Falling to Pieces
When Teagan Lewis moves from rural Montana to the bright lights of London with her maker Thomas, she expects to live as harmoniously as she has for the last one hundred-fifty years.
Teagan didn’t know she had a heart or soul until she met Marc Romano.
However, it quickly becomes clear that Marc is forbidden fruit. All the signs that he isn’t human were there from the beginning, but she chose to ignore them…to her peril.
Can she simply walk away from this mesmerizing stranger? Or should she risk her immortality to be with the man she has fallen in love with?

I Loved this Book!
I have to admit I never was that into the whole vampire thing, but this book caught my attention. The characters are more real, not the tipical "good girl" as main character, Teagan, knows what she wants and she's going against everyone and everything to be with the one she loves. The plot is very interesting, it has it all; romance, action, suspense, family tradition, drama and I just couldn't put the book down. I can't wait for the next book to be released. Congratulations to L.T.Kelly you got a new fan!

I truly loved writing this book. Teagan has been living in my mind for many many years. I considered this the right time to let her out.
I am so grateful to anyone that reads this book. I'd love for everyone to love it as much as I do! I'm busy working on 'Falling Apart'. I'm hoping it will be released February or March 2014.
Thank you.

I honestly don't know where to start with this review, how to get the words from my mind to my fingers to the screen. It would take a whole novel to really tell you why I enjoyed this book so much, but I'll try to keep it short and sweet, and of course, non-spoilery!
I haven't read a book about vampires in so long that I couldn't honestly name you the last one I read. There was a time when vampires were all I read and I devoured so many books about them, but in recent times, it seems I cannot find one that intrigues me enough for me to pick it up. Sure, I still have unread vampire books on my Kindle, but when I come to choosing what to read, they are never at the top of the pile.
All that changed when I saw Falling To Pieces. I don't know what came over me but I felt this intense desire, this deep need to read this book. And let me tell you, I am extremely glad I did. LT Kelly has this way of drawing you in and not letting you go, it's like she has the ability to cloud your mind so that all you see is her story and her characters become these real, tangible people that are there for you to discover and have fun while you do it.
Does that sound silly to you? Maybe it does, but all I can tell you is for two days this book consumed me and I wouldn't have had it any other way. The character building was phenomenal. The world building was unquestionably imaginative and unique. The passion with which LT Kelly writes is what really sucks you in though. You can feel her love for and bond with each and every character, both good and bad.
Teagan is a wonderful young vampire, living with her maker, Thomas. She does everything she is told without question. That is, until the night they arrive from America. They've moved to England and Teagan needs to feed. Whilst in search of something to snack on, she finds herself lusting after something else, a smell so intoxicating, she begins to feel desire for the first time in her vampire life - one-hundred and fifty years. Teagan cannot fathom the pooling of desire she is feeling and doesn't know what to do about it - she isn't even sure of exactly what it is she is feeling, so how does she satiate her desire?
Marc is a mystery. He's an enigma. Charismatic, devilishly handsome and of course, smells so intoxicating. He's desirable on all levels. Only, there's something that Teagan can't put her finger on, something 'other' about him. But he's not a vampire, she'd know if he was.
With how drawn she has become to Marc, will she find out 'what' he is and if she does, will it have an impact on the future of their relationship? Is what she feels for him too good to be true? Could it just be blood-lust?
How will their respective families feel about the unexpected union of the two? What will the fallout be? Can Teagan and Marc survive all that is to come their way?
There are so many questions here, and yet I cannot give you the answers you seek. Instead you must dive into the world of Teagan and Marc, using your heart to guide you.
Beautifully written, intricately woven with intrigue, desire, love, lust, guilt, hurt and betrayal, Falling To Pieces is an emotion-coaster that once you get off, you are left feeling the desire to go through it all over again just to be near the ones you have come to love. How LT Kelly managed to make me feel such powerful emotions over this, I will never know. I swooned over Marc. I felt stabbed in the back on Teagan's behalf. I wanted so much to hurt Gabriella, not to mention others along the way. My feelings were so up and down. One minute I was happy, the next, I was plummeted so low that I was crying over my Kindle. This is definitely going straight to the top of two piles, one is my 'to-be-read-again' and the other is 'most favourite'.

