Release Date: October 1, 2013
Synopsis:
Rock star River Wilde brought Dahlia London back from the brink of hopelessness with his unwavering love and devotion. But their entwined history is about to test the strength of that love…

River wants to show Dahlia that life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass—it’s about dancing in the rain! But how many times can one broken heart be mended? Will River and Dahlia be able to face the turmoil together or will they be torn apart?
My Review:
Calling all romance junkies, Torn is for you! This book wraps up the incredibly sexy, complicated and intense story between River, Dahlia and Ben that began in Connected. I could not imagine where these characters’ story would end up after the shocker at the end of Connected, but Ms. Karr has given us an incredibly satisfying conclusion, along with a ton of emotion, sex, angst, betrayal and plot twists!
Dahlia and River’s relationship is threatened by the shocking reappearance of Ben…River is jealous and angry…Dahlia is confused and insecure in her relationship with River…and Ben wants Dahlia back. River and Dahlia have a seemingly loving and beautiful relationship, but will their devotion to each other survive all the obstacles thrown in their path? Although I felt a little sorry for Ben throughout the story, I was thrilled at the conclusion to these characters’ stories, and completely shocked by the very surprising revelations about several main characters near the end of the story.
There is lots of romance and sex in Torn, to balance out all the emotion and drama!
I really love the author’s writing style. Plus I was thrilled to learn that there will be more books in this series about characters from Connected and Torn. I’m definitely looking forward to reading their stories!
