Pieces of a Life
Colten & Josie:
Part One (Life Series Duet Book 1)
by Jewel E. Ann
Pieces of a Life, part one in an all-new duet in the Life series by Jewel E. Ann is now live!
The summer before fourth grade, Colten Mosley moved into the house across the street from mine, and we became inseparable.
He played the piano and baseball.
I had a penchant for dead things while at the same time imagining what it would be like to kiss Colten.
We were filled with curiosity and overly active imaginations.
We were also forbidden to be more than friends.
But that didn’t stop us.
Weeks before graduation, he annihilated my heart, and it’s been seventeen years since the day I knew I’d hate him forever.
Now he’s back in my life–a single dad and a homicide detective looking over my shoulder while I perform autopsies as one of Chicago’s most gifted forensic pathologists. Then fate throws us a curveball.
Colten saves my life, but he can’t erase the images that now keep me awake at night. And I can’t explain them.
Am I still the girl he’s always loved? Or nothing more than pieces of that life?

Favorite Quotes:
“Josie, just… don’t move. You could have broken something.” Colten flies down the stairs after me. I broke something alright. My pride, her sister Dignity, and Dignity’s cousin Self-Esteem. It’s taken Colten less than a week to reduce me to the young, shattered-ego girl I was the day I left for college. He’s a perpetual thorn in my side. He’s necrotizing fasciitis— a flesh eating infection that can’t be contained.
Now, I’m imagining the largest penises I have ever seen and mentally placing them onto my dad like part of a Mr. Potato Head. I’m ruined. Scarred for life.
His gaze sweeps over my face, the way someone takes in a breathtaking view. I feel it everywhere.
My Review:
Jewel-E-Ann is found treasure, she churns out heart-squeezing and intricate tales featuring complicated, infuriating, and endearing characters with profoundly poignant insights and breath-stealing romance. I am enamored and captivated with her latest couple and have vastly enjoyed their verbal sparring and clever quips.
Weaving in and out of their childhood histories, past and present romance, and their lives apart, were threads of family drama, intrigue, and a centuries-old crime with a paranormal twist. Yikes, I wasn’t expecting such a heinous cliffhanger which has me stamping my little foot in pique! Thankfully the wait is just a few weeks, I might not be able to bear it otherwise.
Jewel is a Wall Street Journal & USA Today best-selling author with a quirky sense of humor. When she’s not saving the planet one tree at a time, you can find her role modeling questionable behavior to her three boys, binge-watching Netflix with her husband, and writing mind-bending romance.
