5 Smooches
Synopsis
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.
Review
Picking up the Pieces is the conclusion of the story Pieces of Perfect and features characters from the novel Sex Snob as well. I was so excited to get this book, I LOVED Pieces of Perfect and was dying to find out who Lily ended up with! DYING!!
This story picks up right wear Pieces of Perfect left off and Lily is alone and has been traveling Europe. Picking Up the Pieces is told from the point of views from Lily, Adam, and Max, which does help see and understand some of the decisions these characters made. When she returns, although she tries to stay away it really doesn’t take long for her to start a friendship back up with both Adam and Max, which causes some major tension among all three characters. It is clear from the get-go that both men still love Lily, but are trying to fight those feelings because of what played out in Pieces of Perfect. This novel is full of love triangle angst and drama. Which took me for an emotional roller coaster. I feel like I was more emotionally involved in this story than I was in the first. I was constantly tore up about who she would end up with.
I cannot say that I always agreed with Lily’s decision making process but I do honestly believe that it was important for the story. I did find myself yelling out loud a few time “Just Pick One” (secretly I wanted her to pick who I was rooting for of course).
I can’t really blame Lily though, If I had to pick between Adam and Max I would have an impossible time too! They are both so incredibly YUMMY. Personally I would just want both (hehe). But that really isn’t an option here in book two.
Two more characters that need to be discussed are Amanda and Shane! Thank goodness they are in here! I fell in love with them in Sex Snob and they were needed in this story in order to provide some comedic relief from all the tension. Amanda seriously cracks me up and I loved how much more she was in this book! I was rolling, I was laughing at the things she said sometimes!
I don’t want to go too deep into this story because it is one stories where you are scared of giving anything away. So instead of talking plot, lets talk SEX! This story is HOT! The chemistry between the characters in this book jump off the page! Lucky Lily is all I have to say about that! Even the masturbation scenes left me a bit tingly!
Overall, Anyone who has read Pieces Of Perfect (and really that should be everyone) needs to read this book too! All the story lines are wrapped up nicely and everyone gets their HEA in the end! It was a drama whirlwind but one that was well worth it!
