Shattered Pieces
How many times can a single heart break?
As a sixteen year old girl, love finds me early, but so does crushing pain. We’re Jake and Mackenzie, and I thought we would be forever. After all, we built our love one summer at a time for nearly seven years.
Jake is a damaged boy bordering on manhood; I become his cure. He’s my first, my one and only, or so I thought.
Two years later, I’m still nursing my wounded heart, when I start college and meet Gavin. Devilishly cute, dark to Jake’s light, Gavin’s sweet and patient. Falling for him is easy once I let go of the past.
But an open heart invites tragedy, and that’s exactly what finds me. However, this curveball knocks me right back into Jake’s orbit. Even after ten years apart, the pull toward him is one I can’t deny, no matter how much I try to fight it.
Will he heal me and mend the broken parts of my life? Or am I destined to live with the shattered pieces?

Shattered Pieces will take you on a spicy and emotional rollercoaster that you’ll want to always re read, at least for me. There are four important character in this book that you will LOVE! I don’t like spoiling anything no matter how long it’s been out. I highly recommend this book.

I’d like to say have the tissues ready! Shayna has captured my heart, broke it, and the pieced it back together again. I honestly didn’t know what to expect from her but the more I dived in to the book the more I realized she has to go in my favorite author category. I love an author who can make me feel everything that’s written in their books! This book has a special place in my heart. The FMC Kenz went through so much emotion in this book and I honestly felt everything she was going through. We went through true young love, heart ache, healing, loving again, grief, and so much more. I also love that every feeling in this book felt genuine and true, none of the emotions were rushed or misplaced. Let’s not forget about Jake as well and how he is a well written character. I love that this was a second chance romance because without it I don’t think I would’ve survived. And who doesn’t love a book with an emotional rollercoaster and some spice added in. While the spice isn’t the main focus I did appreciate the tid bits that were included. If you’re thinking about reading this do yourself a favor and add it to the top of your list!

- “We don't always end up with the love of our life.” I really liked how we saw them navigate a relationship from such a young age. Experiencing so many firsts together, having a first love, and a heartbreak to go right along with it. I also really enjoyed all the chapters explaining all the little details from the young age up to the present. We saw their relationship actually develop and I could picture it versus it being light flashbacks. When the two try to move on they soon realize it may be harder then they expected. When Mackenzie finds herself in a new relationship it is hard for her to balance the past and the present. She tries to prove time and time again to her new beau that she is completely over Jake. But she learns in time that the truth is, maybe you can never really forget your first love. This book made my heartache. I enjoyed the fact that this book was different from any other “second chance” romance I’ve read. I gave this a four out of five rating. Only because I was hoping it was longer and I wanted more of Jake. We learned so much about Mackenzie in their time apart I was hoping for more on Jakes POV of that time. But overall I really enjoyed this book!

I felt very conflicted reading this book. On one hand, I really liked the story of Mackenzie and Jake, and then Mackenzie and Gavin. I’m a sucker for a second chance romance and the way fate deals the cards in this book is so satisfying. On the other hand I didn’t really connect with the writing style and felt kind of distanced from the story the whole time. The pacing took me a while to adjust to and changed throughout the book, which made it a little difficult to keep the timeline straight sometimes. I found the spicy scenes to be a bit repetitive as they all followed the same general formula of actions. However, this book is objectively well written in terms of plot and grammar, and the characters are very interesting and dynamic. The relationships between them are beautifully developed and make sense for the main character at the time. While it wasn’t one of my favourite books, I have no doubt this will be someone’s next 5 star read and I’m glad I had the opportunity to read it! I received an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review :)

Wow, just wow! Be ready to have your heart ripped out and put back together.
You feel every emotion with the characters, this book is so beautifully written! Shayna Astor definitely takes you on a emotional roller coaster ride. You may want to have tissues on hand.
There is love, anger, angst, grief with a pinch of spice. What more can you want?! I'm blown away! And this is only the authors second book??? SPEECHLESS.

What a phenomenal book! I wasn’t prepared for all the angst and emotions I went through reading this. Jake, Gavin and Mackenzie are the three main characters in this book. There’s so much love, so much anger, grief, and an HEA. I don’t want to post any spoilers, it’s best to go in blind. You won’t regret reading this book! The spice is also amazing!

Shattered Pieces is a captivated and unique romance. Following Mackenzie as she experiences first love, heartbreak and loss, Shayna takes you through an emotional roller coaster as Mackenzie walks through life as she falls in love with Jake and Gavin in different stages of life.
There’s so much love, lust, loss and grief that you feel Mackenzie’s walk along with her.

