Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) By Nicole Banks. Just as shattering at book one, I was completely hooked from page one again. I highly recommend reading these in order. Once again this author writes on a subject most can’t even think about. And did a great job of it, the strength the author gives the characters blows me away. Jasmine is one of my favorite female characters this year, she come back to herself from the unthinkable. And we could all use a little Angel in our life. These two had me captured in their world. I love the multi POV it makes the story fuller. I’m so excited to read the next one. Well written and paced nicely, with incredible characters. Five stars all the way!

I’m not sure exactly where to begin with this one. There is just so much to this story! I fell in love with these people in book 1 and that carried on into book 2, only much, much deeper! My emotions were all over the place. Love, hate, anger, frustration, betrayal, shock…I’m fairly certain that at several points while reading this book my heart ACTUALLY STOPPED! It felt like it was being ripped right out of my chest! This author gives you absolutely everything.

The chemistry between the characters is off the charts. Angel and Jasmine. Kate and Chase. You find yourself rooting for them, cheering them on, feeling their emotions as intimately as if they were your own. We finally find out the answers to many of the questions that were hanging from book one, but be prepared! You may not want to know them all! Some of these truths will hurt…and quite frankly make you want to punch the author in the face at times! LOL!

I don’t want to say too much about the story and give anything away. If you love well developed characters, romance, and suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat, then start reading! Just make sure you read book one, Shattered, first. Nicole Banks has quickly become a go to author for me and I will most definitely be reading anything she puts out! I can’t wait to start book 3 of this series and see where this journey is going to take me next!

By Nicole Banks
5 out of 5 stars!

Nicole Banks has once again entranced me into the lives of Jasmine and Angel as they struggle not to fall apart as they stumble through hell. This second book told me more about each character and the ways that they impact the story as a whole. I was treated to a more personal side of the lives and love shared between Jasmine and Angel. This book took me on a ride from one end of the emotional roller coaster to the other while keeping me on the edge of my seat.
I highly recommend this book! There is some sexual content so this read is absolutely for mature audiences only. Grab your copy today and join me and other readers on a wonderful Nicole Banks journey.

I have read a few books from this author and she keeps on surprising me. I absolutely love her writing style. She makes you feel like you are in the book with these characters. This is the second book in the shattered heart series. You do have to read the first book or you will be lost. I was so excited when I got this book I dropped everything and started to read it immediately. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible book.

Jasmine and Angle are so happy that they found each other again. They are giving this relationship a huge try. Jasmine is still fighting her demons from that horrible night long ago. When she starts getting crazy texts she knows something is up. She goes to one of her friends for help but she doesn’t know that he is helping her demon. Jasmine thinks she can handle this herself but she doesn’t realize how close her past is to her. She goes to Angle but he also has past demons he is trying to get through. Will Jasmine and Angle be able to stop their demons or will it be too late?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, suspense, and some mystery. You can’t help but to fall in love with these characters once again. Jasmine is a very tough woman but she wants to be loved. Angle is willing to do whatever it takes to see Jasmine happy. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. There is also a couple of scenes that may trigger some readers. This book is for a mature audience. I can’t wait to see what will happen next.

Into Pieces is another fantastic addition to the Shattered Hearts Series, this series is not to be missed at all. I was completely and utterly captivated with this read just as much as the first, but there was something different about this read in the case of it feeling like it went deeper, the emotions that run through this book are so deep and real you can’t help but feel as though you are there alongside the characters or even if you were feeling all the emotions yourself.

This book is made even better by the fact it’s written in dual POV’s it really helps you connect more with the characters and also understand what they really are thinking and feeling.
These books are so captivating & real it’s a book that you can’t wait to delve into every time. I cant wait to see what else is to come to this series and I look forward to another read by this incredible author.

UGH!! Where do I even start with Into Pieces? First of all, I cannot say enough good things about this book but I will start with the gorgeous cover! If I hadn’t already read book one I would have grabbed this novel without even knowing what it was about. I had to have this book once I finished book one, Shattered. I was lucky in that I read that only recently so I didn’t have the dreaded wait it seems for some, a thing I am glad about.

