Protective Hero There are two things you should know about Clark Day: he has perfected his brooding sexiness, and he is fiercely overprotective of his younger sisters. I knew he only saw me as their annoying friend, mostly ignoring me since our teenage years with the exception of chasing off any guy who showed interest in me. Now his eyes tend to linger, and a slow chemistry is building between … linger, and a slow chemistry is building between us. One stupid night proves just how explosive that heat is, changing everything between us.
In the aftermath, we have a decision to make, and I need his support now more than ever.
Having been around Layne McGuire for years, I know a couple things: she has turned into an attractive woman with soft curves, and she has horrible judgment when it comes to members of the opposite sex. I had always watched out for her, and something was undeniably shifting between us. I could only dismiss the sparks for so long, leading us to one night of passion, but the real backfire came a month later.
In the end, who would have thought the person she needed protection from was me?

This was a beautiful story! I am honored by having received an ARC from the author. This is the second book in a series that seems to have more coming. It is the story of Layne and Clark. It picks up where the first book in the series ends. They have a bumpy beginning and end up with a happily ever after, but the characters in the story are so sweet that it all warmed my heart. I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to more from this wonderful author.
First book in the A Day By Day Series, was sweet with a minimal amount of drama. This time around, Unfinished Pieces offers up drama from quite an oopsie. Big brother Clark is fiercely overprotective of his younger sisters and their friends. Then one night a little too much booze with one of those friends caused some long-term repercussions. OOPSIE!
Layne and Clark, yeah I liked them. This story definitely held my interest more than the first. Clark has a few jerk moments but manages to redeem himself. Layne, sweet, stubborn and a saint to wait things through as Clark gets his head out of his butt. They both do quite a bit of growing and it was a treat to following along as they struggled through.
As in the first book, you definitely can see where this series is going. It was nice to see how things were turning out for Ellie and Holden. Obviously, the next up couple will be Vivian and Beckett. Their coupling should be interesting. Another light fun read for fans of sweet romances.
I received this book from SBR for the express purposes of an honest review. The opinions and rating of this review are solely mine.
Stars – 3.5
After the little cliffhanger in Save This Dance that set us up for this one, I had to jump right into reading this one. This is Clark and Layne’s story. I went back and forth on whether I liked Clark or not. At first I thought he was a jerk but then I realized it was just a misunderstanding and he was really sweet but then he does something that made me not like him for a bit while he tries to deal with things. I loved Layne but I did want to shake some sense into her every once in while.
Hot, amazingly sweet forever love story.
3 hours. The time it took to finish thjs story. One word to describe it: AMAZING!! I would give more than 5 stars if possible!!!
I knew when I first read Save the Dance by this author and the way it ended, this book would be amazing! But, she took Clark and Layne’s story and blew it out of the water. I absolutely love these characters and their small town life, full of family and close friends. It’s a place you want to live and be a part of. Catching up with precious characters was amazing, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Layne and Clark have had their ups and downs in life. Misunderstandings, one night stands, and circumstances have shaped them into what they are today. Their road is long and hard, but they finally get their HEA. The misunderstandings are quite frustrating. The chemistry is off the charts, but no one wants to act on it. Surprises are around every corner of this book. I can’t wait for dangerous chaos!!
This author was a new author for me in Save the Dance. I was blown away. You need to read her books. You won’t be able to put them down!!
Unfinished Pieces Book 2 A Day By Day Series by Brooke Parker
Marvelous! Perfection! Beautiful! What an amazing second book in the series! Love the characters! Quite emotional but it all so worth it!
I am so much in love with Brooke’s writing. I can always count on her for an awesome read!!
“So sexy and all mine.”
“It was my own little strip show, and my man was hot.”
“Every glance, each touch reminded me how much he loved me.”
Can’t wait for Book 3! Very highly recommend!
BREATHTAKING!
A beautifully written breathtaking read that will take everything from you to get to the end! An engrossing unpredictable storyline that will rip your heart out and tick you off. You will be excited on edge but will be spellbound even with tears running down your face gasping for air you can’t stop because you have to know the pieces that are unraveling throughout this emotionally charged suspense filled read. A fantastic must read that will push you to the edge but will be worth it all in the end.
I was super excited to start this book and to see how will Clark and Layne workout their problems.
I’ll be honest and say I wanted to slap the living lights out of them both a few times. Some of the moves they pulled had me griping my hair almost tearing them out. But all that was forgotten the minute they decided that they wanted each other.
Something about Brooke Parker’s writing skills speak to me and I’m loving this series so far.
