I'm a little disappointed. It started spectacular and then the quality went down a lot. Too many police issues and I came here for the drama, besides the fact he would accept being cheated like that was solved too quickly. Seemed pretty unreal to me even if he was a big softie on the inside.
Meh.

I'm not in the mood to explain what happens in this book, besides I think it's better if you g2 Stars. * SPOILERS *
Torn takes place where Taken ended.
I'm not in the mood to explain what happens in this book, besides I think it's better if you go with your eyes closed with this one. It was good. Really it was more interesing than the first part, with all the mistery about the Scafoni's sons and the Willow daughters loving and hating each other. The story of Aunt Helena was damn good too. But it all went to hell for me because of one litte thing.
The way Helena and Sebastian played with Gregory.
It was just plain cruel of them to play with him like that. Sebastian was the one who loved to talk about how dangerous Gregory was, how umpredictable he was behind his quiet image but at the end of the day, there was no bigger monster in this book than Sebastian himself. No matter how he wanted to redeem himself (I didn't see any of that, to be honest) it was always about him wanting Helena, and he got her but he destroyed his blood brother in the process. Makes me a little sick. Helena wasn't so much at fault. I truly believe she cared about Gregory (honest to God I was confused about her feelings for a little bit, I thought she loved him too) and she didn't want to hurt him, but she being a Willow girl didn't left her much of a choice. If Sebastian told her to get naked and fuck Gregory then that's what she did.
I want... No, I need a book about Gregory. I want him to get a happy ending, too. To have a better life, to not be lonely ever again, I want him to find true love in a girl who apreciates his worth. That girl can be Amy, maybe. I don't care. I want to get to read more about him.
Maybe then I'll give Sebastian another chance.
(Btw, this 'love-triangle' gave me serious the vampire diaries vibes).

Pero después hubo demasiado drama inneceEl primer 40% de la historia me tuvo pegada al celular como mensa, impaciente por ver a donde iban las cosas. Pero después hubo demasiado drama innecesario. Y se supone que esta era una historia de bullying, pero el bullying de Roan a Hollis solo pasó durante el primer 20% o 25%.
This dude was so obsessed with his dead wife that he hurt the heroine (Chris) sooo many times it was awful. Mmm.
Well fuck me, Nick. You ARE a dick. :)
This dude was so obsessed with his dead wife that he hurt the heroine (Chris) sooo many times it was awful. Don't get me wrong I love this type of stories where the H is a complete asshole to her, but Nick was something else. Something else enterily. But I knew that before starting this book.
The thing that truly upset me was that Chris just took his shit like she was grateful for the fertilizer. I can't even begin to understand how deeply unlovable she must feel to let another person treat her like that. It's so damn sad I want to kill her myself to stop her suffering. :)
I admit I cried a time or two reading this book and that's the only reason why I'm giving this a two star rating. It could have been a three stars, but I got tired of all the incessant description of events that happened in previous books, too....more
Las razones por las que estoy dándole dos estrellas a esto son las siguientes:
1) Demasiados recuentos del primer libro que, honestamente, no me interLas razones por las que estoy dándole dos estrellas a esto son las siguientes:
1) Demasiados recuentos del primer libro que, honestamente, no me interesaba saber. Ni siquiera si eran desde el punto de vista de Grayson y Olivia. Principalmente los de Olivia.
2) Olivia de por sí se me hizo un personaje egoísta y vacío, ella no hacía nada más salvo quejarse del daño que los demás le hacían de una forma u otra pero era la última en reconocer sus propios errores y fallas como ser humano. Grayson metió la pata fundamentalmente, hasta lo profundo (es innegable) pero ella no se sentó un solo momento a considerar el por qué su esposo hizo las cosas que hizo. Incluso después de que Harrison trató de hacerla ponerse en los zapatos de Greyson (siendo Harrison uno de los perjudicados por las acciones de Grayson, también) ella estaba subida en su nube de santidad porque, aparentemente, ella es perfecta.
3) Grayson suplicó muchísimo por el perdón de Olivia, por las cosas horribles que dijo e hizo (o, mejor dicho, no hizo). Pero en ningún momento Olivia tuvo que reciprocar por los errores que ella cometió(view spoiler)[debió disculparse hasta la madre por hacer sentir a su esposo una tercera rueda en la relación que ella y Harrison tenían, incluso si eran sólo amigos. NO PASAS ESA CANTIDAD DE TIEMPO A SOLAS CON EL HERMANO DE TU MARIDO, simplemente no. Cualquiera con cuatro dedos de frente sabe que da paso a malinterpretaciones. Y simplemente, no se hace. Punto. (hide spoiler)]
4) Grayson se arrastró demasiado. Sufrí en su nombre, me hizo sentir infeliz. Porque ella estaba solo usándolo, si lo que quería era hacerlo sentir mal pues lo logró. Creo que ella lo trató peor que él a ella en el principio.
Siento que Natasha Anders quizo hacer algo parecido a The Unwanted Wife pero en mi opinión, fracasó rotundamente. Olivia es una perra y Grayson, aunque muy dulce, demasiado sumiso como héroe. Un Beta en vez de Alfa....more

