My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this romance Suspense story. It is a story that is full of twists and turns that keeps the reader guessing. The author does a great job with the characters. Both of them are very strong characters and their attraction to each other leaps off the page. I also love how the author has given them so much depth by including all their past history. It makes the characters more realistic and their story more believable.

In this story we follow Kaylee and Jayson. Both of them have history from high school. Feelings and emotions that were denied at the time and crossed wires turned them against each other.
Now their lives collide again and yet again then are on opposite sides.

Kaylee is a police officer. She loves her job and is determined to be the best officer she can be. However a routine capture of a drug dealer will turn her life and everything she thought was right upside down.

Jayson is the guy she busts and even after all the years apart his feelings for her come racing back to the surface. He couldn’t be with her when they were younger but he will stop at nothing to get her now. But will Kaylee be able to see past who he has become and his life of crime to find the boy that stole her heart at school? And what will the consequences be if Kaylee starts getting close to a suspect that police want to catch? Will they get their HEA or will Kaylee’s job and Jaysons life be too much for the attraction to survive. This story will keep.you gripped and the twists in the story means you definately won’t be able to stop reading

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Love Restrained is a contemporary romantic suspense story with a few twists and turns and those you just did not see coming. The characters are complex and full of flaws and all and you will fall in love with them as we journey along with them. The chemistry between Jayson and Kylee is palpable with the push and pull.

There is violence, abuse, drugs and heartbreak and you can’t help but feel for Jayson.

Becky moves the writing through different POV’s which is not always a smooth transition.

Two different people once aware of each other but are now strangers on different sides of the law. What would you do to keep the other safe?

It is a good read if you looking for something different.

Wow, there are not enough great things to say about this book! From the first chapter to the very end of this book I was HOOKED and could not stop reading!! Lexi is a headstrong independent female character which made this book that much better! When she had to work with Xavier she was not thrilled but made their story THAT MUCH BETTER. The ending was just the icing on the cake! I will be reading all of her stories now because the writing style is just superb.

This book took me under and kept me hook. Lexi is such a great main character that brings a lot to the table. It can a bit dark with the past, but man does it keep you wanting more. Xavier is also a piece of work with a lot of package, but once again, worth the read. Great job to the author indeed!

Great detective romance story. The story line was great it pulled me in especially with the massive plot twist. Detectives Lexi and Xavier are on the hunt for a child killer but Xavier has a hidden agenda and it could jeopardise the whole case if he concentrates on what he has been hired to do. Lexi and Xavier are spending so much time together on this case that feelings start to grow between the pair can they remain professional and ignore these feelings

An engaging, well-written romantic suspense/crime novel! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and read it in a couple of sittings. It was hard to put down; the story was fast-paced with fully developed characters drawing the reader in deeper. The world building was also excellent, making the reader feel like they are in the middle of the story, with vivid details. The author tackles many difficult themes in the story, including suicide and loss of child to murder, which makes the book feel a bit darker and could make it challenging to read, but I found her writing flawless and her ability to capture emotion of characters excellent, doing proper justice to difficult subject matter. Overall, this was an excellently written book and I look forward to more from this author.

If romantic suspense is your thing, you’ll definitely want to give this book a chance. I was on the edge of my seat and couldn’t wait to finish this one.

Lexi’s career is on the line and a lot of things factor in to that but she is determined to bring justice to Arthur. Xavier is brought on to determine if Lexi is capable of doing her job and doing it well but Lexi is not privy to that information. Xavier doing his job could very well compromise the case Lexi is working on to serve justice to a child murderer. I don’t want to say too much so as not to give anything away as the suspense is part of the experience. This was such a good read. I definitely recommend!

I love detective stories. I enjoy trying to figure things out with them. Top that with the pain and past Lexi tried to bury deep within herself and the trouble it was causing her with work, I was hooked. I needed the bad guy to get caught just as much as she did. As a parent it was rough hearing about the cases. But it made me connect more to the story. Despite the real reason Xavier was transferred to Lexi’s department I kinda hoped a romance would bud. This story definitely keeps you interested. I also like some of the references that let you know it takes place in current time.

