Can there be redemption for a man with a tortured soul and a twisted heart?
Harrison:
Hell bent on revenge, anger and hatred taint my soul.
Only rage and vengeance keep me alive. Nothing else matters.
There is no room for love. No room for relationships or a family of my own to distract me.
I’m damaged and beyond redemption.
Until I meet my arch enemy’s sister. She’s off limits, but despite my best intentions, I just can’t get the dark haired beauty out of my mind.
Can Eva tame the beast and make me human again? Can she help me find redemption?
Perhaps HELL is the only place for a man like me.
Eva:
Harrison. Dark. Broody.
Twisted and tortured. Definitely tormented.
A beast?
Maybe he is, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting him. On some deep level we connect—I see past the damaged outer into his very soul. Can I be the one to crack through his hardened shell and thaw his heart to bring out the real man he’s hiding even from himself?
Is there redemption for a man like Harrison Summers?
Or will he drag me straight into hell with him?

Review
Tortured. Conflicted. Damaged. Broken.
These are all perfect descriptors of what Harrison has become after he lost the love of his life and their unborn child at the hand of a group of bikers. Since that day, Harrison has battled his rage and vowed revenge on any biker, classifying them all as dangerous and despicable people who have no redeeming qualities.
Harrison is his own worst enemy because his hardened heart keeps him from moving on and giving his heart to anyone else. The man who prides himself on control and requires full submission from his sexual partners will share his body with them, but he’ll never give them any other part because besides his need for a release, he has no other feelings but pain and anger.
Harrison needs someone to save him from himself and help him to move forward instead of staying in the past, but there aren’t many women strong enough to endure his controlling ways nor his hot/cold demeanor, and regardless of how much Eva loves the way Harrison gets her to submit to his every sexual command, she doesn’t know if Harrison can be saved, or if she even wants to take responsibility for that arduous task after dealing with her jerk of an ex and the damage he did to her.
Can a person so devastatedly broken be fixed?
Can a man who hasn’t cared about anything in such a long time learn to care with the help of the right woman?
Can a couple who has only ever given each other their bodies commit to more?
These are the questions that Jani Kay answers in Tormented, and because they’re complicated issues, Kay takes her time in offering the solutions that her readers want because Harrison will have to seek his own absolution before he can fully give himself to Eva and Eva might not be able to wait as long as Harrison needs.
Harrison and Eva’s story is a dark and volatile journey that takes them both to hell and back in more ways than one. They experience highs and lows throughout their relationship, and they both wrestle with their true feelings for one another and what that means for their future. Harrison needs to get out of his head and realize that his past doesn’t have to define his relationships/feelings in the present and no one else can accomplish that feat except Harrison, and once he does, he’ll be truly free to explore what he feels for Eva, but that’s a difficult step for him – one he might not be ready or able to take.

Excerpt
Harrison had given me everything I craved. The pain, the pleasure, the torture and the release. I hadn’t come that hard in a long time. He cut me loose and massaged my wrists and ankles one by one. I was hungry and exhausted, and also deeply satisfied.
“You surprise me, Eva.”
“I do?”
“Yeah. Contrary to popular belief, it takes a very strong woman to submit to a man. Giving up control shows your courage and fearlessness. And trust.” He hesitated for a moment. “Do you trust me, Eva?”
I blew out a long breath as I thought about his question. “Yeah, I do. I don’t know exactly why, but I trust you implicitly.”
His eyes crinkled at the sides when he smiled. “Good. I’m glad.”
“Except—” I paused for effect, narrowing my eyes at him.
“Yeah?”
“Except when you undress me. That was an expensive shirt you ripped to pieces. It takes a lot of money to look that casual.”
“I’ll replace it. And any past and future underwear or item of clothing I destroy in my haste to get inside you.” He met my gaze and held it.
Heat spread through my body at his words. It was a promise, not a threat. I loved that he was that greedy for me.
