Every Little Piece of Me was an enjoyable read featuring a great second chance romance.

Marston Rowe has been in love with Brinley Knox since the day they met at her sweet sixteen party. But Brinley came from one of the wealthiest families in Orchid Valley while Marston was the hired help so their romance was doomed from the start. After ten years apart, Marston runs into Brinley in Las Vegas and is determined to win her over. When their one night leads to them getting drunk and married, Marston thinks he finally has everything he's ever wanted. That is until he returns to the hotel and finds Brinley gone with just a note and the ring left behind. For six months Marston lets the situation ride but when he receives a wedding invitation for her marriage to another man, he realizes it's time to return to Orchid Valley and win back his wife.

The premise of Every Little Piece of Me intrigued me and I wondered how the author would explain Brinley getting married again while she was still married to Marston. I thought the explanation was a good one and it was interesting watching everything play out after she learns the truth. I will admit I was a little apprehensive going into the book though as I wasn't sure how long Brinley would remain engaged to the other guy and I was afraid the situation would feel like cheating. Thankfully that aspect of the plot was resolved fairly quickly so I was excited to see things play out between Brinley and Marston.

The connection between Brinley and Marston was so well done and I loved that we got flashback chapters so we could see how their original relationship played out. The flashbacks were heavier than I was expecting at times so fair warning that they involve some heavy topics. I liked getting to see Brinley and Marston get to know each other again in the present and that their relationship didn't immediately pick right back up. The two clearly still had issues to work out after how they left things ten years ago, not to mention their current predicament, and I thought that aspect was handled well. Their relationship did hit a bit of a snag near the end due to the pair not seeing a situation in the same light but I was happy with the way they managed to resolve things.

Overall Every Little Piece of Me was a great read and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series, Every Sweet Regret, soon.

Anything Lexi Ryan writes is amazing! Her books always make you wanting more. Her stories are so engaging and her characters are so in depth. Just love her books!

This book was okay. Not my favorite. Found it hard to relate or find depth in them. This book felt like it was lacking something.

I absolutely loved this book! Brinley and Marston are FIRE together. This is my first book by this author and it was nothing short of amazing. The history and chemistry between the two was off the charts. 5 stars from me and I will definitely be reading more from this author soon.

5 SO MUCH LOVE STARS!! The author Lexi Ryan gave us the series of the Harbour brothers and here comes a new and exciting adventure the The Orchid Valley series first book and meet the characters Marston Rowe and Brinley Knox , high school sweethearts but life takes them both in different directions but not for trying and romance and adventures start with Vegas. I absolutely loved this story!! Marston and Brinley's story is so beautiful and touched every part of my heart. I was smiling the whole time I was reading the book. This author has given us the perfect second chance love story with her phenomenal storytelling. This is one book you should read.

This slow-burn romance has all the ingredients to keep us captive: a hero we fall for, a palpable tension ...

On top of that, there is a gallery of supporting characters that promise some interesting tomes as well.

But now, there is a catch. It is impossible for me to appreciate Brinley.

Brinley grew up with a manipulative father whom she seeks affection at all costs. Because of this, she lets go of any chance of happiness. I could empathizewith her, I could. However, she is steeped in contradictions. She wants to be independent, she wants to do things on her own. In itself, this is ok. However, in reality, she lets herself depend on other men, on Julian, on her father. She works but relies on her family pension fund to buy the business of her dreams. She wants to reject any help but in the end she rejects the help that matters the most, love. She has a really too misplaced pride and time and time again I have wanted to slam Brinley.

It had been a while since this had happened to me but I did not like at all this heroine who undergoes the action rather than taking matters in hand. However, rationally, I understand his reasoning but nothing helps.

Result, my review is mixed. I was totally captivated by the story, by the passion that binds the heroes, but I have stayed detached and feel a huge annoyance towards a heroine that I find selfish.

Nevertheless, I will read the rest because I am very curious to read what the author has in store for us.

Melt-your-Kindle hot and a great romantic story. Loved this one!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Not a fan of this book at all. It seemed that all the men in this book were awful except Marston. And Brinley was just a doormat for said men. She wanted to be independent and do things for herself, yet NEVER did. EVERYTHING was taken care for her by these horrible men. And she never said a thing. Until Marston wanted to help her. Then it was "you can't just give me things". Ugg. And why would she even care one little bit about doing what her parents wanted?? He father was the worst offender in his treatment of her. Gross. No thank you!

Every Little Piece of Me is a great romance novel with two wonderful main characters, a great cast of supporting characters, and chemistry that jumps off the page. Binley and Marston are just amazing together, so much love and passion.

There are some triggers for people including cancer, death and verbal abuse - so warning if this is something you need to avoid.

I highly recommend this one and cannot wait to read more in the series.

ARC provided by NetGalley for an honest review.

I REALLY wanted to like this book. I thought the premise was good, it was a little too predictable. It had some of my favorite tropes, but I was disappointed in the execution.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is an intensely emotional, sexy love story that leaves you wreaked and unsatisfied. You know from the beginning that the hero wants and loves the heroine. Marston has finally reconnected with his childhood sweetheart and he can't hold back how much he wants her back. One hot night and a surprise drunken wedding leaves Brinley with plenty of regrets and that's what upsetting about this whole story. She clearly wants him just as bad and she still chooses to sleep with him then go back to her fiance that she forgot to mention she had. She invites him to her wedding after leaving him at the hotel. Who does that!! Just too much melodrama felt like high school again.
Overall, a sexy love story but too much drama to bring it home.

