When Sky’s parents moved from San Francisco to Boulder City in Nevada, she thought her life was over, until she met the Hudson boys. Two years older than her, tattooed bad boy Nate was confident, cocky, good looking, and a straight talker. He was the unattainable guy that all the girls wanted, but the one their fathers warned them to steer clear of. Josh had all of his brother’s looks, but he was the sweet charmer your mother would beg you to marry. Their cousin Billy lacked the brothers’ good looks, so relied on his quick wit to attract the girls.

When all three of them set their sights on Sky, they became competitive, and cracks in their close bond began to form.

Torn between her loyalty to all three, and feelings for one, Sky was faced with a dilemma.

When she made her decision, she had no idea that her choice would set them all on a path that would tear the group apart.

Torn is a standalone new adult erotic romance novel, which is heavy on the angst. A box of tissues is likely to be required. Out on 31st August 2016.

 

REVIEW

After moving again and feeling like an outsider in a new place Sky isn’t feeling at home or like she has many people she knows…that is until she meets the Hudson boys: two brother and 1 cousin, all with different personalities but all wanting the new girl in town- but only one will win her heart so let the battle of the heart commence where only one victor will win Sky’s heart!

“She was my beacon in the darkness, a light that guided me to the only safe and calming place I’d known in years.”

Wow!! That was one hell of a read!! I loved that this was no ordinary romance, it wasn’t even an ordinary love triangle as we had 3 men, fighting for one girls heart! The different points of view really helped make this book unique and the different personalities of the Hudson boys meant I fell in love with a part of them all as each man spoke to a different part of me! I could totally understand Sky’s heart breaking decision to try and decide who she loves the most but not wanting to hurt any of them.

“I’d seen other girls give away their affections so easily, like the very act of choosing to share your emotions and your heart with someone was worthless. It wasn’t to me. It was everything.”

We have Nate- the bad boy, who gives a dangerous vibe off about him and whose cocky and sexy persona captures Sky’s attention. Then there’s Josh- the sweeter, cuter brother, who reminds me of a hot, nerdy professor- and Sky can’t resist the softer and gentle side of Josh. Then we have Billy, the funny one, who makes the ladies laugh, Sky especially and the laughter as well as his secretive side, means Sky can’t stop wanting to get to know him more!

“Goodbye is like never going to see you later. It sounds like it’s permanent.” “I’d better hope you never say goodbye to me then.” “Or you me.” “Never,” he responded immediately,”

This was such a heart breaking, breathtaking and beautiful love story with so many secrets and tense moments. I really adored Sky as well, and although you may go in thinking, “why is she moaning when she has three guys after her?” But straight away Sky becomes like a close friend and you feel her pain at liking them all but not wanting to hurt any them. It truly is a heart breaking decision and especially with the boys all being family.

“Another year had passed. Another year when I’d heard nothing. Another year of writing letters that contained tiny pieces of my heart. He was destroying it. Bit by bit, he was accepting it and giving me nothing in return.”

It’s not just the love between these 4, but it’s the love between family and friendship we read about as well that makes this book so special. And the secrets and drama between the characters keeps you hooked alongside the romance side of the story- all the boys go through dark times and all have weights on their shoulders or secretes being kept hidden. Honestly, pick this book up and read it- You will not regret it!
