Review: Torn but still loved
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 12, 2014
I have debated on whether or not to give this book 5 or 4 stars because of a few reasons, but finally decided on 5 stars because if you find a book that keeps you reading not wanting to put it down, and makes you anxious, upset, happy, and every other emotion while you are engrossed in it, then it is an amazing book and needs 5 stars even if you didn't like how the author put some of it together. Because really my only complaints in this book were how long the author spent having Sara captured by Remy, held in the bunker and not much mention of Jaxson.Then all the flash backs telling us details about things we already knew about what happened in the first book.  She told us the summary version of things like Jaxson in jail in the first book, and then started giving detail in flashbacks in the second book.  So even when I was starting to get a little irritated at this when I was 40% into the book, it still kept me so enthralled that it just was a small thing that I got over.What amazes me most and makes me the most happy about this book and the first one (Ignite) is how the story always had something happening to keep the story moving along and didn't stall out in the second book.  I am amazed at the authors ability to weave this complicated beautiful love story and she actually ended it in the second book and didn't drag it out too long where I wondered why I bought the next book in the series like I have done with so many others.I had a hard time liking Sara in this book.  She really is not a very smart person and makes bad decision after another toward the end of the book.  If she had betrayed Jaxson one more time, I would not be giving this book 5 stars!  Jaxson is so loyal to her and loves this woman no matter how she treats him or betrays him.  She totally changed his life and took him down a hard road after he had given her a good life where she could have finished college with a law degree and she throws it away.  But in the end she learns from her mistakes and FINALLY chooses to trust him and be loyal.  This series of books are ones that you will always remember, they are not forgettable in any way.  Just loved them!
