I cannot even put into words how good this book was. 5 Stars are not enough!! M. Robinson once again creates a world that her readers want to be part of. The characters are so well developed that they feel like real people. The storyline had me on the edge of my seat from the dedication page.

Robinson writes a book that will stay with the readers long after they get to the last page. I cannot wait to see where this book goes. Definitely a top read of 2019.
ARC received for an honest review
Wowsers! I knew I needed more of Dr Aiden Pierce when I was reading Lost Boy, but I did not know how much I needed it.
I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, however Ms Robinson has just messed with my head and ripped my heart out, stomping all over it (and I am sure gleefully laughing at us readers).
The queen of angst had me in knots right from the prologue, and now as I have finished reading this one, those knots have not left my stomach.
Another beautiful, heartbreaking, big fat tear inducing story (one that should not be sneakily read at work, take warning!).
But now what am I going to do for the next 2 months until part 2 comes out? I can’t wait to get my hands on book 2.
Phenomenal! Heartbreaking! Emotional! These are only a few words to describe Choosing Us.
There is a reason M.Robinson is known as the Queen of Angst, and this book is the example why. From page one the Prologue I was hooked and full of emotions..okay more like bawling like a baby for a good part of the first couple chapters. She literally broke me I don’t know how to wrap my head around this and not be emotional.
M, always knows how hook you and keep you there page after page. I honestly have to say that I believe this is her best book yet. Going back to the contemporary romance feel with the angst, the feels and the sitting on the edge of our seats makes this a Top Read for me. And that cliffhanger! I didn’t see that coming for sure.
If you love M.Robinson and you love her contemporary romance read then this one is definitely for you. Grab your copy once it’s live and fall in love with Aiden Pierce like we all have.
The Queen Of Angst has done it again!! Dr. Aiden Pierce, god even his name is HOT!!! Dr. Pierce is the Chief Of Surgery at Docher memorial Hospital and on the side has been helping Creed and his MC for a while now as their unofficial doctor. This is the story of his life..falling for his childhood sweetheart,Bailey Ashton Pierce..losing her. As always M.Robinson gives a great backstory to her fabulous characters so we start with young Aiden & Bailey leading up to all the events that bring him to be the Man he is today. We also meet Camila. She becomes the new nanny for Aiden’s three children Journey,Jackson & Jagger. I don’t want to say to much and spoil this books but it is not what you are expecting and I need book two of this duet NOW!!!!
“Every tear…Every heartache…Every disappointment and accomplishment…
That brought us together in the end.”
I also loved all the side characters! Dante is a hoot and I can’t wait for Jackson’s book. He is quite the teenager lol! This is told in dual POV from Camila’s present POV and Aiden’s past POV’s. Absolutely brilliant way to write a book that I couldn’t put down and I need to know where this is going!!!!
Never has a book taken me on the emotional journey I experienced with Choosing Us. Aiden, the male lead will capture your heart as you walk through life with him, and experience his highest highs and lowest lows.. His desire to love and be loved in return is evident from early on. When his life is shaken at its core and he loses everything important to him he finds Bailey..his girl.. his air.. his reason for being. The life they experience together is painfully beautiful yet they still prevail. Proving that together they are unstoppable..until one day it’s gone… like ashes in the wind.
Camila comes from a tough neighborhood but the love of her family, her generous heart and strong will to be more has brought her to a place she now craves the most. Taking on the role of caring for a families children seems like a no-brainer considering how much she loves children., but she wasn’t prepared for how much this family would affect her. They are embedded in her soul and connecting with them and helping them with the pain that has brought them down is her sole priority, but will it break her too?
M. Robinson’s unique writing style once again introduces characters and a story that you can’t help but love as a reader. You will cry and laugh. Your heart will race, and you will want to scream but most of all YOU WILL NOT REGRET READING THIS AMAZING STORY
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I Bow down to the Queen of Angst!
M. Robinson held nothing back on Choosing UsI I was a mess within the first chapter and that’s just the beginning. The whole book was a rollercoaster of emotions. And yes there is a cliffhanger, but the wait is going to be sooooo worth it.
Aiden and Bailey met as children and it grew to a love one only hopes to experience. They were made for each other. But does everyone get that happily ever after they dream of?
Author M. Robinson is the reason I became a fan of cliffhangers. I’ve become addicted to angst and the suspense of being left on edge.
Can’t wait for Choosing You!
