This was a great sequel to Justin and Dallas's story. I loved seeing their relationship grow and I loved how realistic Justin's recovery was. The pacing is slow, but I think it fits the story well.
Compared to book one, this one is on the sweeter side and the dialogues are a bit repetitive, but those are my only niggles. Overall, I really enjoyed it.

*3.5* As much as I am enjoying the series, this middle book is a little dry. Justin and Dallas are syrupy sweet and almost too perfect to be genuine people. Sometimes it’s nice to read a little fluff, but it also feels unrealistic.
Gay romance
Amnesia trope/TBI
A little too perfect
Super sweet

I will add, that it’s nice to see Justin falling in love with Dallas after feeling so lost and confused in the first book.
He sighed and leaned against the back of the sofa, holding my hand and looking at me all gooey. It did crazy things to my heart. “You make it easy, you know,” he whispered.
“Make what easy?”
“To fall in love with you.”

The first book had more of an impact. This one... not so much. There was too much use of the word "baby" and the book itself was too cheesy with all the "I love you's". While it was cute, it lacked the pain of the first book, and the depth. Sure it's nice to see Justin falling in love with Dallas anew, but it's boring at the same time. There's nothing unexpected happening. I'm not sure how I'm gonna get through book three if it's gonna be the same as this one, as very little happened.
Quick basic facts:
Genre: - (Adult) Contemporary Romance (M/M).
Series: - Series, Book Two.
Love triangle? -
Cheating? -
HEA? -
Favorite character? - Dallas Muller.
Would I read more by this author/or of series? - Sure.
Would I recommend this book/series? - Yes, I do actually.
Will I read this again in the future? - Who knows.
Rating - 3 stars.

The second instalment in this series continues where book 1 left off. Justin is still recovering from his severe brain injury and his partner Dallas is supporting him, slowly re-exploring their relationship and uncovering memory after memory like puzzle pieces.
There isn't much happening plot-wise. Justin is getting better each day and Dallas is sorting out finances. Sounds incredibly boring, but it's very sweet. These guys totally are relationship goals.
5 Stars!

❝I'm not perfect,❞ I said again, wiping his cheek. ❝I'm far from it. I just love you, that's all.❞
if you know my reading preference, i usually prefer a romance with a mix of fluff and angst. i have to be in a certain mood for one with only angst or only fluff, but i must be in that mood at the moment bc this has little to no angst and i adore the way the romance was portrayed in this. the only 'angst' i would say is the fact that Justin had amnesia and doesn't remember the last five years of his life (which is the amount of years he's known and been with Dallas) but Dallas' dedication towards not giving up on Justin, no matter how long it takes, is truly admirable and shows just how much he loves him. it's honestly the most wholesome act of love and i love them. 🥺

I have read 6 books of Miss Walker, including this one, and I quite confidently state that in a lot of her books, personally speaking that is, I just find her writing to be so healing.
Where no matter how dark, traumatic, or liberating and light, her books are so incredibly healing. It feels like she heals a part of my soul and captures a part of my heart and completely owns it. She might destroy it, she might breathe life in it, but ultimately it just feels.... at home whenever I read her books.
He was warmth and strength, and I fit against him just right. His hands were big, his skin rough and calloused and divine. When he cradled my face, I couldn’t help but lean into his touch.
And this book is no stranger to that feeling and alongside with that feeling, I just feel like baring my soul bare because this book touched a part of me and truly, it struck me with the greatest reality and understanding, of perspective and maturity.
“And I’m happy you found the meaning of them.”
“Me too,” Justin replied. He gave me a shy smile that made my belly flip. “Remembering Dallas was the best thing.”
I am no stranger to True Love , an extraordinary kind of love, a love that is so profound, so honest and beautiful that not many people are blessed to experience it, a love that is so genuinely deep and true, this kind of love was built on profound moments, the kind of moments we dream of, the once in a lifetime second moment.
I don't know, maybe I had been kidding myself my entire existence, but this book taught me, it showed me that love doesn't need to be extravagant, it doesn't need to be this big thing, this doesn't need that WOW factor, it doesn't need to have this miracleous feeling, all it needs to be is real. It needs to be genuine. Because this kind of love, the simple kind , where having dates at your dining table and finishing the night in your sofa just holding each other's hand, can be true love too. Because it's also real, it's also genuine and deep and profound. And oh so special.
I love how this book and how it truly showed me what love is and what it means.
We got a second chance, and not everyone did. I wasn’t about to waste that. Sure, I had to juggle work and a business and clients and staff. I never expected this to be easy, and honestly, I reckoned we got out of it easier than those in a lot of the stories I’d read about brain injury.
I just had to count my blessings and take each day as it came.
Was getting to hold Juss while he slept a blessing? Hell fucking yes it was.
And I just want to say, if there so much as a couple who just fits together so well like a damn puzzle, and so belonged like soulmates, it's this couple.
Justin and Dallas, they're fighters and survivors. They're one of the best characters I've ever got the chance to meet and watching and learning them honestly changed me as a person.
“You know what I realised?” I asked. “When you were lying in that hospital bed and you still hadn’t opened your eyes, and we didn’t know if you ever would at that stage, the boys were manning the workshop taking care of everything for us. It was very clear to me what my priorities were. If it came down to it, if I had to choose, I’d choose you. No matter the cost. No matter the sacrifice. I’d choose you, Juss. And right now, if I had to choose again, it’d still be you. And every day in between, and every day from now till forever.”

