Putting an end to me.
To you.
To us.
Choosing You
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.

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 book 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!!!!
-Choosing You (5 Stars)
OMG, OMG, It’s here and you will not be disappointed! This is the second and final book in the pierced duet. This begins right where Choosing Us left off. I don’t want to give anything away but all your questions will be answered and everything you want in a romance book is in this amazing journey! I absolutely love these characters and yes we get cameos of our favorite MC boys too! I’m in love with this story!!! Have your tissues ready because Miss M will put you through all the Emotions! Aiden Pierce is Perfection. Be still my heart! Told in dual POV & one of my Top reads of 2019
I loved this duet so much.Aiden he was si amazing i wish I had aiden. I also loved camilla i loved how fiestyness how she didnt take any crap
3.5 stars. Definitely well written and a book I couldn’t put down. But I felt like the entirety of the first book didn’t go anywhere and I didn’t like either of the main characters. This one was just a miss for me, and there wasn’t much I liked.
There is so many different layers to the story that i do recommend telling everyone to leave you the fuck alone so you can concentrate, and make sure that you go in with an open mind. And I say this because you may think you know how this story is going to play out, but you will be sitting back questioning everything you thought. I know that was me for the entire time I was reading. Then when I got to the end I found myself having more questions for myself if what I think is still to come and what really just happened is right, or is Robinson playing evil as shit mind tricks.
I wanted to give a brief rundown of the story, but I couldn’t think of a way to do so without giving anything away. This story is one that a reader needs to experience on their own. I will say that the emotions fly off the pages from the characters, and you can’t help but let this story take hold of your heart and let it squeeze the life out of you. Robinson will have you bleeding out with just the fucking prologue. Yes the Mother Fucking Prologue. And you will be lucky to not shed a few tears while your feeling all the emotions that will cause your heart to race. So just have plenty of tissues ready. You may want to make sure that your away from everyone so your not having to cuss people out for disturbing your reading. I know I cussed a few people out. And one of those people was Robinson herself for putting me thru the hell. And well if you are an ugly crier, sorry but there is no hope for you with this one.
I loved having this story all in one book. I did read these books individually, but it was nice to have them all together. You all know my love for M. Robinson…as well as my love for Aiden. There is a special snippet in this book as well…yep…that’s a teaser!
I will say, for me, I think Aiden may be my all-time favorite hero. This man…I didn’t know I could love a fictional character as much as I love him. This man literally made Bailey’s every dream come true. But now Bailey is gone and life is too hard for Aiden without his Beauty.
Book one broke my heart. It brought me to tears. It made my heart hurt for everyone in this book. I loved falling in love with Aiden and his story. I loved the build-up in this book. I love the anticipation of what’s to come. I loved the angst and the need to know what’s going to happen.
I loved every breathtaking moment of this duet. M’s words alone were able to make me feel things that I haven’t ever felt from a book. I might have ugly cried with this story. Which if you know me, it takes a lot for a story to make me cry. This book ripped my heart to shreds but then Aiden stitched it all back together (See what I did there? If you’ve read this story you understand). This book was heart, it was soul, it was more than I was prepared for. It made me look at love differently while making me think about how love grows stronger every day.
I have to say, I wasn’t expecting this story, this book, this duet to affect me as much as it did. I found myself laughing at things while crying at the same time. I found my love for fictional characters to be beyond anything I could control. I found myself being mad at M while loving her all at the same time. I could not put this story down. I loved Aiden. I loved Cami. Most of all, I loved Bailey. How could you read this amazing book and not love Bailey? While Aiden and Cami will always have my heart, Bailey stole the show for me.
If you take nothing else away from my review, please take this, this story was something that dreams are made of. It’s something that only an amazing writer could put together. I love M. and I love her for writing a story that made me feel so much!
Please read this amazing story. You have been warned…you will fall for Aiden and his story. You will crave more. M. Robinson has this amazing superpower of writing and I’m pretty sure with each book that power grows more and more.