Falling to Pieces by: L.T. Kelly 5 Fantastic Stars
“Together we are magical beings. This would only be a perfect thing. A perfect and true love.”
This debut novel is great! She will have many more great ones to come if this first book is any indication.
“I ran on, the earthly scents of the world consuming me, opening me up like a blooming flower. The rain dripped through the branches and the leaves coating my skin with their untainted aroma.”
Teagan a lost soul who lived a battered human life and a lonely vampire life. Yes she has her “father” and a few friends, but she has always felt empty. She has never had a lover since her vampire life, has never even had the urge to have sex, until Marc.
“When I took him into my mouth fully, a long growl escaped his throat. I speed my fingers up, rubbing my nub harder and faster. Knowing how much I affected him caused a throbbing in my core, a throb that begged to be released. He was the only person that had me ache with such longing.”
Marc a werewolf always trying to do what is best for his family and his Pac never trying to find true happiness because he has a duty a duty he must follow through with for the sake of the Pac.
“I love you”, he said, his voice barley a whisper and choked with emotion. “I need you to know, if I die, that I loved you from the moment I saw you.”
A chance meeting between Teagan and Marc and there is an instant connection, hot sex and great chemistry and they fall in love what could go wrong? Little do they know there is a law forbidding them to be together?
“I love this man to the very depths of my soul; a soul didn’t even know I had. He’d found it and set it free, and if I must die because of having meet him, then so be it. To know he felt the same about me would make my death seem somehow worthwhile.”
Will family ties and vampire/werewolf laws keep these two apart or will they beat the odds and find happily ever after.
“Because of you, my head was always in the clouds, always in the clouds,” he corrected himself, rolling his eyes. “This room is the top of the house, and most of all, I’ve slept here with you, made love to you. I wanted somewhere where I could come to think of you.”
Holy shit that book was WOW. Just Wow! It is full of sensuality, Sexuality, mystery, and left u sitting at the edge of your seat. I just could not read this book fast enough. I have not read a paranormal romance that good in God knows how long. The chemistry between Marc and Teagan was off the wall. I cannot wait till the next book to see what is going to happen between the two. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

This is L.T.Kelly Debut Novel and I have to say I’m very impressed very impressed indeed.
It’s a well written book with a storyline I adored and one I read in one sitting. In fact I was so engrossed I got to the end and shouted “NO don’t end there” I wanted to carry on reading the story. Now I’m left sat here wanting more needed to know what Teagan does next.
The characters are great especially Teagan she’s not a whiny woman she knows what she wants and even if it’s wrong to the Vampires around her she goes out there and gets it.
Marc her love interest is just lovely he is so sweet and I’m glad he did what he does near the end and stands up for himself. These two belong to each other it’s that plain and simple. But I don’t think it’s going to be that easy in the second book I think they might have to fight for their love.
Bartholomew intrigues me I actually find him a bit sexy and I want to know more about him. He has he eyes on Teagan to so I’m thinking he’s going to play a big part in the next book.
I will be stalking L.T.Kelly to find out when the next book will be out as I really need to know what happens next and I have my fingers crossed for Marc and Teagan.
If you love Vampire and Werewolf’s stories with some Romance and a few hot sex scenes then get this book you won’t be disappointed.

