Torn It was an interesting mystery and I liked Kathleen Doyle, however Lord Acton is a stalkerish creep. I honestly didn't get the romance of it. Quite apart from the disparity in class and wealth, and yes this shouldn't matter but when she's Irish, living from paycheque to paycheque and a rookie and he's an English Lord with a lot more seniority and is quite wealthy. He follows her and basically doesn't take no for an answer. I didn't find it romantic, I found it troubling to be honest and while I might read more in the series I hope the author addresses the problematic issues as the series goes on.
This is fairly classic abuser behaviour and I could see other people having problems with it, I didn't really see a build of romance but our views of the story are coloured by the voices telling it.
Overall it was quite readable and while I had problems I did finish the book quite quickly