***Choosing Us***
Its been two days since I finished this book and I still can’t figure out where to start with my review besides… WOW. If I had any recommendations it would be to go into this story with a open mind. Because this book was EVERYTHING, and nothing like I expected it to be. It was a shocking, but a welcomed surprise. The Queen of Angst has definitely struck again with Choosing Us. I could not get enough of this book. I seriously devoured every page in one day. It was like once I started I just could not stop. I was consumed with all the emotion that poured from this book. Every turn of the page brought fourth so many new feels. I would like to say I made it out unscathed, but that would be lying. I most definitely fell victim to the dreaded tears. So have your tissues ready, you’ll need them. I love M. choose Aidens story to really pack on the suspense. Every time you thought you had something figured out, she just as quickly snatched the answers away. I ended the book with as many questions as I started it with. But honestly I wouldn’t change a thing. All it did was add to the thrill of wanting MORE! I was NOT ready for the story to end.
*5 STARS*
Is well earned for such a fantastic start to a duet. If this was only the beginning I can NOT wait to see the end. I can already see this duet becoming one of my best reads of 2019. I need MORE!!
***Choosing You***
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!
*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.
WOW!!! 5 Amazing stars! I can’t express how much I adore this duet. M. Robinson takes you on an emotional journey with Dr. Aiden Pierce, who’s somewhat astray and finding his way through life, overcoming past regrets. Camilla Jimenez is hired as a nanny for Dr. Pierces 3 kids, and ends up getting more than she’d bargained for, though she took on the challenge graciously. This duet is gritty angsty goodness you won’t put down. It is heartbreakingly good and deals with loss, devastation, and sorrow. The characters are raw and authentic. They flew off the pages. My heart shattered for them and felt their pain. And the kids, Jackson suffered most in my opinion. Simply breathtaking story and I enjoyed every tear-jerking minute of it. Thanks so much M. Robinson for providing this incredible arc in exchange for an honest review.
This duet is EVERYTHING! It was beautiful, and emotional. It ripped my soul out and then put it back together again! I loved it so much!
Choosing Us
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.
Choosing You
Where do I even start? The Pierced Hearts duet is a must read and one of my favorite reads.
Choosing You picks up where Book 1, Choosing Us, ends. And what an amazing, heartfelt journey it has been. The angst, the love, and laughter will have you hooked right from the start.
Dr. Aiden Pierce has got to be the most romantic hero M. Robinson has written ever! Dr. Aiden Pierce now owns my heart.
And Camila was everything you’d want in a heroine. She’s strong, independent and sassy as all hell.
The secondary characters were also amazing, Dante’ will have you literally laughing out loud.
I love M. Robinson’s ability to make you feel like you’re part of the story, feeling every emotion that each of the characters are feeling.
Loved this duet! And I love M. Robinson and every word she gives to us!
This is definitely one of the best books of the year, it will shatter you then put you back together. Ms Robinson really is the Queen of Angst, I have not read all her books but this is the second duet this year and both of them totally blew me away with their intensity it is impossible to put them down.
This is the story of a man who is totally devastated by the loss of the wife he has loved since he was seven years old. He is left alone with his three children including a baby but he is so heartbroken that he is not able to truly participate in their lives and instead immerses himself in his career. Nanny Camilla is hired to look after the children but it soon becomes more than a job as she tries her best to help them find more security in their lives, while being angry at their father for shirking his responsibilities. Baby Journey is adorable, middle child Jagger keeps to himself but older child Jackson is so hurt by the loss of his parents that he lashes out and is downright mean.
There is so much more to this story as this family struggles to put their lives back together while Camilla is there to support them all the way. Ms Robinson had me in tears many times as I experienced their pain but it was totally impossible to put this book down until the end as there were many questions that I had to find out the answers to.
So brilliantly done all the way through, it should be on everyone’s must read list! The best part is that we got both books together because I don’t think that my heart could have have been able to deal with a cliffhanger!
I adored this duet! it was perfection, I read it in one sitting!
I knew this duet was going to gut me – and I was right. These characters held tight to my heart right from the start. A real plus to the duet is being able to read the first book and follow with the second right away. Aiden is so tortured over the loss of the love of his life and he really doesn’t see a way through the pain. Camilla is a healing light that didn’t give up on him. The coolest part was the twist at the end that I never expected in a million years.
Pierced Hearts Duet is one that takes you on an emotional ride as Aiden takes a journey through life and love. You heart will be torn, it will shatter and at times it will be grasping for answers. As M Robinson weaves her magic words you are taken on some devastating lows and some epic highs. It is not all tears and heartache but believe me tissues are a must for this read. It is a story that will at times make you laugh and also have you guessing. As you ride the wave of emotions from heart wrenching to heartwarming there will be one thing that you will know from the very start and that is Aiden Pierce is a heart stealer. A book that will impact you in a way that you never saw coming. I have been evasive in my review because this is a story that you need to experience for yourself with no hints and no clues.
