Torn Between
Bubbly and down to earth Melissa Harrison is invited to go and live in Singapore with her boyfriend Rob, who has a new job there. Excited about living the expat dream, she excuses his immaturity and inattentiveness and begins the process of settling in to her new life. What she hasn't bargained for is that Rob wants them to join the Singapore Swingers' Club, a private wife (and husband) swapping monthly event among the expat community. Mel becomes torn between two worlds, that of her straight-up moral code versus a luxurious life of drinking, parties and... sex with strangers. When she begins to feel attraction towards Harry, one of the participants, things become even more complicated. Should she stay, or should she go?

Hey guys
So I have been searching for some new books to read all this time. My preferences this time were a little different, I wanted something which could be fiction and could connect with the reality not forgetting about a different storyline and a mix genre. Trust me it was really difficult to find one but eventually I did. The book is called "Torn Between".
Starting with the title of the book "Torn between" it gives the vibe of a dilemma, a difficult choice which makes it a relevant one and to be honest from a viewer and a readers point of view such titles stay with readers and give them a curiosity to read the book. So I feel it's a perfect fit. Cover on the other hand is a very is a very basic yet attractive one, i feel it could have been a little more relevant to the title. Overall the outer appearance of the book is appealing and I would rate it 1.5/2
Talking about the plot of the book, like I said it before I was looking for a book with a very different plot which connects with reality so personally I have been into this complicated relationship. Thw story of the book, trust me I was hooked to it because of the relatability factor. So basically Rob has just settled in Singapore and wanted Melissa to shift with her. Being a very dreamy and emotional one, Melissa was excited for a new start in Singapore just like a normal woman she had her dreams and left UK. Initial stages being enjoyable she was loving the experience but then it's the twist, her boyfriend Rob wants to join Singapore Swinger’s Club, a private wife swapping monthly event. I was like is this really happening? It was really unexpected at this point. Now the book played with my mind when I was at the where Melissa begins to feel attraction towards Harry, one of the participants. I could really feel the situation because of the choice of words and the narration. Melissa is a very sorted one but when she is put in a situation like this she is torn. The efforts Melissa put in the relationship trust me I was in taken back to my past. Where as being a romantic one it doesn't lack that feel. The feel in every situation expressed was wonderful. Trust me I loved the experience this book gave me and I am thankful to the author for this. I would definitely recommend it to all the readers out to give it a try. Trust me it would disappoint you at all.

I recently completed it and I just can't get it out of my head, the storyline revolves around Melissa, who is invited to live in Singapore with her boyfriend Rob who has a new job there. Excited about leaving her difficult life in the UK and living the expat dream, she excuses his immaturity and inattentiveness and begins the process of settling in to her new life. What she hasn't bargained for is that Rob wants them to join the Singapore Swingers' Club, a private wife swapping monthly event among the expat community. Mel becomes torn between two worlds, that of her moral code versus a luxurious life of swimming pools, parties and sex with virtual strangers. When she begins to feel attraction towards Harry, one of the participants, things become even more complicated.

🍷Torn Apart really torn me, definitely the premise of the story is really new to me and most of people are not into the genre but honestly from the storytelling and narration point of view it was totally amazing and worth reading. The book talks about love, sex, bad relationships and the struggles to get through it. Mel is a very built character, her character is really worked well and every reader is going to feel and understand her, honestly at times I did feel sad about, I felt bit concerned, I felt telling her about her wrong decisions, she is a girlfriend who can do anything to be with her boyfriend who claims to love her, for this love, Mel totally crosses all the boundaries, gives away her ethics, her soul and body but things starts changing when a new character is brought into the storyline, the story takes different turns. I honestly want to let you guys know, it's meant for 18+ readers or it might be triggering for some, the concepts are real deep, it totally explores a new side of love and romance!

Few things just didn't go as I expected, things were really unpredictable, when it comes to the ending, it was totally unpredictable, a part of me wanted more, a bit more asked my heart. I am totally looking forward to read what happens next, it was pretty dramatic, emotional, romantic and of course sensational. Definitely something that should not be missed, go for it.

She would get to keep her pool, her independence and the lifestyle to which she desperately wanted to be accustomed but she was all too aware that she had just sold her soul to the devil.

When Melissa's boyfriend asks her to move all the way from UK to Singapore to live with him, she drops everything and listens to his plea. But when she gets there his attitude throws her off but things start to get really weird when he asks her to join a Swinger's Club with him.
Melissa is stuck between her morals and keeping her nan happy, but she obliges to his whims. She finds herself drawn to one man in the club in particular, and a clear sign that Melissa's whole world is about to turn upside down.

Torn Between is a romance/erotic novel by Karen Mills.
This genre is not everyone's cup of tea and neither is the niche topic like a 'Swinger's Club'.
But when we put aside that aspect of the book, Melissa is dealing with a lot for the sake of her boyfriend who claims to 'love' her (when I mean a lot I mean if he were real I would punch him in the face a lot).
She's someone who wants to make things work and puts her own morals and feelings aside because of it, and it led her to a web that was difficult to get out of.
I was a little bit disappointed in her at times because even though I understand how hard it is to get out of unhealthy relationships, there were times when I wish she'd just take the window of opportunity given to her and leave.
I wasn't a big fan of the ending because I was expecting Melissa to make a better judgement on her part. Hopefully there's a sequel because if there isn't I don't know how I'm going to live knowing that's the way the story ends.
I did enjoy most of the book because there was still a lot going on other than, the other stuff (trying to keep it as PG as possible) and if you're interested in romance novels, this would be a good read.

