Torrid Affair is my first book from Callie Anderson…. and she has ripped me apart. Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read
She loves two men and she cannot stay away form either of them.. This book has a lot of chemistry and fire.
Warning.. This book does have cheating, so if you are not a fan then you may not want to read this book.
Oh my god, this book was everything I was expecting it to be and more!
I absolutely LOVED, loved this book and even though there is cheating involved, you have to read it in order to understand why.
I’m not kidding, I thought my heart was going to shatter as I read this beautiful book. I have nothing but praise for it.
I have started falling in love with this author’s writing, her books turn me into an emotional mess and now I am hooked and addicted to her beautiful stories.
It was earth shattering to have to read this book because when two people fall in love and can’t be together because of certain circumstances and the heartbreak and suffering they go through just to sacrifice their love to make others happy, made me completely and utterly sad.
It took a lot of will power for these two beautiful souls to stay away from each other but it was so devastatingly hard when all they could think about was being together, they were so consumed in each other and didn’t want to hurt the people they loved.
But life isn’t always fair and hearts get broken and there is deceit and lies involved in this story that really made me want to scream at the top of my lungs and wish these two people could find a way to be together without having to hurt anyone in the process.
Although they do end up sleeping together, while cheating on theirs spouses but the love they shared was just beautiful and they deserved to be together. The highs and low’s they went through, just to get to where they wanted to be was tough. And of course, there are always villains and the villains in this book got what they deserved in the end!
We do get a total HEA in this magnificent book 🙂
Her books are definitely on top of my best reads for sure!!
I can’t believe I almost missed out on reading this book! What was I thinking?! I am usually not into cheating stories but damn! this was like one of the best books I’ve read this year. The writing was excellent and the story compelling! I didn’t even feel like there was cheating involved because for me there only existed Brie and Nate and they belonged together. To hell with the other characters.
The story that’s told from Brie’s and Nate’s POV started in the present but jumped back over ten years prior when everything began to fall apart. I loved that the time didn’t jump back and forth all the time but that the past was told all at once. It may seem a bit long for some but it was really necessary to fully understand the deep love and heartbreak that’s going on as well as the relationship between all four of the characters and why they made certain decisions that lead to the current circumstances.
The Story:
Brielle can’t believe she is really about to get help for her husband Julian from his brother Nate, the man she fell in love with almost eleven years ago. When Brie sees Nate again after all those years, the flame of love that has never fully extinct starts to burn brighter again. Was it a mistake to come here? But she didn’t come for Nate’s love, she came asking for help to save her marriage with his brother.
Thoughts:
This was insane! It was soooo amazing! The writing was perfect and the characters felt so real. The sexual tension was almost palpable throughout the whole book! There’s just nothing to criticize; this story was so perfectly created.
I fell in love with the characters though I got not only frustrated but really sick to the stomach with anger a few times and I wanted to smack them upside the head for their stupidity and at how hard they’ve made their lives for themselves.
They were so considerate of other people’s feelings that they diminished their own feelings, put an end to their love and in return got deceived by those they actually wanted to spare the pain. This was such a selfless act to put all the pain on you instead of hurting others. I couldn’t believe how self-sacrificing they’ve been.
I got so frustrated at times because I desperately wanted Brie and Nate to be together without a care in the world of other people’s feelings. They just belonged together. Stupid people!
This was in no way an easy book. I got frustrated, I got sick to the stomach with anger and I needed something strong – preferably liquor – to go with it. My emotions were boiling over and my heart ached until the end. This story really turned me upside down and I can’t get rid of the book hangover this has caused me.
The idea of this book is what caught my attention. It was unique and kept me on the edge of my seat winding what was going to happen with Nate and Brielle. I liked both of their personalities because they just got together. Even with all the misunderstandings, the fighting, etc. I’m glad by the end they got the HEA that they deserved. When the book starts it’s the present but we also get to see the past and it helped me truly understand how they ended up married to other people and gave a bit of suspense trying to figure it all out.
Even with me liking the plot and characters I still struggled with the story. My main reasoning was the fact that so much was glossed over and never really given answers or full clause on things. It got to be really annoying to me. I mean, I can see why it was glossed over (because it would have made it into a longer book) but I think that with all the things added, maybe it would have been better to be longer or split up to that I get the answers that I needed. So while I enjoyed the book, I wasn’t really satisfied. I would be willing to try another book by this author in the future. 2.5/3 stars #2OCCJD
