Does having everything you desire make your life perfect? Does having a perfect life mean you’re happy?I had a perfect life once upon a time. It was the life I deemed myself deserving of. I had a wife, a child, a successful business. I was happy, but I was also blind.I didn’t see my faults until it was too late. One moment changed it all. It changed me and cost me everything. Everything I thought … cost me everything. Everything I thought I needed to find happiness disappeared, and nothing else mattered.
All that I need is to get a few of the pieces back. Pieces of my perfect forever are the only thing that can make me whole again.

Oh goodness, this emotional & wonderful journey was a great read!! Tessa & Jackson start out circling each other, interested, but unsure. And then Jackson says, “Enough!” and just goes for it. We get hints of a history between these two, glimpses that this isn’t your ordinary boss/employee relationship.
Their journey is both light and heavy, the pieces falling together easily in some instances but still holding that emotional punch. There were some tears, but overall the feeling I’m left with is one of hope, healing, and love!
Really enjoyed this read & I think the author hinted at Jackson’s best friend getting a story, so I’m looking forward to seeing more of this crew!! : )
Pieces of Forever tugs at your heart strings right from the beginning. Jackson hooked me on the story right from the start. He’s a great character. He has a big heart and is a patience and understanding man. Tessa is also a likely character. Jackson owns ta bar and Tessa works there. There is a connection between the two. You can kind of figure out the story line towards the beginning of the book but that still doesn’t really ruin the story. It’s a great story that had me rooting for Jackson and Tessa.
“This was an emotional story that had me crying and laughing all within the same pages. Jackson had it all, but he took it for granted. But when life give him a second chance he does what he can to grab it for life throws another curveball.
The writing in this book was phenomenal and so well thought out to keep all of my attention throughout. This is a great afternoon read!”
One of the most emotional reads of 2018 for me. Jackson has been watching Tessa from afar. She is a trusted employee and an asset to the bar that he owns. He has been harboring feelings for her ever since she first interviewed for this job. He has kept his feelings hidden quite well as he could not date her as she is an employee. He also holds a deep, dark secret about his past that will cause Tessa to flee him and never look back. Tessa has a secret as well and although she has imagined being with Jackson she senses that he is not interested and she could never cross that employer/employee line as well. When they finally let their guards down, and throw caution to the wind, there seems to be this cloud hanging over them or more precisely a wall separating them from truly opening up to each other. Heather has included a major plot twist that you do not want to miss and once you discover it, will Tessa and Jackson be able find their happily ever after?!

5 Stars from Sammy’s Book Obsession!
Pieces of Forever was a fantastic read! It had me second guessing myself at every turn. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, I found out that maybe I didn’t! I’ll just leave it at that, because I don’t want to chance accidentally giving anything away!
This was my first experience reading anything by author Heather D’Agostino, but it definitely won’t be my last. The writing was great! Good grammar, realistic dialogue, and just overall great!
