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.

The writing in this book is so good. The story really flows and reels you in from the first chapter. Not only was I on the edge of my seat for the romance, but I also wanted to know what happened with the murder. This author has an excellent way of telling the story. The elements in the book might be a little dark but it’s such a good read.

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.

I was gripped from start to finish by this exciting and engaging romantic suspense novel. The main characters were well developed and realistic and the chemistry between the two of them came across in the writing. Homicide Detective Alexandra Danvers and her partner Detective Xavier Knight are determined to bring Arthur Book, a known child murderer to justice. However, Xavier is actually a police corruption specialist who is undercover as Lexi’s partner, but is really evaluating her fitness for duty. As the investigation into the child killer continues Xavier is worried that if he concentrates on his actual mission, then it could have serious consequences for the murder case, allowing Book to walk free. Things become more complicated for the pair as the more time they spend together on their covert investigation into Book’s, they can no longer ignore their growing feelings for one another. The pair become in danger of not only loosing their careers but also their lives as the case continues. The storyline flows well and I felt immersed in the investigation due to the descriptive narrative. I was kept hooked by the plot twists and stayed up late to finish the book as it was hard to put down. This was an enjoyable read which I would recommend.

This book is a great romantic suspense, detective novel. I do love a good romantic suspense story and I really enjoyed this one. I had never previously read any of this author’s work but I was intrigued by the blurb and decided to give it a go.
There is a book that comes before this in the series but they can be read as a stand-alone. When I read this book I wasn’t aware that there had been a previous book but as this is a whole new story there is no issue with not having read the previous book. The main characters from the previous book, Jayson Donovan and Kylee do make an appearance in this book. I do wonder about the names of these characters – is the author a Neighbours fan? Lol
This is the story of Detectives Alexandra (Lexi) Danvers and Xavier Knight and their pursuit of catching their main suspect in a child murder case.
I loved both of these characters. They are totally opposite in personality but work so well as a team. I really enjoyed reading their story. The author had me gripped from the very beginning of the story and does an amazing job of keeping you totally enthralled and not wanting to put the book down.
The book is filled with a great deal of drama, danger and intrigue and will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I will definitely read more of this author’s work in the future as I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Fall to PiecesFall to Pieces by Becky Flade

Lexi Danvers has been having a rough go of things since she lost her husband. Her superiors and fellow detectives feel she is a loose cannon due to her extracurricular activities outside of work. They are trying to find any reason they can to push her out and hired Xavier Knight, a specialist of sorts from Internal Affairs to investigate her. The last thing Xavier expected was to be attracted to his subject and start entertaining the idea of putting down roots of any kind. Lexi didn’t expect to have the walls she worked so hard to build be torn down so easily. While trying to figure the ins and outs of a potential relationship they are on the hunt for a murderer who hunts the innocent. Will they be able to do their respective jobs without jeopardizing not only their careers, but an entire investigation?

There are a few heavy subjects talked about in this book that are trigger warnings. Admittedly I had a bit of trouble getting past the first few pages due to what was happening, but I knew it was coming from the synopsis. Overall though I enjoyed the book from start to finish and would definitely read more books by this author.

Alexandra Danvers is a Homicide Detective in Philadelphia where she has a close circle of friends and a job she lives for, but that is all she has, her job, past events have shattered her and she is just about holding herself together, the problem is that others have seen it too and that is where Detective Xavier Knight comes into things, he is someone who investigates officers fitness for duty, but because of the need to move around a lot, he has no friends, family, or ties in any place and now his next assignment is Detective Danvers.

As Xavier heads into work for the start of his latest investigation, he is thinking that the man sat in front of him has no idea what he is doing as an officer, that he is more adept at being a politician, however, today, he is going to introduce Xavier to his new partner, Alexandra Danvers, but it is the attitude of his superior which irks him. The way that Danvers is described is as a sub standard cop with a chip on her shoulder, but her record says otherwise and when they are introduced and immediately sent out on a case, he can see why. It is the murder of a child and Xavier sees a whole new side to Danvers as she deals with the scene and the aftermath, however as the two investigate the crime, Alexandra is convinced that it is someone called Arthur Book, but nobody else believes her, apart from Xavier.