The queen of angst strikes again. This time she went back to her contemporary romance roots. And she knocked it out of the park. You met him in Lost Boy and El Pecador. But get ready for his very emotional story. She had me crying in the freaking prologue people. Aidens story starts off rough and we learn all about his sad and rough childhood. The vibes and feelings and emotions I felt every single thing right along with him. I wanted to get into the book and just hold him! She evoked all my emotions with this book and left them hanging on the cliff with that cliffhanger! So if you liked being pulled into a book that you cant put down then this is your book! Cant wait for Choosing You!
In Choosing Us, the first book in M. Robinson’s Pierced Hearts Duet, we meet Aiden and Bailey as children and are given pieces and glimpses into their lives past and present, in Aiden’s point of view and the point of view of Camilla, their nanny. Choosing Us is filled with precious moments, hilarity, and a moment or two of spice. It had me laughing, crying, left intrigued and wanting so much more. I cannot get enough of Aiden and Bailey, and need some answers.
M. Robinson does not disappoint ever. You can’t help but to fall in love with her characters. They’re strength, weaknesses, trials and tribulations are so relatable, ya just can’t but to cry with them sometimes. So far, Choosing Us is proving to be no different from her other work. I am truly looking forward to Choosing You.
My heart has been taken on an emotional roller-coaster. From the moment where a young Aiden has his world crashing down around him to the final chapter where an adult Aiden is at another crossroads. This journey is beautifully crafted to reveal Aiden’s journey to this point in his life as we step from the 7-year-old boy to now. Sadly, now we see him as a beast, a man so lost that he’s forgotten compassion. Camila is an amazing, funny, confident woman that is working hard at nursing school to get out of the barrio. When a nanny position is posted, she jumps at the chance to have a more stable income to help finance school. She never expects to meet an amazing baby, Journey, that steals her heart along with her 2 challenging brothers, Jackson and Jagger. As she begins to lose her heart to these kids while she infuses life and love back into their home, yet she wonders at the sadness that still exists in their home. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
M Robinson is one of my go to authors. I always know when I pick up one of her books I will feel every emotion. This one will make you cry within the first few pages and it will pull at your heartstrings with every word. I can already tell that book 2 is going to ruin me but in such a good way!!!!
5 HEARTFELT STARS!! This epic love story will stick with me forever. There is so much love in Aiden and Bailey’s story you will feel it in your bones. Their journey is full of angst like no other and you will not be able to put this book down. I read this book in 1 sitting and loved every word. M. Robinson’s storytelling is PERFECTION, I can’t get enough of her words.
My mind is blown and emotions on overload as I try to find the words to review Choosing Us by M. Robinson. I don’t know what I was expecting going into this, but what I read is above and beyond anything I could have imagined. The range of emotions the reader will go through are gut-wrenching and exhilarating.
The hurt and anger you will feel for what Aiden and Bailey went through as children will have you sick to your stomach and wanting to scream that any child has to endure such things in an environment meant to protect and help children. At the same time, you will be in awe watching the strength these two have to survive and the battles they overcome. You will swoon and fall in love with their relationship, their connection, their bond, their unwavering, unbreakable love.
What throws me in such a conundrum is how I feel about Camilla, what I want for her. For them. I absolutely love her connection with Journey. Her battles with Jackson; how she will not give up on him, will not walk away from him. Always trying to prove that he matters, that he is important and loved.
Gaww, I’m dying to get the answers to the questions I have. What happened? Where is she? WHY? What will happen next. What crazy, emotional, heart-breaking twists and turns will M. Robinson throw at us next? What direction will this story take? I don’t know who or what I want to happen, because it can’t be both ways. I’m so torn!! I need Choosing Us, NOW!
I’m still reeling after finishing this book. Choosing Us (Book One in The Pierced Hearts Duet) definitely packs one heck of an emotional punch! The writing is excellent, the plot is unique and so unexpected. There are different aspects to the storyline which blend together beautifully and effortlessly. Of course it wouldn’t be an M. Robinson novel without powerful, soul crushing and heartbreaking moments.
Choosing Us really did a number on my emotions. I was back and forth as to how I felt about Aiden and Bailey. The struggle about the love/hate relationship was real. Their love story started out as all consuming and you could feel it through the pages. I’m a real sucker for a heart gripping romance and Ms. Robinson did a fantastic job of showing us how their love story began (my heart was immediately invested) as children being raised in the foster care system and all they had were each other. Although they build a life and family together, somewhere along the way, things change and these two are no longer what they used to be. Both have lost their way and not only gave up on each other but the family as well. In comes Camila, the proficient and ever so caring nanny and I swear, Ms. Robinson couldn’t have written a better character. She is so lovable, sassy, hard working and selfless. She breathed new life and love into the children’s lives and they desperately needed it so bad.
