His dark secrets were only the beginning. The past was more disturbing than I ever could have fathomed.
His deep seeded need for me came with a price that could have consequences. I needed him just as much. Because of this, we would be tested. My greatest fear was that it would take us beyond the limits of our love.

Perfected by You (Torn #3) Blurb:

An all-consuming need…
Evvie Neal was my addiction. The love I felt for her controlled me and it brought me to my knees. She was my one. My only.
Destroyed as a boy, healed as a man, she was my saving grace. The first person who knew the real me. Because of her, I became stronger. Whole. A true warrior in my own personal Hell.
As time went on, demons from my past haunted me, threatening to ruin what I had worked so hard to become. Strong.
The ultimate sacrifice was giving up a piece of myself to be perfect. For her.

Brett and Evvie

this story is erotic to the point of not being able to read it sometimes cuz it is so hot.. the sex is amazing and the story of these two makes my heart ache. it is beautiful, raw, really,and what everyone dreams of (I know I do). Brett love for her was scary at times but no matter what you could tell she owned his hearts and soul and he owned hers.
I would be curious to hear the author take on the brothers and there stories of love. I will be looking into more books by this author.
(before I read this I read some reviews about it and they compared it to 50 shades trilogy and the crossfire series ... not true it is it's own story yes may have similar things but what book isn't something like another.. I believe this story is hotter than either of the other books:
must read.. Will be recommending to many others

Starting this book I was beginning to think it was sex,sex and more sex but the final book prooved wrong.

Brett is a possesive male rich and has a past that has made him the way he is until he meets Evvie who is a take no crap female.

Evvie growing up with three possesive brothers and a criminal father doesent take crap from anyone. The characters are likeable lots of drama and epic finish, loved it. Recommended read.

His One. His Only.

It took me a long time to try to find the words to describe how I feel about this book, and days later I'm still no closer than I was when I finished it.
This box series swept me under it's spell. From the first chapter I was riveted by Evvie"s strength and grace. And Brett Maclean...? The only words to describe this man are "true alpha male".
But it's true what they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and that's never more true than for these two.
It's a never ending battle for Evvie and Brett. Between lies, deceit, trust and a past that (no matter how hard Brett tries to forget) won't leave him be, he learns that the only person who can settle him is her, his one, his only.
But even a saint can only take so much. Is their love strong enough to get thru this mess called life in one piece?

“Well you fucking own me, Evvie. Every single piece of me. Mind, body and soul. I am fucking yours.”

How can I use all the good words?

I suppose that I could just type out all the positive adjectives I could think of and that would pretty much take care of my review! OH. MY. GOSH! This series was absolute perfection!! I love, love, LOVE ALL OF IT! Evvie and Bret are an incredible, perfect couple and it was so great to watch their relationship develop. Part of what had me was the fact that there is a lot of SEX in the book! I don’t want to read an Erotic Romance story that takes you through half the book before things warm up! THIS book definitely is NOT THAT!! But nothing was done just for the sake of doing and every interaction seem to bring them closer in some way. Thank you, JM, for a beautiful love story. You had me going for a minute there (or about 10 times for a minute each), but it was all worth it to get to my HEA!!!

Possessed by You Review: If you want filthy, dirty and angry sexy then you get it in Possessed by you. In my opinion it's very repetitive. Evie and Brett fight, get jealous and then have angry sex. Somehow I manage to see the good side of Evie. Evie loves her family and loyal to them. Evvie's overprotective brothers and father just want what's best for her in their minds. In my opinion it's not worth it.

Revealed by You Review: I find Brett and Evie's relationship very unhealthy. Brett is overbearing, possessive, jealous and hurt man. Evie is trying grow and find herself. As unhealthy as I find their relationship it seems to work for them.

Perfected by You Review: It's the same as the first two, sex, anger, jealously. Sex to relieve anger.

In my opinion this series is not worth it. All the stories sound the same. I did manage to see growth in both Evie and Brett.

I liked the story but had several issues. A.) she was just hired and her boss calls her in his office and tells her to have sex with him? That left me feeling icky. B.) “a couple” means two. You can’t say “a couple of weeks” when it was 4.5 or “a couple of months” when it was 6. C.) the timelines for this story were confusing or didn’t match up especially surrounding pregnancy topics. The sex scenes were steamy but some just seemed oddly out of place like she wrote a bunch of sex scenes and then flipped open the book and stuffed them randomly between the pages. Overall, I think her support of him was amazing and their love was passionate and sweet. I wish I would have stopped at this and not read the last one Red. The majority of that just upset and triggered me.

