Torn (Whiskey Sharp, #3)

by Lauren Dane

Sometimes what you find isn't what you were searching for.

Beau Petty has been searching his whole life. Searching for a place that fills all the empty spaces in him. Searching for a way to tame the restlessness. Searching for answers to the secret he's never stopped trying to solve. What he wasn't searching for was a woman to claim all of him, but when Cora Silvera walks back into his life, he's ready to search out all the ways he can make her his.

Cora has spent her life as the family nurturer, taking care of others. But now she's ready to pass that job on to someone else. It's time to make some changes and live for herself. It's in that moment that her former teenage crush re-appears and the draw and the heat of their instant connection is like nothing either of them have experienced. He craves being around her. She accepts him, dark corners and all.

Beau thinks Cora's had enough drama in her life. He wants to protect her from the secrets of his past, even if it means holding back the last pieces of himself. But Cora is no pushover and she means to claim all those pieces.

Torn intrigued me right away because it was a little like a second chance in that the characters knew each other before, but not totally a second chance since they weren't dating before. Its a low angst story which I adore; however, I think it was a little slow because not much happens. Its more of a chronicle of their relationship; again, I appreciated the low angst since both of them have had enough angst in their past, but readers may find this a bit of a slow pace.

Cora and Beau are total #relationshipgoals! They are truly devoted to making each other happy. It was such a pleasant read to see a more mature relationship as opposed to the drama-llama types with miscommunications and manufactured problems. Bottom line, while this might be a slow plot for those who love the angst, its perfect for those who like to see a couple work together on real life issues. Torn will appeal to readers who are sick of new adult relationships that are fraught with immature rubbish.

While this is book 3 of the series, you can read them as stand alones. I haven't read the previous books and it didn't affect my enjoyment at all!
