Tattered Book Blog: Blog Tour and Giveaway: Picking Up the Pieces by Elizabeth Hayley

After a myriad of mistakes and a devastating breakup, Lily Hamilton is no longer the impulsive, selfish person she had once been. Now, she longs for the chance to make it up to the one person she knows holds the key to her happiness. But can he get beyond who she was and love her for who she is now? Or is history destined to repeat itself?

Adam Carter has gone through his own metamorphosis. His days of serial monogamy are long gone, and he's been burying his hurt by dating women he has no intention of committing to. But when he sees Lily for the first time in months, he's reminded of the man he used to be; the man he wants to try and be again--for her.

Max Samson is on the downward spiral from hell. Drinking and meaningless sex have taken over his life once again, causing him to revert back to the man he'd been before Lily fell into his life. But when his mother invites Lily back into his world, he suddenly remembers how good it felt to have her there. Even if he might not get to keep her.

Find out how Lily gets her happily ever after in this final installment of her story. This book is recommended for mature audiences due to language and unbelievably awesome sexual content.

I have been waiting for this book for what seems like FOREVER! Finally, we get to know each of Lily, Adam and Max’s fates. Believe me when I say you will NOT be disappointed. This book is so fantastic, I'd give it 100 stars if I could.

When we last left Lily she was juggling two men, one was the perfect guy you take home to mom, Adam. The other was the hot guy you keep locked up in your bedroom, Max. When both men finally found out about each other, Lily was left alone with a broken heart and the reader was left with a question of her fate.

In Picking up the Pieces, Lily does just that. She picks up the pieces of her life after heartbreak and tries to rebuild her broken relationships. By spending the whole summer finding herself, and trying to figure out the answer to the big question of which guy she truly loves and wants to be with?

I loved the characters in this book, minus Adam. I just cannot get into his character. He pisses me off and reminds me of that overprotective, jealous asshole we've all dated at one point in our lives. I guess it goes without saying that I'm Team Max. He can do no wrong in my eyes. That man is a walking, talking sex god who could make any girl cream her undies.

Elizabeth Hayley provides the perfect mix of romance, wit, comedy and angst. They are one of my favorite up and coming authors and I cannot wait for more books by them. They're amazing and I love them. So will you!

Rating:

Elizabeth Hayley is actually "Elizabeth" and "Hayley," two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. The product is Pieces of Perfect, their debut novel. They learned a ton about one another through the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to text each other constantly (much to their husbands' chagrin).

"Elizabeth" lives with her husband, one and a half year old daughter, and nutjob of a dog. “Hayley” lives with her husband and their own crazy dog. They are hoping to adopt a newborn soon.

Elizabeth Hayley's writing motto is best captured by the words of Patrick Dennis: "I always start with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind."