📕 Simple, young, and down to earth girl Melissa Harrison was invited to Singapore by her boyfriend Rob who got a new job there. Both excited and nervous at the same time, Melissa happily left UK and her family behind to explore a new life in Singapore with the love of her life. She was enjoying her stay in Singapore with all expat amenities and was loving her new life, totally unaware of what her dear boyfriend was expecting from her in return. Mel was taken aback when Rob told her that he wants to join Singapore Swinger’s Club, a private wife swapping monthly event amongst the expat community. Mel finds herself torn between her moral codes and lavish life in Singapore with luxurious pools, parties, and sex with virtual strangers. Rob gave her a clear option of leaving Singapore if she is not willing to join this so-called swinger’s club. What is going to happen next?? Should she stay or should she leave??
➡️ This genre and the topic of Swinger’s club is definitely not meant for everyone. But there was something more that the author tries to deliver through this book. In their relationship, Mel was the only one who was trying to fix things in between. But what made her completely uncomfortable is the thought of losing her moral values for someone who said he loved her but instead wanted her to be with him only for the sake of joining a wife swapping event.
➡️ “Torn Between” is an erotic romance book written by Karen A Miles. Everything right from the narration to character development then the plot development was done on point.
➡️ The writing style was also very lucid, flowy, and easy to understand. What disappointed me was the character of Melissa. I wished her to be portrayed in a much stronger way so that she can be set as an inspiration for other girls who fall in such evil plans. There is a sequel to this book and I hope author will bring back the essence of Melissa character. Overall it was a good read.

Torn Between by the author Karen A Miles is a story about our young, naive protagonist Mellisa Harrison who was in relationship with Rob. The story starts with Mellisa on a flight to Singapore because her boyfriend Rob had asked her to move to Singapore from UK. While moving to Singapore, Mellisa was unaware of the fact that Rob will ask her to join Singapore Swingers' Club, a private wife swapping monthly event among the expat community.
Mellisa was confused. She started wondering whether she should follow her moral values or she should enjoy the luxurious life of big parties. When she went ahead with the later, she found herself attracted to a good looking, sexy and dark eyes guy named Harry. Read the story to know how things went ahead?
This book gave me vibes to experience luxurious life, to travel in first class, to explore a beautiful city like Singapore, etc. Rules of Swingers Club and it's concept shocked me a little as I wasn't aware about it earlier.
The narration is smooth and clear. The language is easy to understand. The story is intriguing that's why I binge read it. I would recommend this book to you if you are comfortable with reading R rated book. Reading this was a great experience for me.
4.5/5

I love reading romance fictions. Recently I got my hands on Torn Between by the author Karen A Miles. It is a romace novel but R rated. The story features a simple and innocent girl Mellisa in a relationship with Rob. On Rob's insistance, she left UK to explore the life of Singapore. Everything was going well in Singapore until Rob told Mellisa about the Swingers Club, a private wife swapping event. After listening to this, Mellisa felt like ground skipping from under her feet.
Mellisa was stuck between two worlds. One where she can't go against her moral values and the other is the tempting luxurious life having pool, parties and sex with strangers. Dive yourself into this book to know which path Mellisa will walk. I feel sad for Mellisa as she was doing everything she was asked so she can save her relationship. This is how God has made simple girls. I loved this whole story and the whole idea of Stringer Club. Obviously I won't give a try to something like this 🙈 but I am definitely impressed about reading it. Since book contains mature content so it is adviced only for the adults. I am looking to read more books from the author.

Torn Between is a R Rated romance fiction by the author Karen A Miles. This is a unique story with unique vibes. The protagonist of the story are Melissa and Rob. They were in relationship. When Rob got the job in Singapore, he asked Melissa to leave everything behind in UK and move to Singapore. There were so many adventures waiting for Melissa in Singapore, the kind she hasn't imagine.
After deciding between whether to respect her moral values or to enjoy the luxurious life of Swingers Club, she chooses the later. Pool parties, making out with strangers was all new to Melissa. In the Swingers Club, romance bloomed between Harry (a member of Swingers Club) and Melissa.
I haven't read this kinda story till now. Although I like romance fiction a lot but this one is different and in a good way. Swingers Club and it's rule will make you astonished. After reading this book, I want to explore the streets of Singapore. Nice plot set in the backdrop of Singapore.

Torn Between is a romance fiction by the author Karen A Miles that features Mellisa Harrison. Mellisa was an innocent girl and has a boyfriend named Rob. Rob asked her to move to Singapore with him. Mellisa quite unsure about it agreed to move only to make her relationship work.
Many girls can relate themselves to Mellisa who keep on doing things they don't like just to save their relationship.
As her life continued in Singapore, Rob took her to Swingers' Club. This is something Mellisa haven't imagined even in her wildest dreams. The concept scared me a little initially and I was worried about Mellisa. I know it's a fiction but still.
The plot of the story is gripping. I read this on weekend and I finished this story in 3 sittings. The story is written well and I definitely recommend this to my fellow readers.
