ARC Review: Never Tear Us Apart by Monica Murphy

BOOK INFO

 

“All in all though, this was an interesting read.”
~ Under the Covers

NEVER TEAR US APART is an unconventional romance story, even forbidden if you will.  The heroine Katie was abducted as a 13 year old by a man who kept her chained in his garage and raped her for 3 days.  Until the man’s son finds her and rescues her.  The connection from that point between Katie and Will was strong but they’ve been apart for years.  She’s tried to move on with her life, he’s reinvented himself as a different person.  Until they meet again.

I recently read a book with sort of this type of storyline (HOLD ME CLOSE) but it did develop differently.  However, having read that book so close to this one I kept drawing parallels or wanting other things to happen.  As crazy as this may sound, I wanted this to be darker if that makes sense.

All in all though, this was an interesting read.  The way Ms. Murphy tells the story going back and forth in time gives us enough of a glimpse on what happened to Katie and how that’s affected who she is now.  What I didn’t think I was buying as much was the connection between Will and Katie THEN and how that small glimpse of a connection was so impactful on them especially for Will and how she’s always been the woman for him.

This is a two book story, so this book obviously ends in a cliffhanger.  I was aware of that going in so I was prepared for it when it happened.  I think it was a good stopping point for the author and I will be interested to see how their story finishes.

I’m a 30 something sun lover living in the Big Apple (read New York).I’m a book and coffee addict and lover of all things elephants.

I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!

I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.
