Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1)Shattered by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Having read and loved the Prestian series by this author I couldn’t wait to get started on Shattered which is the first book in the Torzial Affair series and what a start to the series it was! I was hooked from the very first page until the last! The story was excellently written, there are some tougher parts to read however the author write about them carefully and respectfully. I really do absolutely love everything that I have read by this author.
The main characters Jenny and Brian were captivating to read about and having met them in the previous story I was really excited to see how their story would progress! Their story had it emotional parts but the connection that they had was amazing. Brian might be a controlling dominant but there was another side to him and he wanted to help Jenny overcome her demons.
I am very excited to read the next book in the series, Bound, to see where Jenny and Brian’s relationship goes!

Shattered by Via Mari a five-star read that will shatter you. This is the first novel in the Torzial affair series, and it shows promise of a great series to come. This is filled with drama and suspense, with some light humour and some other stuff thrown in for good measure. This author has a great way of bringing the characters to life and showing you their multi-faceted sides, showing us how the deal with new experiences in such a great way that you will feel liken your experiencing them at the same times. Jenny and Brian are great characters and they will surprise you with their strength. Their story is sublime and one that you will enjoy, once you read this one, you won’t be long until you get number two.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m not going to lie, I couldn’t get this book open fast enough as soon as it hit my kindle. I loved the Prestian Series from Via Mari, so knowing that this was a spin-off with characters that I had already grown to love I was dying to see what Ms. Mari had in store for them. Boy oh boy she did not disappoint, especially given my high expectations. I have a feeling that the Torzial Affair books will be something I am going to adore. I am going to note that it would probably super beneficial to read the Prestian series before you dive into this one. There is just something special about having the full story and knowing these characters lives.

In Torizal Affair we find out all about Jenny, Kate’s best friend. I love Jenny, no lie probably more than I thought I loved Kate. She is one strong and amazing gal and reading her story, while at times difficult and possibly triggering for some, was truly one of my favorite reading times this year so far. I love how you can see Via Mari’s growth as a writer and truly with the grace she wrote Jenny’s story it is evident once again that she has some pretty amazing author skills. You won’t get much as far as spoilers of more details from me, I won’t spoil the goods for you, but take my word for it that this book and the Prestian series is one that you don’t want to miss.

Jenny Torzial is highly successful in her professional life as the owner of a consulting company on the verge of national recognition. Her spirited façade belies the emotional scars gouged by the man she thought would someday be her husband.

Brian Carrington, the cocky, extremely reactive heir to the Carrington Steel empire, has concluded that women only want one thing from him – his money and the prestige of his last name. Investing no emotional energy in one-night stands, he has developed the ultimate guard for his wealth, status, and heart.

What will happen when their worlds collide into a dominant and submissive power exchange? Can they overcome the demons of her past as he is thrust into the role of protector?

~ AMAZON ~

Via Mari lives in the Midwest with her husband and their loveable fur baby. As a child who was raised in both the United States and the United Kingdom, she spent countless hours traveling and developed a passion for the written word at a young age.

She is an avid reader of romance. In fact, you can still find her curled up in an overstuffed chair, especially during winter when the wood fire is crackling and popping, reading a page-turning novel until the early hours of the morning.

As she began researching and writing love scenes for her own series, it became apparent there seemed to be a cultural divide between what people believed was normal sexual behavior, or vanilla, and that which people considered BDSM. She enjoys creating characters and scenes that allow the reader to safely explore what they would and would not be willing to try.

CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3)CLAIMED by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claimed
The Torzial Affair
Book 3
By Via Mari
☆☆☆☆☆
Romance with a twist of suspense. The suspense is the main character of this full length novel. The romance is just the rollercoaster this story supplies.

This continued story of Jenny and Brian had me on page one. The story continues to prove Jenny innocent of a horrible crime, she did not commit. Brian also continues the hot steamy romance, just to keep Jenny from thinking too much. As she is fighting for her life, as well as her friends. But the mafia wants what they want and will stop at nothing to get it.
This is book 3 in this series. It is very important you read the series in order. Or the whole story can’t rock your read. This book is just another Via Mari story. Her writing skills and storytelling are outstanding. I love her characters in the Torzial series. I also love that she has so many avenues she takes her readers too. Not a dull moment in this story. I can’t wait to see where her next series takes me. Keep them coming Via Mari. I can’t wait to read more.

CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3)CLAIMED by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claimed is book three in the Torzial Affair series by Via Mari. It is the stunning conclusion of Brian and Jenny’s emotional, suspenseful and thrilling journey. It has been a long and arduous journey, fraught with danger, tension, intrigue and love. Their love was hard fought and questioned by them many times throughout this saga.  I was not convinced their tale would end happily. I was praying they got their HEA together. They deserved their happy ending, and I fought along side of them right until the end. This author gives a descriptive and deeply emotional description of a love story. I felt frustrated with both characters at times, venting to no-one, and hoping that they could get it together.  My heart was full with mixed feelings. I wanted to read like it was my last book, but at the same time desperately tried to slow down to draw out the bittersweet intensity that followed this couple everywhere. The secondary characters were amazing and the story continued effortlessly along, blending the new with the old. It was incredible to read the Torzial Affair books, and it was an experience I will never forget and will cherish always. 5 stars.

CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3)CLAIMED by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 3 of a trilogy and it picks up where book 2 left off. This SHOULD NOT be read as a stand-alone.

CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3) brings the trilogy together. It is not, however, immediately tied in a nice pretty bow. There is a lot still going on which kept me frantically turning the pages to get to the very end. For a variety of reasons, I was unable to read this series back to back and typically it would take me a few minutes to acclimate back to the characters in the book. NOT A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRILOGY. The books are one epic tale and from the very first page, I was in love with this series.

The Torzial Affair is a spin off of the Prestian Series and I am usually a bigger fan of the OG, but not in this case. The writing is layered and complex. Scenes move the story along and are written very visually. Threads from the previous books/series are woven together in a tapestry so full and rich, that it’s difficult to put these characters down.

I absolutely recommend this series. As I have said in each review, do NOT short change yourself and read out of order.

I love this series, actually I loved reading The Prestian Series then moving into this series, and I do recommend that, and I might have loved this one just a bit more if that is even possible.

I’m so sorry this is over, this could be my favorite book in all 6 and I think it is because the 4 people that star in all of them are right back in the spotlight and how this was done was simply amazing. This story was full of everything I love in my books, I went through every feeling and emotion while reading and can not wait to reread this whole 2 series collection.

Not going to go into any details because it could ruin something for someone that hasnt read any of them yet, just take my advice and read them all, you won’t be sorry and you will find yourself having another author that joins your list of favorites and an automatic one click.

Phenomenal and simple perfection!!

By: Via Mari
5 out of 5 stars

The story CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3) by Via Mari is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It is a story that hooks you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go until you have read the final page. It is a story that is suspenseful, romantic, and steamy. I have grown to care about the characters of Brian and Jenny since I was first introduced to them. They are two people who deserve happiness and I couldn’t help but root for them to find it. The story finds Brian doing everything in his power to prove Jenny innocent of a crime she didn’t commit. Will his power and wealth also be enough to keep her safe from the mob who want her silenced? Will he be able to protect her? Jenny and Brian’s relationship is steamy and you can feel the passion/desire that they feel for each other. As these two find their way in their relationship the trust between them only grows. There is also plenty of dirty talking, teasing, and bantering going on between them. What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. This story has some twists and turns to it that I didn’t see coming. There were times I was turning pages to find out what would happen next. I also enjoyed reading about the secondary characters who play their part in the story. Most of them have been brought forward from the previous books. There are characters that are like family to Jenny and Brian and I loved when they all banter and interact with each other. The author has done a wonderful job in developing both the storyline and characters. This is a book and series that I would highly recommend reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claimed (The Torzial Affair Book 3) by Via Mari is explosive and unfortunately the end of the series. This amazing series just gets better and better. The web of pain and betrayal, lies and deceit is a cleverly woven together plot that Via has masterfully put together. As with the others in the series the storyline is a brilliant complex, multifaceted and multidimensional which has the pages turning and the story ending before I was ready. The journey with these amazing characters has been one hell of a ride. I felt every emotion possible and was on the edge of my seat the whole way.   Jenny is fighting for her freedom. A precious freedom that could all be gone in a fraction of a second. Her life and her experiences will never be the same but it is all for nothing if the one person who counts doesn’t know truth from lies. The one person who knows how to take the pain away. The man she loves.

Brian will stop at nothing and no expense is spared to fight for the one thing he loves most in this world. Yes it is love and who would have thought that. But with so much conflicting information how much of it is truth and how much is lies.

I am sorry to see the series end but I can’t wait to see what comes next from Via.

