Oh wow,,, this one killed me. I have to hand it to Cassia Leo, she did a great job with the love triangle. I ended this book wondering who she will choose (if either?, but I hope!), and still respect all three characters and honestly NOT having a "team" to be on. 
 InRelentless, Claire Nixon and Adam Parker each had a painful past too heavy to carry alone. Claire tried to push Adam away, but Adam's relentless pursuit of her heart and her secrets made her walls come crumbling down. 
 Though their hearts will never be whole again, Claire and Adam now know they are stronger together than they are apart. But as the book opens, Claire is attending college (the result of a promise made to Adam in Relentless), and Adam has been sent to Hawaii for business. Add to that, rock star Chris Knight is back in Clair's life, and refuses to leave her alone. How can Claire and Adam stay together with all of this distance and uncertainty? 
 Pieces of You is told through alternating perspectives between Adam, Claire and Chris, and while I really enjoyed 1st person POV from Claire only in Relentless, Cassia Leo really had to include the POV's of the two leading men, particularly with Adam in Hawaii. 
 Cassia Leo handled the relationships between these characters in a real and respectful manner where I don't feel any of the three did anything dirty or wrong in order to get what they wanted. Did they make mistakes? You bet! But, it was completely understandable the actions of all three. AND there was no cheating, which I find can be deplorable. The "love triangle" was heartbreaking, but done in such a manner that you really could equally root for either guy. 
 Adam still continues to crack his hilarious jokes. And, he continues to profess his love to Claire and to cling to their relationship, until he makes a huge decision that will break both of their hearts. The similarity between the decision Adam makes, and the one that Claire made to allow Chris to pursue his dream is not lost on me. Really, this book is about the decisions we make, and how those decisions impact not just yourself, but can have a lasting, ripple effect on those around you. 
 "How can you still love me after everything I've done to you?" 
 "How can I not? You're the love of my life. You don't stop loving someone just because they've hurt you. Yes, what you did hurt me, but I gain nothing if I stay angry with you. You're my everything. I just want you back." 
 Is love enough? I love too much? Claire must realize this and make the decision on her own, outside of what others want from her. 
 "No one know how to love me like you and no one knows how to hurt me like you." 
 Wow... just wow. 
 This book had my emotions going everywhere! Claire was clearly in love with Adam, but she was also still in love with Chris. Some of the exchanges between Adam and Claire were heart achingly sad. 
 From Adam's POV: 
 The only time you'll discover you've waited too long is when it's already too late. I opened up a new text message to Claire and begin typing. 
 Me: I came in 9th today. It reminded me of your birthday. I left something for you in my apartment. 
 I lay the phone on my bare stomach and close my eyes as I await her response. A few minutes later, the vibration startles me awake. 
 Claire: You broke my heart 
 And, can I just say,, that broke MY heart! 
 I loved this book! I was rooting for Adam, then hated him and rooted for Chris, then hated him, and finally, I am rooting for Claire. The end is another cliff-hanger that unfortunately I will have to wait all summer to find out what happens, when the last book of the trilogy comes out.
