Three days. It has been three days since I finished reading Arsen and my blood is STILL boiling and my heart is STILL torn with this book! Ben versus Arsen. Arsen versus Ben. I was back and forth I don’t even know how many times with this book! And Cathy…don’t get me started on Cathy! I was so close to crushing my Kindle in my hands with the amount of frustration that Arsen left me in.I knew what I was getting myself into with reading Arsen. One of my very best friends told me “You have to read this book! OMG! It is amazing!” She also warned me that it was a helluva emotional rollercoaster. I love a good love triangle, and I love angst, but no amout of warning prepared me for the complete and total wreckage that my mind was left in after Mia Asher had her wicked way with me.First we have Cathy. She is married to the perfect man. Ben. He is the epitome of what every woman wants her husband to be like. After eleven years, he is still madly, deeply and totally in love with her. He is sexy, tall, dark and handsome. Everything you want in a man. But, Cathy has been dealing with heartbreaking and painful issues. My heart truly broke for her because of the circumstances she was in. All that aside, I wanted to reach in to the screen of my Kindle and strangle the living daylights out of her! Agh! She made me have violent thoughts!Ben. I already said that Ben is the perfect man. I started out totally in love with Ben. I wanted to tell him to kick Cathy to the curb and I would marry him. I adored him. But then he did something that totally pissed me off. Or did he? Or didn’t he? Gah! Mia Asher had me swinging every which way!Arsen. The young, bad boy. The player. The man that is the epitome of sex on legs. I really wanted to hate him. I really wanted to not fall for this beautiful broken man. I wanted him and Cathy to run off and be the lying, cheating horrible people I wanted them to be. But Arsen has a heart. He has a wounded soul that I wanted to make all better. He redeemed himself, until he didn’t and had me wanting to castrate him. Then he made me fall for him all over again. Damn him!All in all, Mia Asher has written a book that gets my hackles raised just thinking about it again. My emotions were all over the place and I STILL can’t decide what I really think or feel about this book, other than I am in awe of the amazingness of Arsen. And Ben.
