Pieces of You by Cassia Leo (Shattered Hearts #2)

Available now!


Claire Nixon is only twenty-one, but her heart has been shattered and put back together more times than she can count. Finding solace in meditation and a change of location, she thought she had buried her painful secret for good.

Then she met the persistent and sexy Adam Parker. Adam’s pursuit of Claire’s heart and her secret nearly destroyed them, but their love was relentless.

With no more secrets between them, Claire and Adam thought they had it all figured out. Though they knew they’d never be whole again, their love had survived the test. Until Claire’s rock star ex-boyfriend, Chris Knight, came back.

Now Chris has promised to mend the final piece of Claire’s broken heart as only he can. With Claire attending college a hundred miles away from Adam and Adam’s busy travel schedule, Chris’s offer looks more and more enticing.

This is book two in the Shattered Hearts series, and the sequel to USA Today Bestseller Relentless.

What to read after For You. Mimi's best sellers

Hello, new friends!

After nearly a week in the Amazon Top 100 list, For You has been a hit with readers. Mimi is already working on a new, top-secret novel. It will be another stand-alone, complete novel with a HEA ending, and Mimi sure hopes you like it.

In the meantime, if you'd like to check out the other books Mimi has published over the last few months, here's the Top 6 list in order of popularity:

1. For You - Mimi's current hottest book, and a USA TODAY Bestseller!

Aubrey is a tough girl on the run from her past. She lies to everyone and keeps people at a distance to protect her secret.

Sawyer comes from a wealthy family, but chooses the difficult path in life. He tortures himself by wanting what he can't have, so the more Aubrey pushes him away, the more he's drawn to her.


FOR YOU is a stand-alone novel with a HEA (Happily Ever After) ending and absolutely no cliffhanger.

Available now at Amazon.com | Amazon.co.ukBarnes & Noble | AllRomanceEbooks | Kobo


2. Borrowed Billionaire - This erotic romance was released in 5 parts originally, and the boxed set is equal to a long novel. It's also CHOCK full of sex, with a bit of plot for fun. (It's my humorous take on the whole Fifty Shades of Grey type of story.)

Very, very naughty. And readers LOVE it.

Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | AllRomanceEbooks | iTunes


3. Typist / Billionaire Novelist - Billionaire bad boys sure are popular! The twist with this one is the billionaire is a novelist, and the protagonist is a college graduate he's hired to type for him. This was also a serial release, and story #4 is mostly from the Billionaire's Point of View.  

ALPHA-MALE WARNING! Smith F**ing Wittingham has been known to get under readers' skin.

Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk | AllRomanceEbooks | Kobo | Barnes & Noble | iTunes | Paperback


4. Her Teddy Bear - This erotic serial started out as a stand-alone short story, but readers held Mimi down and tickled her until she gave them more Trevor.

This is a very sexy, comfort read with a hero that readers can relate to as a "regular guy." The 3 stories in the boxed set are equal in length to one novel.

Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk | AllRomanceEbooks | Kobo | Barnes & Noble | iTunes


5. Kissing Coach - This one's more like For You than any of my other books, as there's more of a romance build-up before the physical intimacy.

This book started as a quirky little idea that just came to Mimi one day, starting with the title. She had to write it, because she was dying to read it! Mimi meant for this one to be a short story, but it grew to be novella length, and then just a little more, into a novel.

We would categorize this as erotic chick-lit, if that was a category.

6. Laura's Two Ice Cream Boys - Like Her Teddy Bear, this erotic serial started out as a short story and grew from there. As the name suggests, there are two love interests. It also contains a proposal scene that is sweeter than ice cream. (And a villain who will have you screaming at your ereader.)

For You by Mimi Strong


“Characters so real, they jump off the page, and a gripping story rich with Mimi Strong's trademark wit and warmth.”

Aubrey is a tough girl who rarely smiles. She fled her shabby past for a reason, and won't let anyone close enough to discover her secrets.

Boys with tattoos are on Aubrey's Stay Away list, but fast-talking Sawyer refuses to take a hint.

Sawyer is a kindred spirit who seems as lost in the world as Aubrey. And he's cute. Really cute.

