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
With equal parts of love and heartbreak, the conclusion to this duet was everything you wanted and more. These books were not something I expected but ended up being something that I needed. I was suffering from months of struggling to stay invested in the books I was reading. These 2 books I wasn’t planning on reading shattered that funk for me.
I enjoy this author and the way she tells a story. These are the first books from her that I have read, and I can’t wait to check out more.
My Review 5 Choosing You was a short wait but long awaited after the cliff hanger left by chance. If you read Choosing Us you know we were left with Camila being kicked out and Aidan upset at home. A woman’s voice saying “I’m here, Aiden I’m here!” Who was that woman? Was it Camila or Bailey? What happened to Bailey? The chemistry between Dr. Aiden Pierce and the nanny Camila is on fire. Camila helps the family thru their heartbreak, while Aiden learns to live again. Will Camila stay after she finds out the truth about Aidens missing wife? M. Robinson, The Queen of Angst writes wonderfully compelling love stories, while keeping us surprised until the end!
Oh my goodness what an emotional roller coaster this duet was.
I loved how this book started from where we left off from Choosing Us, i so surprised it didn’t go the way i thought this story would. So once we got through the first couple of chapters i was just reading so fast because i needed to know what happened.
I also wanted to know why Aiden and Camila had such a special connection and this got me reading even faster i just really wanted to know how all this tied up and i was not disappointed and was actually surprised on the twists and what happened in the past.
Again i am sorry this is vague but i just hope people go into the his blind and really get all that you can out of this duet.
I loved so hard Camila and Jackson relationship as well, when i was crying they would make me laugh out loud with all there pranks and really gave this book the light that it needed.
I loved all the characters in this book, i loved the story, the writing and the mystery that had me guessing loved loved loved it and i still can’t believe this is my only second book of M Robinson and can’t wait to read more and I’m already super excited for Jackson’s book
Do you have a book that will stick with you forever?
Well this duet is that for me. It had me emotionally drained. My heart just ached for all the characters involved. The words just bled off the pages. And the author had me flipping page after page to see how the story ended. I found myself holding my breath and messaging my book bestie when things got intense. I don’t want to say to much because I don’t want to give anything away.
This is definitely my TOP read of 2019 thus far.
This book was phenomenal. The twists, turns and suspense makes it a book you can’t put down. The characters and how their stories unfolded takes you on an emotional journey. The things that happen with Aiden and Camila towards the end of the book leaves you speechless and feeling sad and happy at the same time. Learning why Bailey left was a shocker. Then the ending just blows you away. I can’t wait to read more. This is a must read book.
Q: “You’re nothing but a sorry excuse of a man who abandoned his kids when they needed him the most!”
M. Robinson’s one of my favorite authors and after leaving me reeling with a searing cliffhanger at the end of Choosing Us, book one of the Pierced Hearts Duet, I couldn’t have gotten the blogger’s copy of Choosing You soon enough. As it is, I had to wait roughly six weeks, and it was true torture! However, now that I had the opportunity to read both books back to back, I can’t tell you how unbelieving wonderful this duet is. Choosing You was A-freaking-Mazing, utterly captivating and unputdownable!!!
Q: My heart strings were pulled like puppet cords, dancing in my body. And he was the puppeteer.
Choosing You is the conclusion to the Pierced Hearts Duet, and it was everything I wanted it to be and more! The storyline picks up immediately where readers were left foundering after Choosing Us. Yet, Choosing You offers more of traditional M. Robinson romance hallmarks. The book is exceptionally sexxxy—like, have your spouses on standby or your batteries charged because a cold shower won’t save you from the heat of this one. And the angst, ohhhh, the unbelievable angst… it’s intense and gut-wrenching. Then, while still told in dual POVs, readers get more from Aiden’s perspective in the present and not just strictly his POV in the past tense. Aiden is sexy as hell and M’s done me proud once again by writing a hero that’s alpha in all the ways I love but a tortured hero who’s utterly irresistible. Choosing You will answer all the questions that readers were left with at the conclusion of Choosing US including all the things that were intentionally left ambiguous for readers during the first book. M’s writing is beautifully vivid and paints itself within the walls of your mind. You will see each scene unfolding and experience each emotion with the characters.
Q: There was no denying the fire that lived inside of her, and now it lived inside of my house as of today. How long until it exploded? Burning us both alive.