This book was a suspenseful 4 star read. This was my first read from this author and I was pleasantly surprised. Her writing pulls you right into Xavier and Lexi’s story.

Lexi is on a mission to capture a child killer. Xavier joins Lexi as her partner in the investigation.
When these two meet there is an instant attraction, can Xavier keep things professional? How would Lexi feel if she really knew who he was and the real reason he has been assigned to work with her. What will happen when she finds out his secret?

Will they be able to find the killer before it’s too late?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. We get suspense, emotion, drama and so much more. My emotions were all over the place. I really liked both of these characters. I can’t imagine being a detective and having to deal with the things that these two did. They had a great connection as well. If you’re looking for a great thrilling read, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I’m a sucker for a good romantic suspense story and this author definitely delivered that for me. The storyline kept me on my toes and was filled to the brim with drama, mystery and plenty of romance to. The author does a wonderful job of keeping a perfect balance of all those things and more. The characters draw you in and keep you reading. I couldn’t put it down and loved every minute of it. I’m definitely going to be looking for more from this author. Lexi may be one of my top characters for this year. It’s well written and paced nicely. Four big stars and highly recommended!

First off this story is a wild ride full of emotional and physical suspense. The cat and mouse analogy seems to tame to even describe what the author has pulled off with her writing. Our main character Lexi is deemed a loose cannon at work, someone the bosses are trying to force out before she damages the reputation of the force or costs them a lot of money. Meanwhile Lexi is just dealing with past traumas that she can’t seem to outrun from the loss of a kid to her husband who committed suicide in the home they shared. Enter Xavier Knight who is brought in to test Lexi’s demeanor and see whether she is truly fit for duty or the loose cannon that everyone thinks she is.

Xavier is assigned as Lexi’s new partner in his undercover work with internal affairs as he evaluates Lexi. However, their first case throws them and their relationship into a tailspin when it is the body of a young boy. Once again Lexi has to confront the same man that her husband lost his battle to Book. Tempers flare while the investigation is happening and to avoid further lawsuit after a confrontation at the station with Book, Lexi and Xavier are pulled from the investigation. Xavier finally starts to realize that the department is forcefully trying to remove Lexi even though she is a good detective. He also finds that she may be right about Book’s involvement in the boys murder and agrees to investigate him with Lexi in secret. Both Lexi and Xavier are trying to hold their secrets close to their vests but what happens when they come to light? Will the ticking time bomb they are tiptoeing around implode taking them down with it? Or can the bring a murderer who has bested them to justice? This is one of the best books I have read this year and will look for other titles this author has written. Her characters are dynamic, the storylines explosive and the twists and turns keep you coming back for me trying to put all the pieces together before the characters themselves do.

This book has so many interesting elements—a great storyline, fantastic characters, and enough romance and suspense to fill a few volumes. I’ve never been what one could call a “fan” of police dramas and mysteries, but this book has certainly given me pause in that viewpoint. I couldn’t stop reading, too intrigued and drawn in. The characters might as well be real people with how well they were written. Even the background characters were amazing and integral to the story. If you enjoy books with suspense, crime, and an ensemble of characters you’ll love, this is for you.

Kudos to this author for showing tact in dealing with triggering scenes in this novel. While scenarios were real life, the author gave a well-deserved ending. The characters were well developed and crush-worthy 😉. The storyline was easy to read as it was compelling. Fall to Pieces was my introduction to this author’s work, but it certainly won’t be my last.

