BLURB 

“I loved you then, I love you now, and I’ve loved you every single day in between.”   Jameson Taylor is a nomad. A drifter. A memory collector. Or, at least, that’s what’s become of her life ever since she was forced to leave pieces of her fractured heart behind.   “This is the fault in our fate, our one undoing: All he’s ever wanted is my happiness, even when it costs him his own.”   Holden Eastwood is resentful. Angry. But most of all, hurt. Torn to pieces by the girl who left him, he struggles to find forgiveness in the organ she once broke.   When a tragedy forces them to face the aftermath, Jamie seeks acceptance, while Holden searches for answers. What they find, instead, are remnants of their love. Fragments of forever. And parts of a puzzle that will lead them to the truth… A truth that might shatter them to pieces.

PIECES OF YOU REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jay McLean never ceases to amaze me with her incredible story telling. She has penned another poignant story that will hurt a thousand times over before the good. Jamie and Holden’s story is filled with so much angst but it is told in such a way that is raw, beautiful, heart wrenching and all consuming. If you have read this author’s Preston Brothers series you will have met Holden in Leo but she has only just scratched the surface in that book. There were so many layers to uncover about Holden and I devoured this story in one sitting. Jamie’s character shredded my heart. As her back story is revealed I was completely gutted and the emotional hold over my heart was intense. She has endured so much more than any young person should ever have to. However she is resilient and strong and has managed to survive it all and Holden being put in her life was not what she had planned for and completely up ends things. I love the beauty in Jamie and Holdens relationship. Holden is not perfect by any means, he is facing his own battles but there were moments when I was completely blown away by their dynamic. I loved those raw completely tender moments between them. Like when he compares Jamie to a puzzle. Throughout the story she reveals small pieces to him, one fragment at a time and he feels it is up to him to figure her out entirely. In true Jay McLean fashion this book ends in one shocking cliffhanger and I cannot wait to see how it all concludes in Pieces of Us.


PIECES OF ME REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pieces of Me is part two and the conclusion to Jamie and Holden’s love story and wow did Jay McLean blow me away with it. When I pick up any book by this author I have to do a mental pep talk, to prepare for the angst, heartbreak and feels but no matter how hard I try I’m never truly prepared. This is phenomenal story telling, character development and plot. Holden and Jamie’s story is one of this authors very best. Holden is one character that will stick with me forever. He began as a young and at times, stupid teenager but his character growth from teenage boy to young man is out of this world. He made mistakes but the love in his heart for the women in his life is so special and unique. 

I said it in my review of Pieces of You but I will again. Jamie is one resilient, strong young woman. Five years have passed since the end of Pieces of You and Jamie and Holden’s reunion will not be all hearts and flowers. It’s going to be messy, hard, and difficult but at the end of the day the two share one of the most extraordinary loves and even through the guilt, grief and hurt I chose to believe it was still there underneath the surface. 

This is a story that I never saw coming. It is truly a work of art and these characters will stay in my heart forever. This book gave me so many feels but the biggest being out of this world intense, raw emotion. The way these characters explode and implode all at once is all consuming. 

As a forever fan of the Preston Brothers my heart was so happy getting to check in on Leo, Mia and Benny. I adored those moments so very much. Also Big H and Maggie!

Jay McLean has written an epic love story for the ages with Holden and Jamie’s story. Her writing is next level and brings me back to the reason I read romance. Highly recommend to any new adult, second chance romance reader that wants a ton of angst, intensity and high emotion.
