Blog Tour & Review: Torn by Cynthia Eden



Publication Date: May 31st 2016 by Avon

About the book:
In New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden’s latest novel featuring the Last Option Search Team (LOST), one agent’s investigation entices a killer into making her his prey.
PARTNERS . . . FRIENDS . . .
Forensic anthropologist Victoria Palmer has always been better with the dead than the living. Shutting down her emotions, she lets few people in. But then Victoria’s latest investigation takes her and agent Wade Monroe to Savannah, Georgia. Handsome, dangerous, and more than ready to play dirty on any case, Wade weakens Victoria’s aloofness with just one glance.
. . . LOVERS
Wade knows their recent cases have pushed Victoria beyond her limits. But her skills are crucial to finding a college student who went missing five years ago. Victoria is able to determine she was murdered, and that the killer is still on the loose.
And when the vicious murderer targets Victoria, Wade must do everything in his power to protect her . . . because he refuses to let a woman he loves be torn from him . . . again.

My Thoughts:
Victoria Palmer, the LOST team’s forensic anthropologist is still on edge after being assaulted and left for dead by the killer they took down in New Orleans (those events took place in book two, Twisted), but there’s more to why Victoria won’t let anyone close.  She has a dark past, everyone knows her father was accused of murdering her mother, but there’s more to that story Victoria doesn’t plan on sharing with anyone even if it does haunt her to this day. 

After almost losing Victoria to a madman, Wade doesn’t want to let her out of his sight, and he’s through staying away.  Being assigned out in the field together on their latest missing person case comes in very handy, but also dangerous because the killer they’re trying to nail down sets his sights on Victoria.  Victoria may feel skittish, but the attraction between them makes it impossible for her to push Wade away. She can’t resist his pull and Wade plans on taking full advantage. No way is his missing his chance with her now or letting anyone hurt her. 

Torn is part of a series, but I don’t think it’s completely necessary to read the prior books to enjoy it. I’ve read all but the first book, Broken, (I’ll be getting to that very soon) in the LOST series and loved every one. Fast-paced, full of danger and intensity! I was scared for these characters a time or two! Cynthia Eden definitely knows how to keep her readers glued to the pages both with the thrill of the mystery, and the passion of this romance!  I love her addictive writing! I can’t wait to get my hands on the next story, Taken, but until then I’ll go back and read Broken.
