My Review:


Picking up the Pieces (Picking up the Pieces, #1)Picking up the Pieces by Jessica Prince
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Picking up the Pieces by Jessica Prince is the first book in her Picking Up the Pieces series. Are you ready fro some ugly cries? you will need to be - this book is chock full of opportunities for an ugly cry. Not that it doesn't have a bunch of laugh out loud moments too though. LOL.

Emerson and Luke are best friends. Luke has a troubled home life and decides to join the Marines. One thing leads to another and they spend one wickedly passionate night together. Luke feels he is unworthy of Emerson and makes one massively huge error in judgement in trying to keep Emerson at a distance.

Fast forward eight years and Luke is back and trying to win Emerson back.

Told in alternating present and past and his and hers views, the artful telling of this story is slowly built for you, piece by broken piece.

Rising from the Ashes (Picking up the Pieces, #2)

People make mistakes when they're young, but how they choose to come back from those mistakes is what matters in the end.

Savannah Morgan found true love at a very early age, but one rash decision — one that she would regret for the rest of her life — was all it took to end her relationship with the love of her life.

For seven years, Jeremy Matthews has accepted being "just friends" with the only woman he's ever loved. Finally deciding that enough is enough, Jeremy relentlessly pursues Savannah until he forces her to see just how right they are for each other.

When Savannah's past mistake is revealed, threatening the future she so desperately wants, the fate of their relationship lies in Jeremy’s hands. Will he be able to forgive Savannah, or is the relationship truly over?


When struggles and obstacles threaten the foundation of Savannah and Jeremy's relationship, will they choose to let each other go, or rise from the ashes of the past to claim their happiness?


About The Author:


Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That's why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy--she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she's also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books--romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it's a passion...there's a difference. Not that she'd expect a boy to undertand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.
