NOTHING BUT THIS (Broken Pieces #2)

NOTHING BUT THIS                        NATASHA ANDERS

A married couple yearns to rediscover lost love in this novel about forgiveness, reconciliation, and emotional growth.

It’s always been complicated between Libby Lawson and Greyson Chapman—and married life isn’t any simpler. But when Libby gets pregnant, she, at last, sees a bright future ahead. There’s just one problem: Greyson says he’s sterile.

Furious, Greyson abandons the young family. Equally furious and deeply hurt, Libby cuts all ties with him. After all these years, it seems their relationship has finally expired. But love is resilient and endures even when you don’t want it to. Greyson still longs for Libby, and though Libby’s heartbroken by Greyson’s lack of trust, she holds out hope for a complete, happy family.

And so they embark on the journey back to each other, wary of all the obstacles between them. It’s been a long road already—one strewed with fear, doubt, and misunderstandings. Will they keep looking to the past, or will they look to each other and walk hand in hand toward a broad new horizon?

MY REVIEW:

    This was a complex multi-layered love story. It was a story of growth, fear, friendship, family, and so much more. How one man’s imagination ran away from him into the dark depths where his demons took his good sense.

     We are looking at the life of Greyson a serious man by nature. He was born serious as his twin brother and his childhood acquaintance used to tease him. Even as a child it was his twin who was the chance taker, the loud one, and the outgoing one. Harris always did their bidding. But as they got older it became the good cop bad cop situations. Greyson, as you may have guessed, was, the heavy.

     Now, the boys come from a very wealthy family and employed in their service was a couple, with a daughter, Olivia (Libby). She was much younger than them, by four years. But it didn’t stop Harris and her from being best buds.

     Libby adored Harris. They were best friends and he treated her like the sister they never had. Greyson was always on the sidelines watching never quite knowing where and how to fit in. So, in the end, he would go off by himself. Then, one day Libby’s heart fell for Grey. She followed him everywhere. At fourteen, however, he all of a sudden told her enough she was no longer to follow him. She was heartbroken. Never did it again, she avoided him at all cost.

     When Grey came home from college, that first summer after being away. He caught sight of Libby in the kitchen with her parents. She was now sixteen and in those two years she had grown is to a gorgeous young lady. It had blown him away. She had blossomed into a beauty and he felt awful for turning her away those two years ago. 

     He knew now it was the right thing to do. He had to stay far away from her while at home because his thoughts were not pure ones and she was far too young. He wanted her more than he could say. So, he knew he had to keep track of her. In hopes of one day having his chance to be her one.

     Now, her parents were finally retired, she had completed college, and was well on her way to a booming career. He found out she would be at a party, so he figured it was a perfect time to run into her. Although, things became hot and heavy fast. Libby is so happy with the way things have come together with her and Grey. She has no clue of the bumpy ride they are about to encounter.

     When trust issues that are only imagined lead to betrayal there’s no hope of salvaging this relationship or is there?

     See how Grey and Libby navigate this bumpy ride in order to provide for the child on the way. I give this: 5++++ stars. Provided by netgalley.com. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com.
