**** I Love Story Time was gifted an ARC of Broken Pieces (The Riverdale Series) by Janine Infante Bosco in exchange for an honest review****
I just got done reading Pieces (book 1) of this series and was so lucky to be able to go right into Broken Pieces. If I had to wait...I would have died!! Literally died!! I didn't even wait to start this, I needed to see what happened between Nick and Samantha (Sam). In book 1, you meet Nick and Samantha and can tell by their heated history that this was going to be good! Sometimes when reading a series, the second book does not live up to the standards of the first book...Broken Pieces did not disappoint!! I LOVED this book just as much as the first. I really liked that even though this book was mainly written to be about Nick and Sam it continued the story between Jake and Cara. Now, before I get into Nick and Sam's story I can not write this review with out mentioning my loving Jake. I thought in Pieces that I was going to die from all the crying I did. Well, this book followed right along and made me ugly cry even more. I can not believe the love and strength that Cara and Jake showed as they continued on their bumpy road. The strength of the family and the support that they were given while dealing with what life brought them... I was truly moved. I won't say too much about how everything works out with them but what I will say is that I LOVE Jake. No matter what he was going through, he never stopped loving and never stopped trying to play match maker between Nick and Sam. He always cared about everyone else first all the while wiggling those famous eyebrows! Just loved Jake and Cara together!
Now for Nick and Sam!! Loved them from the beginning. Loved the teasing that Nick always did to Samantha no matter how much she pushed him away. I love when characters have that love hate relationship in the beginning that builds up all that angst. Nick has always been in love with Samantha but because of how much her family means to him he never pursued a relationship with her in fear of losing them all if things didn't work out. Nick ends up having to leave Riverdale without anyone knowing why. 7 years later he's back and wants nothing more then to be with Sam.
One night 7 years ago, Sam pursued Nick and met him in his hotel room. Nick at first told her she shouldn't be there but he can't fight the chemistry they both have for each other. Then just like everyone else, Sam has no idea why Nick left Riverdale without so much as a goodbye...now he's back! Nick and Sam still have the same chemistry that they once shared 7 years ago but Sam does everything in her power to fight it. Sam has a secret that Nick doesn't know about and Sam refuses to let him in on it. So in return, Sam pushes Nick away at every attempt that Nick makes to get closer to her.
One night when Sam finds herself vulnerable and needing someone, she turns to Nick. Of course Nick is there for her with open arms. Sam starts coming around Nick for one thing. Nick being Nick, he gives in every time. Just thinking about the book makes me think about all the hot scenes. HaHa!! Man Nick has a hot mouth!!
"After I spoke to you I went upstairs alone." He said his voice barely audible as he leaned closer to her ear. His breath on her earlobe sent shivers down her spine. "And the only thing I got off to was picturing your sweet face when I make you come."
Nick wants more from Sam then what she is willing to give....
"You spend the night with me and I'll pleasure you all night. You fall asleep in my bed and you awake in my arms, no notes on the pillow."
Little by little Sam's walls start to come down and she starts letting Nick get closer and closer. Nick can tell that she still is holding back a piece of her heart and does everything he can do get her to give him that final piece......
"We can be good together. I know we can, but you need to be willing to go all in, because I wont have you if i can't have all of you."
Does Sam give him the final piece? I can't tell...you have to find out by reading the book!!! It seriously is one of my favorite series. So listen to me when I say that these books are a MUST READ!! I'm so sad that now I have to wait to read the final installment of the Riverdale Series. I CAN NOT WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT! I give this book two 5 stars!! Janine...another great book under your belt! I can't wait to read more about Nick and Sam and looking forward to Luke's story!
