Guest Review: Torn – Monica Murphy

Marina Knight came to this party for one thing only: to slap Gage Emerson in the face. Poised to snatch up her family’s real estate empire, the sexy tycoon is on the verge of making an enemy for life—even if he can make her melt with a single kiss …
When Gage discovers that the alluring woman before him is the key to his latest acquisition, claiming her as his suddenly doesn’t seem quite so cut-and-dried. To get what he wants, he must get to know the fierce woman willing to face him down—as she steadily steals his heart.
Gage’s persistence and intense passion war with Marina’s determination to protect her family. As they delve deeper into an affair they didn’t see coming, Marina’s torn: Will she lose her heart to Gage—or everything she holds dear?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

3.5 Cocktails

At first Gage and Marina didn’t like each other. They had incredible chemistry but that was about it. Gage kept saying the wrong thing and Marina couldn’t figure out what his angle was. Their relationship was steamy and fun. Gage tried to deny his feelings for her but eventually he had no choice but to give in to Marina and his feelings for her. Archer and Ivy have cameo’s and it’s nice to see their story continue a bit. I like the premise of this story. It’s a nice easy romance. It’s not overly complicated or too deep. There could have been a bit more added to get to the next level. There was just something missing that kept this book from being a four or more star book. The relationship wasn’t detailed as much and there wasn’t a big climax like I was expecting. The writing was good though, so I would read more from this author in hope of seeing her reach her full potential.
