TORN is a standalone full length 100,000 words contemporary standalone romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger (who needs them right?). This book covers a sensitive subject and is advised you read this at your discretion.
This story surely packs a punch. It was so emotionally ridden and very dark. This story was about Nicole and her adopted brother. Mason. Nicole has a very possessive and controlling boyfriend called Aaron. Mason can see how abusive Aaron is but nobody else can see it which is a little surprising as she is very close to her parents. No one questions the bruises and the personality change that Mason has noticed. Mason has had feelings for Nicole for a very long time. He is unable to see Nicole being abused so much. He decides to do something about it. How will this affect his relationships with Nicole and his adoptive parents? Will Nicole ever see how wrong Aaron is treating her? What will become of Mason’s feelings for Nicole? The book explored sensitive issues such anger issues and abuse in relationships. I loved how the book was written. It dealt with these issues in a beautiful but sensitive way. I felt so frustrated with Nicole when she made excuses for Aaron’s behaviour. I wanted to shake her and make her see the truth. I can understand that women and men who are in these destructive relationships cannot see the reality as it is. The book is through dual point of view which i like as we get an insight into what the other person is thinking and feeling. The story flowed well and loved the epilogue. Would have liked a longer epilogue. I felt sad to have the book end. Truly beautifully written and highly recommended.
An intriguing story of a young man who comes an abusive family who tries to save the young woman he loves from an abuser. To add extra spice to the situation, the young woman he is in love with is his adopted sister. TN King has done a wonderful job of showing the darker side of an abuser and the blinders that people where not to see what is in front of them.
I honestly only made it through 6% of the book, so it may have gotten better. I feel that it was poorly wrote. Sentences blended together, commas and periods in the wrong place. I just couldn't do it.
