Books Need TLC: #NewRelease #Review #Giveaway In Pieces by @AuthorGiaRiley

Release Date: November 10, 2015

Synopsis

Rhett Taylor has a reputation to live up to. He’s the small town hero everyone expects to lead the team to victory. But looks can be deceiving, and the pressure unbearable – even after he confides in Kinsley West. She may not have been the obvious choice to others, but he chose her anyway. Thanks to her newfound popularity, Kinsley’s no longer living in the shadow of her older brother. For once, she has an identity of her own. But what builds quickly, often comes tumbling down. Piece by piece they find out how unpredictable young love can be. Can their love stand the test of time? Or will it be captured, only to be forgotten? A roll of film sets their story in motion. Each frame better than the last. But the real test comes when their whirlwind romance forces Kinsley to protect their secret – especially if she wants a future. Only Kinsley isn’t sure she can do it - not if she’s going to be left behind In Pieces.

Review - 4 Stars

What a great story about young love. This is a story that shows you that good things happen to good people. Its a story about family, overcoming fears of loss and trust and finally finding some peace within ourselves.

Kinsley West has suffered the worst tragedy a young girl could...she fears loss and doesn't trust. She lost her parents and has to grow up fast. Her mom died and her dad couldn't handle the loss so he left. Her older sister took Kinsley and her brother Wyatt in giving up her dreams to support her siblings. Wyatt has left for college, so his best friend Carson moves in to help with bills and to keep an eye on her. Kinsley has always had a crush on Carson, but he's off limits or is he? Kinsley's dream is to go to Parson School of Design and she is determined to get in. With people always talking behind her back or pitying her she decides no more, Kinsley has also decided this year she is going to finally have some fun, be a teenager for once.

Between working, school and designing she hasn't had time to really let loose, except she didn't expect The Rhett Taylor to sidetrack her plans. Will she open her heart to him or continue not trusting others?

Rhett Taylor...Mr. Popular...Star Football player….Gorgeous...Smart, but underneath it all who is the real Rhett. Rhett has watched Kinsley for years and he is convinced now is the time to make his move. With the obstacle of her brother out of the way, he makes his move. Kinsley will be his and he will do anything to get her and for her to feel the same. Will he get Kinsley to see him?

I loved the moments between these two. I mean it seriously brought me back to High School and those first love feelings, and jitters. I thought that Rhett was a little to good to be true a few times and I kept waiting for him to do something horrible to Kinsley...like it was all a big joke. However, once everything starting falling into place….I was in love with him. Truly a great guy and a gentlemen.

So of course Gia threw some interesting obstacles into their lives. I was rooting for them, but I thought they were gonna crash and burn with jealousy, family and a big secret came into play. This was a great story and I enjoyed every minute of it. It's sad, its funny, its adorable, its lovely. One picture changed it all and that opening part….swoon!

Gia I love your books. They always have a special meaning and a special story. You know how to grip your readers heart and tug. Your stories always seem realistic and your characters are true. I recommend this read and would love to see Wyatt and Becca have a story. 4 Photograph Stars!
