I have been holding off reading this one because I wanted to give it some space after reading James and Penny’s stories. I don’t know I still wasn’t super in love with Tyler. I felt like his story was too rushed. In my mind he will always be in love with Penny! This was still well written by Ivy, but I think Penny and James will always be my favorite books/couple!
This book makes you fall in love with Tyler Stephens if you weren’t so sure about him in the hunted series! This book has all the feels!
Missing pieces follows Tyler’s journey of self discovery. Torn and heartbroken, he has made a decision that will affect the rest of his life, and it all starts with a road trip. What he didn’t expect to find on this journey was the one thing he had been missing. Her name is Hayley, and she’s joining him on the road in a desperate attempt to save everything she loves. She needs to find hope, he needs to find himself, but together they find each other. This is a really sweet book that gives you a glimpse into Tyler’s past that also sheds some light on the boy we first meet in the Hunted series.
“This is the best sunset I’ve ever seen.” “Mhm.” “Open your eyes, Hails. You’re missing it.” She shook her head again and squeezed her eyes shut even harder. “The most beautiful things in life aren’t seen. They’re felt by the heart.”
Ms Smoak is a new to me author and I thoroughly enjoyed reading Tyler and Hailey’s story. The storyline had me glued to the pages and the characters felt real. I laughed and cried with this pair and wished I could of joined them on that road trip. PS I’d love to read Hailey’s dads story.
The hero and the heroine have both had to deal with heartbreak. As a result Tyler has sabotaged his happiness, while Hailey still sees the good in everything. When her life is turned on it’s axis, she jumps into a strangers car and travels Route 66 with him. Thankfully Tyler’s not an axe murderer, he’s hoping to find some inner peace. Tyler is still smarting from Penny’s rejection and Hailey doesn’t want to come second to Penny. Time isn’t something either of them have, but they manage to make the most of every minute. Until they are forced to go in separate directions.
Road trip romance is a genre I’m always excited to read, so I couldn’t wait to jump into this one and I wasn’t disappointed. I was hooked from the first page and didn’t want it to end as I loved the relationship between Hailey and Tyler who were both searching for something but they didn’t know what. Tyler came into Hailey’s life when she was going through the toughest time and he gave her everything he had to ensure she was safe and looked after when he couldn’t be around. This author writes in a way that has you feeling for her characters and wanting to be there helping them. She never fails to write an amazing story and leaves me wanting more
3.5
An enjoyable trip. Something I would not think of doing. But, you take a chance and good things can happen!! Totally romantically crazy. Loved it!!
I really enjoyed the characters and storyline!
Her father is dying and she hops in a car with a stranger and takes off??? Sad way to get a plot line. She should have been with her father.
Book seemed a little juvenile to me. Too much explicit sex.
This book seemed to drag for me. I did not really like the attitude of the main character Hailey – she was a little on the selfish side. Just an OK book.
to many cuss words, didnt finish it
No, do not like books about ex spouses rejoining. Never works out – fairytaleish
I loved this book from the very beginning! Two troubled characters became soul mates on a road trip. The story takes the reader on their journey with lots of bumps along the way. When they decide to have sex, it is very steamy! I read for 3 hours without putting it down when I got midway through the book. It was the best book I have read in quite awhile!
Amazing how a couple of miscommunications can have such devastating affects on our lives. It was a fragile time in their lives but their strength in each other carry them beyond the pain.
Too long, too repetitive
Love a book that is human & realistic. Although I’m not sure how many of us would have jumped into an unknown vehicle w/an unknown person, but this book certainly speaks to the humanity in all of us & the desperation we would all go to in order to save a loved one. I loved both of them & when a book makes U forget that it’s a book & the characters & circumstances become real, it’s done it’s job. Good job Ivy.
Good character development.
Really enjoyed this book.
This book was an unexpected fun read. Characters were fun and the dialog was quirky and fun. I liked the characters and read it quickly.