I was so happy to discover ‘Pieces of You' was only the first installment in a trio of ‘Missing Pieces'. Not because the first book felt incomplete but because I wasn’t quite done with them. I’m a fan of amnesia romance and this particular case walks the line of light angst with heavy fluff and it was just what I was looking for this past week! Things pick up from the final pages of book one, so be sure to snag it before you come here. Actually, save yourself another trip and just get all three…I’m sure you’ll want to see this through!
What's to like: The pace is leisurely as it mimics Justin’s progress. This is not a race and for as many steps forward, he stumbles back a time or two. The best part about it is he is never alone. Dallas has stood by his side, steady and solid in Justin’s recovery. And Justin is getting better. Frustration rattles his patience but he’s determined to find his way back to the life he had before that pivotal day. As much as I adore Justin and Dallas, I also enjoyed the rest of their chosen family. And with a surprising twist, they are welcomed with open arms into another family. The pieces are coming together, maybe a bit differently, and with new ones replacing those lost, but piece by piece they are slotting back in place.
What's to love: As things begin to come back together there’s a surge of elation and gratitude and the pages flew by. I’ll be honest and tell you I did fret a bit. I worried about Dallas and his unwavering strength. I worried about Justin and his grief over his lost memories. I worried about Davo and Sparra over the strain of holding the business going. But…I’ll tell you a secret, it was all for not. This second segment was all about healing and rebuilding. The fog is clearing and pieces are nestling together…it was beautiful to witness. AND!! We have one more final story to go…I think I’ll head there now. I have a strong feeling I’ll see you back here soon!
Beware of: Clearly, this needs to be read in proper order, start the beginning, please! Since this is focused on healing, of the body and mind, the intimacy is appropriate. And plan on swooning and awwing, for it is flufftactular!
This book is for: Of course, Walker fans and amnesia romance lovers will want to check out this lovely reconnection. If you're searching for tender and sweet, try these two..they left me with a huge smile on my face.

There is such a feeling of love in this series it's like being wrapped up in the softest blanket with a mug of steaming tea and a right pile of biscuits to munch on.
It just makes me feel happy, comforted and so in love with both Dallas and Justin as they try to find their new normal after the accident which has taken five years of memories away from Jussie.
The depth of love Dallas has is infinite and seeing him just be there for his partner is everything you'd ever hope for yourself in similar situations.
There's not really a 'plot' as such, it's more of a meandering along with them and their friends as they move on with their lives.
If you could wrap that feeling of quiet joy from the unconditional love that Dallas demonstrates, you'd make a fortune and the world would be a better place.