Every Little Promise, is the first book in the series but it has a prequel I’m sorry I missed . Even though there was a prequel it’s easy to get a absorbed in the story line. We meet Marston and Brinley who had there young hearts broken all due to their social standings . They meet again years later in Vegas when marston has made it big for himself , sparks fly and it makes for one steamy night . Brinley however has some secrets she should really share with Marston, some are a decade overdue, others much newer.

This story grips you from the first page! Can’t wait to see the others in this series

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

Every Little Piece of Me is a second chance at first love. It's a surprise marriage and an awkward engagement. But its also true love winning out over family drama, internal demons, and Brin and Mars getting in their own way.

Visit Orchid Valley. Come for the spa and stay for the people. I'm really hoping to find out about Stella's happily ever after.

[Thanks Netgalley for the ebook. This review is my honest opinion but just another opinion, you should read this book and judge it by yourself] //REVIEW IN ENGLISH TO COME//
3-3'5 stars.
Si te gusta la contemporánea sexy con tensión sexual y maromazo absolutamente maravilloso, este puede que te guste, aunque también te digo que vas a tener la sensación de haberlo leído porque es otro de tantos. Reconozco que he estado muy entretenida porque me encantan los libros de segundas oportunidades y más si el maromazo es fabuloso y un buen tío, sin lado capullesco, pero que tuvieran una historia pasada tan bonita, un reencuentro tan megasexy y una segunda parte donde desde un principio se desvelan los sentimientos hace que el libro no tenga tensión alguna en el plano sentimental, lo que hace todo más flojo. El arc de Netgalley incluye el relato previo en el que los protagonistas se reencuentran tras diez años sin verse y vamos alternando (tanto en el relato como en el libro) el momento presente con el pasado, para, al final, tener una visión completa de su amor.
Como ya os he dicho, Marston es fabuloso, pero Brinley me ha flojeado más. Entiendo que su comportamiento está muy dictado por su pasado, por el ambiente en el que se ha criado y por esa especie de culpa universal que le han metido en la cabeza, pero me habría gustado verle algo más de nervio y de carácter en ciertas circunstancias. A pesar de que lo acaba sacando, creo que acaba siendo una especie de títere y me ha parecido un personaje bastante flojo.
De todos modos, lo he leído bien, me parece que Lexi Ryan es bastante solvente escribiendo y este libro, si bien no te va a cambiar la vida y lo vas a olvidar rápido, te hace pasar un buen rato mientras lo lees (por cierto, no hay mucho guarrerismo ni se eternizan contándolo). Además, los personajes secundarios me han parecido bastante atractivos y tengo ganas de leer sus historias.
No le doy más nota porque el tramo final me ha parecido bastante simplón, facilón y hasta un pelín cursi, pero en general no ha estado mal.

Brinley and Martson go way back to when they were in high school, but it’s been ten years since they last saw each other and it did not end well, how will their meeting go and is this their second chance at being together.

The chapters go back and forth between the present and their past, I really liked the backstory chapters, I wish there was more of them.
I didn’t really like what was happening in the present ones.

I do get irritated when there is a character that they know for years but suddenly they change just to serve the story, so that was one of the things I didn’t like.

Writing style was fun but a little explicit for my taste.

But I really like all of the ladies of Orchid Valley, when they are together it is so much fun and that is a good sign as it is a series about them.

Overall a fun fast read.

If I could give this book more stars I would.. Forbidden love, secret love... Shocking twists.... Oh my goodness.... Even made me a little bit teary eyed...

This is the first book in a new series, The Orchid Valley series, about a group of best friends finding their true love. The first book, and the included prequel, is the long love story of Brinley and Marston. After 10 years these 2 are reunited in Vegas for one night. Little does Brinley know that 1 night would change her life as she knew it. 6 months later back home in the Orchid Valley Brinley is prepared to marry Julian, her marriage of convenience fiance, when her first true love returns to fight not only for their love but to show everyone what he has made of himself. Marston was the boy from the wrong side of the tracks that met Brinley at her 16th birthday party that he was working at. These 2 fell fast and the only reason they broke up was after her family caught them in bed together. Brinley asked Marston to leave town and not to look back later.

I loved this story and can not wait for the second in the series, Stella and Kace. I was so happy to hear that this is the second couple to be featured because I am really intrigued by Stella and her back story. I just wish it was coming out next month instead of the end of 2020. I need my fill of this series now!!

Thank you to netgalley and Lexi Ryan for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

It was an ok story, A little predictable (secret baby, drunk wedding, domineering parents..... There could have been more character development.

A big thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read + review this delicious story! 4.5 stars!

I absolutely loved (and devoured) this spicy little book! The characters were perfection together... alone however, Brinley had a tendency to grate on my
nerves. Not a bad thing, it actually added the slightly angsty feel that balanced out the book nicely. But together... oh baby. Only adding to the their already sizzling connection is the fact their past was so very sweet. So often, reading the ‘past’ backstories bore me. This time though, it added so much strength and conviction to learning the true heart of our protagonists.

Boy OH BOY will I be back for every story in the Orchid Valley series!!

A side note: Make sure to read the prequel, Every Little Promise first. It’s a must, and crucial to understanding the story.
