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
The book arrived on my kindle and I started it straight away. I read it in one sitting staying up late into the night. My first feelings when I finished were ones of disappointment because it wasn’t the story I wanted. I slept on it pulled my big girl panties on and read it again and came to these conclusions.
You know what I realised … I didn’t write the book, the characters weren’t in my head giving me their truths so who am I to judge. I would never spoil the book for readers. You will need the essential survival kit of tissues wine and chocolate.
Aiden took my heart wrung it out and didn’t give it back. Family, loyalty and love are the cornerstones of this story. By the time I was half way through my second read I was a believer in this story. Another thing I realised was I should have just had faith in the author I promise I’ll never doubt you ever again
What’s next Jackson and Harley and that makes me a happy woman.

After reading book one your left with a WTF happened moment. Aiden is broken and he’s only going through the motions in his life, but struggling with feelings he is having for Camila, it feels like betraying his wife.
Camila is there to help with the house and children, she knows she loves the children, and she’s falling in love with Aiden, but where is his wife.
When you find out what happened to the family, it’s real, it’s raw and you feel the pain, but as always there is a happily ever after, but with who is the question.
I dont even know where to start. My anxiety was at all time high from page one. I had questions, questions I knew we’re going to be answered. The anticipation of this story was killing me. I locked myself away in my room as soon as it hit my kindle. I devoured every word. I felt the emotions of these characters like they were my own. I smiled, I laughed.I didn’t cry, no, I ducking bawled! And I’m not a pretty cried, I’m talling face wet from tears, face puffy slightly red and snot running down my face. This is an epic, beautifully written love story that will without a doubt stay with me.
Hands down one of the beat duets I’ve read for 2019
Monica you are the Queen of angst
Wow! My heart is in shambles. I don’t know how I will recover after this beautiful masterpiece. I’ve haven’t cried big fat ugly tears like that in a long time!! Trust me when I say have tissues near by when you read this. This duet is a journey of epic proportions. This story grabs onto your heartstrings and doesn’t let go from beginning to end. There really is no way to put into words how incredibly beautiful this story is. There is a powerful message of forgiving yourself, letting yourself live again, and a second chance at love. These characters consumed me. They will stay with me for a very long time and this book is getting added to my all time favourites. The writing isnt just emotional, it is angsty and intense and passionate. The chemistry and connection between Aiden and Camila was addicting and I couldn’t get enough of them, this story and all the characters. Now I am desperate for Aiden’s oldest son Jackson’s story next. Especially after that tiny cliffhanger! His story is told in the Love Hurts Duet. CAN’T WAIT.
This is the 2nd book in the series. You will need to read Book 1, Choosing Us, as book 2 picks up right away.
Camilla is someone I rooted for from the very beginning. Her heart was pure and intentions noble.
Aiden suffered a loss that broke him, and in doing so, he left behind those who loved him most. I believe Aiden’s kids – Jackson & Jagger suffered the most with the loss of him being around the house. He wasn’t there for them. Aiden needed to be there for his kids and he wasn’t. Yes, he was suffering, but, they were suffering also, they needed to be loved and cared for also.
I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.
Wow! Choosing You was amazing! This leaves off from book 1 and resumes. This brings all the feels and make sure you have some tissues. I normally don’t cry when reading books and M Robinson has done it to me with this one. Emotional and heart worthy good story. Camila turns that family around and feel loved. I especially loved the jokes and banter between Camila and Jackson. It’s a rip your heart out but is mended back together! Can’t wait for Jackson and Harley’s story!
Oh my poor little ravaged heart- this story ripped it apart and glued it back together again.What an epic conclusion to this angst, unexpectedly moving, deeply emotional duet. I feel both gutted and rejuvenated all at once- only M. Robinson has the power to punch me so sharply with an emotional avalanche.
This review will be a bit vague because I don’t want to spoil anyone on book one or book 2- but know this, the first book in this duet wasn’t at all what I thought it was going to be- but I was hooked. I wanted to know and understand these complex parallel stories- figure out the heart of poor broken Aiden, climb inside Bailey to understand here, protect sweet Cami- and then that ending- I needed answers, I needed hope.
I rarely cry in books- but this one had me ugly crying, multiple times. That is how deeply Monica had me feeling for these characters- how absorbed I was in their hope, their pain, their tensions. What I loved about this duet is that this wasn’t just words I read, someone else’s story I enjoyed- i EXPERIENCED this book. Deep in my soul- down to my center of my beating heart. These characters, their intriguing and complex journey, the bittersweet nature of the love between them, it drew me in and held me captive- I felt every smile, every kiss, every tear, as if they were my own.
