Description

"Shattered Hearts series?xa0 Very accurate name.xa0 However, my heart is not shattered.xa0 It's mashed up, put into a blender, frozen and reconstituted like a chicken McNugget.xa0 Cassia... what the HELL are you doing to my brain and my heart?" - Ellie at Love N. Books " Any book that can bring out that many emotions,xa0 make you think about the book days after reading it, and bring out that much love and passion for the characters in the book, in my opinion is an amazing book.xa0 And an amazing story is exactly what Ms. Leo delivered." - Jennifer at Three Chicks and Their Books New York Times bestselling author Cassia Leo loves her coffee, chocolate, and margaritas with salt. When she's not writing, she spends way too much time watching old reruns of Friends and Sex and the City. When she's not watching reruns, she's usually enjoying the California sunshine or reading--sometimes both.

Features & Highlights

  • The story that began in the USA Today bestseller RELENTLESS continues. In Relentless, college student Claire Nixon and surfer Adam Parker each had a painful past too heavy to carry alone. Claire tried to push Adam away, but Adam's relentless pursuit of her heart and her secrets made her walls come crumbling down. Though their hearts will never be whole again, Claire and Adam now know they are stronger together than they are apart. But now Claire's attending college a hundred miles away from Adam. With their relationship already hanging by a thread, Adam is sent to Hawaii on business. And rock star Chris Knight is back in Claire's life. Chris wants his ex-girlfriend back and he knows just how to get her: only he has the power to mend the final missing piece of Claire's broken heart. Now Claire must choose between a long-distance relationship with Adam and a second chance at love, family, and home.

Loved it!

Luckily I got book one and two together, so I didn't have to wait with the first cliffhanger. But now I'm dying for the third book to come out! I love the characters in this book. Ms. Leo does a good job of showing the humanity in her characters and showing multiple dimensions to the story. Usually I find a character I am adamant the heroin should choose in love triangles. This time I feel for her because the choice isn't clear.

3.5 star read

This book is better then the 1st or 2nd book. Not sure we really need 4 books for this series. It is long winded and its the same back and forth. There is Chris, Claires first love and then Adam. She doesn't know who to choose and they both love her and want her. This is a 3.5 star read. This series will not pull you in keep you interested were you can't put it down. There are parts I find myself skipping over because its boring.

Love it

One of my favorite series. This story is intense and full of love and heartache. Claire wants to move on with Adam but she has unresolved feelings for Chris who is now a famous rock star. Great story of finding yourself and the love you deserve.

Just as Good as the First Book....

Once I finished Shattered Hearts, I picked up Piece of You and didnt put it down until I finished it. Once again Cassia Leo had me glued to the pages. I had to know how everything would turn out between Adam, Claire and Chris - and now Abigal - Chris and Claires baby that she gave up for adoption. In this book we get to see just how much Chris loved Claire and that he would do anything for her. Again we also get more insight into Adam as well. Claire has to figure out which guy is right for her. I love how both Adam and Chris love Claire and will both do anything for her. You can not help but pull for both guys. Again when I finished this book, I immediately started Bring Me Home - I had to know how this series ended....

Loved it!

Loved this book, even more then the first. However I now find myself just as torn as Claire. I have no idea how this story is going to wind up in the end, and who she will end up with, but I cannot wait to find out. I love both Adam and Chris equally...how will she choose? The book was very well written, just as the first. I am a fan of this author's work, and cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Amazing..

This book is one word, amazing. I got the ebook for free and I did not think that I would like it. I was totally wrong. I fell in love with the book after the second page. All the main characters are very likable. Even though I skipped the first book in the series (I just by chance happened to get the book so I went ahead and read it), I still understood what is going on. Three main characters in the book have to deal with their own painful past. They want to pick up the pieces of their shattered hearts but everything is falling apart one by one.

The main female character, Claire, is impossible. I kind of do not understand the way she thinks. She has done such wrong actions to the two main guy characters, Adam and Chris. However, for some reasons I cannot bring myself to dislike her. With other books, female characters like this would irritate me so much that I would scream. Maybe this is because of Cassia Leo's way to writing to convey the deep feeling of Claire. On the other hand, both Adam and Chris are wonderful in their own way.I don't know, but I have already purchased the next book of this series because the ending of this book cuts you off and it is getting too good. If the third/ last book satisfies me, I will purchase the first book just to have the whole collection in my brain.

P'S: Even though Chris seems like a much better match for Claire, I am TEAM ADAM! Just because he is so real understanding. :)

One of my favourite series ...

My first thought on Pieces of You are ... ARGH! What a MESS! No, I don't mean the writing or the storyline ... I mean Claire's whole situation!
I love Claire, I do, she's been through so much, but for me there's only one clear answer for her and that's ... ADAM!

Pieces of You had me clutching my chest at certain points, one in particular that I definitely can't talk about! I could actually feel pain as the events unfolded, all the while thinking NOOOO! STOP! As desperate as I was to read it I was afraid to actually start because I was so afraid of what was coming next and where things would go next. Reading Pieces of You was so hard. I had to do it a few chapters at a time because my nerves couldn't take it!

I love how I've become so involved and invested in Claire's story and feel like I know what's best for her. I love how Cassia Leo has completely sucked me in to Claire's world and made me care so much about what happens next to a fictional character! I absolutely CANNOT WAIT until August for book 3, Bring Me Home. Guess when my birthday is ... ? Yep, August! The BEST birthday present EVER!

I really liked the alternating points of view between Claire. Adam and Chris. I got a real feel for My first thought on Pieces of You are ... ARGH! What a MESS! No, I don't mean the writing or the storyline ... I mean Claire's whole situation!

I really liked the alternating points of view between Claire. Adam and Chris. I got a real feel for everything that everyone was feeling and going through. Adam's POV was probably my favourite though. I just ... LOVE THAT GUY!

Do yourself a favour and download the Shattered Hearts series NOW! I don't think you'll regret it.

amazing!!!!

I had to read book 2 and I wasn't disappointed. Cassia writes in. Such a way she has me hooked on these characters. I hope Claire gets with Adam I feel he's the best one for her. I am anxiously waiting for book 3 I have to find out what happens.

Heartfelt love story with a little umph!!

This book is a FABULOUS sequel to Cassia Leo's first book in the series Relentless. Cant wait to see how this twisted romance ends!! I love the authors ability to make you feel like you are there with the characters and the playlists to match the books are AMAZING. Definitely a must read series!!

Pieces of You Left me speechless and hungry for the last installment!

Cassia Leo has done it again. This nail biter, roller coaster of emotion novel picks up where Relentless ends. I honestly thought I had Claire's happily ever after chosen, and then everything changed. Ms. Leo was able to transform my opinion and make me swoon over both Adam and Chris. The character development and unique storyline kept me on the edge. I laughed; I cried; I laughed some more. Reading all three characters' points of view provided just the right amount of insight into each one's emotions. As a reader, you feel Chris' angst and Adam's feelings of betrayal. You also feel the love Claire has for both men.

I am anxiously awaiting Bring Me Home in order to find out whom Claire chooses in the end. If the third book keeps me as intrigued as the first two, it will definitely be worth the wait. Thanks, Cassia, for writing such wonderful books!