Possessed by You: Torn Triology Book One

Brett MacLean & Evvie Neal are scorching hot together with undeniable explosive chemistry. The beginning sets the tone & pace for the whole novel. I absolutely love Brett & Evvie. The writing style fits the erotic romance perfectly. I love the supporting characters & all play a pivotal role in the saga. Will Brett & Evvie survive with both having their own demons & secrets that can rip these two apart or is their love strong enough to withstand the trials & tribulations. Perfect start to a new series. Off to read book two.

Revealed by You: Torn Triology Book Two

I absolutely love this book & series. Brett & Evvie's love for eachother is pure, raw, & all consuming. This novel will take you on a euphoria of ecstasy. Dripping with passion & deep love as dark secrets of Brett's past are revealed in layers. Off to finish the last book in this fabulous series.
Perfected by You (Torn #3)

A perfect ending to this dynamic series. I absolutely loved it. Brett & Evvie have continued to grow throughout each novel. Brett's journal writing puts a whole different light on him. It takes you on a journey with him as you see through his eyes the intense love he has for Evvie & is a savvy revelation. So, thrilled there story isn't finished but continues in a duet RED. A must read.

Holy freaking hotness Batman!!

Sweet baby Jesus! This box set has sent me to hell and back with my emotions and heart!
The chemistry is off the charts when Brett and Evvie first meet, it's hot AF and absolutely beautiful and shows no sign of fizzling out. But hell fire, they are put through it with people on all sides trying to interfere. At points my heart broke! When reading about Brett's childhood, it killed me, I seriously wanted to hurt people! *note...My kindle was not harmed during the reading of this box set!
And can I just say......Dr Santos!!! #justsaying

Couldn’t finish

This makes me so sad to have to write this review because I truly love this author! I’ve read plenty other of her books but this box series I couldn’t get through their trip to Mexico. I just ended it and I’ve never ended a book before I’ve always finished but this book just has way too much sex, every page same thing over and over and over again repeating the same phrases, it just gets repetitive and I feel there’s no connection at all besides that there’s no storyline I just can’t read anymore of it.

If you don't like dark, stay away. This is one of the most exciting books I've read in a while. The couple went through hell and back to arrive at their Destiny, but it was worth it

Fantastic

This has adult content not for young readers. The dynamic between B and E was amazing and frustrating. Their relationship took many sharp turns but through patience and time they figured it out. Perfection at its best!!!

Brett & Evvie

The things this couple has to continually go through is just... oh my gah, will it ever end? Not to mention the personal h Brett went through as a child that still very heavily affects him as an adult. Be warned heavy subject matter is discussed.

Possessed by You (Torn #1)

5 star

Brett is an intense, dark, and controlling alpha male. Evvie Neal works as a bartender at Brett's Club. One day he propositions her for sex. She in turns asks for a date. Can they last through a date before they rip off each other’s clothes?

Evvie is an obsession to Brett that no other man can touch. He will go after anyone who thinks they can touch her. He even at one point goes after her own brother.

He wonders if he is pushing Evvie in every part of their relationship but mostly in the bedroom as he likes to have total control.

Some people try and come between Evvie and Brett but will they break them apart or push them together more than ever?

Love how strong the characters are even though Brett is so broken. Evvie does not take his crap and for that you love her even more.

Read in one sitting as I could not put it down!!

5 Stars

This is the second part of Brett and Evvie's story. Brett is still very possessive. Evvie loves that he shows his love to her all the time.

As Brett’s past comes into the picture he starts to crack. The broken boy that Brett has been hiding comes out and Evvie realizes that he needs someone besides her to help him deal with his past.

The players from his past cause all kinds of havoc. But they make a fatal mistake that Brett will never forgive.

Is he pushing his dark side on to Evvie to much? Can she handle all of him or is he dooming them with his dark possessive side.

Love how strong they are together that they fight to stay together and help each other through all life throws at them.

Read in one sitting as I could not put it down!!


Perfected by You (Torn #3)

5 star

This is the third part of Brett and Evvie's story. Brett is still the same possessive alpha male that Evvie loves and can't get enough of. Evvie still loves that he shows his love to her but she is worried that he is holding a part of himself back from her.

As the player in Brett’s past make him have horrible nightmares he wonders if Evvie would be better off without him. Should they divorce? He is working with Dr. Santos and he wonders if they are making progress. He spends a lot of time in his head thinking about things. He is also writing a journal of sorts for his wife. After a horrible tragedy Evvie is trying to heal and also take care of Brett’s need in and out of the bedroom.

The more time they are together the better the relationship is. When the unthinkable happens Brett wonders if he will have to live without his wife. Can they make it through the hard times to come out better for it?

Love how strong they are together that they fight anything to stay together. Love that Brett calls her Lover still years after they have been together and that she has finally started calling him by a sweet nickname also. Brett is her “Baby”.

