I'm not even sure I liked it. But to explain myself, I have to include major spoilers, so read on at your own discretion...Before everyone starts throwing things, let me be clear. I love love love a good love triangle. I love a bad boy. I love cursing and bad language and dirty sex. I love an angst-ridden emotional roller coaster. I love darkness and pain. I love my heart to break. So before you think I read a book outside of my genre of choice and then berated the crap out of it, let me be clear: this was SO right up my ally. It just... wasn't it for me...First off, I hated Cathy. And when you hate your main character, when you hate the sound of her voice and her inner monologue, I'm not sure where you can go from there. From the age of 18, at that party, where Ben was nothing but a stand-up respectful, honorable guy and wanted to wait to have sex with Cathy in a romantic, respectable way, and Cathy pitched a tantrum, dressed and danced like a skank with Ben's friend who she'd never met, just to try to make Ben jealous... Honestly... I can not be Team Cathy after that juvenile display of deplorable behavior. 22 year old, law school bound Ben should have dropped Cathy like a hot potato right then and there. But he didn't.And maybe that whole episode was supposed to allude to how Cathy would handle stress later in life and act out on it instead of dealing with it head on... and maybe it was supposed to show how Ben would love her through it despite her flaws... but it dropped Cathy down on my respect meter significantly.And speaking of Ben... I loved Ben. Ben was the only ray of light in this whole dark mess. But when Ben finally, after the whole big fight, and after Cathy's tantrum, decided after all that happened to do Cathy doggy style on a dresser in the upstairs bedroom of a rowdy party... well that did not seem like consistent behavior with the Ben I had come to know and love. This is not something Ben would do. Not his first time with Cathy, not just a day before declaring his love for her... he'd save the doggy for later. Just sayin... So with that said, I proceeded to read while subconsciously looking for holes in the story.Arsen. Now, I will repeat. I love a bad boy. I will, without fail, always always always root for the bad boy in any given situation. Arsen is now the exception to my rule. Arsen is an idiot and a jerk. I get that he's supposed to be younger than Cathy, early to mid-20s. I get that he is a sexy, wealthy playboy. So do you mean to tell me that no where in that privileged upbringing, no one taught him some tact and etiquette? You don't drop the f-bomb in front of complete strangers. You don't talk about who else you hooked up with and why and when and how in front of a woman that you are friends with but secretly pining after. I don't know if the author felt that the overuse of the f-bomb was necessary to convey Arsen's masculinity, or his womanizing personality... but it was just that: overused. The overuse made me roll my eyes and it all went from being sexy dialogue to cheesy, gouge out my eyeballs with a fork annoying.Maybe it's my fault that I bought into all the hype on goodreads and facebook about how intensely emotional this book was. But it took way too long to develop, in my opinion. Things didn't pick up until after the 40%ish mark. If I was one of those readers (which I am not!) that abandons a book out of boredom, I would have.But alas, things did pick up. The drama increased and my hate for Cathy multiplied exponentially. Now, don't get me wrong, I sympathized with her loss and her pain. But to put any of the blame on Ben for why the marriage was crumbling was just wrong. He did what any husband in that situation would have done, he stayed strong despite his own pain, he tried to remain positive and he tried to convince Cathy to do the same. But Cathy, once again, decides that the sun and moon rise and fall around her, and she does whatever she wants, despite who she hurts. Now, everyone and their mother hated Kiera because of how wishy washy she was between Kellan and Denny. Cathy knocks wishy washy out of the ball park. I understand the whole loving two guys synopsis. But the whole "I love Ben so much" (blink) "I love Arsen so much" (turn page) "I love Ben"... I mean, really. Atleast mull that over a bit. It was LITERALLY, as soon as whoever she was with stopped touching her for 2 seconds, she was madly in love with the other guy. Yet she showed no remorse EVER. Atleast Keira felt badly about what she did to Denny.This chick needed more therapy than Crystle can offer up, she needs to be committed. And calling Amy for advice and then arguing with her because she didn't like what she heard... the selfishness of this chick knows no bounds. Get over yourself. I started to almost think that maybe she couldn't have a child because she wasn't selfless enough to care for one. She wanted a baby more than she wanted anything... including a good man. I just can't find it in myself to like her or want good things for her.My favorite part of the book... the part of the book that pulled me in, and the only part of the book that I had any real emotional connection with, was Ben's emotional breakdown upon Cathy's final admittance. That was heartbreaking and I cried... like real, actual tears. He would have, undoubtedly, forgiven Cathy on the spot if she had shown even an ounce of remorse. But of course she did not.And to top off my already tucked