Description
He's loved me since the day I was born. He's taken care of me. He's awakened me.
Tor is my father's best friend. Fifteen years older than me, he's always been my protector. The one I should never, ever want. But I was born to be his.
She's always loved me. She's shattered me. She's healed me.
Kenzi is my best friend's daughter. I held her the day she was born, and I never let go. She's forbidden to me. But she's the only one who really gets me.
We're slowly being torn apart by everything we love. Everything we want. Everything we desire. And now I want the one thing I can't have. I want her.

Forbidden, Taboo, But Oh, So Right!
Who can say they've loved the same person in so many ways, all their life.
My first Carian Cole book and WOW did she ever enthrall me with a rare, unforgettable, one in million love story. It was taboo, walked the line, and seared a place in my heart. Hooked from the first chapter, glued to my headphones, I know, no matter how many more romance stories I listen too in the future, I will always remember this one vividly. While this story may not be for some, I LOVE It!
Some spoilers:
A well written, passionate, poetic, story that builds angst, chemistry, love and sexual tension by alternating between the past and present. We see Tor and Kenzi's love grow, and transform over her lifespan. He's been in her life daily from day one, and was there to take care of Kenzi when her parents had to be away. She's grown up thinking of him as Uncle Tor, but as she reaches adulthood her feelings grow deeper. She no longer thinks of him as the uncle who was there to kiss her boo-boos, read her a bedtime story, or help navigate her teen years, but rather as a man that makes her burn with passion and her heart flutter. The flashback scenes really show how much Tor cared and loved Kenzi throughout the years, and built the angst Tor felt for developing deeper emotional feelings for Kenzi. But as she matures, he cannot deny their connection, and the love they have for each other. Kenzi's becomes the one women who truly understands Tor, she loves him and wants to be with him. As they accept and give into their feelings, love and start a relationship, there is one hurdle in their way, not everyone will accept or understand their relationship. Their love will be put to the test, when the lines have been crossed, truth comes out, and friends feel betrayed.
The narrations was awesome! Both Noelle Bridges, and Mason Lloyd performance was flawless; they really delivered on all the various emotions, and characters.
Torn was an amazing one of kind romance that may not be for everyone, but was truly unforgettable, and filled with so many beautiful poetic words and quotes. Well worth the time, and credit! Carian Cole has a passion for animals and it radiates throughout the story. As a dog lover, I found these scenes just as touching and heart-warming as Tor and Kenzi's love story.

MORAL TURPITUDE?
This is an Ashes & Embers spinoff. I wish Ashes & Embers was somewhere in the title so people know this. I found out by reading Amazon book reviews.
This book will push your moral boundaries. IMO you'll have one of three reactions:
1. Moral Disgust
2. Sympathy
3. Understanding
Let's add a fourth:
4. All of the above...which are the emotions I went thru.
I can add a fifth emotion...IRRITATION. After listening for 6 hours I almost stopped because of Carian Cole dragging out the push-n-pull dilemma. So I took a break and when I started back listening to the second half the story picked up.
In previous books there is the mention of Asher's wife, Kenzie's mother...Ember. But only that she's not around and Asher is in a dark place. We do find out in this story what happened to Ember but no details. I've read that Asher's story is next so we'll find out exactly what happened to Ember.
I adored Torn and his family's dog rescue and shelter. There were parts of the dog rescues that tore up my heart.
I love this series. Corian Cole incorporates unusual real life issues with a fiction story that takes you thru an array of emotions. It's not about a band on tour (the band is in the background) it's about the lives of the band members and their family issues & challenges. The family also has a lot of love, romance, and sexy times.
Noelle Bridges and Mason Lloyd gave a great performance.
Worth a credit/$$ - I'm on the fence with this one, as I was with Vandal.

I enjoyed this book very much! Talk about foreplay.... 80% of this book is build up. I love the Ashes & Embers series and was a little disappointed to see there was a new series out by this author when I was waiting for more in that series but then I started this and realized this book is from the same world and we get a little visit from almost everyone in the Ashes & Embers series too! When I first realized where this book was going I thought the age gap was too large and the history was to much like family but the author changed my mind completely. I love that she goes back and forth with peeks from the past, that helps understand the history between these characters. This book was sweet & sexy all in one! I can't wait for more from this author.
The narration was great too!

It's Popular for a Reason
When I saw this book was one of the more popular books in the Romance Package all I could wonder is why? This guy falls in love with his best friends daughter. She called him uncle when she was young, for goodness sakes. I'm not saying it's Flowers in the Attic gross, but that's pretty close. Still, from the very beginning every time I wanted to quit listening, I couldn't. I had to know what was going to happen next. Even when story flashed back into the past, reminding me once again, he used to change this girl's diaper. (A knowledge that repeatedly caused my mind to completely reject the idea of the two of them being together.) I had to know what would happen next and if I would ever be okay with this relationship. And isn't that the hallmark of a good story? Intrigue and Empathy. So, in my opinion, that aspect alone makes this book worth it.

Major Book Hangover
So, normally I just rate the books after I finish them and rarely do I feel inclined to leave a written review these days. THIS book, however, left me with so many feels that I had no choice but to write a few words down just so I could prolong the wonderful afterglow from listening to this story.
Initially, I thought the main draw to this story would be the "taboo" aspect of the romance - but it was so much more than just a story about a younger girl and an older guy. Tor and Kenzi's history was beautifully woven throughout the story in brief flashbacks which did not detract from the present tense.
I really enjoyed the slow burn of the push and pull during the first half, and the spice of the second half of the story was even more fun to listen to. I will definitely be revisiting this story again soon and I look forward to reading Tyler's story next.