When things don’t go quite to plan, the two partners agree to start their own investigation on the side, they both know the who, but now they just need to figure out how to prove it before things turn deadly, or a known killer walks free. This is a thrillingly fast paced story with more questions than answers and mysteries that run deep into the lives of those surrounding the tragedy, while trust is gained, lives are lost and games are played throughout in this race against time.

Fall to Pieces is a intense Mystery Suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what is going to happen next. Once I started there was no putting it down. I pretty much tuned everything around me out and focused on this story. This is a fairly new author to me and I look forward to reading her other books. Detective Lexi works for a department that is working against her but that’s not stopping her from trying to bring a child killer to justice. She’s partnered with Detective Xavier who is there to determine if she’s truly capable of doing her job but things turn a bit intense. These two team up to solve the case while putting their lives in extreme jeopardy. As they go along they realize there’s more to the relationship . This story is packed with action mystery, secrets and much more. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can tell you, you won’t be disappointed I sure wasn’t.

Fall to Pieces is a tense romantic suspense that’s impossible to put down! Lexi’s career and mental health are threatened by the loss of her husband and the surrounding circumstances. When a new case turns up that reopens old wounds, just when she is being investigated by Internal Affairs, Lexi has to fight to cling on to her job and sanity. And, of course, solve the case.
Arthur Book is a chillingly scary villain. He’s an expert in manipulation and seems able to, literally, get away with murder. I found myself anxiously turning the page, worried about when he would next show up. And there are some twists and turns as Lexi tries to learn more about him to find a vulnerability she can exploit.
Lexi has a great support network, and I love this cast of characters. Trudy and Buzz were my particular favourites! They’re interesting characters in their own right and there to support Lexi or help further the plot where needed.
Xavier is an interesting character, and I like that he has complex motivations and a backstory. He makes a good foil to Lexi – grounded and reaching out to others while she tries to isolate herself.
This book gets five stars from me. I couldn’t put it down! I really hope we get more stories with these characters. I’d recommend it to fans of police dramas and mysteries.

This story was so good and a heart breaker at the same time. They both had gone through some of life’s tough challenges and had come out a little rough on the other side and then more crap was coming but he decided to be on her side. I found myself tearing up several times, smiling and rooting for them several times. An emotional story that will suck you in and you want to know how it turns out. The characters are relatable and the plot just won’t let you go. It’s a story that could happen anywhere around us. I would definitely recommend it. I want to read more from this author.

If you love a good mystery that keeps you turning the page, this one is it. A romance that bloomed out of an investigation and murder case kept it interesting. I loved the complexity of Lexi. Just when you think you have her pinned down personality-wise, she surprises you with something she says or does. Xavier Knight has been sent to investigate Lexi, and he isn’t ready for the situation. The author did a great job with building the relationship which comes across as very realistic. Just wow!

This was an amazingly written story.
This is a story of a woman on a mission and the back story of her dead husband, the guilt that fuels her.
There is mystery to the mystery and will she survive it.
Slow and tempting to just keep reading, and I was surprised at the ending.
How far would you go, what would you risk to catch a child killer?
To this female lead it can equal her life.
A gripping story to prove yourself and clear your conscience this was an amazing story.
Character development was spot on.
I look forward to reading more of this authors work.

Once I started reading this book I could not put it down. This book has everything you could possibly want including fantastic main characters in detective Alexandra Danvers and Detectice Xavier Knight, an intriguing plot, and great story building. Even though Alexandra is a window, she is resilient, protective, competent, professional, and protective. Enter Xavier Knight who is also very professional, and protective, but he’s undercover, reserved and very much a loner. The attraction between these two jumps off the pages, and makes the book so good you can’t put it down. The author did such a great job making this story feel so real that you really empathize with the characters, and you want justice for the victims. So if your looking for your next read pick this one up today.

Definitely don’t judge this book by its cover! On first look, I assumed this book would be a romance novel disguised as a mystery but boy was I wrong! Detective Alexandra Danvers is a strong female lead with a rough past who is on the hunt for justice, no matter the cost. She and her new partner, Xavier Knight, work together to get a child killer off the streets for good but there are many obstacles they must go through to do this. There are so many twists and turns in this novel, it was hard for me to put it down! I sincerely hope there is more to come from this author and Detective Danvers.

I loved this book, the story was compelling and kept you interested in more than one way! I was very curious to what would happen next, as well as how things unfolded, how things would lead to the next event in the plot. The author did an amazing job with these characters and the story line! Loved it!

