Torn to Pieces

By: Harper Ashley

Narrated by: Adrienne Fleming

Length: 5 hrs and 43 mins

Publisher's summary

We all crave what we can't have.

Josephine left everything she had ever known when her mother announced she was getting married and was thrust head-first into a new life that came equipped with an instant family. A chance encounter at a backwoods bar leaves her yearning for more, but when she discovers the obscenely hot stranger is her soon-to-be stepbrother, here was no way she could have prepared for that bombshell or the intense rollercoaster of lust and love that would soon follow.

This incredibly sexy, mysterious bad boy sets her body on fire. With every encounter, he lets her see behind those walls he’d built up a little bit more which only makes her need for him intensify.

As the wedding grows closer, the reality of what is happening becomes too much to ignore. This new perfect family is all her mother has ever dreamed of, and this forbidden relationship would crush those dreams.

There only seems to be two choices: Does she break her mother’s heart? Or does she break her own?

Adrienne Fleming did an amazing job

I listened to this on audible and first I want to say the amazing job the narrator Adrienne Fleming did with voicing all the characters even the male characters. I was pleasantly surprised at how she made her voice work for each individual character.

The story itself was fun and entertaining for sure. The banter was A+. Alec and Jo’s chemistry was amazing and though they shouldn’t be together because of the situation they found themselves in, they still fell for each other anyway. I couldn’t help but root for them to work out. This was my first Harper Ashley book that I’ve read but it won’t be my last. Happy reading!

Cute story!

This was a great quick listen! The story was sweet and filled with true emotion. One could relate to the characters and the troubles they dealt with.
This is a must read/listen if you’re looking for something real and true!

forbidden romance

Jojo's mom recently engaged, moved them from Florida to their future new home.
Jojo was drawn to Alec when she first saw him. Little did she know he was her future stepbrother. They were both in shock when he showed up later at his home.
Alec is dark, unemotional, known for no relationships. He never got over the death of his mother. That attributed to his dark, surly.attitude.
Jojo wanted to bring him out of his darkness, she wanted to be his light.
They both know it was wrong. They were like magnetts, drawn to each other.
Harper Ashley has written an emotional, angsty, forbidden romance.
A rollercoaster ride of emotions. She shows Jojo.and Alec strengths, weaknesses an vulnerability.
Adrienne Fleming narration is phenomenal. She portrays all characters and gives them their own voices and personalities.
I was gifted this audio and offered my honest review.

Stepbrother story

I’m usually the first in line when you tell me the story is going to be on the taboo side. The problem with that is that I’ve read and listened to a lot of the same story. This one had a bad boy with heart, but if you’ve read a lot of romance books, it might seem a little predictable. Still a good story, though it felt a bit rushed.

5⭐️/3🌶️

This is one of my favorite new novellas!!! I am absolutely obsessed with Harper Ashley! I wanted this book to be so much longer! The second Jo and Alec met eyes I knew I would be hooked. The step brother trope was done very well and was hot. Most people would probably think that Nate was a nice guy but honestly I felt like he was just waiting to stab his best friend in the back. I loved the sister bond Jo and Allie formed. I would have loved for it to be dual POV and a little more from Sean and Alec relationship. Otherwise it was fantastic!

Love the Narration!

It's incredible how a narrator can bring a story to life. I loved listening to it.

5 STAR read!

I was so invested in these characters right from the beginning. The story of Alec and Jo was told so well. Thanks for sharing their journey.

So good! ❤️

This book was a page turner. I didn’t want it to end I wanted more of them. But omg still such a great read. The tension, chemistry, and banter was everything. If you haven’t read this do it. So worth it. Check triggers 18+

Hidden Forbidden Romance

The story was great. You can’t help who you fall in love with. The battle that Jo and Alec face through this book is crazy. They get put through some trials but they let their love for each other guide them where they need to be. Harper did some awesome writing!!! Adrienne told the story so well with all the emotions. Would love to see more of this book and hear where their friends end up.

Great book.

Great story and loved the narrator. Can’t wait for her next book to get on audible.
