Pieces of Us

Rate this book
There's a time in life where you need to be selfish.

A time where you need to make a sacrifice.

A point in life where you find yourself at a crossroads.

Knowing that whichever path you choose, someone will end up hurting.

I'm stuck with this predicament.

Am I selfish enough not to care?

Or am I selfless enough to sacrifice my own happiness? Hurting the only man that had me--body and soul.

I don’t know why I like torturing myself with this kind of story. A plot that is so annoying, characters that are very exasperating, borderline stupid and romance that is so shallow YET I read it all. *sighs*

GRRRRR...fuck off with this bullshit that parents can use their empty nest depression to make their children stay home. The h‘s family is so wrong to ask this of her. What about the depression of your child unable to spread their wings and fly??? To live THEIR life??? Just cuz you can’t cut the strings???

I have a 19yo with Aspergers. I rented a neighbor’s garage apartment for him just so he wouldn’t have to live with me. So he could have some sense of autonomy. Even tho it freaks me the fuck out. Cuz COVID. But THAT lets him have a life and I miss those fucking strings...but...Wings. Fly.

We also don’t solve that subplot by knocking up the empty nester 40+ yo mom so that her child will be an aunt/uncle on BOTH SIDES OF THE FAMILY to the children of H/h. Seriously??? Jerry Springer much??? Not to mention just plain solving the mom’s separation depression by having another child.

The angst was great. But there so many little things that just went by the wayside into nothingness.

The absolute worst offenses were no one ever knowing the OW wife blackmailed the h from 3rd grade on and never knowing WHY OR IF he kissed the OW in 3rd grade the day after the h. He’d told the h he loved her and wanted to be her BF. I know this sounds petty, but it’s fucking pivotal to the plot. The details are murky and you wonder why he would do that. And more importantly...WHY they never addressed it in the present. Because according to the h they never discussed any of it. But it drove her ENTIRE behavior.

By the end, I just felt robbed. It just fucking ended. So much shit was left open and without closure. The last POV is the H. And they way it goes. I feel like it’s implying so much is left to come. Maybe I read it wrong TWICE or maybe it’s just shit storytelling.

2.5 STARS~
I'm a huge fan of Pamela Ann, I've read all her books and have loved them all...that being said, I was really disappointed with both Pieces of You and Me and Pieces of Us. With Pieces of You and Me, I fell hard for Grey and as such wanted him to be happy, even if it was Olivia. But with Pieces of Us, I found myself getting extremely frustrated with Grey. He was cold, distant, and oftentimes cruel. And while I understand that he was hurting, that doesn't excuse the hateful, hurtful things he said and did to Olivia.

Olivia, on the other hand, annoyed me from the beginning and my frustration with her just continued to multiply as she continually proved that she had no self-respect. The way she allowed Grey to cheat on his wife with her, letting him speak to her as if she were a whore, and continually allowing her pride prevent her from having an open dialogue with Grey about anything that she was feeling had me wanting to throttle her!!

These two eviscerated each other, only to come back together time and time again. It got to be too much, I found myself rushing to be done with Grey & Olivia...these crazy two deserve each other, and I deserve a medal for making myself finish the book so that my record of reading all of Pamela Ann's books stays in tact...had it not been for that I would have marked this one as a big fat DNF.

I really enjoyed the first book but the second was kind of a let down, here's why :

SPOILERS (bc hey that's a review therefore duhhh)

1. Grey never learnt how much of a bitch Edith was : the blackmailing and threatening.
2. Therefore Grey never learnt why Liv did what she did : to protect her father

Or maybe he did, don't know I might have not DNF but still skipped some parts notsorry

3. The sex scenes felt like rape scenes, even if Liv "enjoyed" it and bla COME ON the guy forced himself onto her, there was even one time she was drunk how is that consensual sex blehh
4. Grey never really apologized, not the way he should have at least. And he never seemed to consider any thing he had done was wrong. BUT DAMN HE FUCKED UP AND IF LIV WAS RIGHT IN HER MIND SHE WOULD HAVE SMACKED THE SHIT OUT OF HIM

I mean come on you can love someone and not say yes to everything. Liv was always weak when it came to sex/Grey (synonyms) : if anyone was like that in real life I would tell them to go consult a psy.

5. Not enought Jet, not enough secondary characters

Again bc I fastread some parts : the undercover who saved her, did we ever get to know who that was? I mean why mention "we have yet to know who that person is." and then pooh nada.?


So it's a three stars for me : it wasn't badly written, I still enjoyed it despite what I wrote above, I got my hea!