off cake, Cathy doesn't even bother to figure out who fathered that kid?? I mean, come ON! Arsen... ok, fine. He said he didn't want to be a father. We know it was a lie, but if Cathy was basing her actions on what she knew, then Arsen wouldn't have been involved with her or the kid anyway, so atleast you have the truth. But to not find out the truth for Ben's sake? That guy wanted a child and a family just as badly as Cathy did. He suffered those losses just like he did. And she didn't tell him?? That's probably more dispicable than the affair.I was happy with the ending. I was glad that she and Ben ended up together, because ultimately that is the ending I hoped for. But then the epilogue came along and ruined that. I was kinda pissed that Arsen is made out to be some kind of hero at the end, suddenly putting everyone else's happiness before his own. Really, Arsen? Where was your sense of selflessness when you told Cathy to get on her knees in your bedroom. Give me a break. And the fact that Nadia is his makes me even more mad. But whatever... it is what it is...Maybe buying into the hype set my expectations too high. Maybe I'm just a critical reader and hard to please. I don't know why I didn't love this book. I do know that my love or hate of a book is based on how I feel while reading it. I don't have to love the outcome of a book to love the story. I actually live for how many painful tugs my heart feels while reading a book. I look for turmoil and pain and heartbreak. And I know how I was supposed to feel while I read Arsen... I was supposed to feel emotionally torn for Cathy, I was supposed to feel how difficult this life-altering decision is for her to make, how hard it is to choose one love or another. But that's not what I felt. I felt anger toward her for being so selfish and putting herself in this situation to begin with. I felt utter disdain for this chick who would go hook up with her boyfriend in a closet at a party while her husband practically begged her not to. I could not sympathize with the main character, and I think that obviously affected how I read the entire story.Arsen is the fire and Ben is the rain... and Cathy should be shackled in a basement somewhere and not allowed to experience the weather.
26 of 30 people found the following review helpful. Incendiary! By Ana Rita WARNING: this book contains cheating and graphic sexual contentNow that you've been warned, let me start by saying that 'Arsen' by Mia Asher is not your typical NA/romance, in this broken love story we meet: Cathy, the anti-heroine that you will love to hate and charmer, gentleman, caring, supportive, Ben - her 'perfect' husband.' They met when they were in college and have been together for eleven years. When we first meet Ben and Cathy they are dealing with an extremely difficult situation, Cathy is really vulnerable, doubting herself and losing hope. That situation leads her to feel emotionally detached from Ben and their marriage.Arsen' is told almost entirely from Cathy's point of view and it switches back and forth from past to present. In those 'flashback chapters', we follow some important moments in Ben and Cathy's relationship.As a reader, I'm not a fan of instant gratification, but in this case I struggled a little with the slow pace in the first half of the book, but I also understand the author's option and its importance to the story development. That said, once you hit the 50% mark it's really difficult to put the book down.So, in the meantime, through her job, Cathy meets Arsen,the tormented rich playboy.They are instantly attracted to each other, he's a few years younger than Cathy and she is captivated by his carefree attitude. Arsen is cocky and shameless and pretty straightforward about his intentions towards Cathy and although he never stops teasing her, once he discovers she's married, he steps back. Despite the intense sexual tension between them, eventually they become 'friends'.I loved Arsen and his filthy mouth and I 'swooned' everytime he called Cathy - 'Dimples'."There's a twinkle in his eyes as he lowers is smiling mouth to whisper in my ear, "Chill, Dimples. I'm just teasing you..."Without giving too much away, there is an important development that renews Cathy's hope in her marriage with Ben, but Arsen remains in the back of her mind and eventually there's a turning point and some irreversible decisions are made...Is it wrong?Is it Hot?"People say that if you play with fire, you'll get burned. Well, when it comes to Arsen, I not only want to get burned, I want to be incinerated"This is not an easy story to read, it's really intense, heartbreaking, angsty, controversial - it evokes extreme and conflicting emotions in the reader. Cathy is one of the reasons for that - like I've said before she's an anti-heroine - deeply flawed, she's selfish,immature ... I think I've never hated a female character with this intensity and that's one of things I loved in this book because it presents a challenge for the reader.Another element that I really liked was this story's unpredictability. While I was reading, 'Arsen' I had absolutely no idea of what was going to happen and in the end I was really, really surprised.So, my final question for you is this:are you tempted?If the answer 'yes' I only have one advice to give you:Keep calm and read 'Arsen' by Mia Asher*ARC kindly provided by author, Mia Asher, in exchange for an honest review*Full review here: [...]