You know the phenomenon when you start yawning as soon as you see someone else yawn?
(In fact, I feel the urge right as I’m writing this review)
Same happened to me in this book. I really liked book 1, but this one - while very similar to the first one - just made me tired. It’s about the same couple, Justin and Dallas. Justin is recovering from the accident he had in book 1, still suffering from amnesia, his arm and his leg slowly mending.
And he’s tired. Which is understandable, but geeeeez. It’s mentioned 53 times in 156 pages, which made me struggle to NOT fall asleep along with him. And when he’s not tired, he starts to slur, and his eyes close, and his body sags against Dallas. And then both get emotional and start crying because Justin remembered something he forgot, and the cycle starts all over again.
While I adored both him and Dallas, and loved seeing Justin fall in love again and having all the second “first times”, it really, REALLY made me tired along with him. At times, it felt more like a journal that catalogued all the baby steps on his way to recovery than a romance.
Again, it felt so realistic that I can’t help but wonder if the author used this book to process something similar that she encountered in real life.
The narration is good, but I don’t think I’ll listen to the last book right away - I need something more “energetic” or else I’ll spend my next days dozing on and off again 🤣

This was part 2 of the trilogy, but they're not like separate books. There is no end to books 1 and 2, and no beginning to books 2 and 3. It's just like moving on to the next chapter.
I'm still loving Dallas and Justin so much!
Such a beautiful story.
Moving on to book 3 right now. ❤️❤️❤️

3.5 rounded up. This was also very good! Justin's recovery is slow but steady. Dallas is still the perfect human (maybe too perfect?). seeing Justine fall in love again is great and I mean given Dallas' level of perfection who wouldn't? As other reviewers have mentioned, the story gets repetitive and almost boring at times since we are following the nitty gritty of their daily lives but it was still good. Onto the next 🥰

Walker is bringing all the feels. I was in the mood for a drama-free book and am so glad I found it with this. There is a bit, of course, but it would have been weird without it. Was extremely glad it didn't come from the usual throw-this-always-an-issue-here kinda deal.
I normally hate the use of "baby" (and still not a fan) but they're an established couple and Justin likes it, and that makes all the difference!
I love all the understanding between them, and all the work they do. Justin does things differently, and sometimes a bit later, but that's completely expected considering all he went through with his accident. Working through the things is the most amazing part, and how they're not afraid to ask a doctor about what's worrying them.
Was a bit let down by the repetitiveness of the dialogue. Sometimes I literally thought I had deja vu going on, or misread/read too quick for on the page... That's how close some of it was. Still had a lot of feels though and I really enjoyed this.
Doctor Chang. So great.
"You two just kill me."
Me too. Me tooo...
Just a few quotes this time:
"They're not pretty. They're banged up and rough, but these hands work, and they fix things, and that's pretty great."
"A hug. I need a hug."
Christ, I could have cried. I threw my arms around him and held him, breathing him in, his scent, his warmth, the feel of him against me. I didn't want to let go. Not now, not ever. "I needed this too," I whispered.
"Candles make it a date."

I'm really loving this series.
These two, Justin and Dallas, are so amazing together. They have the kind of love we all wish we could have. Always supportive, always communicative, always willing to try, and so in love with each other it's always too much sometimes. The fluff almost bordered on sickly sweet at times, and. with the guy who hit Justin accidentally being so damn kind, it was just nice people all around and it was jarring because honestly people aren't usually this nice, and that's kind sad.
But I loved the borderline sweetness. I love fluffiness in stories, and even though these two are dealing with something so massive, with Justin having been in the accident, having amnesia and still recovering, there was still the fluff and the sweetness which this author does so well.
Justin is getting better every day and remembering more and more as time goes on, and as he recovers more and more, he starts to think about sex again too, and even though these two don't go all the way in this one, there is some steam where the last one didn't have any.
But again, there isn't much and yet the romance is so amazing between these two that it doesn't matter too much, and they're getting there, and by the third book I know they'll have sex, so I'm not too worried. I wonder if Walker will have Justin remember everything or remain only remembering bits and pieces...that'll be interesting to find out, for sure.
Highly recommend this. Two big thumbs up from me!

