My Thoughts:
I’m a big fan of Monica Murphy’s Drew+Fable series so I was really
excited to pick up Torn.
Marina Knight is the daughter to two of the wealthiest
families in Napa Valley. Unfortunately
the market downturn hit her family hard and the temptation to sell off long
held property is high. Part of the most
coveted property is in downtown St. Helena where she runs Autumn Harvest, a boutique
bakery. The bakery is Marina’s life and
focus, and she pours her heart and soul into it.
Gage Emerson is a very
wealthy bachelor on a streak of making highly profitable real estate
deals. He’s got his eye on some
properties in Napa, long held by the Molina family who is property rich but
cash poor at the moment. Gage threatens
to take Marina’s life and livelihood away by scooping up the family’s bakery
and selling it off. This makes him enemy
number one in her mind. Too bad their
bodies didn’t get the memo.
“Don’t you feel it,
Marina? Feel the chemistry between us, brewing and popping? Don’t you want to
do something about it?”
Oh, how I love a good old antagonistic romance! Gage and Marina push each other’s buttons and
tick each other off, so the sparks fly! And soon, so does their clothes. This one was lots of fun with white hot scenes
sure to make you squirm and fidget. I swear, these two couldn’t keep their
hands off of each other! I did really
enjoy the passion between Marina and Gage but I did feel this relationship lacked
development that would’ve given me a deeper connection to their romance. Still,
it was a fast and thrilling read.
Monica Murphy has a talent of writing a romance that warms
your heart on one page and incinerates you panties on the next. I’m going back to read the first installment
in this series, Crave, next.

More often I feel torn about my job than my love life!!
ReplyDeleteI am such a fan of Monica's too! I adored Crave so much, and was looking forward to this one a lot. I did enjoy it, but also felt there could have been a little more relationship development too.
ReplyDeleteGreat review, Rachel!
Thanks, Andrea. I started Crave and I'm already liking it better. :)
DeleteI have had feeling of being torn in love before. My heart said I should move in with a very loved boyfriend once as he really wanted me too. I was about to say "yes" even though my instincts told me there was something wrong with the picture, when I found him cheating. That ended the torn part. These books both sound very good and I well look forward in reading them in the, I hope, near future.
ReplyDeleteOh, no! I'm sorry you had to endure that! :( Sounds like that boyfriend needs a smack upside the head! Maybe with a frying pan!
DeleteOf course... not in love but sometimes about what the right thing to do is.
ReplyDeleteTHanks for the giveaway!
I was probably torn when I met my husband whether to pursue a long distance relationship or not. This looks great! Thanks for the chance to win!