Two years later, heartbroken Mack starts college and meets Gavin. It takes her awhile to open her heart again to love and she finally agrees to date Gavin and they fall in love and are happy ❤️ the celebration of birthdays by Gavin was 🥹

I’m giving this book 5 stars simply because I can relate to this story. I met the love of my life in high school and we broke up after because of life. Both of us always regretted it, always missed the other, always had love for the other through that time apart. And we reconnected a little over a decade later. I was married and although my husband did not pass away like Mackenzie’s, when we reconnected I was dealing with some heavy stuff and my love was able to help me heal through some difficult things. Much like Mackenzie I also had always loved my person, despite being married to someone else. Not that Mackenzie didn’t love Gavin, but he just wasn’t her forever love and she knew that deep down, as did I. She moved on from her life with jake and had accepted that he would always be in her heart although she moved on with Gavin. I did that as well, so I just really related to those things, and many more in this book. It gave me all the feels and memories for my own situation, and because of that, I will for sure give it 5 stars.
But there are things that I didn’t LOVE…
I know, or from what I think I know, this is a newer author. And that somewhat shows in the writing. The sex scenes were pretty repetitive until her and Jake got back together and there was finally sex somewhere other than a bed. But the way she described her feelings of arousal, the things done to her, etc, all pretty much the same in every scene. I found myself skipping over the sex scenes or skimming them really quickly because they were in fact mostly all the same. So I think those need some more work. Maybe some more descriptions on different positions, trying new things in the sex scenes, bringing in some toys, something other than them being the same every time. In life, lots of the time sex is the same. I’m not knocking that, you like what you like… but in stories a reader needs more than everyday life sex. Hopefully that makes sense.
I also thought the writing wasn’t as developed. It just seemed like I could feel the inexperience in it.
I wish it would have explored Shannon and Mackenzie mending their relationship a little more. The little snippet we got during the two weeks Shannon was there after Gavin’s death was great, and I loved that. I just wish that it would have carried on, as part of her healing. To see their relationship heal a little more too.
And I can’t believe I’m going to say this, because I have always been team Jake… but I didn’t like how after Gavin’s death, it mainly focused on a little bit of grief in the two years she grieved. Two years is a lot of time, I just mean the amount dedicated to it that was written was somewhat quick. But there was no mention of her visiting Gavin’s grave site after the time her mom took her, no mention of what happened with her relationship with his parents.. she didn’t go visit his grave site before she went to North Carolina before she connected with Jake, and I’m assuming he was buried in the town they lived in? There was no mention of her visiting his grave site when she took Jake to her town to see her and Gavin’s old house. That was a little off putting to me, she was married to him. She didn’t get divorced because he was terrible to her (like my ex husband was), he died. And she mentions that had he not died, she would have stayed married to him. That’s a big deal! To just never visit his grave, no mention of going back annually to leave flowers or anything? It was like after he died and she had her grieving period that was it..that was good and it was forever behind her. The only mention of Gavin after that was when she was reflecting on her marriage when she and Jake talked about some things here and there. She even left her box of memories of him and their marriage at her parents house, that was weird to me. There needed to be more, in my opinion.
I also would have really liked to of had some duel POV going on here. It would have been awesome to know a little more about how Gavin was feeling or thinking, and how Jake was feeling or thinking from their POV. It would have given the story some more depth for me.
Overall it was a good book. I want to continue to read books from this author to watch her writing develop. I hope my review is helpful for her, as I feel like advice from readers to make her writing better in a nice way can only help her improve in the future :)

The beginning is slow as the author takes her time to build the readers understanding of the relationship building between Jake and Mackenzie. However, from the first heartbreak this becomes a novel you can not put down! You become invested, proud of the main character, frustrated with her frustrations, joyful and giddy as she falls in love, heart broken as she struggles with a devastating loss, emotionally knotted as she finds her way bac, and elated when she reunites with her First Love.
The author does an amazing job building the characters, making them real people. She draws you in emotionally, and does an excellent job with details. The spicy scenes are a bit routine between lovers, but let’s be honest, that’s real life. They are still well written, but you can sense the pattern, until the end then. Jake doesn’t disappoint, he gets a bit more imaginative.

This book!
I think I went through every emotion with this book. The loss that Kenz went through multiple times in different ways was so raw and real.
I found myself cheering for her happiness, and so invested in her story.
And Jake! Oh my gosh. His love, tenderness, and steadiness totally stole my heart.
Honestly, there are so many ups and downs during this book, but all if has such a sweetness to it.
Definetly8, have some tissues nearby as your read it because you'll need them.
Highly recommend this story since it delivers sweetness, angst, love, second chances, and spice all throughout!

Agh my heart!
So much heart break and so much love! This story had me glued, I have read it cover to cover in the last 12 hours. Everytime I had to go out or stop reading my mind was consumed with the characters.
Kenz and Jakes love story was EVERYTHING! A true modern day The Notebook kind of vibe. Destined to be together regardless of the time missed or the people they've met.
The raw emotion of grief and reality of the motions one goes through when losing a partner in this book is 🤌 so well written.
The ending was exactly what I wanted and i felt so content with it. Such a heartbreakingly sweet story.

