Emma was beyond glad to escape back to Aspasia and be with Bass again. After a disastrous weekend spent in London—turned into twisted mess after Carter’s persistent, over-bearing and unfaltering dedication to get her back—it seemed that the soccer-stud, Carter Mason was finally standing ground and started to fight for the woman he loves.
Suddenly, Emma found herself in a limbo when Bass started pressing for answers to questions she wasn’t ready to face herself. Little did she know that things were about to shift, testing her limits as she fights her way out of the clustered mess she got herself into.
Bass Cole only wanted a several things from Emma:
Loyalty. Honesty. Trust. Love.
What happens if none of these apply?
Emotions ran deep as revelations started to unfold—piece by piece.
Fear. Doubts. Secrets. Heartaches and the merry-go-round carnival of angst continue.

Oh. My. God. Again, Pamela leaves me screaming ready to throw my Kindle trying to pick my jaw off the floor, and I still can't get enough. I couldn't wait for Blasphemous and when I got it I stopped everything I was doing locked myself away in my room and couldn't put it down.

We begin and Bass and Emma are in the final stages of filming in Greece and they're... happy. But as with every web that Ms. Ann spins that happiness is short lived. When they wrap filming and return home Bass finds a little piece of Carter Mason that Emma has been keeping from him and ALL HELL BEAKS LOOSE! Acting like a complete asshole Bass breaks up with Emma... for good this time....well for 8 MONTHS to be exact.
"I could've given you the world if you'd given me the chance, but that will be your biggest regret, not mine...I'm going to be that man in your life you will never forget. You'll mourn the loss of me. You'll feel it every single day because I'm not coming back to you...Goodbye, Emma."
Emma freaking Anderson I love you! Emma rocked this book and did it with style. After Bass broke her heart she decided that some changes in her life needed to be made and took that time to gather herself up again to embrace her new single life and also to life as a somewhat celebrity. In this time though Carter Mason manages to weasel his way back into Emma's world and guess what he's the freaking good guy. Say what? I never thought I would say this about Carter but he was there, he was sweet, and attentive, and was there for Emma when she needed someone the most.
"Was this man Carter Mason? I think not"
Bass Cole I think I may have almost felt about Bass in this book the way I felt about Carter in Scornfully Yours (Torn # 1) He drove me crazy I wanted to scream at him and tell him that he's acting like a damn fool! So after the break up to give him the benefit of the doubt he doesn't exactly whore it up but eventually enters into another contract relationship with another co-star Russian knockout Nikki Pavlova. Lasting the duration of their filming in Texas Bass conveniently ends his relationship with Nikki but this may be one woman that he may not be able to escape, and she truly may be the one to change Bass Cole's life for good.
"I'm in love with you, Bass. I've always been crazy about you, but now it's so much more"
8 months of being apart Bass and Emma are reunited again for the press release of Blasphemous and my my how the tables have turned. Emma is confident, beautiful, still single and has proved Bass Cole wrong of every vile word he has ever spewed at her. And Bass is jealous. I loved this part of the book. Throughout this whole book I felt like I had just gone through a break up, feeling every emotion that Emma was feeling, being supremely pissed at Bass but nothing was like their reunion and the way Emma carried herself, it was epic and written to absolute perfection. It wasn't easy for her she was still in love with Bass, but she was not going to jump right back into his waiting and wanting arms. Bass deserved every moment, every feeling of despair, every word of truth that Emma said to him. I did feel bad for him because even though I didn't want to I still liked him, but I wanted him to hurt, I wanted him to see what he left behind, and I feel all the pain that Emma felt when he pushed her completely out of his life.
"Hurt you?...You have the audacity to fling accusations ...Hurt you? Seriously, I'm done talking to you. I am done."
"You wish it was"
"Huh!...Do you remember that time in Aspasia...Did you like it when I did everything you wanted?...Memories, Bass. That's what you get for letting me go. Now, go fuck that flat chested bitch because you aren't getting any from me. Goodbye"
And yet again we end with a bang. I couldn't believe it, I still can't believe it. I finished the book on Thursday and haven't read anything since, because this ends in a complete mind fuck. I feel like I waited forever and just when I think yes their going to make it, team Bass and Emma all the way one blasted phone call ruins it all!

My overall thoughts am I upset with the ending heck yes I was not expecting THAT, but that is just one of the reasons I love Pamela Ann's writing. I hate cliffhangers, I despise them and she has left me hanging every single time, but I will never get enough. I have been lucky enough to have had the chance to read the whole Torn series (so far) and a couple of other books written by Ms. Ann but without a doubt Blasphemous is her best piece of work it was phenomenal. I can't even begin to explain to you the emotional roller coaster this series will take you on but it is a ride you do not want to miss. I am terrified and excited as hell for the conclusion of this series. With they way Blasphemous ended I can't even imagine what is going to happen next but I can without question guarantee one thing it's not going to come without any shortage of pure angst and absolute torture.
