They say everyone has either an addiction, obsession, or weakness in this world. Something that can penetrate you down to the core and influence you in a way nothing else can. I have all three. One happens to be her. Kit Bishop is in my veins.But unfortunately for me, she’s the drug I’ll never be able to indulge in and the high I can’t chase. Because I’m a liar. A thief. And I’ve destroyed … liar.
A thief.
And I’ve destroyed everything that’s ever been mine.
Author Note: This is a three-book series previously titled: Complicated Parts, book 1, 2, and 3.

Thanks for writing this unbelievably good book! You’ve made a life-long fan! I can’t wait to read all of your books.
This is the beginning of Kit and Preston’s story. It’s crazy, hot and action packed! I loved it! I can’t wait to read book two!
Wow! This was very exciting and anticipated. I love CP1, it’s one of my best read of 2k18.
Ashley has done it again. She has taken her words and put them in this amazing book, to start a new series.
“Things are going to get even more…complicated.”
Complicated Parts 1 is about Preston and Kit, and their acquaintance of each other. I love how this book starts, it gives the insight on how things happen between these two in the past. How they delt with each other and the situations, that fell upon them. Preston is the biggest arrogant person in the world. While he thinks of nothing but himself and his way of living, he never thought of the pink haired girl that will give him the fight of his life. Kit is the reason why this story has the spunk and the feistiness that will have readers cheering. CP1 is gold and can’t wait till part 2.
I could not put this book down! I loved this story! Ashley Jade is an amazing writer.
This is part 1 of the Complicated Parts Duet and I’m so happy there is going to be more.
This is definitely not your typical romance and things definitely get complicated. I love both Kit and Preston. They are both beautifully broken and flawed. Their connection was intense and there is so much angst in their love/hate relationship.
I don’t want to spoil anything but I would definitely recommend this book. I would also recommend reading the Complicated Hearts Duet for a better understanding of both characters.
Take a chance and read something epically unique and unconventional. I have no more words. You won’t be disappointed.
This book is awesome. It’s not what you would expect but I loved every bit of it. The drama is so good I couldn’t put this book down. Their is a lot of real situations and I’m going to die waiting for part 2.
Ashley Jade sure knows how to give you all the feels, and this book is another example of just that.
Complicated Parts?!!? More like these two parts make one hell of a complicated whole. In the Complicated Hearts duet I loved the smalll bits that I got of Preston and Kit, and when I heard they were getting their own book I was over the moon. Preston is more than the selfish jerk you see on the surface. Preston is a ball of complicated emotions wrapped in a candy coated a$&hole shell. Kit on the other hand wears her heart on her sleeve and is constantly in emotional turmoil and being hurt by others. If these two don’t make for one crazy rollercoaster ride of epic proportions then I don’t know who does. I feel like the CH duest only gave readers a 5th of their story and now it’s time for them to shine. I don’t want to give away any spoilers so I’ll just say this…you think you know Preston and Kit but you have no idea. This is just the first part of their story, book 2 will be out soon, and I am waiting with baited breath to see where their story goes next. This is a slow burn romance that is sure to cause one blazing inferno that will burn your heart to ash.
how does characters in this book find your soul and make it sing? when they are written by Ashley Jade. the slow burn of this book is the best I’ve read . the attitude of the main characters Preston and Kit takes all the rules and smashes them to pieces. Kit needs someone & Preston has never been that someone to anyone so reading the push & pull of these two is awesome. the way that kit Is able to understand people & how they are feeling & need made me just stop & soak in all the feelings it made me feel. I’m grateful to have read this amazing book. can’t wait for part 2.
“Human beings are flawed and complicated and messy.” — Brit Marling
There are no words that are going to describe this book accurately but I am going to do my best because I feel that this book deserves all of the love and more!! So here it goes:
Just buy it, it will knock your socks off and blow your mind!! Just kidding! I’m having trouble finding a word or words to portray each and every piece of this story.
Alright, lets try this again. I cried. I laughed. I sighed. I fell apart. I fell in love. Each one, multiple times. This story is in a classification of it’s own. If you’re looking for boy meets girl, falls in love, gets married, and lives happily ever after, this is not your book. But if you’re looking for a book that pushes each and every boundary, will build you up only to pull the rug out from under you, and can handle the most unconventional characters ever, than this is the book for you!