You want to stop reading it b/c it's getting to you too much. You try. You put it down. You can't. You can't not pick it up and finish it. You must finish this heartbreaking love story. Story of love & pain & loss & heartache & fear & lust & faith & LOVE.Cathy is broken, so broken she truly believes she is a broken shell of a woman and doesn't believe she is enough. She has a history of miscarriages and it just continues to break and destroy her & her marriage. Until Arsen.Until Arsen- she had a happy marriageUntil Arsen- she had BenUntil Arsen- she thought things were perfectUntil ArsenArsen...ARSEN....ugh........I want to like Arsen, I really do. I just don't.... I can't, it's not in me.I didn't want to like him and truly now I can not admit I like him. Yes he is alph and yes he is hot...yes he is 24 years old. At times I called him a whiney littls se* sissy who complained about his daddy and the pot full of money. But as you read Arsen truly grows on you like wild fire. He is there for Cathy at her darkest hour and even though I didn't want it, I prayed it would go another way. Sometimes you need an outsider to come in and let you see the light. Arsen was Cathy & Ben's light. A beautiful heartbreaking light.......The things he says in front of Ben, I...Me...Megan wanted to go in the book and kick his balls; Which btw is exactly what I told Mia!!!!BenBen is perfectBen is wonderfulBen is swoonworthyBen is caringBen is devaststatedI must first show some MAJOR Ben LOVE. He had my heart from the first time he spoke. I am Team Ben all the way. He is a total gentlemen in public but heavens behind closed doors.... He has it going on. He is so swoonworthy and loves Cathy so very much! I want to take him a fix him and rid him of all the heartache that has been placed on him.CathyCathy wants to be a motherCathy wants to be happyCathy wants to be lovedCathy wants to be repairCathy. OMG Cathy!!!!! I want to shake you so you wake up. Ben. YOU HAVE BEN. Srew Arsen..ha yeah got that, right :)There are times I felt sorry for Cathy, I tried to understand where she was coming from. Many times I couldn't stand her and MANY times I hated her. I don't like her choices. I can't stand her for her choices. But they are HER choices. She will now have to live the life she has created.This book had me twisting and churning and squirming in my seat. I was back and forth messaging with Mia and other readers. I felt every emotion. I feel like i've been punched in the gut. I'm hurling over trying to catch my breath. At the end of the book I stated that I was going through the grief process. And it is truly the perfect way to explain my feelings. You have such happy memories of Ben & Cathy's relationship, you are on cloud nine. Then a fire starts...perfectly named Arsen and kills those memories. In which I turned to hate, hate for so many things said and done. Next, Pissed PISSED for things that should have been said, PISSED for things that shouldn't have happened. I stayed pissed for the longest. I am probably still pissed. Sorrow. Sorrow for the closure, for the loss, for the tears, Sorrow for the END.Mia's first book is to die for. If you want to sit back, kick your feet up and read and not feel a thing, well this book is not for you. Arsen will make you FEEL EVERYTHING. The Good. The Bad. The Ugly. It will make you want to scream and yell and want to fix it. You can't. I tried.This is a hard story for anyone b/c it deals with miscarriages and failing marriages and cheating. It was extremely hard for me to process. I knew it was going to be a hard read, I KNEW IT. I braced myself for it. Well I thought I braced for the impact Arsen would give. I was soooo wrong.
