Title: Missing Pieces
Author: Nicola Haken
Purchase: Amazon US | UK | Smashwords | Kobo
*Please note this is an updated version of a story previously published under the title ‘Inevitable’*
Seventeen-year-old Maddie Davis has spent her whole life on the move. With an unstable mother who has a knack for making bad decisions, she’s never stayed in one place long enough to remember its postcode. But this time is different… This time, she has been dragged half way across the world. Arriving in California and being forced to go back to school feels like stepping back in time. She wants to go home…
Until she meets Blaine Elwood – the stepson of an old family friend.
Blaine appears to have it all. To the outside world, quarterback Blaine is rich, confident and has the ‘arrogant bad boy’ image down to a tee. But nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors. Nobody ever can. He has vowed never to let anyone get too close – let anyone discover how weak he is. So when new girl Maddie starts tugging at strings he didn’t know existed in his heart, his only option is to push her away…
Until he realizes how much he needs her.
Together, after being forced into adulthood from an early age, they begin to learn what it feels like to be young - to smile, to laugh... to love. So when shattered secrets and splintered lies start unraveling around them, will the trust they’ve worked so hard to build be irreparably destroyed? Or will they realize they are two pieces of the same broken puzzle?
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Missing Pieces by Nicola Haken is a beautiful book about love and lies and perseverance.
Blaine is the popular jock that everyone likes but no one really ever gets close to.
Maddie has arrived in town, the latest stop on a long list of places her and her mom have lived in. Being from England and suddenly thrust into school in the United States she is treated like an outcast.
This is the second book I've read by author Nicola Haken and it was great, AGAIN! I moved here in high school from England, but, thank goodness, I didn't experience the social ostracism that Maddie seemed to. High school in America for me was probably the least difficult of school times for me. That being said, every where is different and Nicola really sold it. Grab some tissues, and maybe some chocolate too. This book is cram packed with angst and love and heartbreak and you will need it!
Nicola lives in Rochdale, England with her husband and four children (six if you include the dogs!) She is the author of New Adult/Contemporary romance novels Inevitable, Saving Amy and the Take My Hand series. When she is not busy playing with her imaginary book friends (or talking about them with real life friends!) she can usually be found carrying out her ordinary mum/housewife/all round slave duties. Oh, and if the kids ever ask, she moonlights as the Pink Power Ranger while they’re sleeping…
