Discussing Torn by Stephanie Mewborn

TORN - AS A TEENAGER CASSIDY HOLLAND HAD ALWAYS PRAYED FOR A BETTER LIFE. HER TROUBLED PAST HAD MADE HER LOSE ALL HER FAITH IN MEN. SHE'D PROMISED HERSELF THAT SHE WOULD NEVER ALLOW HERSELF TO GET CLOSE TO ANOTHER MAN BUT ALL THAT CHANGED WHEN SHE MET DOMINICK DESOTO. SHE THOUGHT SHE'D FINALLY FOUND "THE ONE" UNTIL SHE CAME HOME TO FIND ANOTHER WOMAN IN HER HOUSE. FEELING BETRAYED AND ALONE SHE TURNED TO THE ONE PERSON WHO'D ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR HER, HER CHILDHOOD FRIEND DAVID. BUT AS CASSIDY BEGIN TO SPEND MORE TIME WTH HIM, SHE REALIZED THAT, FOR DAVID, THE LINE BETWEEN LOVERS AND FRIENDS HAD BLURRED. IN THE END, HER HEART IS TORN BETWEEN WANTING TO LOVE HER BEST FRIEND AND THE FEAR THAT SHE WOULD NEVER REALLY BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM.
