“That’s what love is, isn’t it? It’s when you go to sleep every night hoping that you are less happy than your lover; it’s hoping that you’ve given everything you could to them so that their day could be just a tiny bit better.”
I was so innocent then. So naïve. I thought that I’d been hardened by my time living on the streets, but I’d had no idea how broken I could become. My story is a hard one, full of hope, grief, love, and anger, but it’s a story that needs to be told.
I was only 20 when I first met Mr. Sheffield. He saved me. He gave me a chance. Until I met him, I’d been living on scraps of food from dumpsters and wearing the same filthy clothes that I’d worn when I failed out of college. I was the animal that passed by unseen by the people of the world.
But Mr. Sheffield saw me. He was a handsome older gentleman, but that wasn’t what was important at the time. Out of the goodness of his heart, he gave me a job cooking and cleaning for him. To you, it may seem like a menial task below your station, but to me it was a chance at a life worth living.
Little did he know, I couldn’t cook or clean. Again, he showed his good nature by teaching me, as a father teaches a daughter, with strict punishments and just rewards. He could have forced me from his home like another worthless piece of garbage, but he gave me chance after chance, and in the process, he showed me a world that I’d never dreamed of.
If you’re looking for a story that will warm your heart and make you see the good in the world, look elsewhere. This is about the darkness that lies behind the mask that we all wear. Other stories may bring you romance and candles, but this is a story with claws and teeth. It is raw. It is passion. It is real.
"... gut-wrenching, heartbreaking love story, complicated adult relationships and flawed people instead of cardboard cliches" ~Lilah E. Noir, author of Stroker Ace
Torn is the first of a trilogy and has a cliffhanger ending. The series will conclude with an HEA, but this novel does not have one.
Note This novel contains many explicit BDSM scenes and is intended for adults only.
Torn A Dark BDSM Romance Novel Shattered Lives Book 1 edition by Lexie Syrah Literature Fiction eBooks
This isn't the first book by Lexie that I have read, and it sure in the heck will not be the last!Lexie captures your attention and interest in the opening scene, and holds it through until the very end of this book.
We are introduced to our main female character, a 20 year old former college sorority girl named Maggie, who has spent the past few months homeless and living on the streets, scouring dumpsters for scraps of food to hold her over. She has become jaded, and lives in fear, knowing that she has nowhere to turn. That is until she comes in contact with Mr. Sheffield.
Mr Sheffield is an older, wealthy gentleman who shows sympathy, without showing pity, toward Maggie. He offers her not only lunch, but a job...and for Maggie, his offer brings hope that she may finally have a chance to better her life, make something of herself.
Mr. Sheffield has very strict expectations for Maggie, and should she not live up to them she will receive a punishment.
What starts off as an employer/employee relationship soon develops in to something deeper, darker, more emotionally dependent and intense than either character seems ready for. These two love each other so much, but are so fearful of what that means that they hold back from, or lash out at one another as a way of preserving their own heart. In the end though, that fear leaves them both heartbroken, and torn.
Lexie has written this dark romance in such a way that you are experiencing every emotion along with the characters. The joy, fear, loneliness, hope, jealousy, heartbreak - you feel it all. Some of the scenes go in to so much detail that you may even actually feel them physically. The words leap off the screen and play in your mind like a 3-D movie.
When I began this book I was expecting the great writing that I have come to expect, and look forward to from Lexie; she never disappoints with her creativity in each book, but this one completely surpassed everything I have ever read by her to date. Once I began this tale I couldn't put it down. It is not very often that I read a story that puts me through an emotional ringer like Torn did. It is a story that is more realistic of some love stories, since we know not every story ends with "Happily Ever After". At the end you are left wondering if they are going to find their way to one another...or if their relationship remain forever Torn.
If it were possible to give this book more than 5⭐ I would. Amazon does not have a ranking high enough for this one.
The journey you are taken on when you read Torn will stay with you for a long time, and you will only be disappointed when you read the last page because you will not want it to end.

Torn A Dark BDSM Romance Novel Shattered Lives Book 1 edition by Lexie Syrah Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Honestly this author seems to have very little knowledge of the true dynamics in a D/s relationship. Unless of course the attempt was to portray a besotted fool attempting his first D experience. There also seemed to be some maturity issues with the Sub which is ok when it's used in the story line as a catalyst for discipline, but the author instead constantly let her little witch of a sub to top from the bottom with no reaction from the D, but placating statements. What the hell did I just read?
I give this book 6 out of 5 stars. Excellent read. If you've read any of Lexie Syrah's books, those were just appetizers. This is the main course. Her eloquent writing style really pulls you in as you join the roller coaster ride of Maggie's journey right from the start of Torn. Syrah paints you a beautiful picture of not only what is happening but also the many emotions associated. It is most definitely worth adding to your collection. I smiled, I laughed, I cried, I hoped...I purchased.
I liked reading it very much. I hope there is it will be a volume 2.
I found it a bit too porny, unrealistic, and with very little substance. I won't spend the money on the next book. Just not my style.
I admit to having had a hard time reading this book and it is not the books fault. The book is good, in fact the writing is very good and the story is well laid out.
I had a hard time because I like to know what the people who’s life I share in a book are feeling and how that informs their actions. Mr Sheffield is completely aloof and Maggie only examines the lust he inspires in her and the fact that the pain he inflicts on her is what she craves. I found it interesting that she apparently had the ability to turn pain into pleasure, a concept that is rather alien to me, but it did not explain her actions to me.
This is a book about two people from very different walks of life, with very different levels of experience stumbling unexpectedly into love and neither of them realize it until after they both have done things they can not undo. You might think that that is how the average romance starts, but by the time they do and say things that are irreversible, they have had a sexual master slave relationship for most of the book and we are two thirds through. There is sex without emotional involvement, unexamined feelings that turn into resentment, and finally the usual stupid things humans do and then wonder what on earth happened. And isn’t that how most modern relationships evolve?
What made it so hard for me to read was that the writer refused to explain the emotional dynamics of the master slave relationship so that I was forced to experience it with Maggi who did not truly understand it either. I had to work at understanding the characters and finding things to like about them. It is a mark of how good the writing is that I held out until the point when we get to hear Mr Sheffield’s inner voice and it all becomes so much clearer.
I would really have liked to have Mr Sheffield’s point of view throughout the book. Hearing his inner thoughts would most likely have romanticized the situation and that would have robbed the book of some of it’s authenticity, but still, it would have made the master slave dynamic easier to understand.
As I said, not for the faint of heart, but very much worth it in the end.
Great book with lots of fantastic ideas!
Wished it were longer. Everytime I read it, I'd get erections and imagined spanking the bare bottom of my naughty bitch.
Raw and dirty tale of older man and younger girl. They met by accident in a dark alley. She was homeless and he was lonely. He saved her and she saved him but fear and doubt imploded around them shattering their budding love.
This isn't the first book by Lexie that I have read, and it sure in the heck will not be the last!
