Dahlia was certain she had found true love and met her "Once in a Lifetime" when she reconnected with River. But Dahlia's world comes crashing down when someone from her past resurfaces, and all of River's carefully hidden secrets are exposed.

River wants to show Dahlia that life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass - it's about dancing in the rain! But how many times can one broken heart be mended? Will River and Dahlia be able to face the turmoil together or will they be torn apart?

This book was not nearly as good as the first in the series. I feel like nothing really happened (other than the one big thing). The rest was just filler with boring events and arguments that were stupid. That’s the review of the book. Regarding the narrators, Christian Fox was great. Veronica Meunch was not. I loved her performing The Girl in 6E (great series!), but she was horrible in this book. She pronounced “hand” as “hey-and” and that word seemed to be in every paragraph of the book. She pronounced “bury” as “burry,” like rhymes with “hurry.” That word was also used a lot. Lastly, she sounded like she has emphysema. She was drawing in sharp breaths before sentences, and her breath had that wheezing noise. Reviews for the next book in the series mention that she sounds like she has a cold, so I’m going to pass. She also used a “baby talk” voice through a lot of the book. Worth a credit? IMO, no.

Would you listen to Torn again? Why?

OH YEAH..

Who was your favorite character and why?

I AM GOING WITH RIVER, HE HAD TO ENDURE A LOT.

Which character – as performed by Veronica Meunch and Christian Fox – was your favorite?

Christian did a great job with Ben voice, even though I think he does a sexy River. Also Veronica, I would watch out for her.. She is going to be one of the up and coming voices you will love to listen to. They both were outstanding

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, and I did, all day today..

Any additional comments?

I waited for this book to come out, and it was killing me. After reading the first one, I was out of my mind. I just knew that cliffhanger was going to destroy me and a group of others that were following Ms. Karr books. And we are very happy this book was written the way it was.. . But tonight I am proud to say we are Happy and tears were flowing over the love these two have for one another. I got to say this as well. Nothing was boring about this book. She wrote everything that was needed to keep them in the space they were at from book one. It was good to see emotions, fears, and pure anger come out in this, it was needed to make this book what it had to be. Second time I have said this.. These are books that made women read.. And they are hard to find. Pay attention authors.. this is what we love, adore and want.

OMG....THIS BOOK IS OUTSTANDING..

✨ "When love faces the storm, do you hold on tighter or let go?"

Read if you like: second chances, soulmates, emotional rollercoasters, rock star romances, and stories about navigating the storms of love.

📚 Torn picks up right where Connected left us hanging and dives straight into the twists and turns of River and Dahlia’s story. With secrets exposed and a blast from the past threatening their happiness, this sequel challenges their bond in ways that push them toward growth, understanding, and maturity.

👨‍👧 River Wilde is the devoted, swoon-worthy rock star who truly shines in this book. His resilience and passion for Dahlia make you root for him from start to finish. Meanwhile, Dahlia steps into her own power—becoming stronger, wiser, and more secure in both herself and their relationship. Seeing her evolution made their love story feel even more authentic and earned.

💞 River and Dahlia’s chemistry remains electric, but what stands out here is how their love deepens. It’s no longer just sparks and passion; it’s about weathering the storms together. The emotional complexity of their relationship is beautifully portrayed, proving that true love is about more than just the highs—it’s about holding on through the lows.

👧 Secondary characters play a more prominent role in *Torn*, adding depth to the story and highlighting just how important a support system can be during tough times. Their moments of levity and wisdom balance the intense emotional stakes.

🌟 Torn reminds us that love isn’t perfect—it’s messy, challenging, and sometimes painful—but when it’s real, it’s worth fighting for.

Wouldn't everyone love to have such a love story? The story held my interest. A couple of pieces of the story seemed a little unbelievable but makes the book interesting. I really like Christian Fox.

awesome love story

Loved the story. Loved the narrators. This was the perfect continuation of River and Dahlia’s story. Loved their growth and the undeniable connection they had. The narrators brought these two to life and really added so much to the story!

Loved it!!

Great conclusion to a great 2 part book. It didn't drag on letting the pieces fall into place so that River & Dahlia get their happily ever after. Their love story was romantic without being overly mushy which is not always easily found. I'm hoping the author continues with maybe Ben's story and maybe the others. But if not, at least River & Dahlia are finally together & happy.

Love this Series. Hope there's more.

I love River. It seemed to resolve all their issues by the middle of the book. Also, wish River had stayed in the band.

It dragged a little at the end, but it was a beautiful HEA

Torn picks up where we were left hanging in Connected. River and Dahlia are about to leave for Vegas to tie the knot but everything changes after receiving one phone call. From beginning to the end, this love story between Dahlia and River will take your breath a way. Kim Karr manages to deliver a very passionate, heartfelt, steamy and emotional story.  In this book, we discover many buried lies and secrets that are revealed, the strongest of bonds and loyalties are tested. There may be lots of drama, but its perfectly balanced by intense, beautiful, steamy scenes that we patiently anticipate from the author. They're not only sexy delicious but deeply meaningful. It's what keeps them strongly connected. This is just a beautiful love story between two soul mates who must learn to trust and have faith in one another despite all the obstacles life provides them. I won't spoil it for you so that's all your gonna get from me! Oh btw... the romance in this book is truly smokin' hot!

When I originally read the description of these books, I was concerned that we would get a wishy washy woman trying to decide between two men, which I don't mind to a point, but gets old. Honestly, if it's right, you better know it. That was NOT the case here!!! I am so happy with this book, there is A LOT of heartache and pain, a lot of unbelievable situations but this isn't real life, it is a book, that is why we read them, not to live in the land of laundry, dishes and kids but to enjoy a fantasy land. This book is not really fantasy in that way, but in some areas were a little far fetched, mostly the Ben stuff. BTW...I hate Ben. I have nothing positive to say about him, I know some people like him and that's great, but I don't. For some reason even from the first book I knew he was a weasel.

This book is of course hard for Dahlia but also for River, he has a lot of stuff going on with him too, I cried for both of them several times. But all in all, I like them both. HUGE revelations here and lots of "WOW!! Didn't see that coming" moments, but so good.

I would and have recommended this series and will continue to follow it as the new books are released.

Oh So Much! Drama, Romance, Heartache & LOVE