She tries to resist, but Sawyer talks his way into one date, and then another. Things get steamy at the beach, and he does say the sweetest things. Aubrey finds herself smiling, and falling in love.

But when the truth comes out about Aubrey's past, and the police are at the door, will Sawyer stand by her side? Or is she more trouble than she's worth?

THIS NEW ADULT ROMANCE contains mature content. Ages 17+

FOR YOU is a stand-alone novel with a HEA (Happily Ever After) ending and absolutely no cliffhanger.

Advance reviews - Readers LOVE For You! (Available this Friday)

(From Goodreads.com - reviews from Advance Review Copies)

P.J Belden:

"This book was great start to finish. I read it in a single sitting. I couldn’t put it down. Most of the time, I was either laughing, about in tears, or biting my nails. The flow was great in this book. It didn’t skip or stall at any points in the book. And because of this I was able to enjoy a great love story in the making."

Sam Stettner:
"Smith F@#$^%* Wittingham was basically dethroned in this book by the one and only,Sawyer Jones, I love Smith and his crazy antics and personality, but Sawyer takes the title in this amazing book."

Gloria Herrera:
"This gripping story touches the heart. Normally, Mimi Strong's stories have a lighthearted side as well as angst. This story probes deeper into the psyche of a young woman on the brink. The awesome responsibilities of parenthood for a teenager, and a chilling secret she keeps from everyone to protect the mother who abandoned her. A must read! Bravo, Mimi!"

AVAILABLE APRIL 19TH
Mary Cook:
"I honestly I loved the book and couldn't put it down.(Hence it being 3am) A guy with tats whats not to love right? No but seriously I want more of Sawyer and Aubrey! Something about their story just pulled me in and had me asking all these questions. I am all about romance books but I hate how some are so predictable, and For You, I couldn't guess what was going to happen. Which I personally appreciated. So if you ask me if I am going to recommend this book? My answer would be yes. :)"

A hearty thank-you to all the readers who have been kind enough to share their thoughts on the Advance Review Copies of For You!

Thank you guys so much! All the full reviews are on Goodreads, and I'm just going to quote a few right here:

From Ashely (Goodreads review)

"Even though it was intense at times because of Aubrey's past it was funny. I mean laughing out loud, rereading sections to my husband so he can know why I was laughing so hard I was holding my stomach funny."

"This is a must read book. I read it in a few hours because I couldn't stop reading it! I recommend it to everyone and anyone and yes it's a book that you can read over and over again and not be bored."

From Jennifer Boni (Goodreads review)
"Thank you Mimi Strong for giving us Sawyer!!! Love him... I love how strong he is and the dynamic between him and Aubrey. Definitely one of my favorites so far this year. This story brings you on an emotional roller coaster... Don't want to give any spoilers.. A must read!!!! Glad this book had closure.. but would be happy to see both Sawyer and Aubrey continue their story..."

From Amanda Ivey (Goodreads review)
"OMG another Mimi Strong book that had me wrapped until the very last word!!!

When I read a book I feel the emotion of the author’s words, the struggles, hurt, happiness, pleasure and success of each character and as always Mimi touched me deep. At one point I was so anxious about the story that I was afraid to read the next chapter, worried that the train wreck coming down the proverbial track would be too emotional to read. I kept reading...heart pounding, heart melting."

From Michelle: (Goodreads review)

"I laughed, held my breath (okay - I seriously stopped breathing there for a while), I even cried but I smiled. This was a story that pulled you in, you had to know the secrets you had your own assumptions as to what they could be... and I was so off. I am so glad I was so off. My heart would have been shattered. But you had to know. I picked this up and did not put it down, not for one second. I got up off the couch - kindle was in my hand. I ate dinner - Kindle was in my hand. Seriously non-stop reading to see what was going to happen, to know what had happened."

"I greatly enjoyed this story. It had enough drama to keep you from a sugar overdose. Aubrey was young, but her life caused her to have to be much older so you don't read it like it's coming from a twenty-one year old. You seem to forget that they are both young because they both have a maturity about them. I got everything I needed, a great romance, enough angst to rile me up but not cause me heartburn, sex that was hot, but not smutty and enough slow released information that held my attention as bits and pieces were released from the first to the last page. Well done Mimi Strong. After the Kissing Coach and this book I am a fan."