I rather enjoyed this very quick read by L.T Kelly! I read it in about two hours, however, I have to admit I did thoroughly enjoy it. I was left wanting SO much more!! There was some rather explicit sexual content but nothing to over the top! I appreciate the fact that Mrs. Kelly doesn't ramble on with character descriptions relentlessly unlike one other certain Author I am reading right now! It was very refreshing that Mrs. Kelly didn't ramble on with undesired content, she stuck with the story and kept on key!
Teagan is a vampire and this is her story from her POV!! I like that Mrs. Kelly didn't try to make Teagan into a straight up hardass who is overly liberated and has a smart ass mouth on her like so many authors tend to do where a female heroine is concerned! Teagan is girly, lethal, has a capacity of being kind, and doesn't mind showing her feminine side! That, to me, makes for an amazing heroine.
I was ultimately left wondering what will happen next and that, all to often, isn't the case with the latest vampire novels I have read. This book is anything but typical. I loved it and If LT Kelly releases another book in this series I will definitely be purchasing the next one! (-;
This ebook was sent to me by the Author LT Kelly {for free} to read and review. She in no way asked for my good review in exchange for her book free.. My opinions are my own!

This is the first book that I've truly enjoyed in ages. It was the cover that first caught my eye, and I have to say this book did not disappoint. I hope there are more books planned to make it a series, I have to know where this is going. If you have a broad mind or just fancy a good read, then this is the book for you.

I absolutely loved this book, it was very different to what I have normally read, a vampire and werewolf who owns a Harley Davidson oh my! Hot hot hot ;-) I would suggest people reading this if they haven't already! You will love it! Cliff hanger alert like OMG made me want to read more!!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I normally don't read books of this genre. I loved the cover so my curiosity was piqued. Teagan is something else. There are tons of novels about vampires on the market. I have to admit I enjoyed this one. Yes, it has romance, action, suspense, and a bit of drama. Just the right mix of everything. I am new to reading this author but she is one I will be sure to watch out for.

Author provided book in exchange for an honest review.
I've read a lot of paranormal romances - many of which included vampires and werewolves. A lot of those texts focused on the hatred of the two groups and their quest to "take out" one another. While L.T. Kelly's Falling to Pieces continues this feud, it is more behind the scenes, not thoroughly explained, so that readers question the reasons behind their abhorrence and why, as long as there is no fraternization, these two supernatural groups can coexist.
This policy is broken by the main character, Teagan, a vampire who suffered exponentially in her human life, and up until now, has led a very lonely, asexual life as a vampire. Marc's scent is all it takes for Teagan to feel feelings and desires that she has never experienced before, and Marc reciprocates those emotions from the first time he meets her at his bar.
Teagan and Marc's connection is instantaneous, but they know nothing about one another. As their true identities are revealed and family interference ensues, Teagan and Marc are torn apart and left to question not only how and if they can be together, but also, who they are and what they want out of their individual lives as well.
Falling to Pieces is a fast paced read that leaves readers with many questions by the time they get to the end, and while the hope is that the answers will be revealed in Book Two, I still would have liked a bit more background about the Assembly, Teagan's relationship with her maker, Thomas, and Marc's family. Romance and action is a great combination, but at times in the story, it felt rushed, and by the time I wrapped my mind around one situation, another came in to play, and I didn't feel like I truly understood all that took place in the short time that Teagan and Marc were together.
Overall, I enjoyed Falling to Pieces; it is a quick read with a feisty female lead and hawt hero. The sex scenes are passionate; they illustrate Teagan and Marc's ardor for one another on more than a physical level, which is needed to truly understand how they can love each other in such a short amount of time together. I hope that more back story is given in the second book, so that I can get a better picture of who the Assembly is and why they are so adamant to keep vampires and werewolves separate. I also would like some insight into Teagan's past and why Thomas did what he did to save her from that life. My need to find out what happens between Teagan and Marc will keep me impatiently waiting for book two!

