Jo Davis had a brilliant idea, create a world where the heroine will meet and fall hard for two different heroes and let the readers decide who she will end up. Once readers have voted and the hero has been decided, Ms. Davis will then finish their story in the third novella. Brilliant, right?Raw, is the first novella set in the Torn Between Two Lovers world. It introduces us to the heroine, Anna Claire, and the first of her two potential HEAs, Grayson James.Gray is a FBI agent who is working undercover at Anna's restaurant. Drugs are being dealt out of the restaurant and Gray needs to find out who's involved and just how deep the operation goes. Most importantly, he must figure out if the woman he has fallen for is aware of what is going on or if it's happening right under her nose. He will do whatever he has to to get to the truth, even if that means manipulating moments to get closer to Anna. When it is all said and done will Anna be able to trust Gray or write off their little affair?While I loved the premise of the Torn Between Two Lovers trilogy and liked the characters, I didn't feel there was much substance. Maybe it's because it is in novella format and certain things needed to be more fleshed out for me. Regardless, I enjoyed reading Raw and definitely plan on reading Risky, the second novella, so I can decide who I think should win Anna's heart. As of right now, Joaquin, the billionaire bad boy has his work cut out for him cause Gray is super smexy.*eARC PROVIDED BY PENGUIN GROUP VIA NETGALLEY*
