Missing Pieces Series, Book Three

As Justin’s recovery moves forward, Dallas dares to hope their lives are settling into their new normal. His money worries have eased, business is picking up, and best of all, Justin now laughs more than he frowns.

Justin’s memory still eludes him, but with each snippet or flashback, small pieces of his old life start to slot into place. He remembers more of Dallas and how perfectly happy their lives used to be, and with each passing day, Justin realises he can have that again.

But when someone from Justin’s past turns up, he discovers that not all the missing pieces are good, and sadly, he and Dallas also learn just what it means to live with a traumatic brain injury.

If Dallas and Justin have to fight for their Happily Ever After, then Dallas will stop at nothing—nothing—to give Justin the life he always wanted.

“. . . as I tried to put the puzzle of myself back together, it was the pieces of us that made me whole.”

My Rating - 5 Stars!

NR Walker's Pieces of Us, the third and final book in the Missing Pieces series, is fabulous. 

 

Oh, how I have come to love these men through their journey. Justin's accident could have ended them, but instead it worked to further strengthen them. 

In this last installment of their tale, Justin is interested in restarting their sex lives, which leads to some entertaining, as well as serious moments. He's also dealing with his past, his present, and struggling to find his purpose in the world. 

The emotions are heavy in this series, fully bringing the reader into everything the men are experiencing. I laughed, I cried, and I fell in love with these men. The character development of these men is spectacular, but don't ever worry about their love, as that is present at every moment. Rather than worrying about love, this is the journey of two men finding their way through the worst of circumstances and traversing their new reality. Every single moment is amazing. 

The author continues to take these men on an intriguing journey, with these two fascinating characters. It's definitely a thought-provoking journey for the reader. Not many people are as strong as these two. I'm not a stickler for reality in my romances, but the author definitely takes these two on a path that is realistically possible and handles it with care. 

Most impressive of all however, is the way the author sprinkles plenty of light hearted moments throughout, keeping the seriousness from overwhelming the reader. Some of the dialogue had me laughing out loud.

Basically if you haven't started reading the Missing Pieces series yet, start now. The entire series is absolutely amazing, with this ending, Pieces of Us, being the perfect way to cap off the series. NR Walker was one of my early M/M reads, and she continues to be one of my favorite authors in the genre.

Juss got up from his seat and sat on my lap. I had to pull my chair out a bit so he could fit, but he just sat right down and put his arm around my shoulder, his forehead pressed to mine. “Remember how you said we choose our own family?”

I nodded.

“Well, I’ve chosen mine.” He kissed me soundly. Then he picked up my fork and stabbed some meat and brought it to my lips. “Open wide.”

I laughed and he shoved the fork in my mouth. “You’re gonna feed me?” I asked.

“For all the times you helped me, now it’s your turn.”

He continued to feed me until my plate was empty and he even had some more of his own. It was fun and cute, we laughed a lot, and it had been far too long since we’d done anything fun and cute. The fact that he punctuated every forkful with a kiss made it even better.

He put the fork down and turned his full attention to me. “You know,” he said with a kiss. “I slept a lot today, so I’m not too tired.”

I chuckled because I was pretty sure I knew where he was going with this. “Is that so?”

He kissed me again, a little softer, more playful. “And we did get those test results back.”

I hummed, not too sure if he was up for anything rigorous. “You’re supposed to be on bed rest.”

He smiled. “So take me to bed.”

N.R. Walker is an Australian author, who loves her genre of gay romance. She loves writing and spends far too much time doing it, but wouldn’t have it any other way.

She is many things: a mother, a wife, a sister, a writer. She has pretty, pretty boys who live in her head, who don’t let her sleep at night unless she gives them life with words.

She likes it when they do dirty, dirty things… but likes it even more when they fall in love.

She used to think having people in her head talking to her was weird, until one day she happened across other writers who told her it was normal.

She’s been writing ever since…
