All The Missing Pieces had me guessing pieces of the story from beginning to end. The twists were all surprising, the sex scenes were well written, and this story keeps you guessing! I loved learning the backstory of Reese's life and how she handles all the betrayals thrown her way. I would recommend this book to any thriller lover!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve read this author before in more of a straight up contemporary romance genre so I was really interested in reading this but throughout the whole book I was unsure if this was romance or suspense so I kept thinking HEA or NO!?! Let me put your mind at ease that there *is* an HEA!

Reese was a spoiled rich girl whose life got turned upside down when her father was sent to prison for embezzling 20 million dollars. She’s not exactly likeable, but I think that was the point – that she’s changed because of everything she’s gone through in the public eye, and yikes, is she in the public eye. The chemistry she has with Chris, who is a mysterious stranger, is off the charts and throws her life into eve more chaos than before.

Reese is definitely the star of the book and she’s lived a complicated life, I liked that the author was able to show how paranoid she’s become from not being able to trust anyone. Her life had evolved into one random encounter after another. Chris showing up has her questioning everything and the fallout from that was really enjoyable and kept me on my my toes the whole time.

A dark, twisty story that leaves the reader hooked. This book has great writing and an intense tale. I would recommend being in the right head space prior to reading as parts are quite dark and depressing. There are some trigger warnings also.