DNF at 60%. Don't want to DNF this but I know that if I try to finish this, I'd be back to my book slump. I think the story is somewhat okay but I feel detached to it and the characters while reading this. The timeline is okay but everything felt rushed and jampacked in every chapter. I picked up this book because someone in the fb group recommended this for a good cry but after 60 percent, I'm not even teary-eyed. There's no depth in it. It's like reading a diary with chosen dialogues thrown into it then the next chapter—another year— starts. I commend this book for being well edited/proofread but the writing disappoints me.

I received this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Wow, where do I even begin on this book.
I went in blind and have never read anything by Shayna before this. This is a second chance romance with a HEA. This story follows Mackenzie, Jake, & Gavin. All consumed childhood love. Broken hearts, grief, uncertainty, but most of all unconditional love. Emotional rollercoaster and that is putting it mildly. This was an epic love story with some spice. I’d definitely recommend this story to anyone who needs a good book to read. Looking forward to more by this author.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
This was my first read by Shayna. So I honestly wasn’t too sure of what to expect. I went into this arc totally blind and unsure.
I was pleasantly surprised with their writing style. The book was easy to follow, kept my interest, and kept an interesting storyline the whole way through.
This is a HEA that follows FMC Mackenzie. There’s some heartbreak and struggles, but also some amazing love.
Based on this read; I would definitely check out other books by Shayna.

I am a little speechless about this book! Quite frankly it’s stunning and perfect.
I had tears of sadness and tears of laughter. Only a phenomenal author could bring this much heartache to me, break my heart, shatter the pieces and then fix it back together again in such a joyous way!
The story is truly beautiful in a way not many authors can create.
The story of Jake and Kenz pulled me in from the first page and I 100% believed they were meant to be, but not only that, but that they were true soulmates. A little piece of each other.
The only thing else I can say is Thank You Shayna Astor for giving me a little slice of perfection!!!

a rollercoaster of emotion
Happy, joy, discomfort, sadness, happy, joy, devastation, heartbreak misery, joy, happiness, sadness, happy. And those were just the main ones. I ran through every emotion in this book.
Jacks and Mackenzie meet as kids at their summer houses in outer banks, by the time they’re 13/14 their summer friendship turns to young love. When jake goes off to college they separate devastatingly so. When Mack meets Gavin a few years later she might finally be ready to risk heartbreak again, but life is messy and nothing is ever easy.
This was a beautiful second chance romance sprinkled with heartbreak and grief and self discovery and just the riiiiight amount of SPICE!

This book was such a heart-wrenching emotional rollercoaster! It's a story of young love, coming of age, the uncertainty of life's path, and how everything happens for a reason. Your heart will break along with Mackenzie's and you will cheer for her as she struggles to put the pieces back together. It's such a wonderful story, emphasizing that we never know what tomorrow may bring, but that everything will end up the way it is meant to. Another great love story by Shayna Astor ❤️

ARC review
This is such an emotional rollercoaster and truly a journey I had to go through. Mackenzie is growing up going through her first love up to heartbreak and loss. The feelings are so raw and unmasked, that I could feel them through the pages and to see how the FMC deals with it and tries to handle the curveballs life throws at her is an experience, the author handles amazingly well.
Brilliant and emotional book. This certainly gets 5 emotionally shattering and wrecking stars.

Shattered Pieces is definitely living up to its title.
The emotional story of Mackanzie finding her way through life and love is heartbreaking and heartwarming at once.
It had me on the edge of my seat and wooing and crying for the characters and their life quite a few times.
It's an engaging and beautiful coming of age story about not only finding love but yourself and your own place in life and especially how you want it for yourself.
Will definitely be reading more by Shayna.

Shattered Pieces is a beautiful tale of one woman’s emotional endurance through two loves of her life. It will rip out your heart again and again, but will mend it.
The main character’s journey through love, life, heartbreak and loss is a compelling story that pulls the reader through the pages. You’ll keep reading just to find the happy ending for both you and the characters.

Great contemporary romance with some spice!
I didn't love all decisions that certain characters made about a quarter of the way into the book but, I mean, it did make it realistic because people make choices and say things all the time that aren't perfect in real life!
I loved the second half of the book and look forward to reading the author's other works!

Okay
I have mixed feelings about this story because I picked it from a list that was supposed to make me cry. But to cry at a story you need to feel emotion and I just didnt. Didn't feel the love, didn't feel the sadness, didn't feel the passion (especially with G...yawn fest), didn't feel the grief. I guess I kinda felt satisfaction at the story ending as it did, though.

What a beautiful story. This story takes you from one tragic situation to another but it mends the soul as well. I couldn't get enough of this story. The author brought the story full circle and it was a wonderful experience to go through with the characters.
