4 Stars

Reese Carlisle lives deep in the shadows of Holden City, a far cry from her former life in the spotlight. Once a golden girl with the world at her feet, her life sits in tatters after losing it all. And while Reese doesn’t allow herself many comforts, or human contact, she has been known to slap on a wig, fake her identity and go out on a date now and then… 

And then she meets the man who will once again rip her world apart… Chris Sherwood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All the Missing Pieces was an absorbing, intense and jaw dropping read. Reese’s struggle to live her life after becoming a pariah starts to unravel, and it all begins with a mystery man who keeps showing up when she least expects him. It has been a long time since Reese has allowed anyone to get as close to her as Chris seems to so effortlessly achieve, but letting her guard down may just prove to be the biggest mistake of her life… thus far…

With the recent loss of her brother and her father in prison, Reese has been hiding out from the scrutiny and disdain of the public eye. In her utter desolation, she finds comfort in only a select few things, volunteering at the local food bank and the occasional hook-up. Until she meets Chris and suddenly, she finds herself wanting to spend more than one night together, and to share things about herself that she hasn’t spoken about with any other living soul. But, is Chris too good to be true, or is Reese throwing away a new chance at life with her inherent distrust…

This was an excellent read! With a bit of a slow start, it started picking up about halfway through the book, and I was completely unable to put it down! While light on the romance, Reese and Chris’s connection and story was one that will stick with you. Deceit, lies and missing money, Reese has been holding her secrets close, but meeting Chris will change it all…

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.