When I read Complicated Hearts, Kit spoke to me, I wanted, no needed, to know more about her. And although Preston is not very lovable, I knew, felt, he he had a story of his own to tell too. You don’t have to read it to know how this book goes but I recommend checking it out.
Kit is sassy, classy and bit smart assy. She’s bold with a heart of gold that she hides beneath her tough exterior. Preston, he’s probably a little harder to explain. He’s sexy, smooth talker, and when he lets his walls down for .01 seconds, he’s a lover. They both have secrets, they’re both lost, and their story is anything but ordinary. Rules will be broken and hearts will be shattered.
It’s a ten in my book and a must read for sure!!
I met Preston and Kit in the previous duet written by this author and I was wanting more, more, more. This book did not disappoint. The two of them are unique and flawed and this book is probably not going to be what some people are expecting. They couldn’t be more different. They couldn’t be more wrong for each other. But you know how two wrongs don’t make a right? In Kit and Preston’s case two wrongs are not just right but perfect for one another. I loved all the angst in this story. And the humor. And the heartbreak. All the emotions that you can imagine are found within this one of a kind story. I don’t want to spoil anything and my words are inadequate to describe just how phenomenal this book is. I can’t wait to read the second part of this duet and find out what happens with my two new favorite characters.
it was amazing
I met Ashley through Complicated series and my adoration of her books continues. How can I not falling in love? In Complicated Parts, she managed to play with my emotions.. Can someone love or to be loved easily?
Kit Bishop is a young Orphan who tried to pick up herself with low confidence.. between disfunctional family..selfish girlfriend… struggle to pick up every pieces.. Kit remind me of flightless bird.. a lost soul who craved for love and affection..
Preston Holden is an enigma.. an F6 tornado whirlwild .. everything he touch will turn to dust..or poison.. If he still had anything left but hurt and pain…
Kit and Preston were bound together like fire and ice.. the dynamic of their relationship are complicated.. The book was drown with sorrow and pain…
Its not an everlasting love.. its a journey for healing.. Can their pain be redeem? Only time would tell..
I thought to myself.. can the story be anymore lower? The complexity and depth of the story surprised me..this wasnt an easy love.. Their love had given me chills, my thought of not surviving … Reality, I cant love like Kit.. there is a lot to give and i think she gave too much… Every words kills me…
“Love isn’t complicated, people are.” Ain’t that the truth !!!!
A story of Dislluisoned Love , like no other. Complications…pffft, this story has a whole yarnball unravelled and knotted up. It’s a virtual minefield of emotions resulting in cross-entanglements of relationships!!! Who’s in love with who, who’s been betrayed by who?
EVERYBODY !!!!! seriously, Kit Bishop has the worst luck in love. She wears her heart on the sleeve and very naively trusts people. A typical trait of a person with abandonment issues who just wants to be loved
I’m so bad at love I should be court ordered to have the statement tattooed on my forehead in capital letters.
But so does Preston Holden. As they say-unlucky in love, Lucky in Gamble. Preston, though a Hypercalculia,a proverbial “Rain Man”, can’t calculate his losses and steps in the line of fire for those he loves. He is fighting an addiction and his withdrawls take him to a bridge one day.
Stuck between past and present, he must choose to turn back to the chaos in his life or figure out a new way to forge forward. On this tiny bridge he meets a fellow throaway kid-Kit and they both get talking. They’re both betrayed, abandoned and skimming the bottom of the luck bucket. And then they both are stuck in a life and death situation. So it’s but natural they gravitate towards each other. Holding on to each other, Preston catches when she’s about to fall !
“You, Kit Bishop, deserve the real fucking deal. The best kind of love. The constant, unwavering, selfless, for better or worse, never goes away and they’d do anything to see you smile kind of love. And one day, someone is going to come along and give it to you in spades. They’re gonna crash right into you and never let go.”
The story is about both of these unlikliest of couples who keep meeting, repelling, loving, fighting and fate keeps slapping them in their faces and throwing them towards each other.
So much heartbreak and so much anguish just seeps into your marrow, it’s hurtful.
Yup… still feels like someone put my heart in a blender . Then smiled from ear to ear as they pressed liquefy.