This had me an emotional mess..I hit all the feels in this one and the biggest was anger. So much going on, and just when I thought I had something figured out nope this author gave me whiplash.

I’ve read the first series and moved into this one and so far I can almost say I love this one even more and that is saying a lot because The Prestian series was completely awesome and if you don’t read this from there you will be missing out on so so much!

I’m not going into any detail, I don’t want to ruin anything for other readers but take my advice and read these books. Via Mari has moved to my favorite authors list like a speeding bullet and all I can say is bring on the next book. I can not wait!

Brian Carrington has done everything in his power to prove Jenny Torzial, the love of his life, is innocent of a crime she did not commit, but will she pay the ultimate price for that freedom?

She knows too much, she has seen more than the mob can allow, and they will stop at nothing to ensure her silence.

Will Brian’s wealth and power be enough to stop them? Will the total dominance and submission he craves be more than she is ready for and push Jenny away, or capture her for a lifetime?

Brian Carrington has made it his priority to keep Jenny Torzial safe. That proves to be a full time job with the mafia an ever present danger and the legal system determined to convict Jenny for the murder of her ex boyfriend. While Brian stays busy fighting the external forces that threaten her, Jenny continues to battle her internal demons. Allowing Brian to dominate Jenny in the bedroom is exactly what Jenny had always wanted, but she maintained a level of control over her life outside of the bedroom. Can Brian continue to keep Jenny safe without Jenny feeling like she’s lost control of every aspect of her life? Will Jenny ever get to live her life without looking over her shoulder and wondering what, or who, will come for her next?
Via Mari does not disappoint with book 2 in her series!

Bound (The Torzial Affair Book 2) by Via Mari is amazing. This incredible series just gets better and better. Via has woven a superb web of betrayal and deceit that has more twists and turns than a road in the mountains. This complex and multifaceted and multidimensional story had me spellbound as I turned page after page not knowing where the story would take me. My heart was often in my throat as I followed along with these wonderful characters that have found their way into my heart and soul. It is one sexy, steamy and erotic read that will leave you in need of a cold shower.

Jenny is caught up in something she has no idea about but the repercussions are a matter of life and death, not only to herself but all those around her and the evidence just seems to pile up and up. There is only one person she can trust but it seems even that may be displaced.

Brian is trying to do everything he can to help the woman who has come to mean so much to him. It seems that for every step forward they end up taking several back. Who is behind this trouble and who can he trust? Will he walk away from the one who needs him the most when he is confronted evidence that implicate the worst?

Via is an author not to be missed. I am so excited to read the next book in this brilliant series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1) by Via Mari is a spinoff from the Prestian series which I enjoyed but this first book in the series is amazing. I suggest you start with the Prestian series before starting this series as the amazing characters and stories are intertwined. Via has excelled herself in this book. It was not what I expected, no, it was so much more. I loved every single minute of it and I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting. I was captivated, enthralled and so engrossed that by the time I had finished, I needed more. This story is an emotional rollercoaster ride of feelings that don’t let up. There were tears and tantrums, and laughter and that was just me.

Jenny’s life has been turned upside down. She has been left battered and shattered to her very soul. To the core of her being, her essence. Never in her life would she have thought that someone she loved would put her through the hell that she went through. It has left her wondering just who she is now and if she will ever be the same again.

Brian is a hot, sexy, Alpha male and a one and done man. He never lets anyone close. He never knows who wants him for him or for what he has. But he wants her. Just one night. Why is she getting under his skin? He knows something has happened but doesn’t know what. Why does he feel the need to protect her?

I can’t wait to read more from Via as she has now become one of my favourite authors.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Five words I would use to describe this book:

Layered
Complex
Sexy
Intriguing
Grandiose

SHATTERED is a spinoff of The Prestian Series and I enjoyed the continuing threads from the first series. I’m not sure I would have been as understanding of it and the complex world surrounding the main characters if I hadn’t read the first series.

The story is written in such a way that I found myself questioning what was going on. I started to side with outsiders for a few minutes because they made a great case (I know this doesn’t make sense, but you will understand it when you read the book). THAT IS THE SIGN OF A GOOD STORY… My wavering faith in the “truth” kept me turning the pages.

There are a lot of characters in this story, both main and secondary, and at times I had to remember who was who and who worked for which company. There is a briskness about the story that made it feel like it was constantly in motion. The story moved along in a way that the end always seemed just around the next corner. This story actually goes to unexpected places.

