Torn Apart by Nikki Ash, K. Webster

2.75

I honestly had higher hopes for this book. Being written by two of my favorite authors, I expected angst and sexual tensions to be built and steamy scenes. But instead I feel like I was duped and got nothing but filler. I really feel like half of this could’ve not been included and it would’ve still made sense. All four of them are just bouncing around with their emotions and feelings, not a single one actually talked things out to the point of solution. I don’t know, I just expected more. 

SYNOPSIS:

Ashton is gay. Mia is his best friend and she’s a virgin who’s in love with him. She nearly has a one night stand with Drew, but stops it. Drew just moved back and is the new hockey coach, and coincidentally is Ashton’s new roommate. And Brayden is failing two subjects and bought test answers off of Ashton (they don’t really like one another), but Drew finds out and forces him to get tutoring, and his tutor ends up being Mia. Oh, and Drew and Brayden are old friends who had a rough falling out years ago. All of them have complicated feelings toward one another, too much to summarize. Mia and Ashton kiss a couple times and it kind of ruins their friendship. Ashton and Drew halfway hooked up, and now they’re avoiding one another. Drew and Brayden almost made up, and also kissed. And Brayden and Ashton let their tension boil over and kissed. The end of this book shows Drew and Mia walking in on the other two kissing. Mia is blindsided by this because she was supposed to be in a semi-relationship with Brayden, but also kind of with Ashton, and neither of them told her about their feelings like this. Etc.
