Nothing But This (The Broken Pieces Book 2)

Lived it, not just loved..!!
I have been waiting for this book to be released since reading Harris and Tinas story, More than Anything. The way the story is narrated is simply distinct and detailed that I had lost my night's sleep to complete the book. Very well written with great insight into each character's thoughts and behaviour that after reading ALL the books by the author now I feel that I know a town and its people so closely.If you like reading hate to love or broken to blessed stories or any book in this genre you can pick this series or any of the book by Natasha Anderse and I assure you a well spent worthy time..!! :)

Angsty love
Story of misunderstandings, love, betrayal and lots of angst. There is no cheating or other people drama. The entire drama is drawn from the main characters themselves who could have avoided it all by simply conversing more with each other.

Heroes in all forms....
Extremely well written - a good grasp of the language makes the reading quick and easy. Characters are individually and realistically cultivated and you can easily relate to each one of them. I have read nearly all her books and in each book the characters are seen through the eyes of the other characters and each one is unique ... there is no overlap or running theme. However, in each book the constant running is that each person has to come to self realization which makes the book a very poignant read and very very interesting.

Angst filled romance about second chances
4.5 starsEver since I read ‘More than Anything’, I have been waiting to read Libby and Greyson’s story. They had amazing chemistry and were so interesting as secondary characters.Nothing But This is all about second chances. Greyson abandons his wife, Libby, and daughter because he thinks she cheated on him. Livid, Libby leaves him and tries to start a life for herself. Realizing his mistake, he follows and then the groveling begins.Since I’m not a huge fan of second chance romance, I was hesitant If I would like the book but Natasha Anders just took this one to another level. A story where a couple tries to rediscover their love is only believable if there is a right amount of groveling and a really good reason that it would work the second time around. Anders got it right on both counts.Though Greyson did not start off as hero material, I ended up liking him once he started working on his issues. His growing relationship with his daughter was just adorable. Trust Anders to make me like a guy who had trust issues. While Greyson was dealing with his issues, Libby had her own set of faults. Was she unfair to Greyson? I don’t think so but she certainly was tone-deaf and insensitive to her BFF Tina. They all sort it out in the end and Libby does grow to be a more sensitive person. Everything gets tied up neatly with everyone getting their happy-ever-after and growing to be a mature version of themselves.I liked this book way more than the first one in the series and it re-enforced why I love reading Natasha Anders’s book. This is a definite read for romance lovers. While this can be read as a standalone, a lot of the scenes would add more insight if you have read the previous book.I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review

Sooo good and packed with emotion.
There are 2 books in this series and for me this is the better of the two. The first book, More Than Anything is about Harris and Tina and this book is about Greyson and Libby. Harris & Greyson are twins and Tina and Libby are best friends. Although you could read this book as a stand-alone I would strongly recommend that you read book 1 first because it gives this book more meaning and you get a deeper insight to all the characters.What is great about this book is that the author very skilfully manages to intertwine both books together so it’s like you are reading both books in parallel because Harris & Libby also feature a lot in this book as secondary characters and the role they play is key to the story. However, that does not take away from the story line at all and I found Greyson and Libby’s story much more meaningful.I thought this book was beautifully written and captivating from the get go. In the beginning you will positively hate Greyson because of what he does and how he behaves towards Libby but that part of the story quickly unfolds and you get to see, rather endearingly how Greyson makes up for it. At the beginning Greyson is a bit stilted in his personality as he only knows how to behave in a certain way. But then as the story develops you get to see all of Greyson’s flaws as the author slowly peels away under his personality to reveal the man he truly is and the man that he truly wants to be. There are some enlightening moments for Libby too when she has to recognise some of her short comings, but I was glad that she was no push over but a confident & strong woman.This is a story that’s packed with emotion and is full of love, compassion, understanding and forgiveness between best friends, between siblings and between lovers. A truly wonderful read.

absolutely brilliant
Loved this story between Libby and Greysontheir trials and tribulations to reach their hea were riveting. This story dovetailed so well with Tina’s and Harris’ story and we got the ending for both that was extremely satisfying. Not a quick read but one that keeps you turning the page. Highly recommend.

Fun Natasha Anders angst - but unforgiveable hero
In several books, we have a pregnant heroine being treated cruelly by misunderstanding spouse. I've been pregnant, and if someone was cold to me during my pregnancy - i'd never take them back. It's a terrifying time - where you need physical help much of the time. And then when she was in labor he didn't go, only to yell at her and reject their child without any kind of medical procedure to determine if he was, indeed, sterile.Child birth is super dangerous. I almost died both times because of high blood pressure (pre-eclampsia) and my children - although not as sick as I was - could have also died from my condition. If a man yells at a woman who's just given birth, how could she get past that? I'd be terrified to have his baby again. I'd wake up screaming from the nightmares of how he treated me if i got pregnant again.