I look forward to reading the next story in this trilogy.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shattered is the first book in the Torzial Affair series. It ends in a cliffhanger.

While this is the first book in this particular series, not having read the previous series (Prestian series), I felt like something was missing. The author does a good job of working in elements from events I assume are present in the previous series, so it isn’t like you can’t pick up what is going on; I just feel like it would have a more complete feel if I had more of a connection to the supporting characters. For anyone new to this author, I definitely suggest reading the other series first.

Shattered contains sensitive material that may trigger some readers. The author does have a preface in the book regarding this, which is very thoughtful. I liked that the author did not downplay the affects of Jenny’s hardship experience on her mental health.

This book was a quick read for me and overall was a good escape from reality for a bit.

Shattered is book one in the Torzial Affair by Via Mari. It feels like a lifetime since I have read a story by this author. It was well and truly worth the wait. It is like coming home to your favourite pair of slippers, warm, inviting, providing a comfort like no other. The story is not all warm and lighthearted. It is intense, dangerous, passionate and exciting.

Jenny has not had an easy run in life, lately. Meeting Brian was the right thing, just at the wrong time. She bares emotional scars that prevent her from truly letting go, which causes a hold to be put on her life and the happiness that goes with meeting your soulmate. Brian is being patient with her, which goes against everything that makes him the stubborn, dominant and beautiful male specimen that he is. They clash, and those battles are quite the spectacle. Brilliant minds going head to head is explosive. They certainly deliver non stop entertainment, passion and attitude. Entertainment overflowing with drama, danger and  decadence. Shattered was an edge of your seat story, that excited and delighted. All brilliantly set out by a gifted and dedicated author. 5 stars.

Shattered: The Torzial Affair Book 1 by: Via Mari- Review by Jessica Ranslow

Brian Carrington knows who Jenny Torzial is, but when he meets her in person for the first time, he is confident that the night will end with Jenny in his arms and under his control. Brian’s irresistible good looks and reputation for being the heir to the Carrington Steel empire are quickly thwarted by Jenny. Unlike the other women in Brian’s life, he can not get Jenny out of his mind. When he attends an event with the hopes of seeing Jenny again, he walks in on Jenny coming face-to-face with her past and Brian is thrust into the role of protector. It is under Brian’s care that Jenny begins to heal from the demons of her past, and begins to explore her true desires. Via Mari alternates chapters between the two main characters in this face paced story of dominance and submission, the dangers of high profile society, and giving the ultimate level of trust in another person.

Via Mari had me from the first chapter and left me craving more!

This was my first book by this author, but it won’t be my last, I look forward to continuing this series, as well as, reading the Prestian series as some of the characters from that series make appearances in this one and their story had me really intrigued.

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next romance read!

She won me over with The Prestian Series, and now the first book of Torzial already has me totally hooked. I couldn’t wait for Jenny’s story and I’m so glad she gets not only 1 book but her own series, and I love that Kate and Chase are still right there in the mix.

I love the way this author tells a story, and how easy her books are to read and fall for. There’s always a lot going on and for me that’s always a plus if its easy to keep up with and follow, which always is with this author.

Jennys had some bad things happen to her and by someone she truly trusted and when she finds herself unable to turn away from Brian whose lifestyle should totally scare her away she finds herself battling demons from her past that are still in her life and trying to learn to trust again.

I can not wait to jump into the next part of Jenny and Brian’s story…this is already proving to be another series I get hooked on and totally immersed in. You could start right here with Jenny’s story I suppose, but my extremely high recommendation is to read The Prestian Series first, this is where you will meet Jenny and also get Katarina and Chase’s story.

Loved it!!

The Torzial Affair Book 2: Bound written by Via Mari. I was pretty excited for this book after reading book one, Shattered. I love reading Jenny’s story even though it’s sad, disturbing at times and super stressful with everything she’s been through and going through it makes you wonder if her life is ever going to get better and stay positive for more than a few weeks at a time. Ty has done a lot of damage to her life as a whole and even from the grave his actions are a direct threat to her and Torzial. You learn a lot about Matt in this story where he’s normally more of a secondary character he becomes more present and out of the shadows. I’m even more excited to see how book three (Claimed) goes and if Jenny ever gets her chance at happily ever after.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another spellbinding page turner from Via Mari! This book picks up right where the first ended. I was captivated immediately and couldn’t walk away before I finished reading the entire book. The characters are complex and still relatable. Mari has a unique voice and uses her talents to weave such a strong story that the reader is immediately transported into the story. Wholeheartedly recommended. Simply couldn’t put it down!

