A single glance. A fleeting moment. A solitary touch could make everything worth it. This was my breaking point. This was where I lost myself completely. I did the only thing that made sense. The only thing I had left to give. I begged her…To take me with her.Book 2: The Conclusion to The Pierced Hearts Duet
MIND. BLOWN.
Y’all, she did it again!!! Oh, the ANGST, the LOVE, the TEARS. My heart is so full!!
SPEECHLESS!!!! I am absolutely speechless after reading Robinson’s Choosing You, it is absolutely breathtaking. This second part to the Pierced Hearts Duet completely blew me away. The interactions between this couple actually jump out to you and go directly to your soul. The intensity of the emotions is almost more than one can take, but is more than worth it. I was so excited to go back to Oak Island and Robinson did not disappoint. Choosing you and the complete Pierced Hearts Duet is definitely one of my favorite reads of 2019 and one of my favorites that M Robinson has written. All hail the queen!
OH MY! What a conclusion to THE PIERCED HEART DUET!
CHOOSING YOU ended perfectly, with all of the questions answered from CHOOSING US, and even more to ask, as I soooo look forward to what’s next.
I loved this story and this family. It’s just such an amazing read, with all of FEELS! And all of these characters in this duet, you simply cannot help to invest in. They’re funny, loving and relatable. This story line in ways is very relatable. Especially if you’ve ever loved and lost.
So yes! Choosing You… this entire duet is a MUST READ! You will not want to put it down.
“As if right on cue, God chose this moment to bring us together in ways that might haunt us forever.”
WOW. THIS. BOOK. WAS. ABSOLUTELY. FABULOUS! I can NOT recommend nor stress enough how much you should read this book… Like NOW! This is hands down my favorite M. Robinson book to date! Every book she writes only gets better than the last. This is hands down her best work to date. I am still reeling and speechless after finishing this story. Once I started reading I could not physically stop. I just had to devour every last angst filled word in a few hours time. This is one of the most raw, and consuming endings to a duet that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Choosing You was a emotional roller coaster ride I wanted to ride again and again. I have never felt such gripping, heart racing emotion from a book quite like I did with this one. I cried. I laughed. I swooned. With each page I turned I found myself wondering what emotion I was going to be feeling next. This was one of the most bittersweet HEA’s EVER. I loved getting glimpses of past characters, while also emersing myself in the new. If I had any complaints its that the story had to end. I WANTED MORE. I could have continued reading Aidens story for the rest of my life and never grown tired of it. It was everything I wanted and SO. MUCH. MORE!
“You make me want to be a better father for my children, a better doctor for my patients, a better man… for you. Do you have any idea how much you affect me?”
Aiden has officially become one of my favorite heros to date! He will destroy your heart, while making you love every minute of it. Everything about Dr Pierce commanded your attention. He was intense, protective, and utterly intoxicating. He truly was a paradox of contradictions. I have never loved to hate a character so much. One minute he had me melting in swoons, to only have me melting in anger the next minute. When Aiden brings the heat, he brings the heat. Older men are not usually my thing. However “Dr Daddy” can talk dirty to me any time he wants. My heart shatteted so many times for Aiden throughout this story. His vulnerability had this over powering way of touching your soul.
“She was breathtakingly beautiful sitting there. Her dark brown hair gleamed in the rays of the sunlight coming in through the bay window. Her soft, creamy skin flawless as ever. She looked like a dream. My dream.”
*5 STARS*
Will NEVER and I mean NEVER feel like enough stars for this book. I would give it 100 if I could. If you have not started this duet you are truly missing out. It will break your heart, while slowly putting it back together. This is by far my favorite read of 2019. I can NOT wait for Harley and Jackson’s story! My heart could not be more happy this will not be the last we see of Aiden.
Be still my beating heart. I didn’t know how much my heart could take while reading the second part of this duet. M is the queen of angst and she doesn’t hold back when it comes to her characters. They come to life and nothing will stop them from telling their story, their way. Dr. Pierce broke my heart in so many (good) ways. He loves with everything he has and doesn’t hold back. Camila is so feisty and loves to argue (she is my girl!) The epilogue had my laughing so hard. That ending is the worth every broken piece of my heart!!!
I do believe my heart could us a few good Rom Coms or some deadly thrillers after the emotional turmoil I’ve felt for all these fictional characters lately. M. Robinson gave me every single answer I wanted… she filled my heart with so much… everything. Choosing You might have made my heart physically ache and tears to fall but it also left me with a content and happy feeling in my soul.
