One ill-fated night when she was fifteen left her locked in a posh prison of private tutors. It’s for the best, everyone said, and maybe it was. But after years of hard work and healing, the one person … was. But after years of hard work and healing, the one person who never thought of her as broken could be the one to break her all over again. And Beth can’t seem to stay away now any more than she could all those years ago.
As soon as David March learned his best friend’s little sister was enrolling at his school, he promised to look after her, and promised himself he’d keep a safe distance. But the sweet little girl he’d grown up with has transformed into a gorgeous young woman, and she’s attracting attention from people she shouldn’t-like the ex who nearly destroyed her and a strange new student with a disturbing habit of showing up wherever Beth goes. But for David, the most troubling discovery is realizing that he doesn’t just want Beth to be safe. He wants her to be his.more
This is my first Danielle Pearl read and HOLY WOW!!! How have I not read her books before? In Pieces was full of a whole lotta sexy, angst and suspense. It’s been a while since I read a really good College read that had me hooked but Danielle’s book In Pieces did just that and more.
Having not read anything before this one I never once felt lost. The way Danielle writes at least int his book will make you feel like you are a secondary character and are right there within the story. You will laugh when they laugh, want to cry when they cry, they will make you want to throw things, smack them upside the head and join in on an argument.
I cannot wait to go back and read EVERYTHING that Danielle has released. This is one author I will now put at the top of my favorite author list.
After being completely crushed by her last boyfriend Beth Caplan isn’t so willing to travel down that road again anytime soon, it took her a long time to get over what was done to her and she has no intentions of repeating past mistakes. She is ready to focus on the new adventure in front of her, put love and relationships completely on the back burner, and embrace all the life experiences college has to offer her. But there is one thing that is standing in her way, a very sexy thing that is, her older brothers best friend and her newly appointed babysitter… and she isn’t about to allow him to cramp her style.
David March has had a thing for his best friends little sister for as long as he can remember, there hasn’t been a time through the years that he’s hasn’t wished she was his girl. He’s watched her go through a horrible break-up and been there to help her pick-up the pieces, and seen her at her worst, but it has never deterred him from caring deeply for her. When she arrives at the same college he attends, he decides to appoint himself her bodyguard, he figures he can keep the men away, and secretly feed his wish for her to be his… even if it is under false pretenses. But then things get a little hairy, and her personal safety is put at risk, so he convinces her to move in with him, and things start to take an unexpected turn form there!
In Pieces is a heartfelt read that is sure to keep your emotions stirring and have your undivided attention from start to finish! From the moment I started it the words took a hold and an addiction settled over me that I knew wouldn’t be satisfied until I had devoured every last word. These wonderfully crafted characters found a way into my heart and I couldn’t help but feel for them and cheer them on! I have to say this was quite the impressive first read for me, one that I definitely won’t forget anytime soon, it gave me the feels, made me blush, and left my heart overflowing!! Highly recommend this one!!