Let me start by saying, I LOVE Paranormal Romance books that have Vampires and Werewolves in the story line. So, when the author, who is part of a Goodreads Group I am a member of, offered it up for reading and reviewing, I jumped up and down and snatched it up and couldn't wait to dive into her debut novel.
In a remote area of Montana, Teagan lived a boring and lonely life for a vampire until her maker, Thomas, decides it's time to move on to the bustling city of London, England without any kind of explanation. Soon after they arrive, she goes out for food(meaning blood) and ends up finding something way better....that's right a hot guy who smells absolutely delicious and she can't figure out why.
Marc lives in London and owns some bars and bistros. He's hot, a business owner, drives a motorcycle and as sweet as any guy can be...Could he be anymore drool worthy?
She's not sure what he is. He's not sure what she is. What they are sure of is, they are both strongly attracted to one another. Their relationship is fast paced and yes there is some very hot sex involved. As soon as others find out about them seeing each other, things change and not for the good. Serious problems will arise for each of them. Can their relationship survive...can they?
I loved the story line and most of the characters. Some of the characters I hated but you'll have that in most books. There just has to be the bad/mean guys that you'd like to knock their damn heads off. This book was really fast paced for me, almost to the point of being rushed in some areas. After reading the whole book I was left with some questions that I hope are explained in book 2. The ending of the book was perfect. I love books that do not have any major cliff hangers at the end, otherwise you're stuck waiting for months if not longer for the second book to come out and I don't know about any of you but I'm impatient LOL. If the story line and characters are excellently done, that alone will make me purchase the second book when it is released. Falling to Pieces by L.T. Kelly is definitely one of those books that will make me buy the second book because it was well written. I'm excited to see what journey the author takes us on with Teagan and Marc in the second book. I highly recommend this new author and series.

*I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review*
**4.5 Stars **
Teagan Lewis must follow her maker from Montana to London to start another chapter of her life. What Teagan did not expect was to smell a different kind of blood. She knew from the moment she smelled him that he was different. Knowing he is not human but unaware of what he really is. She is drawn to a man and this is definitely a new feeling for her.
“You are the most sexy and beautiful one hundred and seventy two year old woman I’ve ever met.”
Marc Romano is a business owner that is mesmerized by Teagan the first time he meets her. Marc is a very special wolf in his pack being that he is the only one that can produce cubs.
With neither of them knowing about the law that forbids them to have a relationship they are falling in love and fast.
“Teagan.” He spoke my name as a warning in a low voice. “I want you to know that I don’t care what you are. To me, you’re you. Vampire or not, I want you in my life. I only hope you will still want me when you see what I am.”
When word gets out about their relationship they will have some choices to make. She will have to decide if she wants to risk her immortality to be with the man that she loves and he must decide if he wants to stay with his pack or be with the woman that he loves.
This book was definitely different from most of the vampire books that I have read. It has it all, the drama between two species of creatures, different kinds of rules, great chemistry and romance, and a not so ordinary love triangle. Did I say a great romance that is just HOT?
I am truly excited to continue on and start reading the second book in the series Falling into You.
My Favorite Moment: I actually had a lot of favorites. One of mine is when they decide to get intimate.
“My fangs extended against my will. I couldn’t prevent them any longer. Nor could I stop myself from pulling Marc closer to me, to get the right angle. The animal inside me had taken over. I drove my sharp teeth into the space just above his erect nipple as I exploded around him.”

“Teagan.” He spoke my name as a warning in a low voice. “I want you to know that I don’t care what you are. To me, you’re you. Vampire or not, I want you in my life. I only hope you will still want me when you see what I am.”
When word gets out about their relationship they will have some choices to make. She will have to decide if she wants to risk her immortality to be with the man that she loves and he must decide if he wants to stay with his pack or be with the woman that he loves.
This book was definitely different from most of the vampire books that I have read. It has it all, the drama between two species of creatures, different kinds of rules, great chemistry and romance, and a not so ordinary love triangle. Did I say a great romance that is just HOT?
I am truly excited to continue on and start reading the second book in the series Falling into You.
My Favorite Moment: I actually had a lot of favorites. One of mine is when they decide to get intimate.
“My fangs extended against my will. I couldn’t prevent them any longer. Nor could I stop myself from pulling Marc closer to me, to get the right angle. The animal inside me had taken over. I drove my sharp teeth into the space just above his erect nipple as I exploded around him.”