This isn’t JUST an emotional battering… M. Robinson brings out all the feelings. If you’re a swooner… you better hold onto something because Choosing You has brought their A game. I swooned, hard, I laughed, I loved, I tensed… and I did a whole lotta crying!! So go in with tissues and an open heart… you won’t have any left at the end!!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
Ahhhhhhh! This is what I’ve been waiting for! Thank goodness Choosing You picked up right where the first book left off because I needed to know what happened. And M. Robinson did not let me down one bit. My heart raced and I had to remind myself to breathe more than once during this emotionally intense read.
I thought I loved Camila in book one but she was on another level of awesome here. Her heart bled for those Pierce children and their father. It showed in the way she didn’t back down for Aiden when he was at his worst. And trying his best to get her to walk away because he couldn’t handle his feelings. Longing. Want. Desire. Guilt. Love. Seeing the change in him was my favorite part of this book. He stepped up big time and the way he went to battle with Camila for her was swoon city. He proved his adoration through his actions because that is who he was.
Being a M. Robinson book, there was a twist on the horizon and when it came, my jaw was on the floor. I didn’t see or expect that at all. But it was absolutely perfect. It only strengthened the connection that Aiden and Camila felt. Her trust and acceptance gave him the courage to reveal the brutal reality of what happened to Bailey. My heart was a puddle of mush reading about it. I felt his anguish and understood his actions so much better.
From start to finish, Choosing You had me hanging on every word. Aiden and Camila’s journey was unconventional to say the least but it was theirs. The conclusion to the Pierced Hearts duet was everything I wanted. The pain. The turmoil. The guilt. The tension. The fear. The laughter. The joy. The love. M. Robinson made me feel it all in this crazy, emotional ride.
M. Robinson absolutely killed it with Choosing You. This emotional and dramatic conclusion to the Pierced Hearts Duet is beyond amazing!! The writing and storyline is superb with unexpected twists and the suspense had me on the edge of my seat. I cried, laughed, clenched my thighs(she ever disappoints when it comes to creating hot and heavy sex scenes)and swooned at the romantic gestures. There were also times when my heart melted one minute and then broke the next. However, Ms. Robinson always finds a way to put my heart and soul back together and she came through with Choosing You.
Fate stepped in, all the missing pieces were put together and everything came full circle just as it should have. I highly recommend reading the Pierced Hearts Duet as it will consume you and I am highly anticipating reading Jackson and Harley’s book.
Welcome to my top book boyfriend list Dr. Aiden Pierce! I have been waiting for the conclusion to this story and M. Robinson blew it out of the water!!!! This is one of those stories where you need a minute to come back to reality when you’re finished. This book had everything. It was hot, sexy, a roller coaster of emotions. I swooned, I laughed, I cried and I swooned some more. These characters will stay with me for a long long time. I can’t wait to see what M. Robinson has for us next!
Aiden had only loved one woman and he lost her. Now he’s left raising the kids and mourning her death. When Camila gets interviewed for a nanny job, she’s hopeful because she loves kids. The job will pay her enough to help with nursing school. Can Aiden let Camila be good for the kids? Will she get job? Can she breakdown his walls?
I don’t know what to say more than I LOVED THIS BOOK AND THE DUET!
The words just keep struggling to get out because I was right in my review of Choosing Us , there was something really clever I didn’t see coming but Choosing You gives you all the answers and some more!
One of the things I most loved about this book, was the capacity of picturing Aiden Pierce, exactly as he looks like in the cover, just from M. Robinson words. His looks, his actions, his growls, his smell… this meant everything to me!
The plot is very clever. The story very well written. The end made me swoon and laugh!
This duet is going into my Locked In My Mind Forever shelf!!!
So Bittersweet, So Beautiful
I just loved this story. The storyline was a perfect continuation of the first book in the Pierced Heart series, Choosing Us. Monica’s only gets better. The crafting that she does the story makes you feel the storyline and that you are not just reading a book. The way Monica writes makes you feel every emotion that her characters are feeling. Aiden is a broken man when Camila comes into his life. She is there in his life just living and taking care of his kids. It’s another intense story. Once again Monica lives up to her reputation as the Queen of Angst. Good news this book has an HEA but it does have a surprise at the end! But if you read Monica’s book you sort of come to expect that this is the way she writes. Love this book and the series!
This is the second and concluding part of this duet, and carries straight on from the ending of “Choosing You”. This story is an emotional and heartbreaking journey which had me wondering in what direction this story was going to go. I was totally gutted while reading and as is the norm from M, she breaks your heart, picks you up and gives you a shake, and off we go again! This is an extraordinary tale which is intense, powerful, and beautiful, as well as having angst, the plot and character developments all lead to a phenomenal masterpiece. All I can say is have plenty of tissues on hand; you are going to need them!