Ugh. Talk about wasting two great characters. This book was worse than the first. It was all over the place and there were all of these big secrets and mysteries that NEVER came out. What's that about?? I don't get it. This was like someone took 15 different submissions from different people and molded them together to build a story. It was confusing to read/finish because there was such potential with the plot and characters.

a big WTF about this book, the first one was great and this one was just awful and crude it was so so vulgar... they didn't even talk about why she broke up with him in the first place in third grade at all they will still live with that and the fact that Edith didn't get confronted about it really WTF...

I was kind of disappointed In the ending.
Also, I don't feel comfortable about him cheating on his wife. Yes, I know it was a sham of a marriage. I just hate the idea. Yes, I understand it's complicated but either way he was married.

Everything else was great!

Edith should have died. Like, seriously. Excruciating death and all. I cannot believe Grey was so blind to her manipulations and lies - she got away too easy!!

4 stars!!

I was standing in front of McDonalds, waiting for a friend (an hour late) and I just felt the urge to read this novel. I had the book since yesterday, I was so friggin excited to read it and the moment that I had it, I didn't feel like reading it anymore, I mean, 'yet'. I didn't touch the novel for a day, I didn't even peek. So, back to McDonalds, I was reading around 5% of the story and I was on the fucking edge! I was squeezing my legs, not because of a hot scene, I don't know, I feel like I'm protected from a bomb that way, weird. Oh, and I know for sure someone saw me shivering *goosebumps* coz I did, too many times!!!

Oh! Before I read the novel, I peeked, like I always do just to check that it's not a cliffie and it's HEA! And I also searched for a few words like 'pregnant', the T word (which is what I usually search for) and of course 'married' and the results were devastating!!! I was so damn pissed, and I friggin hate Edith! I don't even know what I looked like, hoped I didn't scare any customers away.

When Greyson got married, I though that she would end up miserable, she kinda did but with the help of Liam, she was able to have some little fun or 'outlet' to forget Greyson. I was actually hoping for Liv and Liam to get married, and of course, it's to get back at Greyson! He became an asshole! I mean, he asked her to wait somewhere inside the church, but then he was in front of the friggin altar waiting for that stupid whore!!! gahhhhhhhh!!!

I kinda felt bad that their parents won't be able to get married... awww!! such great parents...

I love the characters and the story, so why dafuq did I give it 4 stars?!?! Why you ask!??! it's friggin' short!!! I've waited months!! and this is all I get? a 6 to 7 hour-long novel? arghhh well,shit, I hope UNVEILED wouldn't be as short as this coz I've waited WAYYYY longer for it.

I know it's easy for the author to write more about Greyson and Liv, so please!! I know this is a duet, but I hope you change your mind... 2 books ain't enough for Greyson and Liv's story!! I want them to get married, have children, etc!!! But it's fine if you don't, maybe write a short novel? whatever!

'CHERRIES ARE RED
BALLS AREN'T BLUE
SOMEDAY, I WILL HEAR YOU SAY, I DO'

Shit! I would loooooooove to see them get.... i'm gonna shut up now, this is a duet, a DUET!

P.S Please, for the love of God! Release UNVEILED now!!! Scorned was released way before Pieces of Me & You and yet Pieces of Us was released earlier than UNVEILED!!! GRRRR!!!!

*5 Stars*

Pamela Ann has such a talent for writing stories filled with love, passion and lots and lots of drama! To me, that formula make some of the best books. I’ve been looking forward to this book for a while and it did not disappoint!

Pieces of Us (Book 2) is a continuation of Pieces of You and Me (Book 1). If you haven’t read Book 1, you need to read it before reading this.

Pieces of Us starts where Book 1 left off. Greyson is about to marry Edith. Olivia overhears Greyson and Edith talking right before the wedding and knows that this is it. She and Greyson are over so she decides to go back to Australia. While she’s in Australia, she ends up spending time with Liam again. He is still completely in love with her. Liam convinces Olivia to go back home for Christmas to spend some time with her mom. He also accompanies her back to the states.

During that visit, things just fall apart for Olivia. She is convinced to stay in the states and Liam ends up going back to Australia. Olivia and Grayson decides to hop on the craziest roller coaster in the park. They had me so frustrated with the way they were acting throughout the entire book. I have never read about to people who need to get their stuff together as bad as these two. There was so much back and forth between these two and I just wasn’t sure what was going to happen between them until I finished the book. I loved every minute of this book and I was very happy with the ending.

Pamela Ann seriously put me through the ringer while I was reading this, but that is what I love about her writing. She always makes you feel every emotion her characters are going through. I am recommending this one.

I really liked Pieces of You and Me. This book was good as well but I was a little disappointed. Edith was the still vindictive person she always was - that hadn't changed. I still can't understand how Greyson never saw that. I think Olivia should have fought more and done more to keep Greyson. I think one thing that should have happened in this book was all of what Edith did to Olivia should have found the light of day. She deserves to reep what she sows. Yeah she's got cancer and is possibly dying but that's not good enough for all that she deserves. Olivia is broken hearted in this and Greyson is married. But he's not the same. He married Edith because she was dying and he figured it was the right thing to do. But you shouldn't marry someone unless you are truly in love with them. I also don't understand how Edith is so vindictive and has done the things she has and she finally just releases Greyson without trying to get Olivia out of the picture for good.

