TORN (Billionaire Bachelors Club, #2) by Monica Murphy

Torn by Monica Murphy
My rating: 2 of 5 stars



ARC provided by publisher through Edelweiss for and honest review.

Unfortunately, I didn't really like this one. It followed a very similar formula as the first book in the series, Crave , which I liked. But this one felt rushed and I didn't feel like the there was as much care taken with the relationship between Gage and Marina. The story jumped ahead by weeks and months, seemingly to try to move forward in time to make the relationship progress more realistically for people to fall in love, but it lost momentum with me doing that.

Also, there were a couple of conflicting story points in the book. (view spoiler)[ First Marina explains that she is one of two children to her family, but her brother had moved away after marrying his college sweetheart and now has two children to his mothers delight. Later in the book, the story states that Marina is the only child to her parents.

The book also states that if her mother met Gage, she would immediately be planning for a wedding, picking out china patterns and then ready for a baby. And that Marina is twenty-three years old living at home as most Italian young women do. She is considered a spinster for not being married at her age. But later in the book, Marina isn't surprised that her mother doesn't like Gage. Her mother also is very nasty to Marina and tells her to break up with him. None of this makes any sense to me. (hide spoiler)]

There are several other contradictory situations that happen in the book. It just seemed to be all over the place. It was too bad, because as previously stated, I liked the first book and this one feels like it was thrown together. Bummer.
