Excerpt:

Lexi woke slowly. The familiar feel of her bed, the comforting smell of her laundry detergent lingering in the sheet pressed against her face, reassured her. I’m home. I made it home. Head pounding, mouth dry and tasting like a barroom floor–or how she imagined a barroom floor would taste–and with seven-hour- old whiskey roiling in her stomach threatening to reappear, Lexi opened her eyes. A man lay snoring beside her, his head down by her feet and his well-toned, hairy body sprawled on top of the sheets. They’d lost the duvet while tangling over it in the pre-dawn hours. Lexi remembered without embarrassment picking him up at the bar and bringing him home with her, the vigorous sex she’d semi-enjoyed but couldn’t remember his name. Bending a leg, she planted a foot in his cute behind and shoved him out of bed.

Time to go, Romeo.” Lexi stifled a laugh at the distinctively female yelp as he tumbled to the floor. The sheet puddled around her lap as she sat, but she didn’t bother with false modesty. She reached for the water bottle she’d had the foresight to leave on her nightstand and watched with disinterest as her companion stood. Guzzling water, rinsing the taste from her mouth, she assessed. He was good-looking, athletically built, and a decent lay, but dumb as a stump if memory served. Lexi had no interest in learning more.


My Review:

Homicide Detective Alexandra Danvers is still dealing with the death of her husband in more ways than one. According to the department, Lexi has become a loose cannon. They are afraid to investigate Lexi themselves as she has friends in high places.

The department brings in police corruption specialist, Detective Xavier Knight to go undercover as Lexi’s partner. They need to know if Lexi is a danger to herself and or others.

Detective Xavier Knight has some baggage of his own that he has been carrying around for a long time. Xavier has no home, family, or friends so he goes where ever duty calls.

Xavier’s first day on the job and they are called out to a homicide of a little boy. Lexi and Xavier work together to find who killed the little boy. Lexi has a suspect but the killer is very smart with not leaving behind much evidence for them to follow.

Fall to Pieces was filled with suspense and mystery that kept me on my toes as each page was turned. Fall to Pieces is a fast-paced read that kept me in tears for most of its journey. My heart broke in two on several different occasions. It was so hard to read and picture, but very easy as well, the crime scene of the little boy. My heart broke for those officers and for Lexi and Xavier as well. Oh, and not to mention the mother and brother.

I enjoyed reading Fall to Pieces way more than I thought I would when I read the summary. The characters were awesome and wonderful people who all seemed so real. You know like someone you would meet in your everyday life. Well, not all the characters were great. No, some, or maybe just one was a very bad, evil person.

While I do think that Fall to Pieces was a hard story to read I do highly recommend it to anyone who can read books of this nature. I do think that that little boy’s story needs to be told so to speak.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

When I was little I thought everyone had stories in their head. When I found out that wasn’t true and that only special people had stories to tell, I wanted to be one of the people who shared their stories with the world. Here I am, making my own dreams come true, one happily ever after at a time.
