Screw the consequences…she belongs to me.Mason:I’m a monster… it’s in my blood.Living with the Carters proved that. Adopted by the perfect family and I’m still an animal. I can’t help it.

And the more I watch that b@stard abuse my adopted sister.
the more my instincts scream, f**k the consequences.
I don’t know how much longer I can hold back…
Nicole:
I craved his attention from the minute Mom brought him home.
He’s my adopted brother; my best friend.
But for me, that was never enough.
I always needed more, much more.

I still want him… only I’m dating another man.

The synopsis sounded brilliant. I followed the link via my Facebook Feeds & the reviews claiming what a fantastic book it was, plus the gorgeous cover. So I thought I’d give it a go. I really really wish I hadn’t bothered, I hate it when a book has a better blurb than the actual contents
The authors writing style was, for me EXTREMELY difficult to get into. Some of sentences not making sense at all, words missing, which I hate, I am not hung up on the grammar as some viewers of books are, because things are spelt differently, especially in America, where they believe everyone elses spelling is wrong. This grammar, how ever was BAD and generally just weird. A few ‘ands’ and ‘he/she’ would have helped the flow of the reading. I DO NOT LIKE IT when I have to resort to skipping pages and only concentrate on the dialogue.
Once again a writer has delivered no character development how do you expect readers to become involved in the book if there is none of this it’s like reading a blank page, I don’t even think that Mason was physically described (height, eyes, hair). If he was then I had obviously skipped it because of the POOR writing.
The story line was all over the place and I didn’t get a feel for Nicole’s parents. I was hoping that we’d learn a bit more about Mason’s past (flashbacks to living at home with his abusive Dad) but just a couple of sentences really. Not enough to sustain this book, if someone is the way they are due to past interactions we need to know this, so we get a better understanding to who he is why he does what he does and ,most of all why he hurts !!
Nicole the female lead was OK but yet again, not much character development.
Overall I sort of like the story but in my honest opinion it could have been better written. There were bonus books with my purchase but to be honest, I won’t be reading them.Because I’ve just deleted it from Kindle which if you knew me is virtually unheard off
I also want to add…that if you are a reviewer and blogger like myself and you were giving this book as an ARC you are doing the author and yourself no favors for the 5 star reviews and glowing reports, if that was the case you got it as an arc then you should be ashamed, because the grammar alone would have failed a 5* rating, how is an author to learn if they get good reviews on a book that didn’t deserve them, I very rarely ARC read, that way I am not obliged to carry favor to any particular author, I have my favorites just like everyone else but it does not mean that they can’t put out a bad book, and if you keep giving glowing recommendations they are operating under false assumptions, and as I have no desire to wreck any one’s self esteem as a member of the PAYING PUBLIC, I do expect a level of pen man ship to match my requirements, just because a reviewer receives the book in an ARC does not guarantee a favorable read, did you feel obliged to do so as the book was so badly written… We all have bad days, I am sure some of the top selling authors out there expect honesty or how do they learn. on that note I will close
On the whole, I wouldn’t read books by this author again. This was my first and last.Torn
I was not impressed with this book. It was way different than other books I have read. To much back and forth threw out the whole book. Almost couldn’t finish it. On top of that there was to many errors threw out the whole thing. You really need to get a new proof reader because the one you have on this book is terrible. Find a new one.
Although very short and grammatically immature, this was a solid story with real reactions and a happy ending.
This is a new author to me and this book is one absorbing read. I will mention that due to the nature of the book, those with triggers to abuse should read this with care. Mason is a man who was adopted into a family with a daughter named Nicole when he was young. Due to his upbringing and dysfunctional family situation, it took him quite some time to acclimate to his new reality. However, he developed a strong need to protect Nicole while trying to hide his true feelings towards her. When Nicole gets involved with her boyfriend, Mason can see that he is not what he appears to be and is not treating Nicole the way he should. When Mason tries to step in, he has to live with the consequences. Will Nicole wake up and leave her boyfriend? Will Mason be able to protect Nicole? Can Mason and Nicole have their happily ever after? This is one well written book filled with drama that has the reader rooting for the main characters to get together to realize that they can have what they both truly want and desire.
I volunteered to read an arc of this book and all opinions are my own.
T.N. King’s book TORN is a very moving, emotional read. This book will make you ride the roles coaster ride from laughing to cussing to crying. Mason and Nicole have so much they have to work through before they can have their HEA! I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. If you read anything this year be sure and read this book!
I received this book through ARC but I’m voluntarily leaving this review. This is one of the best books I’ve read in a while and I read a book a day lol! I absolutely loved this book. Nicole is such a happy character and she brings out the good in Mason. I love how the beater finally gets what he deserves. There are so many things I love about this book is can’t right them all. You’ll just have to read it yourself. Trust me you’ll enjoy it!