Ashley has conjured characters who are burning in a slow burn pit, they are confused and aching and running from their past mistakes.
The story is engaging and very intricate, now can’t wait for book 2!!
4 Angry Girl Stars
I can’t wait to finish this duet sometimes soon.
Ashley Jade did it again. This book surpassed all my expectations and they were really high leveled already.
Preston is not hero material or the good guy a girl dreams of. He is a gambler, a liar, an addict. Kit Bishop craves to find love on her own terms, what in no way would include Preston Holden or any other man…a little fierce strong firecracker that she isn’t aware of.
Worst cards for a royal flush… a connection you wouldn’t set your money on… Are the bets all set already?
Ashley Jade is one of this rare authors I found, started to read and will purchase without second thoughts. Her talent to wrap you in a story and weave words into your cells until they own you is exceptional amazing. With every book she captures my mind and heart more and deeper.
This book is a beautifully written contradiction. While the story is fast paced and took my brain on the run, the deep and gorgeous deloping slow burn emotions let my heart hit the brakes and made my feelings stumble over themselves.
I recommend this book to everyone who is willing to take a chance on a beautiful story and able to read with an open mind and heart.
Ok as I’m sure we’ve all heard the saying “All good things come to those that wait” and boy howdy is this book worth the wait. Granted it’s book 1, but let me just say this much if you do not get this book you will never know just how fantastic it is. You will absolutely fall in love with the main character’s Kit & Preston as thing’s between them start to simmer, because in this book everything has to be done just write as Ashley tell’s their story and believe me you will have all the feel’s up in here. This is something totally different that Ashley has done and I for one couldn’t imagine anybody else telling this amazing story of 2 damaged souls who are totally different they can’t stand each other and yet they are drawn to each other, because there’s just something about the other and thing’s are about to get complicated. I can’t wait to get my hands on book 2.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
This book is definitely complicated but that’s what life is. Complicated. This book “wowed” me several times. The more in-depth you get with Preston and Kit, the more turns ands twists the plot takes. The faster I wanted to be turning the pages on my kindle. I read this book in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to see what Preston & Kit get into in their 2nd book. Read this book!!! You won’t be disappointed!!
This book completely blew me away. I honestly have no words to explain how amazing or how good this book was, everything I’ve come up with doesn’t sound good enough. Preston and Kit’s story is completely different then anything I’ve read. Ashley Jades words always blow me away seriously this author is amazing, one minute I’ll go from an emotional roller coaster ride to laughing to thinking omg did that just happen. I’ve been so excited for this book and devoured it in no time, I didn’t stop reading until I finished. Preston is one of my all time favorite male heroes and Kit is my all time favorite female heroine. They both had a rough time but I know in the end everything will come together like it’s supposed. Can’t wait for more from this author. This is a must read book this year and is now one of my all time favorite books that I’ll recommend to everyone. Another amazing book by the amazing Ashley Jade.
Loved this book. Can not wait till part 2 is out. Preston and Kit The dynamic between them is amazing. So glad they got a book. Ashley Jade is an amazing author and her cliffhangers kill me. Need more!!
As always Ashley smashes yet another wonderful story. I loved it so much I’ve got them all in paperback. The suspense is real..so excited for part 2
I freaking loved this book. Love Kit and Preston. Even though he’s an ass and than later my ovaries are exploding with wanting to have his babies Ashley Jade is amazing and i cannot wait for the second book
What a great beginning to this series. Preston and Kit are so wrong they are right. Poor Kit goes thru so much, I feel for her in so many ways and Preston is a true butt! I love their chemistry and can’t wait to see what happens in the second book. Another great book by Ashley!
Great book, well written. A man and a women through the years, have had so much trauma, tradegy, heartache, drama, love/hate, confusion with each other. Both have had lots of good and bad happen to them, always in each other’s thoughts. So scared by her grandmother she attempts to live her life her way, but a tragic revelation comes to light, and she’s in big trouble. Both personally and professionally. He’s a mess, a gambling addict indebted to the mob. Haven’t seen each other in 3 years and come together at the worst time in their lives. Will they figure out what is going on with each other? Or will they go there seperate ways again. Well written and highly recommend for a super great read. Can’t wait to see what happens next, nail biting in fact.