I’ll admit – this is a new author to me. I was intrigued by the synopsis of the book and decided to dive right in to it. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the book immensely. There is mystery and drama – complex characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. It is a dark story of a detective who lost her husband to suicide and who works hard to maintain her sanity…while dealing with her workload and coworkers. The story leads you into the lives of a detective and the search for a suspected child killer. The emotions of losing a child can be felt in the words so vividly written and woven thru the story line by the author. I would recommend this book if you enjoy a good mystery – I could hardly put the book down. Now to go back and read the first book in the series.

This author writes a beautiful story! The main character, Lexi, is so relatable! She’s living her every day life, and refuses to compromise her morals. That’s so hard to do, and the way she interacts with the other characters is so realistic. The relationships weaved between the characters and the complexity of the plot were truly amazing and I didn’t want to put this book down!

Alexandra “Lexi” Danvers is a no nonsense detective. She may struggle a little with authority, but the most important thing she can do is keep crime off the streets. So why is her department working so hard to get rid of her?

Xavier Knight is brought in to be her new partner check Detective Danvers fitness for duty after the tragedy she’s endured. But on day one, they’ve hit a big case and he’s determined to see it through.

Keeping quiet about their motives may get difficult when they start their own investigation into a potential child murder. An investigation that may cost them their jobs, but it could also cost them their lives.

Fall to Pieces was an exhilarating read and kept me wondering what might be next. This book touches on hard topics that may be hard for some readers so read with caution. These topics were very gently and kindly done to show that these situations happen, even if it’s hard to talk about. It paints a picture of grief, anger, and hope for change while being just suspenseful enough to not be thrown across the room.

I hope to see more about Lexi and Xavier and I’m looking forward to reading more from this author!

This novel is face paced and a page turner. I literally couldn’t put it down from the first word to the very last! Lexi is a bit of a hot headed detective who is known as a loose cannon since her husband took his own life. While this is a very dark, dangerous subject I feel this author really handled it with grace and truth.
Xavier is sent in to investigate Lexi but ends up finding out she really is a crack detective with a big heart! Their attraction is hot and fast, but with a child killer on the loose can they find him before he gets to them? This fast paced thriller, suspense, drama, romance novel is my pick for a great read you won’t be able to put down.

Several years ago I read a book series about a male detective haunted by his past and trying to outrun his demons. I absolutely loved it. Something about Fall to Pieces brings me back to that series and it thrills me to know that the main character in this dangerous read is a female. In a genre that could be so overdone this storyline remained unique to me, and I really admire the author’s writing for that. While it sounds unoriginal to say, this book hooked me from page one as I patiently awaited for Lexi’s story to unravel. I have read so many great books in the recent past but this one really reminded me of my love for the romantic suspense genre and my need to dive deeper into it again. This is without a doubt a 5 star read in my eyes.

A thrilling yet romantic five-star read. It’s a fast-paced story, with an engaging storyline, the characters will make you care about them, they suck you into the story. There is crime, but also chemistry, you will get pulled into Xavier and Lexi’s story, guessing the clues and following the leads. Lexi does get a little heavy at times, but as you get to know her you see the real her. This is a great story and an author I am excited to hear more from.

If you are a fan of detective and romantic suspsense books then this one is for you. Throw a little pull at the heart strings and have some emotional, tear induced moments and you are all set. Fast paced read that you don’t want to put down. You start to fall in love with the main character a few chapters in, at first she comes off as smug and hard nosed but once you start to really get to know her story, your mind will be changed. Highly recommend this great read!

This book is completely different from what I normally read. Yes there is romance which is right up my alley but it seemed more of a mystery to me. The suspense is there but the focus seems to be on finding the person who did these acts. It is also about self discovery after loss. The characters in this book are great and have an amazing character development throughout the book. The story line is amazing and it will keep you turning the pages in order to figure out who did what and if they will actually be able to catch the person who did these things. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because even though there is a love story in the book it seems to be more about the mystery/thrill of the story, I highly recommend reading this is suspense/mystery/thrill with a side of romance is your thing.

