I understand how adultery happens. I know, your first thought is “Of course you can — you’re a cheater.” That’s true, but that’s certainly not the whole story. That’s always what a cheater says, right? Once again, you are correct. If you’re looking for a typical romance, then run — run far. After ten years of marriage I realized my husband barely touched me anymore. There was the … obligational monthly sex, but even that was starting to fizzle. I was twenty-nine and he was thirty-two. We should’ve been doing it like bunnies, night and day, or at least a couple times a week, to be more realistic. But that hadn’t happened in years.
It didn’t hit me until I’d been gone a couple of weeks. Then when I got home we both fell asleep that night, me snuggled up against his back like we always slept. But that’s all we did. We just … slept.
No big deal you say?
Wrong. It was a very big deal.
It was the night I realized we had a real problem.
I have a choice to make, but I’m so torn. Do I stay where I’m at or do I go with Kaden, with the man who’s showing me I still have a lot to live for …

Torn will leave you speechless and needing more! As the first book in Melody Anne’s new series, this book introduces a world of endless emotions, and characters you’ll be dying to know more about!
Torn is an amazing book. Melody Anne does it again. If you’re a fan of this author than you know what I’m talking about. I’ve read just about everything she has written. If you haven’t read this yet, than you must. Now to wait for book 2.
An amazing start to a new series! could not put down!
This book was amazing, pulling at every emotion you could possibly feel!
High school sweethearts, Miranda & Mason set out in love to conquer the world, but with most marriages, there are bumps, some big some small, each one chipping a little at the foundation of their relationship. Can they survive? I won’t give anything away, this book is best experienced as you read it! Kudos to Melody for writing this, I could not put this book down once I started it! I’m patiently (sort of) waiting for book 2 in this series! 5 stars for this one, grab it when it comes out!
Torn by Melody Anne is book One in the Torn series. This is the story of Miranda, Mason and Kaden.
Mason and Miranda were high school sweethearts that married quickly and have been together for years now. Mason and Miranda had their young love and friendship thinking it would never dull…but in the current day it has. Then Kaden walks into her world and she starts to feel desire again. Kaden of course is attracted to Miranda…and it burns hot.
This book deals more with Miranda story and the next one should deal more with Mason and the outcome of Miranda’s new feelings.
Can’t wait to read the next installment in their story.
Loved this book! I’ve been a big fan of hers and just like the other books by Melody Anne i couldn’t put it down. Started and finished in one night ! Can’t wait for the next book.
They say there is a side to every story. Even when there are more than two. What is right? What is wrong? Torn by Melody Anne is the first book in the Torn series and tells the story of Miranda and the men in her life. It is a love triangle and one that will leave you reeling and second guessing everything.
We are introduced to Miranda, Mason and Kaden. We see this story through Miranda’s eyes and is told in the past and present. The author did a great job depicting how a couple can descend to this point and what happens when temptation may stray you a different way. It was an emotional journey to the very end.
While reding Torn, I was so torn. It depicts a woman struggling between a man she loved and their history. But also, their descent. We see what Miranda may be losing and the man willing to show her all she has to offer and be given. My heart shattered and soared. I cannot wait for the next book!

Happy reading!
“But I’ll tell you the true story. I’ll show you how far a person can fall. But within the fall, what we may figure out is that only then can we soar. I was ready to fly. I just had to let go of my guilt in order to do that.”
Now, this quote sounds pretty awful once you’ve read the blurb for this story. And if y’all know me, you know I HATE a cheater, but lately I’ve been hit with some really great stories that explore the grey area most people are afraid to talk about in such a situation. Does this mean I’m going to be any more forgiving if someone cheats on me? Absolutely not. Does this mean I’m not a fan of stories featuring a cheater? Also, no. But I am now intrigued about the story and the feelings involved in making a decision this huge.
When this story began, I was immersed in the relationship between Miranda and her husband, Mason. I felt like I was in the relationship with them: I felt the disappointment, the hurt, the confusion, and even the guilt. It was a relationship I’m not sure I would have survived in. What hurt me the most was seeing how these two went from blissfully happy to simply existing. How does that happen? Where does the relationship just break down and allow those in it to lose sight of what they mean to each other? “Forever isn’t long enough when it’s right. And at that moment, it was exactly right. It felt as if it could never change. I’m utterly heartbroken when I realize it does change — that love doesn’t always last forever.
When things began to dissolve more, it was Miranda’s mind that intrigued me. Since I could only see her husband through her eyes, his actions may be a bit skewed, but it seems that something is going on with him. Is it an affair? I have no idea. But he is definitely focused outside of his marriage. Once Miranda allows herself to let go of her reservations and begins to look away from her husband, it begins a whole new batch of emotions within her. This was where I really began to wonder what would happen between all of them and what had led them to where they were.
“Neither of us were evil people. We were human. We were complicated. We made mistakes. Did that mean either of us should have been damned? No. What did it mean, then? That, I honestly didn’t know then, and I still don’t know now.”
I’m dying waiting on Tattered. This story isn’t your typical romance, but it’s intriguing and I want to find out what brought everyone to the point they make decisions that can affect their whole world.
WOW!! I am not even sure where to start with this review! I truly loved everything about this story and I can’t wait for the next book. This is such a raw and beautiful story. I cried a lot – a lot, but it was totally worth it. The characters are so real and so broken. This is a do not miss for sure!!
It was about 8:18 when I got on the train this morning and decided to start reading a book. I had the chance to read Torn by Melody Anne, and, well, I am speechless.
At 10:00, I finished it. I couldn’t stop reading at all. It felt like I was being pulled to witness their struggles and though I hurt, I couldn’t do anything but watch how they reacted to the events that are happening in the story.
Torn is Miranda, Kaden, and Mason’s story, their beginnings as well as their current situations. It is a heartbreakingly beautiful and realistic story about the struggles in marriages and how one woman deals with it. It reveals the ugly truths we don’t want to accept or even acknowledge about life, changes, growth and how these affect marriages.
I loved Miranda’ character. She is noticeably human and this is definitely shown throughout the story. I love the way we get to see her grow and develop as well as witness the struggles she has internally.
Most of all, I love the support system she has in her father and in Audrey. They are exactly the people she needs.
Mason’ character isn’t delved into too much in this book, nor is Kaden’s but they both have a major effect on what Miranda goes through.
They say there are more than one side to every story.
Well, this is Miranda’s side.
It’s her choices, her actions, her feelings, that are described. It contains her memories and her current life and the path she took to get there. The other main characters, though not as elaborate, both offer a glimpse into each of their lives and a way to explain and/or understand why they did the choices they made.