I received this book from the author and from Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock.
> Falling to Pieces is the first book in a serIes, but does not end in a cliff hanger. The reader is quickly introduced to a female vampire, Teagan, and her vampire father, Thomas. They are relocating from the US to London, for a vague reason. Teagan had a sad past that is alluded to a bit, but never truly revealed. On an outing for a "meal", she smells something she cannot resist and meets Marc. This is where the story fell apart. Marc had some very compelling familial situations to which he needed to abide, but instead, just throws his common sense away and BAM, love at first sight. There needed to be a longer journey to the eventuality of Teagan and Marc getting together. A younger vampire, Alex is introduced. Marc is even slightly jealous of him, but a love triangle is never formed. During a trial, for which Teagan must answer for her actions, she manages to talk her way out of any consequences. Marc, however, gives up on her fate and goes back to his obligations for awhile, but then decides to find himself. The characters were all interesting, but not used enough. There is a vampire who wants to mate with Teagan, but the threat is never carried out to a conflict. Why introduce it then? I am sure something will come of it in book 2, but it was so easy for Teagan to overcome in book 1, that I am sure she'll just handle everything the same way.
> This was a short read, that does not end with an HEA, but neither is it a cliff hanger. I really liked the descriptions of the fantasy world and how the species live in it. I wish the author had written a bit from Marc's point of view. He doesn't seem to be as enamored of Teagan as he says. He thinks she is dead, so he decorates his house? Not very realistic.

Falling to PiecesL.T. Kelly I love Vampire Book's and "Falling to Pieces" was the most Original, Believeable story i have ever read. The main character Teagan is brought to London by her maker Thomas,they were in Montana before that and Teagan loved it there. She does not know the city of London and is not happy to be there. He tells her to go out get something to eat and find her way around London. By eat i mean find a human and drink some blood.She does feed and this delicious smell drifts her way, what a beautiful aroma she thinks to herself. This Aroma turns out to be Marc who is Hot Gorgeous and He rides a Motorbike.(I had to put in the Motorbike because there is nothing Sexier than a hunk on a bike lol)Marc is also a Werewolf and it is against all rules for him and Teagan to be together. They have a few HOT STEAMY Make Out Sessions and i swear i was fanning myself. Enter Gabriella who is promised to Marc since birth, as she is the only one who can procreate with him. The jealously and tension was epic, and i loved it. Marc and teagan are seperated by Marc's family and both of them are Heartbroken or so it seems. There are a lot of emotions in this book, a few people i hated and loved. I just can't get over how that coward just decided to run away and find himself(Not giving any names lol) I would let him find himself all right with a good swift kick to his arse. lol Dont want to give any more away, and yes there is more. I would urge all Vampire Lovers out there to buy and read this book, because you don't want to miss the Best Vampire Story Ever Told. I give this book 5 Stars. I cannot wait to get my hands on book 2

The Good
•Great main character
•Detailed world and character building
•Excellent writing
The Bad
•Ends on a semi-cliffhanger
The Gif
From the very first page, I knew I was going to love Falling to Pieces. Paranormal romances are a comfort zone for me, and it felt really good to return to them with this amazing book. L.T. Kelly was a master at getting my attention and keeping it throughout the entire book. I was really in awe that this was her debut novel. It doesn't read that way. It reads like a seasoned writer wrote this.
Everything about this book was well thought out and detailed. But the characters really stood out to me. They aren't cookie cutter. It made me love them even more. The way that Teagan's attraction to Marc was described made me immediately think of a reverse Sookie and Eric situation. Whenever a book reminds me of the Southern Vampire Mysteries, it's always a good thing. I was on the edge of my seat and rooting for them from the very first moment that Teagan was captivated by Marc's unusual and savory scent.
Falling to Pieces is a masterpiece woven of so many elements that I adored. It is a vampire book, but it really stands out. Teagan is not a dependent, whiny girl. She's such a strong character. The book does end on a semi-cliffhanger, though. If you're a fan of the paranormal romances who's looking for a breath of new life from the genre, look no further than Falling to Pieces.

