All The Pieces Of You

by Ari Reavis

Life is about all the pieces coming together…if they fit.
Cassidy knows the ugly side of love all too well, and isn’t interested in allowing it into her own life. So, why does the man at the gym make her question that?
Lucas is too busy raising his young daughter to look for love, but life has already shown him just how quickly things can change. Maybe that’s why the woman doing sit-ups has him doing a doubletake.
When the pieces of two people fit, falling in love should be easy. Except there’s always something in the way of happily ever after.And just because two people fit, doesn’t always mean they match.
This is a standalone erotic romance.

Caught staring at the hottest man she's ever seen, Cassidy puts on her big girl panties, steps up and starts a conversation. Who knew that the hot bod belonged to an incredible guy? And who could have predicted that he would turn out to be the love of her life? For the last four and something years, Lucas has devoted himself to his daughter and his business. He didn't have time for relationships and he wasn't looking for love. Once burned, twice shy. But something about the beautiful woman he caught staring at him in the gym makes him take a chance. A huge risk, opening up his heart again, pays off in the most beautiful ways.

All The Pieces of You was crazy hot and romantic. I love stories where the characters live through an instant connection that blossoms into something that becomes integral to their lives. Lucas and Cassidy were devoted to each other and the love they shared only made the relationship with his daughter that much sweeter. And honestly, his daughter was the icing on this very delicious red velvet cake. Between Lucas's extremely romantic moves and his swoon-worthy gestures, if Cassidy hadn't fallen in love with him as quickly as she did, I would have had a problem with her. But nope, this chica was smart! Once again, Ari Reavis has made sure to remind me of why I became a fan of her writing in the first place. With very little drama, tons of hot sex and the most perfect moments of romance, this story is an easy recommendation to make!

Ari Reavis has written a 5-atar book. This is the story of Cassidy and Lucas. Cassidy is at the gym and she sees a guy that catches her eye and she watches him and gets caught, They start talking and he asked her if she would go out with him, She tells him that she would have to check her schedule and let him know when she could. They get each other's phone numbers and he said he would text her later. Cassidy is on the phone with her friend Monique when she gets a text message from Lucas. They set up a date to go out and until then they talk and text each other. Lucas has a daughter, Bella and it takes a while for him to let Cassidy meet her. Diana, Cassidy's mother was not in her life since she chose drugs over the well-being of Bella. When Cassidy meets Bella, she falls in love with her. Cassidy and Lucas start seeing each other and she spends every Saturday night over at Luca's house. Cassidy, Bella, and Lucas come back to his house, and standing there is Diana. She wants to be in Bella's life after not even knowing her. Lucas and Diana get into a heated discussion and Bella thinks it is her fault that Lucas is mad. Cassidy had gone through the same feelings with her father so she tells Bella that it's not her fault and distracts her from what is going on. Lucas comes in and after a while, he and Cassidy talk about what happened. Lucas tells her that Diana wants custody of Bella and she said she was going to take him to court. Lucas calls his attorney to find out what he has to do in order to stop Diana from getting Bella. His attorney tells him that he needs to file for sole custody of Bella and show why he thinks it would be best for her. Things happen that make Lucas really mad at Diana. She goes to Bella's school and tries to get Bella to leave with her but Bella won't do it and goes and tells her teacher about Diana. When Lucas is called to the school, he is so mad that this happened. Diana is always around but when the police are called and show up, she is gone when they look for her. Cassidy is out with Monique and something happens to make her realize that she has not had her monthly cycle yet and it is late. She tells Monique and she goes to the store and gets Cassidy some pregnancy tests. All the tests show she is pregnant. She doesn't know how she is going to tell Lucas or how he will take the news. She waits until it is confirmed by her doctor before she tells Lucas. When she tells Lucas about the baby, he is happy.
Will Lucas get the situation with Diana taken care of?
Will things with Cassidy and Lucas work out?
This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Sometimes fate has to step in taking all control away and pushing people into place just where she wants them. Luca sexy as all get out workaholic building his brand in his off time being the best daddy ever, and for him love isn’t on the table he just doesn’t have time or patience, so he works and raises his little girl. Cassidy is so sweet, super shy, has been mistreated often enough by her past dates that she doesn’t believe in love and while staring at the sexiest man she has ever seen about to run when her strength kicks in giving her the courage to just say hi. Fate put to ideal people together one who doesn’t believe in love and the other too busy so putting them in the same room and on each other’s path and from there it is all downhill the attraction is instant, intense and throw in a 4-year-old little cutie and you have these two love birds neither expecting it to be so intense or so quickly. Luca makes quick work of proving to her she is worth love, she is beautiful and her ex.’s were all jerks, but he is thankful they were because if they weren’t she wouldn’t be all his but is it enough, can he find the time, will he convince her to believe in love, and can they find happiness with their little family?

This was my first time reading a book by this author but will not be my last. I absolutely loved this story from the beginning to the end. The chemistry between Lucas and Cassidy was fire. The only thing I wish was different would have been more detailed to the characters looks. For it to have been a interracial book often times it did not come off that way. This however did not take away from the book. Would definitely recommend.. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a very good read and it advanced at a good pace. There was a lot of steam between the two main characters. All while having a captivating story line that keeps a reader engaged. I would recommend this book and there is a HEA.