This book really reached the high expectations that book one set and actually for me in some ways exceeded it. I loved the dark almost thriller like undertone that kept me intrigued and on my toes as I fell in love with Jas and Angel. These two really tore me apart, literally ‘into pieces and slowly put me back together. Its beautifully written even in the dark parts. I can’t wait to see what we will get with book three. I can only expect that it will be just as fabulous as the first two.

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) by Nicole Banks is the second book in the Shattered Hearts Series and a book I couldn’t put down till the end. This is the continuation of Jasmine and Angel’s story. I do recommend reading the first book if you haven’t already. Both feel broken and are dealing with demons.There is definitely attraction and chemistry between them. Will they learn to trust each other? Can they have a future together? I found myself at times on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happens next. Find out what happens next. I highly recommend reading this book. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) by Nicole Banks. This is the second book in this series and its amazing. Fair warning, It’s not for the faint of heart. Its the continuation of Jasmine and Angel’s story. This book is better than story 1 because you get more in to the emotional side. Jasmine is becoming a stronger women in this book and Angel just wants to help her heal from the past. The horrible event that happened to her is still causing her pain but she is trying to heal and move on. Angel is trying to get over the guilt of feeling like he should have done more to save her from the attack. We are introduced to another couple in this book that I hope to read more about; Chase & Kris. They seem super fun! I just can’t wait for the next book to see how Jasmine & Angel have grown as a couple.

Amazing read! I loved the first book. And you must know you cannot read these out of order!
I love these 2 main characters and the secondary ones as well, but Angel and Jasmine are kind of my favorite right now. They’ve been through so much apart and now they are trying to navigate how to be a couple without unloading all their baggage onto the other for fear of setbacks or scaring off the other.
Lots of things happen in this book and it had me turning pages so fast to read all the words.
Great read can’t wait to see what happens with the next book with this group.

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) by Nicole Banks continues from book 1 and I must say I enjoyed this part of the story than the first. It is well written and it is about real life problems and the angst of love. It is a story where all your emotions are out on display right along with the characters. The characters are more developed and you could feel that Nicole really put her emotions in them as well. This heart wrenching, soul searing and yet beautiful story will leave you wanting more. It also features our next couple in the romance department and it will be just as interesting read I am sure as this one was.

Jasmine and Angel and finally got their shit together and decided to work as a couple but as we all know falling in love and nothing is ever a walk in the park. They still have a lot of work to do on themselves and as we know taking a good hard look at yourself in the mirror is never a pleasant thing. Just when Jas thought her life was safe the horrors of her past are once again front and centre and taking its hold of her and threatening everyone she loves and her own sanity.

I look forward to reading Chases’ and Kris’ story next, I just know it will blow us away.

Into Pieces is the conclusion to Jasmine and Angel’s story. This time around, Banks lets out all the demons that could possibly break Jasmine and Angel, together and separately. Their pasts are hard to read about but the story as a whole is easy to read as the plot moves quickly and sometimes unexpectedly. Banks ended the first book in this series with a twisted cliffhanger and this one is no different. I loved how even though this was Jasmine and Angel’s story we get to read about how Kris and Chase may one day get together! They are pretty hot themselves.

I recommend this story and can’t wait to read more about in this series and any other stories Banks may write!

OMG I loved this book, it was even better than the 1st one and I loved that one. This one brought out all kinds of emotions and fears and feelings.

This picked up right after book 1 and gave us so much, Im really loving the multiple pov’s. I wasn’t sure but I sincerely think I could read every book in that way. There’s no guessing about anyone and this author did it in a way you were never confused. This one delved a whole lot deeper into all the moving parts of this story and these characters, and that is another reason I love these books, you have your 2 main but you also get invested in many of the other characters as well.

I read this in one sitting because I sincerely could not put it down and in some spots I wasn’t sure if I could read it fast enough all the while not wanting it to end. I already have the next on my kindle and I’m so so so excited for that story, I already miss all of these people and I just finished this book.

I must add that you have to read these in order, I can’t imagine not having book 1 under my belt before reading this one or the next.

Many Thanks to this author for giving me another favorite series for this year, and another that I will definitely reread in the future.

Loved it!