M. Robinson is known for writing angsty, gut-wrenching romance with characters who experience the seven layers of hell before they’re able to finally achieve that beautiful HEA at the very end of a book. And don’t get me wrong, The Pierced Hearts duet is still M living up to her notorious ways, yet this duet introduced a side of M’s writing that I haven’t ever experienced before—and I have read every book in her catalog—humor!! The Pierced Heart Books literally had me LOL-ing on the regular. M is definitely one of my absolute favorite authors for truly angsty reads because I am usually almost sick how much my stomach turns reading her words and she truly is the Queen much like her tagline states. And the Pierced Hearts books were angsty in a very realistic way, yet although upon further reflection after reading the conclusion to the duet, I don’t feel these books were quite as angsty as the vast majority of her other works. Be prepared for a vast array of emotions while reading this story. I laughed uncontrollably, but I also cried for a good chunk of the story—and for the record, I don’t cry easy! I couldn’t give this book enough stars… it truly deserves more than 5 stars! Pick up the Pierce Heart Books and start reading now! You’ll be binge reading everything in M. Robinson’s catalog in short order because her words are incredibly addictive. When I discover her, She had a mere 6 books in her backstock, and I read them back to back and I have yet to meet anyone who has been able to say she was one and done with this author!
Quotes:
The emotions she stirred within me were crippling in ways I hadn’t expected.
For the first time in a long time, things felt right. She felt right. Being here… For Journey. My kids. For me, too?
We locked eyes, and for a split second, I saw something familiar in his bright blue stare. A raw, agonizing burn. A pain.
Camila was bringing me back to life. And I’d be fucking lying if I said I didn’t want her to.
I’d always been a man of few words. To me, actions always spoke much louder and clearer than any sentence could provide. Yet there I was, laying it all out for her. Word by word, sentence by sentence, making my thoughts and emotions known. Why? Because for the first time in my life, I saw a future with a woman who wasn’t my wife. Hurting and healing me all at once.
WOW! What a beautiful heart wrenching story that will stay with me for the long time Choosing You is the second book in the Pierced Hearts duet by M. Robinson and is by far her best yet because she has managed to tap into what makes us readers lovers of the romance genre. Let me start off by saying that this story is not all hearts and flowers , there are parts that made me teary eyed and full out cry but that is the beauty of Monica’s writing she makes it worth it in the end.
Choosing You tells the story of Aiden Pierce, who is at a crossroads as his past and his future collide as he tries and find happiness while trying to let go of the wife that has left him. Aiden has been going through the motions ever since his wife left him so when the new nanny Camila comes into the picture there is an undeniable connection between the two.
“You have me questioning everything I believe in, and it hurts me as much as it heals me”.
” You’ve shown me that I can love more than one person in my lifetime. You brought me out of the darkness and made me want to live in the light”
Do yourselves a favor and take a chance on this book you will not be disappointed! M. Robinson is known for her angst filled novels which are full of raw emotions. She will put your heart through the ringer but I promise once you meet these characters they will own a piece of your heart! LOVE this book!!
This book gave me THE CHILLS. What an unexpected, emotionally charged, and gorgeous ending to an amazing duet! I haven’t read anything by M. Robinson prior to this duet but that will be changing immediately! I want to get to know the secondary characters who have their own stories from previous series and I also want Jackson and Harley’s story which is set to release this year! Gosh, I adored how this ended. I laughed, squealed, and threw my hands in the air because of the excitement is brought me! My only issue is that I am sad Cami and Aiden’s story is finished. I fell hard for these two and I am definitely going to miss them. Hopefully they will make some appearances in the next one…
With that being said, this is a wonderful duet! It has all the feels. It sent chills down my spine when I finally got to the point where Aiden shared what happened to Bailey. Everything made so much sense after that and I applaud the author for the unique spin she put on the book. This is a damn good duet and now that it is complete I highly recommend readers get them both. This is one of those duets you don’t want to miss! It’s outstanding!
ALL THE STARS
There really are no words to express the emotions I’m feeling after finishing this book. Choosing You is hands down one of the best books I’ve ever read.
It has taken me DAYS to be able to sit down and gather my thoughts on this book. Before I get into my review, if you haven’t read Choosing Us yet, STOP and go read it. Choosing You is the second book in the Pierced Hearts Duet and cannot be read as a stand-alone.
Usually when people say a book has all the feels, I know it’s most likely going to put my feelings through the wringer. But man, I was not expecting the amount of tears I cried while reading Choosing You. This story touched my heart in so many ways. It was so raw and honestly so beautiful. It wasn’t what I was expecting whatsoever.
I was fully connected to the characters. I was rooting for them and praying they would get their happy ever after. The scenes flowed and it felt like I was watching a movie in my head. I never thought Ms. Robinson would be able to top my Good Ol’ Boys but she did. I highly recommend reading this book!
Interesting twist on same old story about a single father and a nanny who is young and beautiful. MRobinson has a unique way of developing her characters. Doctors with tattoos. She’s a good fun read.