So this book was basically Tessa fucking up her relationship with Hardin. At least I think so. She was so full of doubt in this second part of 2 stars
So this book was basically Tessa fucking up her relationship with Hardin. At least I think so. She was so full of doubt in this second part of their story... and it's totally fine because he messed up so, so bad in After, but dude, it came the point where she was sabotaging everything between them, almost as bad as Hardin did.
I hated her a little bit much in this book, tbh. And I got so tired of the back and forth! All they did was fight and make out. Fight and make out.
I'll read the rest of the series just because I want to know how things will end for both of them.
ps- I'm waiting for someone to take seriously Hardin's drinking problem. I'm just sitting right here waiting for Tessa to send him to rehab or something....more

"No. I just find it funny that you call your whores guests. And as if I'm going to wear one of their bikinis." My face twist with disgust. "Women aren't whores just because they like to fuck. I wish you'd get that out of that gorgeous head of yours."
This h believes that she's not a whore just because she has to have sex with H to 'protect' her father. Well let me tell you something, my dear, you're fucking him because you're paying him a favor, so that makes you a whore. Oops....more
This one had so much potential that is ridiculous I didn't like it. Really. So this guy bought her virginity just to atone for past sins... he2 stars.
This one had so much potential that is ridiculous I didn't like it. Really. So this guy bought her virginity just to atone for past sins... he didn't fuck her, instead he gave her food, a place to sleep, money and oportunities. Great. He was an asshole. Great, too. The higher they are the harder they fall.
But why, WHY did he have sex with all those other women? and why did she have to know it? even worst— she saw him. UHG.
I can stand manwhores. Truly I can. But Erik was just too much. He wanted to hurt her, wanted her to listen to him have sex with all those chicks to make his point across: he didn't want her like that.
And Alexandra just keep asking for it. For the suffering and the humilliation. Girl I have news for you: you're poor and you have no self-steem, whatsoever.

ps- and to make matters worse, Ian's romance isn't with Hannah just like I hoped so but with Carina. I don't like Carina. Which means I won't read her book. SHAME....more
I started this book knowing that it had bad reviews because, apparently, the hero is a real piece of cake.
Well it's true. The hero is a douchebag. He'I started this book knowing that it had bad reviews because, apparently, the hero is a real piece of cake.
Well it's true. The hero is a douchebag. He's bitter and angry with life because of a lot of things. That's not what made me give this story a two-star rating. It was the action... God, how I hate action packed books like this, I'm sorry. I'm here for the romance and the drama and the angst, I don't care about the drugs or the gangs simply because the hero isn't running them, nor is he a criminal, so... I. don't. care. ...more
Because the end was too rushed. It killed all the angst and I hated it. HATED it. This could have been so much more. It had so much potencial,2 stars
Because the end was too rushed. It killed all the angst and I hated it. HATED it. This could have been so much more. It had so much potencial, the plot was good at the beginning and then it all went to hell. (view spoiler)[She had a right to get even more angry and stay like that a couple days, at least. Not just with him but with everyone. They all lied to her by omission, she had a dead baby she didn't remember and no one said anything, I would be crushed. And I don't even like babies.
