Torn Apart

Torn and Bound Duet, Book 1

By: Nikki Ash, K Webster

Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro, Tim Paige

I've spent the past three years in college terrorizing the dean, also known as my father. I'm everything he hates. Troublemaker. Slacker. Gay.

But I'm only getting started. I'm about to make Dad really proud with my newest life choices....

I fall for my best friend, Mia, who's a freaking chick. I'm dying to make out with my enemy, dude bro Brayden. And best of all, I want to bone my new roomie, Drew, who happens to also be the school's new hockey coach.

Senior year's great. I'm still the world's worst human. I've made all the wrong decisions, and when Dad gets wind of my newest mess, he might actually disown me this time.

But I can't stop. I don't want to stop.

In typical Ashton Carter fashion, I wreck my life in the worst possible way. It isn't until it's all torn apart, I realize I have a problem. Me.

Contains mature themes.

I loved this story and narration!

I'm going to mainly talk about the narration because my full review was going to be on Goodreads but the story is amazing and the narrator's are absolutely fantastic! Tim Paige is amazing! He does such a great job making each MMC sound different in the best way. I've listened to a lot of audio books and I know it's hard to make each male character in a reverse Harem sound different and not make one of them sound ridiculous(I've had that happen a few times) and Kelsey Navarro is awesome I love her voice she is a fantastic Mia❣️

So hot!!!

Such a good book!!! Lots of spice!! Glad there is a second book!! Great read

So darn good!!

This was different from the RH books I typically listen to. All the characters are awesome and I love how they don't let people tear them down. The first few hours of the first book didn't grab my attention but I hung in there and I'm so glad I did! The narrators were fantastic!!!

good concept, missing details

There are several places where the story jumps and misses details. I get that it's about the main characters, but the rest of the story needs to be there too. Otherwise, great concept, great story about people who want to be poly but don't realize it yet.

Equal parts hilarious and dreamy

I’m new to these authors but found this because I love Tim Paige as a narrator, and this is one of his best performances. I love how he portrays the 3 male leads. Fantastic story, really interesting characters and I love the snarky banter between them. It’s laugh-out-loud funny and I’ll definitely listen to this again.

Love is messy

The most entangled love triangle, or square, I have ever read. I hope it all wraps up in the next book.

Emotional, Hysterical, Tense, Twisty

I love the characters. Even when you want to hate them, you end up rooting for them. Can’t wait to read book 2 since book 1 ends on a cliffhanger.

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️. (very little spice but it’s good when it’s there)
POV: Lots — Quad?
HEA: Not yet?
Cliffhanger: Yep
Tropes: gay BFF, rich kids with crappy parents, poorer kids with great parents, college kids, sports guy & nerd girl

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ INFERNO. P@nty melting

🌶️🌶️ Meh… uninspired missionary
🌶️ Does weak foreplay count?

Sexy and Angst

Ash and Mia are best friends for a long time but Ash is into guys, Mia respects that ‘til one day, they kissed. From there, it’s a story about how love is a dangerous game especially for these 2. I do like the characters and the story is so intense. It does have plenty of sexiness and so, be aware, it’s in a erotic approach. It was tough for me in the beginning, to follow along due to the fact I want into the story but you must remember it’s not a duo, it’s for 4 person book. I have to say, Kelsey and Tim are amazing for this- They are so talented and manage to have many voices, no confusion who’s talking to who. Overall, a controversial story and makes you think what is love and what is acceptable, what’s okay in being in a relationship. It’s something new to me and Yes, I do want to read the next book.

Awesome

I have listening to both books multiple times now and it’s feels like the first time all over again..

All the drama

This was fun! The cast really brought the characters to life and the plot was so gooood