Part one:
It's too graphic. Its offensive. The dirty talk is raunchy.
There's confidence and then there's conceited. Brett reads conceited and determined to conquer Evvie.
It's a ten hour story and I really hope there is more to the story than all this raunchy rutting. It's overkill when one chapter after the next is Brett sexing Evvie. The stamina is laughable. It reads like a porno with sex and no storyline.
Im an avid reader and look for unique stories, but this offered no originality. I need some story to go along with this sex and I could not connect with either character. This did not appeal to me.
The stories becoming quite repetitive with the sense only being about sex. Did I mention I'm repulsed by the dirty talk?
Part two:
Evvie once again has trust issues. Brett's way of setting her straight is to f#ck the shit out of her. It's a repetition of the first. If I could count the number of times these two have had sex it would fill about eighty percent of the story. I'm so over reading about their sex life. The most toxic relationship I've ever read. They have trust issues, immaturity issues, and jealousy issues. This story did not fulfill any one of my fantasies. Evvie is once again obsessed that people are trying to break them up.
Part three:
Brett is writing in a journal and expressing his thoughts to Evvie. He still battles with his control issues. I'm so tired of hearing Brett say,"I need to be inside you". I don't understand why the author feels the need to go into such great details regarding sex when it's clear from part one that these two are insatiable for one another. With word after word and chapter after chapter of sex I gave up and just skimmed through it all fishing for a storyline. I'm determined to find the purpose of this story. Wow! The author is really reaching when it comes to Brett's character. When Brett gets diagnosed with PTSD and his only way to control himself was through sex I just rolled my eyes.
I'm celebrating because it's finally over. That was the longest most arduous read to date.

I am struggling with rating this book. I liked the story and both main characters. Brett is dreamy but also cray cray! I would love to give this at least 4 stars but there was just too much sex. I was sore from reading about all that sex! It seemed every other page they were having sex, talking about sex or day dreaming about sex. This book could of easily been a two book set if you removed half the sex scenes. I will say they were some pretty hot scenes. Considering sex happened often it wasn't all that repetitive. It was just too much! The ending was a little rushed. Their sex scenes take longer than the onset and resolution of a major event in the third book. This should of dragged out for half the book but I'm not sure if it went over a chapter. Would I recommend this book? Only if you like lots and lots of sex in your books. I personally would like to read it again but only if half the sex is removed. Brett was crazy, bossy, possessive, jealous and crazy again. But I really liked his kind of messed up. I will say "lover" never appealed to me as an endearment. Evie I liked her. She was sweet, loyal, open minded, smart and family meant everything to her

2.5 to 3 stars

POSSESSED BY YOU was good. Eye rolling and overdramatic at times but you learn to go with it.

This is one of those books where the male comes in demanding the female give in to his needs while he’s possessive of everything she does. And then once he’s got the girl, he breaks up with her for whatever reason and when he finally overcomes whatever obstacle was in his way, he’s back and expects to pick up where they left off.

All in all Brett and Evvie were hot and sassy, but they weren’t without their faults.


REVEALED BY YOU 3 stars
Brett's past came to light in book 2 as the couple learns to navigate situations.

There were still issues that I didn't care for such as the choking but overall the story stayed on course.


PERFECTED BY YOU 4 stars
I felt there wasn't much progress through much of this book that was told in Brett's point if view, but the ending nearly tore me.

Glad the couple got their happily ever after.

I wish Goodreads & Amazon were some how connected, HEY GUYS are you listening?, that would be so awesome if you would some how work together on that, I know I have read a book by J.M. Walker, but I can recall I am thinking is is one of the King's Harlots, MC Books? ...I know I have promoted her books numerous times on my book blog. I won this in a giveaway, gosh last year 2016 sometime and I am just getting around to reading it now. My book plate is always so so so full, TBR list is even fuller, wow wee, but I love, love, love to read. I do not have a favorite genre, I just love jumping into an author's cup of tea, & seeing where they take me... this is a wild ride!! To me this was a great read. Sensual, Raw, romantic, Brett & Evvie ... what a fun wild couple. There are mixed reviews on this one, I am with the 5 star bunch, it held my interest, I did laugh a bit, was a shocked a bit, I enjoy an emotional roller coaster read, that is me. Enjoy! ( ;

I brought the box set on Amazon and Bound by You was apart of it. I wrote a review for Bound by You so I'm just going to start my review with this box set and finish with Bound by you.

I love the story, but it felt like some stuff was never brought up. Like where they live? I don't remember reading that, so if anybody knows can you tell me.

These books were mainly focus on the main character but I would like to know a little about the other characters. Kane, her brothers, Brett's sister, and even her dad. I like knowing a little background from other characters.

Overall it was a great story and I love Brett and Evvie.

I also notice that J.M. Walker other book characters are in this series. (Tori and Sebastian & Keisha and Garrith for Shattered series)