Into Pieces by Nicole Banks is the second book in the Shattered Hearts series. You do need to read these books in order as this story is the first continuation of the story we began in book one.
This book does so much more for the characters then even the first one did. For me the first book was so emotional due to the nature of it. However this book showed the complexity and depth that the characters have and this leads on you on a such a journeys
The author really takes you for a ride as well. There are so Lang his and downs you really begin to questions whether or not this couple will make it. This is a brilliant book and I think everyone should read it.

Into Pieces is the second book in the Shattered Hearts Series by Nicole Banks. This is a continuation of Jasmine and Angels story that we started in book one. This book doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, it is a fairly simple story- but it’s the characters and the emotional content which carry the story- with so much emotional content, this story really tugs at your heartstrings- all while we traverse all of the highs and lows alongside our main character. They have been through so much, and both have demons of their own to deal with- and I thought perhaps they may have it a little easier in this book- but Ms. Banks certainly made them ‘work for it’ as they faced their past and demons. They have grown, but haven’t yet learned to fully trust, or let down their barriers.
This book has a more raw, sinister, and suspenseful feel to it than the first- which gave it a little more intrigue for me- that, coupled with the emotional, angsty storyline makes this book my favourite so far.
Bring on book #3!

Thank you, Ms. Banks!

By: Nicole Banks
My Rating: 3 of 5 stars

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) by Nicole Banks was an okay read that kept me reading.

The second book in this raw emotional read, it picks up where the last book left off. Following these characters over from that first book, which I did have some issues with, I was hoping that the MC’s would mature. As the two major subjects that this book covers, I was hoping for something more. As a serving member and a supervisor, I’ve seen, and have had to assisted with the issues persistent in this book. There were times that the author had it, I could see the growth, but there were others that I just sat back and shook my head. I still have problems with Angel, and I just, can’t get over the way he acted at times.

Overall this book wasn’t bad, the author does a wonderful job at expressing the characters emotions. Not just the MC’s but the side characters as well. The plot line is compelling, as we get more into the demons that both MC’s have and are carrying. That raw emotion is what kept me reading. Writing like that is hard to come by. So please take my recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get caught up in this feels invoking read.

Happy Reading.

really really wanted to continue to enjoy this series. I just couldn’t. I don’t want to spoil the story for others so this will he a a spoiler free review.

INTO PIECES is the second book in the “Shattered Hearts Series” and begins almost exactly where part one left off. I would not recommend reading this as a standalone. There are a LOT of moving parts.

Told in multiple POVs, we are able to “hear” the inner workings of a character’s thought process. While this was an enjoyable way to read Book 1, in Book 2 it bothered me a LOT.

This book was simply not my cup of tea and I always appreciate when an author puts words on paper for the world to read.

I am invested enough that I will be reading book 3 of there series.

Shattered (Shattered Hearts Series Book 1) By Nicole Banks. This book is so aptly named because I definitely felt shattered while reading this story. I’m such a huge fan of stories that have the main characters going through hard to speak about subjects. But the author does a wonderful job of writing about subjects that can be haunting. This book may have triggers but it’s also a beautiful story of second chances and coming back from the worst circumstances. It’s told in multiple points of view which I love because I think it gives a fuller picture of what’s happening. Jasmine and Angel have a connection that I still fill even after finishing the last page. I can’t wait to see where the author takes readers next. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. With characters that I won’t soon forget. Five stars all the way!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an excellent start to the Shattered Hearts Series! I actually read this book twice in the matter of a week. While this story revolves around Jasmine and Angel, it ultimately is the story of a group of friends that have known each other forever and there are so many things going on, I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything before I start book 2!

Angel swore he would always be there for Jasmine. Since childhood, he has been her protector. But once he joins the marines, he can no longer uphold his promise and tragedy strikes, not only in Jasmine’s life but also in his own. Years later he returns home to find everything has changed. Jasmine is no longer the happy, innocent young girl he left, but a full grown woman that he can’t seem to resist. But there is too much baggage between the two of them that keeps pulling them apart. They each have one single act, one single moment in their lives that has irrevocably changed them. That has made one stop trusting others and one stop trusting themselves. One moment, that when it returns to your thoughts, terrifies you enough that it takes you to the depths of hell and back over and over – in your daydreams and in your nightmares. Can they fight their way through it all and finally be together? Or is it all just too much?