This was a really good read! I was invested from the beginning and the moment that Lexi got her gun out with the random dude in her bed. It was enthralling from the get go and so worth the read. There is a trigger warning for content in this book, in regards to rape, pedophilia, and suicide. There were a few (what I thought anyway) graphic scenes. But this book was so emotional and well written I didn’t want to put it down. This was just all around a great book. This is the first I’ve read from this author before and it won’t be my last!

Fall to Pieces is a story rooted in tragedy. This story takes you into the world of homicide detective Lexi Danvers, who’s focus lies on suspected child killer Authur Book. She is placed with a new partner Xavier Knight, who is secretly sent in from Internal Affairs, to determine is Lexi is fit for work or if her self destructive behavior after the loss of her husband is conflicting her ability to perform her duties as detective.
This story is tragic, sad, and cruel, but in a wonderful way. The reader is thrust into a scene of a murdered 8 year old boy. As I read this scene, my own 8 year old son was sitting beside me and I felt the emotions so vividly. The author does a fabulous job of relaying such devastation in a manner where you do want to continue into this journey and discover who can be so cruel to harm such an innocent victim. The character of Authur Book was just manipulative, evil and vile as the author displayed this throughout the story with Lexi and Xavier’s mission to catch him and stop his menace on young victims.
I definitely would recommend this book if you are willing to put your emotions on display and allow yourself to be thrust into such horrible, unimaginable situations that this book details. The author did a fabulous job of taking us on a journey that I hope and pray never to face in the real world.

Great book! As this story unfolds it was hard for me to put down. Lexi is a detective who is haunted by her past about her late husband while being a strong detective with an attitude. Xavier is sent in to “investigate” more about Lexi and if she is truly fit to be a detective. When Lexi and Xavier are partnered together, their first case is a child homicide. This already started my heart racing. Something about the homicide is clean and precise and Lexi’s #1 suspect is Author Book. She truly believes he was involved with a previous case and now he just torments her like he did with her late husband. Xavier, is not attached to anyone, no friends, no family. Xavier is to investigate Lexi, but also ends up investigating Author Book as well. Both characters really pull at my heart. Lexi is strong willed and full of attitude, but really haunted by her demons. Xavier hold secrets of his own. Will Xavier and Lexi learn to work together and solve the homicide of a child?

This story really pulls you in from beginning to end. If you love murder mystery, crime, suspense and some romance..this book is a great read! Highly recommended!

Fall to Pieces  was full of surprises for me.  I totally didn’t see things playing out the way they did and I was glad.  I love it when I don’t see the twists until they’re being revealed.

Lexi has a lot going on in her life and unfortunately she doesn’t make the best choices.  She was quite determined to make sure she was able to catch the killer before there is another victim.

Xavier comes into Lexi’s life at the perfect time with the homicides and every thing else she is dealing with both personally and at work.

This book had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next and it did not disappoint.

Detective Lexi Danvers has had a hard go of it in her personal life. As a homicide detective catches a case involving a child killer, her main suspect is out of her reach. Detective Xavier Knight gets partnered up with Lexi, his job is to make sure she is still able to do her job within the best of her ability. Xavier is worried about her behavior, but can he honestly evaluate her with his attraction growing? Can they bring justice to a little boys family? Great read that kept me hooked from the beginning. This was the first book by this author, but will not be the last.

Alexandra Danvers and Xavier Knight are on a hunt to find Arthur Book. They must stop him before he kills again. All the while Xavier is investigating Lexi, his job is to see if she can do her job as a detective. While Lexi is on the job to stop this horrible killer. She is also fighting an inner battle. The loss of her husband is only the beginning for Lexi. This author has a way of getting you caught up in her story. The story is non-stop action, keeping you on the edge of your seat. The characters are the true story makers, people I would have loved to have known. Let’s not forget the attraction between Lexi and Xavier. Can these two people do their jobs, all the while trying to keep each other and their families safe? You really do need to read this story, and take a chance with this author. She is a new to me author who has got my vote. I look forward to reading more from her.