OMG VAMPATASTIC FALLING TO PIECES
First let me say this-- I rec'd ARC of this book from the L T Kelly in exchange for an honest review. And this is my honest opinion/review.
Have you ever thought about how we react when we fall in love or how we act around our family members??
In the story we have it all - and I do mean it all!!! We have Vamps & weres, and love, mystery, old world and even the current time. Along the way, Teagan ( who I really love an drinks my favorite type wine ) has to leave the states and travel to England as her maker/father Thomas never told why. Matter of fact there is alot of things it will turn out that he won't have told her. But you will need to find them out yourself, no, no , no {shaking finger} I am not telling .
I will let you in on this much the first night back she meets a hunk of a man by the name of Marc and follows him all the way back to a bar. His smell his so overpowering to her. When she gets home Thomas brakes him to her bathroom and almost attacks her for what she thinks is no reason..
Now my lovely's, this is where I am leaving the story for you. But for me-- this book was a fast read paranormal 18 an over . There a little hot sex in the book.
L T you have done 10 stars on everything that a book needs
************ characters outstanding/ making them come alive,you of them
plot of book
making the scenes realistic
This book to me have an over all 60 stars but the most we can rate a book is 10 . Please go her fan site , blog site, twitter . Contact her find out how you can purchase this book ASAP!!!! Trust me You Don'T Want TO Miss This Book.

My thoughts:
WOW, what a fantastic book, this is the first paranormal one that I have read for ages, I kinda moved away from that genre onto NA/Adult romance but I've got to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Falling to Pieces and would quite like to read a few more as always had a thing about vampires and werewolves.
Teagan is a very likable character, she's your take no crap vampire who previous to becoming a vampire had a hard life but I love her attitude ~ she sees something she wants and she goes for it even though she found out it was wrong and against the rules and who could blame her where Marc is concerned, he is a hottie and I don't think I’d say no either, lol, the sexual tension between them sizzles and there are some pretty hot scenes in this book.
I am very intrigued by Bartholomew ~ he’s kinda hot in a mysterious way and would love to find out more about him *hint, hint Lucy :)
This is L.T Kelly’s debut novel and boy she has done a fantastic job, she is a lovely person and I can’t wait to find out what’s next in store for Teagan and Marc, something tells me that the path to true love never runs smoothly and I don’t think it will be for them but they belong together and should make for another brilliant read and they deserve their happy ending.
So all that’s left to say is Congratulations to Lucy on an amazing novel that is ~ Falling to Pieces :)

a projection of a typical self-focused adolescent relationship. Each person classically wants to overshadow the wants of the other to some level. but never extremely. The relationship is largely based on convenience and shows some signs of strong emotional intimacy. Intimacy, which is typically not attainable until late adolescence, is characterized throughout the story by empathetic behaviors shown as trust, commitment, self sacrifice and effective communication . the events are somewhat egocentric, and these traits seem unavoidable due to the overall direction of the plot development. The heroine relationship is motivated by immediate gratification, recreation, and an addiction status attainment.
Agreeably, the quality of this piece of literary is well-written based on literary merit. The dialogue is realistic, and the plot and character development permit the reader to feel empathetic toward the characters. However, psychologically speaking, this book portraits teen intimacy development realistically in a way that conclude teens date primarily for recreation and status achievement.
or in other words.....
THE SEXUAL SCENES ARE GREAT :D

This book had all the makings of a fabulous story – vamps, weres, sex, and love – but it just didn’t connect with me. Don’t misunderstand, it was certainly enjoyable, and the sex … *fans self* … well that was just HOT. I just felt like I was constantly waiting for something to happen, and then it just ended.
Teagan, for being an older vampire, is kind of an idiot. But a relate-able idiot :-) Maybe she is more ignorant than an idiot, but I repeatedly wanted to smack her across her face. And the other characters make some dumb choices, but those bad choices kept me reading. I wanted to know how they were going to get out of it, and IF they were going to get out of it.
***SEMI SPOILER WARNING*** I don’t think this will ruin the story but I wanted the disclaimer there JUST IN CASE ….
Insta-love. Bleh. It’s there, and it doesn’t really need to be. And like I said earlier, the story just … ended. While leaving it open for another book, I prefer some closure. It felt like there was more to the story that I wanted to know.
While there were certainly some issues with the story, it was smexy good fun. A solid 3/3.5 stars here, and I’m curious to know what happens next. :-)