This book takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. You can feel the pain and suffering. You can feel it in your heart when they smile. And this is not the end. There is so much more to explore. What about Kate and Chase? What is Tony’s deal? Who is Marcus? I can’t wait to find out all the answers in the next two books in this series! I am completely emotionally invested in the lives of all these characters. Nicole Banks has me hooked!

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. I was so happy when this talented author came out with a new series. This is the first book in the Shattered Heart series and it was a perfect beginning. I was so excited for this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. Once I started I could not stop. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible story.

Angle is finally home safe and sound from the war. He has a lot of guilt in his heart due to the past. Angle is home to find a new beginning and her. He can’t stop thinking about Jasmine. She is always on his mind. Angle knows that it is wrong because she deserves so much better than him. He can’t help himself but when Jasmine starts telling her secrets, that’s when his true nightmare begins. Will these two broken souls find peace in each other or will their pasts destroy them both?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, suspense, and forgiveness. You can’t help but fall in love with these characters. Angle had a very hard life but he learned from his mistakes. He would do anything to make Jasmine happy even leave her for good. Jasmine is a very strong character. She had something really devastating happen to her that rock her world. Jasmine has a lot of trust issues but will she finally be able to trust someone with her heart? These two characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This author will have you at the edge of your seats until the end. I can’t wait to read more of this series.

An amazing read by Nicole Banks, Shattered took me for a ride of emotions.
I immediately loved Jasmine, and knew from the start what happened to her but wanted to actually “hear” it from her to know for sure.
And Angel, oh what a tormented soul. The protector, the rule follower, the man who wants what he feels he can’t have.
I really enjoyed this book, I absolutely NEED the next one because I need to know what happens next.

This is my first book by this author and don’t have any idea why…It was amazing, it did take me a few pages to get fully immersed into the story but once it grabbed me it did not let go and I already can not wait to open the next in this series and see what is still in store for Jasmine and Angel. Things were just getting good when this book ended and Thank goodness the next one is waiting for me on my kindle.

The back and forth between these characters was rough to read, so much blame being doled out not at anyone but themselves and I can’t even imagine what Jas had been through and then the loss they all had to endure. I really loved getting the POV’s of many different characters instead of just one or two, I haven’t read many books like that and I sincerely enjoyed that part.

I highly recommend this book and as I’ve already stated can not wait to dive in to the next, I love the writing style and the flow, I could not believe I had finished so quickly.

Son of a…who writes such a build-up and then wham…thanks for reading…ugh!!!! I love to hate cliff hangers! And boy oh boy did Nicole Banks write the most epic cliffy!!! This is my first book by Banks and I cannot wait for the next one!

Jasmine and Angel were friends growing up. Angel went into the military while Jasmine was left at home with a madman. They stayed in contact even through the most horrific of times. Neither sharing those horrors with the other. Their friendship is put to the test when they realize the heat between them is so much more than just friends. Their love is tested even before they realize it’s love!

This story could have triggers for people in similar situations but for everyone else hang on for a wild ride!

Shattered (Shattered Hearts #1)Shattered by Nicole Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shattered (Shattered Hearts Series Book 1) by Nicole Banks is a great romance story that was full of emotions that are at times stifling. There is angst and fear, hurt and love, fragility and vulnerability, horror and sadness as we watch our characters reflect on the past and how it is affecting them now. The heartache and pain these characters are going through broke my heart. These two young people had been through so much in their short lives that they are so broken and realise just how much they need each other to heal. This story is told in multiple POV’s which gives us a better look at these complex yet simplistic loving young people. Nicole has done a wonderful job in taking us on this journey and has portrayed them will real feelings that make you want to take them in and hug them. Everything they feel, you feel right along with them. I also loved the banter that went on amongst this group of friends which often had me laughing along with them. Then we feel the tension and the explosive sizzle between Angel and Jas that jumps right of the page.