Really 5 stars……nope, not even close to 5 stars….. this book deserves ALL THE STARS!!! This story was heart-wrenching to the point of tears, all-consuming because there was no way in hell I was putting this book down and heartbreaking because this story shredded my heart with each word, paragraph or chapter that described this beautiful once-in-a-lifetime-love that was destroyed in such a devistating way. If you thought you knew how this story would play out, what would happen next, how it would end…..you have no idea the twists and turns that had me gasping, shocked, speechles with the unraveling of this story. Nothing compares to the breathtakingly beautiful love story that truly unfolds between the pages of this unequivocally EPIC duet that has earned a spot in my TOP READS OF 2019!
This book was just the icing on the cake! I had so many mixed emotions at the end of Choosing of Us. I didn’t know where Ms. Robinson was going with this story but I had a theory and I am so happy I was right! The anxiety I had waiting to see what was really going to happen drove me nuts!
Choosing You will have you drawn in from start to finish. Aiden Pierce is just perfection! His character will have you SWOONING and leaving you with the biggest book hangover. I don’t want to say anything about Bailey or Camilla because it will totally give away what happens. Just trust me and READ it!! You will not regret it at all.
Oh and Monica that last page has me like! I CAN NOT WAIT FOR JACKSON AND HARLEYS STORY!!!
This story picks up where the first book ends and it took me for a ride with so many emotions. I enjoyed reading this and love how it ends. I recommend this book!!!!
Holy mother of god…this book ended much better than I expected it to. I was so torn after reading the first book and wasn’t quite sure what to expect but this exceeded all my expectations.
In the first book we got to see Camila cementing her place in the Pierce home, with everyone except Aiden, then we saw the fallout of him coming home early. This book gives us everything after that fallout.
Emotions were running rampant, guilt, loyalty and responsibilities were tested and I literally rushed through to find out how it would end.
I refuse to give anything away and I don’t even want to hunt because I honestly think this book needs to be read without an preconceived opinions. It will make the emotional roller coaster that much stronger. If you read Choosing Us, then dive right in to this book. If not get started now so that you can jump into this book next!
You know when you pick up a book by M. Robinson you are in for one emotional and angst-filled journey and she never disappoints. We were left shocked at the end of the first book, Choosing Us, that must be read prior to this one, Choosing You, and I could not wait to get my hands on it. I want to share so much, but this really is a story that must be experienced.
My heart broke so much. This book is very emotional and full of surprises. I was consumed by this story. All I can say is when you read this duet as a whole, go in with an open mind and heart. One’s journey is not always a simple one. Choosing You by M. Robinson was a heartbreaking story of love, second chances and hope.
Read and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog.
Happy reading.
I’m probably in the minority here but this is the story I desperately wanted. After the questions and many, many theories I was left with after reading Choosing Us, I got the closure I needed from this book.
Dr Aiden Pierce redeemed himself in this book. After the previous book I was on the fence about my feelings towards him. This book shows a different side to Aiden and I really enjoyed getting to know him better. However it was the female lead that was and always will be the star of this duet for me. There’s nothing that I didn’t love about her. From her caring nature to her take no crap attitude, she’s the perfect woman.
This was exactly what I’ve come to expect from M Robinson. Both books in this duet are really addictive, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, the characters will win you over in no time and you’ll get the answers to what I’m sure is a lot of questions. There’s the angst we’ve all come to expect, and that most of us secretly love, from M Robinson, and plenty of funny moments to balance out the emotional rollercoaster. This is another fantastic book from this author that I definitely recommend.
While I have love all of M. Robinson’s books…Choosing You is what makes M. Robinson stand out. Choosing You the one book you will be talking about for months to come. M crushed it with this conclusion to Aiden and Camila story.
Choosing You that leaves readers speechless.. She has dug down deep, crushing you one second, RIP to your sole only to put it back together. The emotions felt through the book has you coming back for more whether you are grabbing tissues, swooning in their connection or praying that stubbornness will soon lose out. Choosing You is a beautifully written story to give all the hope that readers look for in a book to stand the test of time.
I am so in love with this series !!! In true Monica style she has taken us on a rollercoaster ride of every emotion that you have with in you !!!! You will be hit with heartbreak, young love, struggle, challenges, anger, and amazing chemistry with the characters . The overwhelming attachment that I felt for these characters engulfed me. You will be pulled into this world and enthralled with these amazing well written characters. The angst is at an all time high on this journey and you will have your heart broken to pieces and then put back together but in an entirely different way! . The twist and turns will leave you with whiplash and rereading to make sure you are truly in tune with this story . I have never read a tale such as the one that Monica has given us !!! I loved it !!!!

4.5 Stars!!!
Choosing You is the perfect ending for this duet series! The Pierce’s story gives you all the feels. It’s heart-breaking, sexy, angsty, and swoon-worthy. There were lots of tears, a few of laughs, and lots of
fanning myself for all the hotness and chemistry happening between the characters. I love it!!
Dr. Aiden Pierce is in a dark place and broken when he meets the nanny for his kids named Camilla. Get ready for all the feels with this beautiful conclusion to the duet. M will break your heart and then put it back together again.
