When Sky’s parents moved
from San Francisco to Boulder City in Nevada, she thought her life was
over, until she met the Hudson boys. Two years older than her, tattooed
bad boy Nate was confident, cocky, good looking, and a straight talker.
He was the unattainable guy that all the girls wanted, but the one their
fathers warned them to steer clear of. Josh had all of his brother’s
looks, but he was the sweet charmer your mother would beg you to marry.
Their cousin Billy lacked the brothers’ good looks, so relied on his
quick wit to attract the girls.
When all three of them set their sights on Sky, they became competitive, and cracks in their close bond began to form.
Torn between her loyalty to all three, and feelings for one, Sky was faced with a dilemma.
When she made her decision, she had no idea that her choice would set them all on a path that would tear the group apart.

Torn between her loyalty to all three, and feelings for one, Sky was faced with a dilemma.
When she made her decision, she had no idea that her choice would set them all on a path that would tear the group apart.
When Sky Torres moved to Boulder City with her parents, she had
expected it to be like all of the other times she had moved. Not really making
friends, but just getting through school, only she was not in school anymore,
she was heading to college and her best friend Liam, was back in San Francisco.
But she never thought she would meet 3 guys would change her whole life, but
that is exactly what brothers Nate and Josh Hudson and their cousin Billy
did…but not all for the good.
All of the Hudson men want to date her, but they are so very different;
Nate is the older of the brothers, a bit of a man whore and on his college
baseball team. His younger brother Josh is the boy next door, sweet, handsome
and would make any women swoon, and along with Billy, he will be in Sky's
college classes . Their cousin Billy doesn't have the bothers looks, but is
shy, introverted, when he is not in one of his moods that is. But not
everything is what it seems in the Hudson Homes. Nate and Josh lost their
father in a helicopter accident and Billy lost his father to his demons, when
he committed suicide and Nate has been taking care of his alcoholic mother and
protecting Josh from her drunken rages.
But despite all of the drama, each one wants Sky for themselves, but
when Sky chooses, it brings dire consequences for all of them.
WOW! This book completely blew my mind!! I have read thousands of
romance books, but not one of those books have ever been like this! I had
assumed that this book would be the bog standard love square And I couldn't
have been more wrong if I had tried. This story touches on so many subjects and
it does it SO well, that the author amazes me with the level of research she
must have done; from alcoholism to mental illness and other disabilities, the
detail was very real. As the sister of someone with mental illness, the tunnel
vision and the sudden violence is a very real thing and I really do appreciate
the author writing about the story in a very unbiased way.
The characters are simply amazing in this book! But I can't tell you
too much or it gives away the story. But there were two secondary characters
that I would really love to see again, Liam and Saunders! Those two were the
best side kicks ever!
C.J. Fallowfield is truly an amazing author, whom has the ability to
get inside your head and completely screw you up, so you can ONLY think about
this book for days or weeks! Heck I had a book hangover before I even finished!
Which is way I give Torn 5 stars!
Thank you so much Cara, so happy it touched you and that you felt I handled some of the difficult topics sensitively. Brilliant review, I have a review hangover now! CJ x