Jas is a former shell of herself since she went through something so horrible that it broke her and she doesn’t know how to fight her way back. The one person she needed was not there when she needed him, wasn’t there to protect her, wasn’t there to love her. But now he is back and can he be the one she needs? Can he be the one to love her and help her find her true self once again?

Angel is good at walking away and now he finds out that the one person he came home for is dealing with something that has left her broken. He so desperately wants to help her but doesnt know how and doesn’t know how to help himself. Can he truly be the man that she needs? Will he learn her secret?

I read this book in one sitting because I could not put it down. This is a great start to the series. When I got to the end of the book I wanted to slap Nicole because I need to know who, I need to know what happens and I was left hanging. Well played Ms Banks. I need the follow on book NOW!

Never give up! When all else fails and you have nothing left to lose, go for it! Ms. Banks’ writing left me entranced ad raw with emotion. From the very first chapter, I was drawn into the nightmare that is Jasmine’s life. The fears and dread to the love and lust between Angel and Jasmine pulled me deeper into the story. I just had to know what happened next.
This is a real page turner that left me hanging. I am excited to get into the next two books of the series.

By: Nicole Banks
My Rating: 3 of 5 stars

Shattered (Shattered Hearts Series Book 1) by Nicole Banks was an okay read, that is heavy on the emotions and drama.

A little out of my normal comfort zone, I went into this book with an open mind. I like the flow and the multi POV’s, each character had a distinct voice and the transitions were smooth and noticeable. The voices didn’t blend, which is hard to do with more than two POV’s; so props to the author for that.

I like the overall plot, but there are a few things that bother me. I didn’t like the push and pull, sure at first it was expected, and I wasn’t bothered by it, as both Angel and Jasmine are heavily scarred. I didn’t like how long it went on, the lack of honesty, and the immatureness of their growing relationship. They were childhood friends, but acted more like “old not close friends”. I was waiting for more from them, and I was let down in that regard. Also, as the story went on, I wasn’t too please with the way Angel was acting.

Overall this book is a good read, it has many complex elements that are multi layered, and full of raw emotions. I am going to be reading the second book, as this one does end on a cliffy. This book gets my recommendation and stamp of approval, so please give this book a chance, as it has a compelling story of learning to trust, and picking up the shattered pieces.

Happy Reading

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am not new to Nicole Banks but this new series was a delightful surprise from her. Shattered is the first book in the Shattered Heart Series and I see promise of fabulous characters and romantic trysts to to come, much like this one was.

In Shattered we get to find out all about Angel and Jasmine and see how they handle life and the many obstacles that can plague a newly home serviceman. Angel returns from the Marines with some guilt and past demons that just won’t let up on him. When he meets Jasmine everything seems a bit easier to handle for him and he finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. Jasmine also has her past and emotional standoffs that will come into play. I love how Nicole Banks shared their story from multiple points of views. It kept the story flowing quickly and made it multidimensional. These two were not my absolute favorite couple of all time but the story was rich enough that I wasn’t left wanting anything. I look forward to seeing what else will come in the next few books. Thanks for the fabulous read Ms. Banks!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered by Nicole Banks is book one of the Shattered Hearts series. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I honestly didn’t know what to expect but I was blown away.

Jas has not had it easy the last few years. The one person she feels she can talk to other than her best friend Kris is actually coming back home. Neither Jas nor Angel were ready for what that meant for their relationship. They both have a lot of things to work through as long as they can let each other in.

I absolutely loved this book. I can’t wait to see what is in store for the rest of the series!

Shattered (Shattered Hearts #1)Shattered by Nicole Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

SHATTERED is the first book in the “Shattered Hearts Duet”. It is a fast N/A story about friends and family. There are moments that change everyone’s lives and finding a new normal can sometimes be difficult to navigate.

I really liked the way the story was told in many different POVs, there is even a chapter told from “Angel’s father’s” point of view. I think it made an extremely intriguing way to read. The chapters are short yet full if dialog and details. I never felt bogged down by too much descriptive writing. There wasn’t any filler.

The character development is good, the story moves at a good pace and I am definitely grabbing the second book of the duet to follow their journey further. The suspense was perfect.

I would recommend this for my older younger cousins as there are a few open door sex scenes.