Ari Reavis has quickly become one of my favorite authors. The books I've read so far, are romantic, sizzling, steamy, and super heartfelt reads. This book is no different. Cassidy sees a hot looking guy at the gym and Lucas sees her too. They have a conversation, exchange numbers, and connect later for a date. Lucas is the single father of Bella, a preschooler. As the relationship grows, Cassidy meets Bella and they bond right away. The story os well paced, has crazy sizzle, a ton of steam, twists, turns, and some drama. I loved Cassidy protective determination and spirit and Lucas is a man that will do what is best for his family and a romantic.
I received an ARC from Booksprout and this is my honest review.

This is another good book by this author.
It put you in all the feels to laugh, cry and everything in between.
You get a strong sense of who the characters are from how they're written.
Enjoyed this book a lot.

[Danee · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG Ms Reavis has written another fantastic story. The story of Cassidy and Lucas is a joy to read. Lucas and Cassidy are at the same gym and when she sees him there she can't help but look at him. She doesn't really believe in love because she knows the other side of it too. Lucas is too busy for love because he has to take care of his young daughter.

It was nice to read how two people who actually want nothing to do with love find each other and grow towards each other. Their journey is not a bed of roses and they encounter some bumps in their path to happiness. I will not say more and I advise you to read it for yourself, it is worth it

Really cute! It moved pretty quickly (as far as saying “I love you’s”) but it was really good! I love how the author addressed issues that the characters had and gave them a proper closing. Excited to see what else this author writes!

[Mylene Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Between Lucas and Cassidy, what starts out as an admiration of body and fitness leads to a first date. A really good one. Cassidy is smitten but worried that past experiences may repeat themselves in her life. Lucas has responsibilities and wants to try a real relationship, so he's ready to make those steps. Can Cassidy overcome her past and start looking forward and can Lucas' past relationship remain in the past where it belongs-Permanently? A lovely story.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the hero and the heroine and how will they seemed to mesh together. Both were open to relationships despite past hurts and were willing to make change to make the relationship work. I loved the secondary characters who supported both characters.

This is my first time reading this author and I will definitely be back for more! Her writing is excellent. She built strong characters you can relate with, and told there story I. A way you feel it with them. Cassidy and Lucas find an instant connection which quickly evolves into love. The story is sweet, charming, romantic and very steamy! It’s refreshing to have a story that’s not filled with drama or super damaged characters. Great great!

I just loved this book. It was so well-written that it captured my mind, and I was dragged along for the ride. Once I started reading, I could not put it down until I read the last page.

Everything can align and should be easy but nothing is really that simple. Can you really have your happily ever after or will obstacles in the way prevent that from happening?

Lucas and Cassidy’s love story is everything a romance reader could want. It is sweet and sexy with a bit of angst, and a whole lot of steamy encounters. Their first encounter sets the tone for this book with the flirty banter and high-heat chemistry. OMG some of the texting, or should I say sexting, is very entertaining and definitely turns up their desire for each other. Lucas is definitely the devoted dad and little Bella is an adorable scene steeler that Cassidy can’t help but love as if she were her own daughter. Lucas is very romantic and is not afraid to show Cassidy just how much he loves her. This includes romantic getaways and indulging her naughty fantasies. Cassidy brings both a sense of peace and a sense of fun and lightness to Lucas and his daughter. They both learn to let go of past hurts and disappointments in order to claim the love they have found with each other. Together, Cassidy and Lucas restore each other’s faith in love and commitment while they forge a future of their dreams.

Cassidy is at the gym when she notices a guy who catcher her eye, and when he notices her looking, she plucks up the courage to go and speak to him. Lucas is a single dad to his little girl, and he has no time for relationships, as he is a workaholic and totally dedicated to his daughter and business. Fate has destined these two to be together, and all the puzzle pieces are coming together perfectly, when his ex-arrives on his doorstep wanting custody of Bella, which he needs to make sure never happens. This is a fast paced read, with challenges, emotions, intrigue, drama, and love, which leads to a sweet and all-consuming page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I recommend.

The beginning of the book was good, how they met, how they reacted with each other. Where it fell apart for me was its predictableness. I don't want to spoil it.

Cassidy and Lucas meet at a gym, where she is ogling him. Their relationship is quick and fast. There are some steamy moments in the book.

Cassidy and Lucas are ok characters. Cassidy comes from a shattered home, there is more to it, I just don't want to give it away. There's no dating background on Cassidy that says she is gun shy about dating because her last few guys were dicks like her dad. Lucas is a self-made man who isn't looking for love but finds it with Cassidy. It's insta-love. There is no cliff hanger.

[The Written · Rating 1 out of 5]

DO NOT RECOMMEND - I don’t know how people read this book and it has a 4.28 rating. I couldn’t make it past 5%. Seriously, the corny innuendo and the unrealistic conversations makes knowing somehow his 4yo daughter is going to play a part in this story just is an EWWW! I get it this is not award winning literature but how about aside from the above I was bored, shaking my head and rolling my eyes at 5%!