But I still liked that Olivia and Greyson were meant to be together. Even with terrible things happening to both of them - they still can't help being drawn and pulled to the other. The book is definitely worth reading. I do enjoy Pamela Ann's books - I just expected a couple of things from this book but I still thought it was a good book and ended how I wanted it to end.

What a douche-bag. Actually the hero and heroine deserve each other because they are both Unlikeable little kids playing at grown up.

There is no character development because the hero is someone who holds a grudge against the heroine for breaking his heart when he was like 10 or 11 and the heroine is just as Unlikeable because she is an immature girl who wants the hero to lavish her with his love and prove over and over again how much he loves her yet she acts nonchalant.

it's only when she's about to lose him (or loses him to another girl) that she wants him....again.

childish. This book wasn't for me. Unlikeable h and h

Pieces of Us was an emotionally charged read that left me drained as it enveloped me in pain, angst, regret, loss, love, raw passion and yearning for Oliva and Greyson to finally get their hea. These two stubborn lovers just belonged together. Olivia had made so many mistakes with Greyson, coming to understand what she truly shared with Greyson dawned on her too late, leading them both on the path to unbearable suffering, regret and a constant turmoil of emotions as they tried to fight off their attraction, get over one another, and move on with their lives facing the forced conditions they placed on themselves and their future. Greyson's love for Olivia never faltered no matter how much he said he hated her or tried to get her out of his system, he breathed for her and lived for her, whilst Olivia took longer to finally accept that Greyson was the only man for her. I loved Greyson because he was so in love with Olivia, after everything she put him through, his primal need for her, his possessiveness, the way he treated her with disdain as he spewed hateful words at her, but he still took what he claimed to be his, all tugged at my heart because the guy was broken, miserable, sexy and passionate as hell. There were so many seriously hot scenes between Oliva and Greyson in Pieces of Us that I had to fan myself down, the excitement kept bubbling to the surface to see how the story unfolded. I loved Liam and I really felt for the sexy Aussie, Jet was his usual brilliant self pulling at Greyson's weakness lol! This was such a beautiful romantic angst love story by Pamela Ann, I adored her writing style as her characters and words just captured my love for them. I gave this a four star rating and not a five for a few reasons even though I loved it, as I felt that if this was supposed to be the conclusion to this duet it was a big let down, because it left the reader with so many unanswered questions and lack of explosive confrontations, which would have brought the rating to five star for me. One, it didn't uncover the truth whether Olivia's father was gay or not, which was a big factor in Olivia's decision in breaking up with Greyson in book one, as Edith threatened Olivia to spread rumours and showed her a grainy photo which resembled her father if she didn't leave Greyson. The fact that Edith's behaviour and manipulation was never confronted by either Olivia or Greyson was a further insult, why build the reader up to this from the first book only to be still left clueless and now angry. I agreed with another reviewer that the happy moments together were too few, and overshadowed by angst, as a reader I craved for those happy moments and I just got more anxious and filled with dread as the remaining pages showed so proudly on my kindle, making me feel robbed. I really wanted to see how Greyson's friends behaved around them as a couple, especially Jet as he'd witnessed his friend's pain and always had their back. The hea was no great reveal into their future in fact it just left me unsatisfied with a no that seriously can't be the end, when their journey had only just began argh! I would love to read more on Olivia and Greyson as this has been one of my favourite 2014 and first reads by Pamela Ann, not to mention future book requests please, on Liam and Jet as they were also amazing alpha men who deserve some of their own attention as well! I am left feeling the full effects of book hangover and not sure which new book can cure this after reading Pieces of Us, especially with it still tugging at my heart and not wanting to let the characters go without a better conclusion to their story and hea!

PIECES OF US by Pamela Ann ~ Cami's Review

 photo 20588918_zps793d54e6.jpg



Finally!!! I finally found some time to reconnect with my main man Greyson!
Everyone knows my love for Pamela Ann's writing style. I crave the angst she brings to the story and her characters always have a way of making me immediately fall in love with them.


 photo Fotor0612194359_zpse4343c18.png



We now find Liv brokenhearted and back in Australia with Liam after attending the wedding of Grey and Edith. Liam is determined to get her back and trying to seduce her out of her loneliness. Liv does decide to go back for Christmas, but once there she is tortured by the intimacy of the newlywed couple.
Of course Edith is her same manipulative evil self throughout the story and as much as I love Grey, he did piss me off a bit.
What ensues is a love/hate relationship until a dramatic event causes Grey to realize how much Liv means to him.