TORN.. BUT THE HEART WANTS WHAT THE HEART WANTS
It was a forbidden romance.. taboo, controversial, unique and bravely written about because this is a love story that defies 'the norm' and pushes moral boundaries and you're either going to understand why these two characters fell in love or you're going to be grossed out by it.
Tor's best friends were rock musicians who, at aged 15, enlisted his help to look after Kenzi - their baby daughter.. making him her godfather and surrogate uncle who, throughout the years, was there every step of the way. First words, first steps, first period, first boyfriend.. and, as it turns out, her first lover too. Tor was there for them all - and he was also the only person that was consistently there for Kenzi. Now successful rock legends Ashes & Embers Kenzi's parents were gone so much that her life became moulded around all the things Tor.. her favorite person in the whole world. But then one night after a bad prom date Tor would come to Kenzi's rescue and an innocent walk down memory lane sparked a new feeling between them.. desire - desire that, no matter how much they tried to ignore or fight it, would bring them the greatest highs and the lowest of lows.
Torn is a great title because it doesn't only reflect Tor's feelings but also the listeners too because I was constantly confused as to whether their relationship was a natural and normal progression or whether it was taboo unhealthy and wrong. But Carian Cole put in scenes and sentiments that were heartfelt and so meaningful that I couldn't deny the rightness of their relationship and love. There were glimpses of Tor's past with her parents and their shared pasts together which highlighted their 15 yr age differences in paragraphs before selective Chapters. Thought provoking dual POV storyline, enjoyable, pushes boundaries, sex, tender touching scenes and great narration - it's a listen that'll be hard to forget.
Worth a credit? I'll be honest that there were times that this listen didn't sit well with me but the heart wants what the heart wants I guess and who are we to judge what's right or what's normal? And, as Carian Cole so wisely wrote: Why is it acceptable to get involved with a total stranger, who could do any number of things to hurt you or betray you, but not get involved with someone who has cared about you since the day you were born? It's all a matter of social perspective? end quote. So my perspective is that Yes this was a creditworthy listen.

Wow, just wow!
I honestly wasn't sure about this book when I picked it up, because the premise seemed a bit... skeevy. I hate to even say that now that I read it, but that being said, I'm so glad I gave it a chance.
This was a beautiful love story from start to finish, and it encompassed every kind of love, not just the romance of falling in love.
I both read and listened to this one, both ways are enjoyable, although the female voice in the audiobook added to my sketchy feelings in the beginning, because she didn't transfer to a more mature/less mature voice (real time vs flashback memories) for Kenzi. Hearing a "little girly" sounding speech pattern for a "mature beyond her years" 18 year old almost ruined it. I tucked that little issue aside though and just got lost in the story.
The questionable subject matter was handled so beautifully that any taboo feelings you might have had going in are washed away, and you can't help but wish for Kenai and Tor to get their HEA.
Absolutely lovely!

Torn......that's the way I felt about this book
The main male and female leads were strong and even though some people thought their story and love for each other wrong, I did not feel that way. I did not like the constant going back and forth in their lives. I felt like it was too much filler,it was getting really tedious half way through the book. I skipped a few chapters and didn't feel like I missed much . I was wondering for the longest time what happened to Ember. This where I debated giving the story 2or3 stars. I am very disappointed, that you packed a good portion of the story in the last chapter and could have expanded so much more with this part of their lives and her parents lives . You just balled it all up in the epilogue . I really hate when authors do this. It feels rushed and it's like you just ran out of time and needed to get out there. This is the best part of their lives and you ruined it for me. The stars are for the characters, but your ending sucks!

Sorry, I just Couldn't Get Into It
Sorry, I couldn’t get into this. I have always been into older guys, but this is wrong to epic portions. He is equivalent to her dad. It made me feel really weird, the only thing I could think of is child porn, even though she was 17-18 when it started. It made me sick. It’s one thing if he only came around her once in a while and not basically raise her.

Soo steamy! So taboo!
I haven't been excited about a book in a long time. this had my attention all night and day. He gives you the moral angst that society would have you feel. She gives you the desire to throw it to the wind. AND THE SEX! (fans self) Yes, I need to read/listen to all of this authors books if they are anything like this.

Sensitive, romantic and beautiful!
This very sensitive topic of a man who has been helping to raise his best friend's daughter and eventually falling in love with her, as she did with him, has been dealt with beautifully. The memories thrown in from earlier years show how their relationship changed and evolved without a hint of dirt or impropriety to it. When the two finally fall in love, it is a natural progression in adulthood and their deep love is that of a strong bond that exists between true twin flames. The love, care and sensitivity the author put into writing this story is striking and deserves special praise, too. The only thing I could possibly complain about is that the end seems a little rushed after the author took so much time and dedication to describe the emotional evolution of the characters and their interaction. But the I hope it will be mentioned in the next books of the series some more. Overall, a beautiful story of love told with as much romance as sensitivity. I love it!

Einfach traumhaft!
Hierbei handelt es sich um ein sehr romantisch-sinnliches Buch, das trotzdem leicht zu lesen (zu hören) ist. Die Entwicklung der einzelnen Charaktere ist gut nachvollziehbar und schlüssig, gleiches gilt für den Handlungsstrang. Allerdings sollte man Romanzen wirklich mögen, aber wenn das der Fall ist kann man sich wirklich auf eine unter die Haut gehende, herzzerreißende, manchmal einfach cool und auch niedliche Geschichte freuen. Dieses Buch hat mich wirklich eingesammelt und mitgenommen, persönlich würde ich es einfach als wunderschön bezeichnen.
