What can I say, it is what it is and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I consider Torn tabloid fanfiction, a what if about a well known and successful married movie star falling in love with his married co-star. Sound like anybody you know? He is in the tabloid marriage of the century but he is also unhappy and desperately want kids that his showbiz wife want give him. Now do you know him? His co-star got the part on a fluke, she is happily married to her husband of 10yrs, but as the story unfolds there are hidden issues that will be brought to the light that can no longer be ignored as their marriage unravels. One is the desire to have more children, she wants more he doesn't. How do we get to a HEA, is it possible?If you hate cheating or marriage infidelity you will not like this book. Ty and Chelsea are married to other people when they get together. Chelsea had a good marriage to a good man, they have 2 little girls that they both love, how can she risk it all for what many would call a pipe dream. And Ty although he is at the end of his marriage how could he let his guard down to get involved with a married woman. At times their romance was sweet but it was also extremely selfish. Chelsea's husband Jake had his faults, how he dealt with being the cuckold husband was hilarious at times and also bittersweet. When Chelsea was trying to explain to Jake why Ty is her soul mate he was thinking...."He was going to run screaming like a woman from the ambulance, and probably choke a biotch on his way out." The author has a talent for making the reader feel two opposing emotions at the same time. Your heart is breaking because a marriage is ending but on the flip side it had its funny moments. The supporting cast of characters helped move this story along and gave it depth. The old adage..less is more..applies to the sex scenes. The sex is hot but it does not take center stage, the emphasis is on the relationships that are formed.Relationships can be messy, this book dealt with a messy subject, you will either love or hate Chelsea and Ty, they are far from perfect. There were moments I hated both of them and pitied Jake, but in the end I really liked them all. Christina Brunkhorst wrote one heck of a page turner, you will be flipping pages like crazy to see how this story will end.