Teagan a stubborn and beautiful vampire is sad to leave her home in Montana for the city of London, but the pull of her possession to her maker is too strong to ignore. Once reaching London though, Teagan may not think it such a bad move after all, when she is instantly attracted to the scent, looks and charm of mysterious Marc who she soon falls for. But love is never easy and there is a very big struggle ahead for Teagan and Marc as a feud older then the both of them threatens not only their relationship but their lives.
The main thing I enjoyed about this book was that it wasn't like every other book that features vampires and werewolves. Instead of a young naive woman falling for the new guy who turns out to be a vampire, the main female character is strong and fights for what she wants, for who she wants. A great story with likeable characters and well detailed descriptions L.T Kelly has done an awesome job and I'm looking forward to reading more of her work. 4/5 <3 's.

I was given an ARC for my honest review.
I had no expectations going into this book as it is the authors debut novel. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I was sucked into the storyline and characters. I have not read paranormal romances for a while and genuinely enjoyed this one! The story revolves around the main character Teagan, who happens to be a vampire. After moving to London with her maker, she falls for another supernatural being named Marc. They of course go through turmoil as it is not normal for vampires and werewolves to be together, actually forbidden. The story has a few twists and doesn't end how I would have liked, but I have a feeling their story isn't over yet and eagerly await book #2. Thanks for a great read and congrats on a great debut novel.

3.5 stars
**Given a copy in exchange for an honest review**
Falling To Pieces is a good book. Good concept.
The book is written well and the flow is easy to understand.
The characters, I love them all. Teegan's personality is cool. She's easy to like. Marc on the other hand, he's hot.. haha!! I'm a sucker when it comes to vampires and wolves. The other characters are also great, they are easy to relate with and they have their own distinct personalities.
The story.. The story is good.. The start is great but the ending, it's ok but I'm not really wowed with it.. I can't wait to read more on what will happen next..

Excellent story! This holds your attention till you reach the end and then BAM, we wait. I thought this story unique, sure about vamps, but not really. This book is about finding love and all the odds that sometimes lovers face to be together. I didn't put it down until I was done, that says something to me, the story held my interest and kept me guessing and wanting more. Now we wait for the next installment, why is Teagan dreaming about you know who?? I would like that question answered, among others of course. Good job L.T. Kelly
August 22, 2013
I stumbled upon this author through one of the book blogs I follow on Facebook. I am so glad I purchased this book. I try to steer away from vampire books, but this one is more about Teegan and her life. I didn't want the book to end! I loved how smoothly the read of this book was, I fell in love and even loved to hate some of the characters. And how can I forget some of the perfect steamy sex scenes!!! A must read, cant wait to follow more of Teegan's story :)!

It's taken me longer to write my review than to read this book. But WOW! I'm not a writer so my review are just my heartfelt feelings. I loved this book! I started and finished this book in 4 hours. Now I want to read anything LT Kelly writes. 5 Stars for a great Book and great reading experience!

I had the privileged of reading this book while in its raw form (draft). It is quite heavy on the erotica aspect, but it's not erotica all-the-way, rather it has a very engaging story and a well planned plot that will keep vampire-fans interested cover-to-cover :)
November 25, 2013
Very interesting book with a "Romeo and Juliet" theme only with vampires and werewolves. Cannot wait to read Book 2.

I enjoyed the story but it had way too many typos.

Vampire/Werewolf Romeo &Juliet
This one fell a little short for me. It reminded me of Romeo and Juliet (not a big fan of), so I had a bit of a hard time with it.