Oh my heart, I can’t tell you how much I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time with this book.
M. Robinson has been one of my favorite authors ever since she first started with VIP and I always knew that her books would have an impact on me because they are always full of heartfelt moments.
Dr. Pierced is a shell of a man, who is struggling and due to what he’s been through he has lost interest in everything and anything except his work. He is dedicated to his job day and night and due to that, he has become an absent father. What can he do to remedy that and who will help him overcome that bitterness and sadness?? You’ll have to read it in order to find out 😉 I encourage you to read it too.
The struggles he went through and the things he had to do to change his relationship with his kids was just so amazing.
This book had my emotions all over the place. One minute I’m sniffling and the next I’m laughing. Jackson, Jagger and Journey were what you call the epitome of awesomeness. I loved these kids so much.
This duet was seriously one amazing journey that left me with my heart completely full of love for all these characters!
Choosing You in is the second book in the Pierced Heart series. If you haven’t read Choosing Us, I’d advise you to get that and read it first as Choosing You picks up right where Choosing Us leaves off.
Monica’s books are always is full of all the feels, you will laugh you will get frustrated for the characters, then you will feel like you are experiencing the loss and pain with them. Be prepared for everything. Monica will not disappoint you when you choose this book.
After the rough start working in the Pierce home, Camila would have never predicted what had just happened. Being fired, phone broken and pushed out of the house. Little did she no that everything would change from this point on. She finds her self moving into the Pierce house to be a live in nanny, and feeling she is more confused than every. Dr Pierce is coming home more and eating meals with his family. Slowly the Pierce’s seem more like a family than Camila has ever seen. Will this mean that she will soon be looking for a new job and home? Or will this continue to include her?
Ummm Monica Robinson, Ma’am I need you to come to the front of the VIP congregation, we…I mean I need to have a word with you. Good Lord woman how dare you make me ugly cry this way, how could you rip my heart out and Pierce (pun intended) it back together the way you did for the umpteenth time? Why do I keep coming back for more with you?!?! Why, because you’re the Queen of Angst for a reason and as I always say whatever you’re selling I’m one clicking without hesitation. You are still undefeated and keeping that title for the foreseeable future. Yup, that’s all you. You got that.
I wish book ratings went higher than 5 stars. This book, this duet deserves more than that. M. Robinson continues to give us heart wrenching, heartbreaking, amazing, emotional stories that resonate with your entire soul. This story is the kind that sticks with you, will give you the worst book hang over and have you in a mindless state asking where do I go from here? Because you need more of her words, you just want and need the story to continue.
Just when you think you know where the storylines are going, M. Robinson always goes left and down the block, 8 towns over, 3 states away and an ocean or two with her storyline. This one had me shaking my head, talking to myself saying “this woman is absolutely brilliant because I was not expecting that”. Trust me folks whatever you think is happening get it out of your head because YOU ARE NOT READY!!!!
I got every single emotion, every single feel. Laughter, tears, smiles, pain, tears, shock, tears, swooning. Dr. Pierce was everything I imagined he would be. Hot, rough, rude and gorgeous. My heart ached for him and his family, for all they went through and dealt with. I rejoiced when they got their HEA.
If the cover model alone doesn’t convince you to read this book, well I suggest getting your eyes examined. But if ya need a bit more persuading, read it because it’s a beautifully told heartbreaking story with a man who loves so fiercely it’s overpowering, you’ll root for him and and you’ll be happy in the end when all the pieces fall in place. One of my top reads of 2019. Mrs. Robinson YOU. DID. THAT!!!
Powerful, heart-breaking, hopeful as we experience the inner workings of Aiden’s turmoil and pain. His reaction to Camila is intense and something he wants to fight because his one true love is Bailey. But as he sees the joy and love Camila brings back to his family and home, he finds it harder and harder to resist what his heart desires. Camila is blown away by Aiden’s intensity, his passion and drive to take care of those around him that he loves and cares for. She is used to standing on her own and taking care of herself, having him embrace her as an integral part of his family as she cares for his children surprises her. The true beauty of this journey is how Aiden finally opens up to someone about his pain over Bailey allowing him to find a pathway to healing. Camila shows her strength and passion as she provides a safe place for him to open up. Truly a breathtaking road to acceptance, forgiveness and love. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
The best duet ever!!! All the feels…joy, sadness, anticipation, surprised, trust, love. Such a beautiful second chance romance. You’ll definitely fall more in love with Dr. Aiden Pierce.