He sighed and leaned against the back of the sofa, holding my hand and looking at me all gooey. It did crazy things to my heart. “You make it easy, you know,” he whispered. “Make what easy?” “To fall in love with you.”
I made the mistake of listening to book 3 before I reviewed this one, and then waited several days before starting the review. I don’t really remember what happens in which book anymore, lol. I do know that I really enjoyed the book. It’s a very heartwarming and lovely story about two people who are obviously meant to be together. Dallas is the most supportive and loving person ever, and would do anything for Justin.
I do feel like I would’ve enjoyed it if the books were a tad bit angstier honestly. They’re sort of heavy, but not angsty. Still great obviously. N. R. Walker does it again.
I don’t actually remember if this starts in book 2 or not, but I think so: the fact that Justin is a total c*ck-hungry size queen bottom was the nicest surprise, and when the spice started spicing? Oh boy. More on that in the review for book 3.

“Fucking hell, Dallas,” he said. “Your dick is huge. Should I . . . I dunno, should I get it its own pillow?” […] “It’s huge.” He was still staring at my dick. “I mean, it explains a lot, like why I spent four years with a Bulldogs supporter.”
“Can I get you anything? A juice or a cup of tea?” He smiled. “A cuddle. Always makes me feel better.” “I can do that.” “A proper lie-down cuddle,” he added. “And you can rub circles on my back and put your fingers through my hair.”

Pieces of Me
picks up exactly where
Pieces of You
left off. Justin is still discovering who is after this accident and Dallas is still right by his side through all of it. This is the perfect continuation and while it was not drama filled it was such a real story of two normal blokes and the troubles they must go through to get back to a new normal. You find Dallas and Justin becoming more of the couple they used to be while rediscovering who they are together. Walker hit this one out of the park, I can hardly wait to read the third and final book in Justin and Dallas's story.

Enjoyed for the most part but my interest started to wane due to excessive repetitive dialogue. Still very much invested in Dallas and Justin though and look forward to the conclusion.

How is it that one of them barely remembers the other, and the other is drowning in financial stress but they somehow manage to fall a little bit more in love with each other every day?
N. R. Walker manages to put MCs in deeply complicated situations while maintaining a fluffy feel overall.
Dallas continues to be the blueprint for green flag MCs. All of this had me going 'awwwwww' the whole time
How can two people be THIS sweet with each other? The embodiment of not letting your problems define you.

This definitely has to be read after book one, since it's really one story. One of the things I like about this series is that Justin struggles with his recovery. It's slow and it's painful and there are no magic cures. I'm attached to these guys, so this book had me cheering every forward step. The bond between the two is strong, even when Justin is confused, and their moves towards reclaiming their relationship - emotional and physical - were beautifully done.
There's a bit of lack of plot here - problems that arose were solved without crisis. Justin's progress is incremental, without the big setbacks that would have made it more interesting and emotional. Dallas is also just a bit too perfect. This is a long haul for him, he has money worries, he's sleeping with the man he loves, but still held at a distance by Justin's injuries. Some kind of anger, frustration, acting out, even just needing to get away for a day and do something for himself, would have given Dallas more depth and interest. He always seems to know what Justin needs, and I'd have liked to see what they did when he got it wrong now and then.
Still, I will definitely read the next one, to see where these two guys go. And I wish every person dealing with disability and healing had a Dallas at their side.

Thought Glen Lloyd did a great job. My only niggle was that some of the lines were unexpectedly repeated, so not sure whose fault that was, but honestly, it was a minor problem and didn't stop me from listening.
Five well-deserved gold stars!! I am seriously in love with this series. I do have trouble with some of Nic's couples cos I never know who is my fave and where they appear in my own personal pecking order, but Dallas and Justin are right up there with Charlie and Travis, and Spencer and Andrew for me. The characterisations are just superb...there is SO MUCH LOVE on every page from Dallas in particular that it's no wonder I've been teary-eyed all day [but that might also have something to do with the fact that I was partying last night, celebrating at home of course, thanks to this pandemic] Liverpool's first Premier League title for 30 years...
So happy that the hope I felt at the end of book 1 translated itself into the narrative of this one...LOVED IT TO BITS. Well done Nic.

I find it really hard to review the middle book of a short trilogy. It was sweet, less sad than the first. I’m in love with Dallas. They are both amazing. I’m liking the side characters. I was worried I’d be bored, and just waiting to get to the last book, but I loved every second of it.
