CHOOSING US” is book 1in M. Robinson’s ‘Pierced Hearts’ duet. Spoken in dual pov’s from Camila’s present pov and Aiden’s past pov. Remember what goes around, comes around….OMG this book just about killed me with all the emotional angst and drama. I was an emotional basket case. M. Robinson really went in for the kill with this duet – book 1.
The story is full of pain, of angst, of heartbreak. I didn’t know if I was coming or going due to the intensity of the pain and the feels in this read. Camila’s and Aiden’s story is one that had be gripped and nothing else could release me until the cliffhanger of an ending. I honestly don’t think I can say anything to express how powerful this story is… it’s as if the emotions literally touch at one point heaven with all it’s glorious bright transcendent colors and then fall drastically into the mortal realm to hurt with all those base human feelings. The first book showcases the trials of love and the difficultly to overcome those struggles. Without saying too much…I need book 2 like i need to breathe!!! M. Robinson has written a beautifully gripping book of love and loss, of heartbreak and redemption, of angst and romance. This is so worth having panda eyes and sleepless nights…#totalbookhangover
My Rating: 4.9 stars ******
The Queen of Angst is back!!
This story welcomes M. Robinson back into the contemporary romance category. This story will engage all the emotions as the real Queen of angst is known for. A story of intrigue, touches of humor, and of course a few tears. Even though this is just the beginning of the tale, this story will make you salivate for more.
This Author is a genius…there I said it.
I’ve been dying for the dear Dr. Aiden’s story since I read Lost Boy, he was just one of those characters that stay with you. The thing that threw me so much about how this story was told, was the HOW and the WHO told it, and it just was perfect. I’m not going to give it away, but just know that my heart broke from the first page, and I inhaled and felt every emotion from there on out. Flitting from gorgeous, romantic, and mostly heartbreaking memories that set the stage without really answering all your questions (because duet, guys) to present with a storyteller that has her own story to tell, intermingled with familiar faces, and new characters that really sucked me right in. If you are EVER in a reading funk, M. will bust you right through it each and every time, and I sit here reflecting on the sheer magic of this story, I will sit here and anticipate where this amazing story will go next…because that ending…WHEW!!! I thank the Author for providing a copy to review.

Well my heart is definitely pierced…punctured, broken, split in half…angst doesn’t even begin to describe all the heartache and heartbreak within the pages of this story. I need my heart back in one piece, but now I’m going to have to wait for the other half of this duet for M. Robinson to make everything right!
Through flashback scenes we get a very clear picture of Aiden as a little boy…the pain and heartbreak he suffered, then meeting Bailey and the hard life they were both forced to live growing up. Having each other was the calm in their storm.
The present day chapters weren’t much easier on the heart as we get to know Camila and the role she plays in this story. This is really about all I’m going to say about this book because it needs to be read with zero spoilers. But I will say that you’ll need some tissues and a quiet reading spot with no interruptions for this emotionally charged, unputdownable story!

Choosing Us is the first book in the Pierced Hearts duet so yes it will end in a “why, Monica, why?” We new there would be a cliffy, but your heart sure does get Pierced reading this story numerous times and boy do those Buttons get pushed too. This story is told in dual POV. M you never cease to amaze us at the stories you create. There is just a right amount of crazy, love, suspense and tears when we read your books. If you have read prior books by M you know that not only will you love this story, but you will be asking “WTF did I just read” and the devil is getting more sin worthy as these stories happen. If this is your first read by M, welcome to the club! And prepare yourself to hold your device or book when reading. Oh yeah and have that drink ready cause you may need to restart your heart.
We briefly met Aiden in a prior book, and we knew we needed his story, but what you don’t expect is how it ends up. Aiden and Bailey both have heartbreaking stories from childhood. They were a true love story until they weren’t. WTH, just when you think you may get answers we are still on the “is this real or is M messing with us?” or “where oh where are you?” You feel the love and pain by Aiden, Bailey and the kids, but you also feel the connection that Camila experiences with the family. Camila has questions just like we do and that leads us to who is the chosen one? Guess we must wait to find out when Choosing You releases! Is it release day for book two yet?!
A beautifully moving start to the Pierced Hearts duet. M.Robinson is a master at pulling all the feels out of her readers, this book is no exception.
Aiden and Bailey didn’t have an easy life growing up but they vowed to stick together. Aiden promised to marry her as soon as they was adults. It looked like they would have the life they always wanted. Then everything changed, can they get everything back?
Where do I begin? Monica promised us an amazing new read with all the ‘GoodOlBoys’ feels we all come to love and she DELIVERED!!!!
The characters leap off the pages and sweep me away. This story was angsty, emotional and downright heartbreaking at times. I cried, laughed, sighed and even cussed a few times.
This book will deliver all the angst, feels, twist and turns that we all come to love about Monica Robinson and her words/stories. She is truly an amazing author and I cannot wait to see what she has in story for us with the second part of Dr. Aiden Pierce’s story Choosing You!
Well as usual this author gives us a story that pulls on your heartstrings and also leaves you hanging when it gets good. Choosing Us is the first book of the Pierced Hearts duet, and so far so good. Aiden and Bailey have been a part of this world for a while and have shown up in a few previous books. I have always wanted to know more about Aiden and it appears that we are finally gonna get his story, but this book is just the beginning.
This book brings us through the years of Aiden and Bailey growing up and leaves us with their devastating present. Now we have Camila stepping up where they can not and my heart isn’t sure which way to go. There are still so many questions and things left unsaid. All I know right now is that Aiden is broken and I’m not sure why exactly…
The next book is set to release in May and I can’t not wait to find out what happens next! I highly encourage you to get started now so that you are ready for the conclusion, this is one you aren’t gonna want to miss!

In true M.Robinson fashion: always expect the unexpected! Book one in the Pierced Hearts duet is phenomenal!!!
I feel like I say this with every book from M. Robinson but what??? Choosing Us was some next level feelings. Holy geez talk about angst. Talk about longing and heartbreak and hope and pain. Talk about love…
I loved seeing the Aiden’s progression. From the scared little boy, to the hopeful and protective teen. To the loving young man and to the broken man. All sides of him were fascinating and the more I learned, the more I wanted to know…
But it was Camila with her sass and kind heart that made this work. A perfect, present balance to the pain and absence of Aiden in his children’s lives. I loved how she saw each of the children for who they were. She understood their hurt and worked to make them each feel seen. Accepted. Understood. Even when they pushed back, and tested her at every turn.
I could feel it bubbling, simmering, the moment when Camila would finally meet and confront Aiden. To find out what was really going on in his house and life. But nothing could’ve prepared her for how it would all shake out. My eyes are still huge. My jaw is still hanging open. And my heart is aching. Gah!! M. Robinson- why do I let you do this to me?! I need to know- like yesterday- what’s in store for Camila and Aiden.