For me my biggest thing I really loved how it came together was the growth of the characters. Not just as an individual, but as a group as well. To back that thought up, watching Lexi and Xavier grow as characters was amazing. Lexi I personally did not think too highly of her from my first impression, I will admit though that changed as I read through. Xavier I did instantly feel drawn to at the first glance. When these two were together working together, despite their differences, they grew as people within in each other as well! The author for sure had a strong ability to do that, it was very well done and realistic!

The story itself kept me very much interested. The dup was a nice addition to the plot as well. There was a lot of suspense for me regarding this book, which I loved! I found this book not all that predictable, even at moments where I thought I could guess the next event, I was mainly wrong haha. I loved how the author has written a smooth read which was defiantly a triumph of a story! Amazing read!

Wonderful read and very much well done writing. The author did a great job on this wonderful story and book they have created. I enjoyed the read as well as the adventure I got to partake on. I wish there was a continuation to this novel, as I did not want it to end. Highly recommend this enjoyable read!

I’ve got to say, from the first few pages of this book I did not think that I was going to like Lexi, I found her character too harsh and brash and a little bit off-putting, she jumped off the page a bit like a punch to the face. But as the story went on I guess I softened towards her, and as I learnt all the things she had been through, her feisty and blunt behaviour made sense.
I say all this because, honestly, good or bad reaction to a character, if a writer can really make me feel like they are real, then hats off to them and Flade’s characters felt real. Flawed and frustrating, annoying and harsh to each other but also resilient in the face of all the crap that gets thrown at them.

Lexi and Xavier (Did make with think of Professor X hehe) must work together to solve the murder of a boy but both of them are playing secret cards pretty close to their chests, especially Xavier whose real purpose for sticking so close to Lexi is making sure that she is doing her job properly. In spite of all the secrets and suspicions the pair find themselves developing feelings for each other, which means that things get pretty tangled and messy quickly.

Thoroughly enjoyed this read. Flade is pretty darn awesome at this whole penmanship malarky. Right from the first sentence, I was gripped by her characters and by the world she has created. A fabulous mystery and romance for you to sink your teeth into.

Fall to Pieces by Becky Flade.
This a new-to-me author, so I was excited to dive into her story and see what she could do. Being a romantic suspense, this book promised all the ingredients that I look for in an enticing read. The story is a well woven with a tight and intriguing plot. There’s a crime and investigation element, with mystery, drama, danger, chemistry, and plenty of sizzle.
Lexi is a homicide detective with the reputation of being a bit of a loose cannon. She is a woman on a mission as she pursues a child killer and is determined to take him down.
Xavier is on an undercover assignment to investigate whether Lexi is fit for duty. He is placed as her partner and things get interesting very quickly- what ensues makes for a very engrossing read.
This may have been my first read by this author, but it certainly won’t be my last!
Happy reading!

Thank you, Becky Flade!

This is a suspenseful thriller mystery with romantic tension thrown in. Lexi and Xavier are well developed characters that I just could not help loving.

There is nothing I like better than a little romance, a little intrigue, a little heartbreak and a lot of heat. This story had all that and more. A masterful and mysterious web was woven and the details were very descriptive, while leaving the characters well developed. The leading lady was a feisty detective with a lot of weight on her shoulders. The leading man is the ultimate match and has a toe the line, professional manner. A myriad of emotions rolled along throughout the book and the senses were heightened by the passion, intense attraction, guilt, and a deep sense of duty and finding justice. An accomplished yet nerve racking romantic suspense that ticks all the boxes. 4 stars.

So what do you do when you find a dead body on the first day with your new partner Xavier? I was pulled in from the first page and have already recommended it to friends.

Detective Alexandra Danvers is on a mission to find a child killer. Dealing with her husbands death, hostility to others, depression, and being ostracized by her department she has the odds against her. When she is newly partnered with Detective Xavier Knight things turn a bit romantic but are also fueled with suspense. Xavier is there to determined Lexi’s ability to effectively do her job, but he also ends up helping her with this case. As these 2 team up together they are risking life and limb to solve this case, but also finding that there is more to their relationship along the way.

This book was a great thriller. There were many twists and turns that you could not, and did not see coming in this story. There were also a lot of emotions attached to this book. Both main characters had a lot to overcome and you could feel a lot of the sadness from both ends.