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.
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.
Choosing Us
I always question my sanity every time I willingly pick up an M. Robinson book, and seriously I can’t, I just can’t with this book.
Every word that she writes pierces (wink, wink) 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.
Choosing You
We are all on a journey called life, and each one of us gets to live that journey only once. But now I can truly say that if you read an M. Robinson book, she will take you on several journeys of a lifetime.
Hands down this is one of the best books I have read of her and that of this year. Choosing You closes the chapter on the path we started walking on with Choosing Us. This is not a love story, but a journey of souls. The story is poignant, real, raw and gripping with overwhelming emotions that will keep you in its clutches till the end (heck, even after it ends).
This story is everything, it is everlasting and a marvellous creation of this author that will both sadden and gladden your heart when you read the conclusion.
Kudos Ms Robinson, I can not express how much this book has touched my heart and soul, and I pray that everyone takes a chance in reading this story and bask in the brilliance that is their everlasting love.
This duet was full of angst, aches, feels and beautiful moments. Aiden and Bailey’s story wasn’t lacking one single emotion and was flawlessly beautiful. M Robinson does it again!!
This duet was amazing! The queen of angst has done it again! The first book absolutely gutted me it ripped my heart out the second book put me back together again this story was told in such a way that only M. Robinson can tell . Definite 5 stars from me and definitely recommend this duet is a must read especially if your a fan of this author and if you haven’t read anything this is a perfect story for you to start just grab those tissues cause your going to need them !
*** I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book ***
Expect the unexpected!
Wow… I just finished reading this book and not sure how to convey what I am feeling. My emotions are all over the place. It was a very unexpected plot, but I loved everything about it. It had me hooked and not wanting to let go! As always, you won’t get any spoilers from me . Aiden’s childhood had my heart breaking. I’m very intrigued with what M has up her sleeve next. I’m loving all the characters and after that muthaeffin cliffy I need to know what happens next!
I was not prepared for this sequel! M. Robinson went for the kill and delivered! I’m not going to spoil the plot- do I ever? Just grab your tissues and prepare for your heart to be ripped out, to cry (or ugly sob in my case), to laugh, to love and swoon so hard over Dr Aiden Pierce. I’m not going to lie – this was a very hard read for me. I had a migraine while reading this and my heart was shattered a few times, but M always mends it. I loved the epilogue so hard! It was everything and in my top favorite duets of 2019!
Choosing Us
This book is emotionally raw from start to finish. My heart was shattered for young Aiden. He was so strong for such a little boy. Meeting Bailey was his saving grace.
Reading about the love that Aiden and Bailey shared is just magical and leaves me still wondering, “Where is Bailey?”.
We meet Camila in this story who is hired to help with Aidens children. Camila is great with children and is going through nursing school. Jackson, the oldest, gives her a run for a money but damn it is hilarious some out of line but I was still laughing. Sweet Journey instantly bonds with Camila. Jagger is the quiet but the things he says will have you thinking.I still don’t know what her roll will be when it comes to Aiden in Choosing You but I can’t wait to find out!
I don’t want to spoil the story so Just READ IT! This book has so much feeling that you won’t be able to put it down. You will find yourself analyzing every detail trying to figure out what’s going on.
Choosing You
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!!!
Choosing Us
In this book we have Camila Jimenez. Camila was hired by Skyler to be Dr. Pierce’s nanny for his 3 kids. Camila raised all of her brothers and sisters. She doesn’t have a degree in education. But, she is going to nursing school.
Dr. Aiden Pierce is never home, always working 12 / 14 hr or more shifts every day. He is never around the kids, just Skyler and Camila. He’s lost. He’s lost touch with his kids. Aiden grew up in the foster care system with Bailey. They were best friends and always together. Aiden and Bailey loved each other and vowed never to part.
Aiden’s kids, Jackson, Jagger, and Journey form a bond with Camila. Even though Camila is only a nanny – as Dr. Pierce would say……they connected, they bonded. Camila and Jackson, the oldest boy, have a hate hate relationship at first. However, Jackson, finally opens his heart, and his head. Not all people are going to leave you, as he truly believes. Sometimes people are put in your path for a reason.
I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.
Choosing You
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.