There is definitely more to this story that meets the eye and I strongly encourage reading it as you will not be disappointed. The ending absolutely knocked me off my feet and I cannot wait to see what’s in store for Aiden, Bailey and Camila. I’m so glad Ms. Robinson went back to writing contemporary romance as Choosing Us is everything and I cannot WAIT to read Choosing You.
Some authors have the ability to bring their characters to life and make you, as a reader, love them like they’re real people and that’s exactly what M Robinson has done with the characters in this book. I’m not going into the story AT ALL. I couldn’t even if I wanted to because I have too many unanswered questions. So what can I tell you? The Queen Of Angst has lived up to her name with Choosing Us. Full of heartbreak, a female character that I adore and a man I’m not quite sure of yet, this book had me hooked from the first page. Aidens story broke my heart, Dr Pierce hasn’t had it easy and getting his past from his POV makes it extremely easy to feel for him. The children in this book will win you over so fast. I’m just as invested in them as I am in Aidens story.
I’m a huge fan of M Robinson and I can honestly say this is one of my favourite books of hers. The emotions, the characters, the story are all done perfectly. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting with this book but it wasn’t this. I’m left feeling quite conflicted about how I feel about certain people which I wasn’t expecting. I have theories, I have questions, I have a massive book hangover. Now I just need the next book to get my answers and find out what happens next for Aiden and his family.
M is not known as the Queen of angst for nothing so get ready she is gonna shred your heart with this one. Always expect the unexpected is a good motto to have when reading this authors words. Like me you probably had a few ideas about the direction Aiden and Bailey’s story would go. Everyone one of my expectations were blown apart by the time I got to chapter one ! Aiden slayed me his past and what’s he’s dealing with in the present just makes you want to surround him in love and protection.
It wouldn’t be a book by M if we didn’t have a cliffhanger and this ones a humdinger. Choosing You can’t come quick enough for me.

5 fantastic stars!!
Omg this is book one of “The Pierced Hearts Duet” and yes it ends in a cliffhanger. I. NEED. BOOK. TWO. NOW!!!
This author tends to rock my world repeatedly!! Ugh I knew Aiden’s story was gonna hurt me. But I had no clue it was gonna hurt this bad. What in the hell happened?!?!
This is Aiden and Baileys story (or is it)…
Aiden and Bailey have been each other’s person since the age of 7. Fast forward many years and Aiden is a sexy doctor and the couple has three beautiful children. Except where the hell is Bailey?!?!!!
“I choose us, Bailey Pierce. I will always choose us. No matter what. I. Choose. Us.”
I feel like this book toyed with me. I have sooo many questions. Omg I need more!! Camilla is so damn perfect but what is going on?!!!! I can’t tell you anything because you need to read this blind. Trust me this is a must read!
This book is beautiful and haunting and so damn good!! I read this book in one sitting, nothing could pull me away!! Good job Monica!!
**I received this book as an ARC and in return gave my honest review**
When we briefly glimpsed into Aiden and Bailey lives in previous novels, I always new that their story would be an emotional roller coaster ride, however, I underestimated how much! This talented author had done an unexpected switch back to a contemporary romance plot, and what an unexpected and unique story this is. This is a beautifully written flawless story, which is raw, gritty, heartbreaking, and gut-wrenching and filled with angst, drama, and is an all round powerful masterpiece. I cannot wait until May for the second part of this duet.
I always question my sanity every time I willing pick up an M. Robinson book, and seriously I can’t, I just can’t with this book.
Every word that she writes pierces your heart through and through. Right from the beginning her words grab you by the throat and doesn’t let go. I have been crying, laughing, theorizing and all-out cussing her out because the moment you think you have the story, a bombshell drops that make your head do a 180.
The character’s journey gives you hope, their connection makes you believe in soulmates, and their devastation will shatter your heart to pieces. Be warned! Be ready for the angst that you won’t see coming.
And now I am sitting here eagerly waiting on pins and needles for part two in hopes of them finding their ever after and for my broken abused heart to be mended again.
This book will get you at the prologue. You wont be able to control your emotions while reading this love story. Monica gets you in and won’t let you go. She wants your undivided attention and she’ll get it.
If you read M’s books then you understand. If your new to M, welcome and enjoy the ride!!!