Bound (The Torzial Affair Book 2)
By: Via Mari
5 out of 5 stars

The story Bound (The Torzial Affair Book 2) by Via Mari is the next amazing book in a series that I would call romantic, steamy, and intense. I would recommend reading this series in order as situations from the first book to the second continue and characters overlap. It makes for a better understanding of what is going on. This story has Jenny and Brian’s romance and exploration of each other progressing. While there is a connection and chemistry that is felt, there are also times when conclusions are jumped to and doubts about trust occur. They are also having to deal with those who want to convict Jenny of the murder of her ex and other forces that are dangerous. Jenny is such a feisty and intelligent woman. She does, however, feel that her life is being turned upside down and spinning out of control. Brian is determined to protect Jenny. He is also dealing with strong emotions and feelings that include jealousy. New threats quickly appear and seem to never end. Read this book to find what happens. This story does have plenty of steamy scenes and dirty talking. There are times when situations arise that I wondered how much this couple will have to go through. There are times of danger and threats that have me wondering what is going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the part that the additional characters play in the story. Many of them are familiar from the first book and are ones that Jenny and Brian can trust. Others have their own agenda and plans. Can they be stopped? Don’t miss out on the next exciting and steamy book in a series that I highly recommend reading. I can’t wait to read the next story.

Jenny Torzial and Brian Carrington’s steamy romance and erotic exploration continue as the couple finds themselves challenged by menacing external forces of the mafia and a legal system hell-bent on convicting Jenny for the brutal murder of her ex.

Jenny’s outward display of strength is in direct contrast to her inner turmoil, and the real-life struggles she is forced to face. Is she strong enough to deal with not knowing when and where the next threat in what seems a never-ending string will come? Will the uncertainty of who to trust lead to an early death or a lifetime of incarceration?

Is it too much for a man who struggles with commitment? Can Brian truly protect her? Will Jenny be able to fully submit to Brian’s dominance, allowing him to take the reins in life as well as the bedroom?

~ AMAZON ~

Via Mari lives in the Midwest with her husband and their loveable fur baby. As a child who was raised in both the United States and the United Kingdom, she spent countless hours traveling and developed a passion for the written word at a young age.

She is an avid reader of romance. In fact, you can still find her curled up in an overstuffed chair, especially during winter when the wood fire is crackling and popping, reading a page-turning novel until the early hours of the morning.

As she began researching and writing love scenes for her own series, it became apparent there seemed to be a cultural divide between what people believed was normal sexual behavior, or vanilla, and that which people considered BDSM. She enjoys creating characters and scenes that allow the reader to safely explore what they would and would not be willing to try.

Shattered by Via Mari – Review by Krystal Gaston

Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1)Shattered by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Torzial Affair Book 1: Shattered by Via Mari. If you read the Prestian Series about Chase and Katarina then you will remember Jenny, Kat’s best friend and boss at Torzial. You read about some bad stuff happening to Jenny. Shattered is Jenny’s story, it tells you about the bad stuff that happened between Jenny and Ty, and there is a warning in the beginning of the book. However it’s a great story and I loved reading about how strong, independent and willing Jenny is. Brian is a great character also, you don’t read too much about him in the Prestian Series but he is there. He is also more present along with a few more characters making repeat appearances. I am eager to start book two, Bound.

Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1)
By: Via Mari
5 out of 5 stars

The story Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1) by Via Mari is a book that caught my interest from the beginning and kept me glued to the pages until the end. One of the reasons I enjoyed the story so much is the characters of Jenny Torzial and Brian Carrington. Jenny is a woman who owns a consulting firm. She is successful and dedicated to the business. However, behind the scenes, she is dealing with emotional scars. Then she meets Brian Carrington. Brian is a man that doesn’t do relationships. He has learned that woman only want him for what they can get from him. Then he meets Jenny. These two have an attraction to each other. She is always in his thoughts. He has become her protector. Will he become more? What does the future hold for Jenny and Brian? Read this book to find out. From the highs to the lows this story had my emotions going up and down with the characters. I felt heartbroken and sometimes angry with what Jenny has been through. She is a character that I grew to care about and wanted her to be happy. There are steamy scenes included in this book as well as bantering back and forth between Jenny and Brian. The book has a smooth flow to it and wonderful character development. This is a wonderful first story in a series and I look forward to reading the next one.
