Blurb:“Can three broken pieces make a whole?
Josiah Evans is the orphan who lost both his parents. He’s sweet, shy, and all heart. He wants nothing more than to be loved.
Mateo Sanchez is the son of a gang leader. He’s seen it all, and never hesitates to do what needs to be done, no matter what it is.
Tristan Croft is the wealthy attorney who clawed his way up from the bottom to rule his own world. He’ll never depend on anyone but himself again.
Three men who couldn’t be more different…and yet, as their lives intersect they find an uncommon balance that calms the storms inside each of them, and ignites fires hotter than they ever thought imaginable.
Told uniquely in three parts and spanning over ten years, BROKEN PIECES is a journey of healing for three fragmented souls, finding love in the unlikeliest of places—with each other.

Review: This is one of the best stories I have read in a long time. It was truly beautiful and sweet. It did have its moments but turned out to be a wonderful story. It shows the strengths people have when they are going through such a trying time. When there are two paths to take and the directions the go to. The ability to overcome such pain, anger, and heartache. To turn those negative feelings into what each one of us truly needs and that is love, the feeling of belonging and friendship.
Josiah and Mateo met when Mateo was put into the foster system and joined him in the home where he was. Mateo was an angry young man who had been raised basically in one of the worst New York gangs ever. He had lost his mom to murder, his father to prison and he had been taken away from the gang. A gang he really didn’t want to be with but figured it was what he deserved. Josiah had lost his family to an accident and even with the pain of loss. He was sweet, innocent, and very loving. With Josiah’s help, Mateo wanted more of the life with Josiah. However, his past never really left, so ending it harshly with Josiah he left. Josiah spent the next several years in pain, missing his love. However he did what Mateo had wanted him to, he lived. Then one day Josiah meets Tristan and even though they had their hard times, he wanted a life with this man. However, he still missed Mateo and loved him each day. Tristan had a hard life similar to Mateo, just not with gangs. He was an attorney who sent people to jail and had a mother he loved. He was hard in most ways. However, he was slowly learning to love. When Mateo comes back into Josiah’s life, things get complicated. However, they can make it work. It doesn’t hurt that Josiah’s and Tristan love life is hot and very loving, but then you add in Mateo and the sheets are set on fire.
This story makes me think of what really can happen when people take the wrong path or the right path. That they can destroy their lives or have everything they ever wanted. It is such a tender story that will make you cry at times or want to smack one of them. It comes off so real to me, that I wish they had gone through a different life. To know what they went through, what they gave up protecting the other and what they will get for a reward. I am glad to have had the chance to read this story. It was amazing.