Now, I was left with questions at the end and there may have been a certain someone I was hoping would get more backlash than they got. But with that being said, I loved the angst, I loved the writing style and I loved the story!

First off, on the 1st book I gave it 3 stars and it got in my nerves. Well, this book is defiantly a lot better and I enjoyed it so much more.

Liv and Grey are still at a stand still. After Liv doesn't stand up for whats hers, Edith now has what Liv wants and Edith vowed she would have.

Grey stuck to his promise to Edith and she got to check wedding and marriage off her bucket list.

But Liv still can't believe it. Does he really love Edith? After some events come about, Liv moves back home.

Being back in the same town as Grey ain't easy. She's still in love with him, no one can take his place. With a proposal that she can't refuse from Grey, will her accepting it just hurt her worse in the long run?

In Pieces of Us, Grey has become a total asshole. Ugh, I just wanted to slap the hell out of him. He treated Liv like crap, that she was only good for one thing and that was spreading her legs for him, he's went down hill and you will see what I'm talking about. Liv has grown in this book, from the previous one. And I liked that! There wasn't all the back and forth like the first, which got on my nerves. I feel like the author grew so much more in this book, too. I know she's wrote others before these two, but I still feel like her writing grew. There isn't a lot of British lingo, which I know a lot of people didn't like, myself included in the 1st book. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I want to see where Live and Grey goes.

Wow wow wow what an amazing conclusion to Greyson and Olivia's story! I wasn't sure how this was going to end as I read this book! Pamela Ann has once again done it, she pulled out all of the stops - love, hate, angst and heartache! As with all of her books I want to finish them to see what happens but I am also so very sad that they come to an end. I have read all that she has written and I can not wait for the next one of her books to come out! I loved Olivia and her sass and devotion to what her heart wants. I did feel sorry for Liam throught out this book and hoped that what happened with him was different. Who know maybe he will get his own story someday! If you haven't read this series or any of her others you do not know what you are missing. I promise if you do you will not be disappointed! She is amazing!!!!

No Spoilers. I will say this is written in true Pamela Ann Fashion. You love the characters. You hate them. You want to fix them You want to fight for them and Sometimes You want to Slap the Shit out of them. In the first book Pieces of You and Me I wanted to hate Grey but I couldn't. He wanted Liv so bad but he wanted to hate her too. In the second book Pieces of Us I hated Liv. Then I was pissed at Grey. Then I was pissed at Liv. In the end I was sad for Liv and Loved Grey. Like I said true Pamela Ann she had me all over the place. Pamela Ann is a Wonderful and Bright Author. Not to mention a beautiful person. She writes from her soul. It shows with everything she writes.
I can't wait for her next book. As I have said a million times I would read anything she writes including her grocery list.

This never happens to me, no matter how much I struggle with a book I always finish it. But I physically couldn't with Pieces of Us. Not only was I bored but I felt like the author just wanted to finish the book and get it out of the way. I loved Pieces of You and Me and was really looking forward to the next book, but I'm highly disappointed. I'm a big fan of Pamela Ann's work and I will continue to read her books but this just didn't do it for me. The entire book revolved around angry sex and cheating and wanting to hurt each other, through making each other jealous or verbally attacking. I adored Grey in book one and I was desperate to find out if he would go through with the wedding. Once I found out, that's when I switched off. DNF.

My Heart Skipped a Beat

I love Greyson, he was a man who was willing to wear his heart on his sleeve for the woman he loved. he could and would put it on on the line for his one true love Olivia. there relationship will take you through a rollercoaster ride, just when you think all Will be right with them, you get kicked in the gut and it sucks all the breath out of you. you'll breathe again and something else will cause your heart to skip a beat all over again, but you'll never know true love without out heartache and pain

I literally read this book on one day because I couldn't put it down. I loved the fact that they learned more about their love over time, but I didn't like how she was self destructing without learning how to cope. I guess that was because she was young. I wish that she confronted Edith on her lies and that it went more in depth about her Cancer. I would like to see Liam get a book too. end the end it seemed like he had a possessive dark side that was interesting. love love love Pamela Ann and her writing!!!!!!!!

I absolutely loved this book by Pamela Ann. It was a wonderfully written follow up to Pieces of You & Me. This book picks up where the last one left off. I adore my sweet little complex Greyson. I was rooting for Olivia and him the entire time. Their love has so many ups and downs and it was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. I definitely recommend this book as well as the first because Pamela Ann certainly knows how to write one sexy love story.

Big fan of this author and I loved this story! The only things that were lacking for me was the ending seemed rushed and I felt Edith should have been held more accountable for her manipulations and lies. If Grey loved Liv so much... It should have mattered more rather she was dying or not!

Again loved the story but wished for more of an ending!