Monica’s writing is so accessible- so inviting- this story feels so intimate, the words have their own heartbeat. The way she wove this narrative was so clever- so captivating- we’re both in the thick of it and can never fully understand, because we don’t have all the pieces. But, when we finally get the whole picture- my heart fell out of my chest, breathless turning pages. What an epic conclusion- and the epilogue is just so delightful- a sweet and charming reward after this emotional rollercoaster. My tears weren’t yet dry before I added happy ones on top.
M. Robinson is the queen of angsty and emotionally turbulent love stories- but it is clear to me that she understands love better than many. Her stories depict how love is not a fairytale- it is complex and complicated, full of contradictions and challenge, winding and jagged path, but that when you find it- find the person that calls to your soul, there is nothing more powerful, more consuming. She always delivers all the epicness of romance but gives us the real, the gritty, the nuanced and raw journey it takes to get there. Grab your Kleenex and some wine- you’ll need it.
Beautiful and wonderful ending! This book has all the feels!!!!!!!! Emotional and raw …. Just wonderful!!!!!!
Loved it
As good as the first 1. Great. Read!
Oh my gosh. This book, the emotions, it’s so good. I need my very own Dr. Pierce. This book is so good from start to finish, just like the first one.
How does my heart break and feel full at the same time ?
This duet was devastatingly, heart wrenchingly , gut grippingly emotional – a real tear jerker! . I cried so many times from sad tears to happy tears. This book was everything . Reading a tragic story at the same time as a romance with one of the main characters involved In both .
Aiden – swoon worthy , gorgeous aiden . I loved his character . I loved him in his appearances of lost boy too , but this cemented just what a wonderful human being he is. He cares so deeply and wants to look after everyone he loves . He’s broken and harsh at times yes but gees he has every reason to be .
Camila is fun and vibrant and everything this family needed .
I loved loved loved this duet .
I also loved that there were glimpses of other characters from books by this author! I loved that that community keep s growing and interacting and helps make their world more real and involved ! Makes me want to re read them all again too !!
I’m going to go care for my battered heart now, in this severe book hang over after finishing this one . 😉
Gahhh!! OMG. This book! Allll the feels in this incredible conclusion to the Pierced Hearts Duet. This has been a highly anticipated read for me, and Choosing You did not disappoint! It kept me guessing until the very end! It’s such a beautiful, frustrating, and heartbreaking story.
If you’re looking for a unique, slow-burn, emotional read, I highly recommend you read this duet!
5 PERFECT ENDING STARS!! Wow, the conclusion was perfect!! My Aiden had a rough time and you feel every emotion he has. My heart was pulled out crushed and put back together again….over and over. If you haven’t read this duet…..do it now.
Wow! Just wow! I’m an emotional mess right now. This end to the duet will completely and unequivocally imbed itself into your very heart and soul. I couldn’t put this book down! So many events happen in this story that will blow your mind. The story of Aiden and Camila is heart wrenching, beautiful, just unreal. Everyone needs to read this duet! Absolutely phenomenal!
Oh. My. God. This book absolutely gutted me! This made me laugh, smile, cry, and hold my breath. This story is unlike anything I’ve ever read.
Aiden and Camila’s story is one for the books. It really hit me hard.. I don’t want to spoil anything for new readers, but it really tore me apart and put me back together.
I don’t often cry with books, but I caught myself multiple times with foggy vision and a stray tear rolling down my cheek. It really was a soul-consuming read.
No better way to bring a story full circle, Monica brings you to your knees with her amazing words!!
Get the tissues ready.. I loved this book. I connected to the characters right away.. Loved it.
This was an epic conclusion of the Pierce heart duet.. not only we get to see more on Bailey and Dr. Pierce their constant pull and electrifying chemistry but we also get to suffer and feel their pain.
It was a roller coaster of emotions with so many twists and turns but also tender moments that make this story more deep and meaningful..
I really love the Bailey and Aide characters.. Bailey was a true heroine always strong, and sensible trying to fight for Jackson, Journey and Jagger happiness and future.. I laugh so much with Journey she was adorable all the Time especially when she was dancing lol love her.
In Choosing you we get to see a more troubled Aiden, fighting his demons and past. Trying to finally be more emotionally able for his kids.
The chemistry between Bailey and Aiden was very hot and intense no matter how much Aiden tried to act like nothing was affecting him.. we could feel their connection at all times.
Great story and characters!!
Looking forward for Harley and Jackson story
I love this book, I loved the “it was meant to be” aspect of this book. I loved Camila’s relationship with Aiden’s children. I loved their pull towards each other and I loved the ending.
