Never Tear Us Apart is the first book in the adult contemporary romance Never series by Monica Murphy. I love Monica Murphy's books, and Never Tear Us Apart was no exception, though it was quite a bit darker than I was expecting. It wasn't my favorite book I have read of hers, but I did still enjoy it. 

In Never Tear Us Apart we meet our main characters Katie and Ethan. The book is told  in alternating past and present chapters and it also it switches between the two main characters. Sometimes this is a very powerful tool but I will admit that a couple of times I was a little confused as to where things fit on the overall timeline. Never Tear Us Apart does deal with some difficult topics, such as abuse, so be warned about that in case it is a trigger for you, but Monica Murphy does a great job handling these dark and tough topics with care. 

Overall, I enjoyed this romance. I don't want to spoil the plot, so I won't go into specifics, but this story surprised me in many ways. I liked it, but go into it prepared that it is a heavier book that I was used to from this author.

I've enjoyed Monica Murphy's books in the past. This one was just ok for me. It didn't love it, though I do think I'll read the next one.
