Pieces We Keep

Star-crossed lovers, Eagle and Irina struggle to make their passion permanent.

Rhett “Eagle” Finch was never allowed to forget he was a mistake. His childhood would have been unbearable without his rowdy friends.

So far, Eagle and Irina have only shared fleeting passion. Can they push past their different worlds, old traumas, and a cruel bully to build something real?

I do love how weird these characters are, but like Bijou is in on the joke, right? She’s not thinking these are normal, real-seeming humans, right? I think so, but idk. Anyway, the plot here was a little loopy, I thought Todd would pose more of a roadblock to the relationship especially with how much sneaking around Irina did to see Eagle, but then it was just a complete non issue so I don’t get why the sneaking around ever happened? Irina’s backstory was super tragic just like every other H in this series. Her instant mega attraction to Eagle didn’t really captivate me as much as usual especially since they immediately started hooking up for months but there was no smut we just knew they were meeting up once a week so I was like 🧐🤷🏼‍♀️ okay… And then there’s Fiona, Irina’s daughter/not daughter. Their relationship was so confusing to me at times and Fiona is so messed up but by the end less so. I was hoping Hobo was stalking her though I had no idea how that relationship would work out, but sadly she doesn’t get paired up with a biker 😪 I am interested to read Hobo’s story next though!

I think this one made me the saddest of all the girls back stories so far.

Bijou & Noelle are a phenomenal writing team!!

I think this is my favorite of the series so far! Eagle was perfection!! I was heartbroken for backstories, adore Fiona!

I am so invested in this MC!!

Ive been in a funk lately about reading and about a lot of stuff if Im honest. With so much going on I just feel like I have barely read and if Im being honest I was ok with that. But I always love Bijou Hunter books so I was excited to start this book. Little did I know once I started reading I wouldn't want to put it down and I'm actually excited to read again!

I have truly loved this series and after each book I'm not sure which is my favorite and the rankings are always changing, I can easily say that has happened again. I don't know which book it the series is my favorite but I can say its between this book and one other. I loved Eagle and Irina, but Bijou yet again adds charters that aren't main charters that I fall in love with and adds so much to this book. I loved Fiona in this book and her relationship with Irina but then also her relationship with Eagle and the entire MC made this book special.

Irina has cared for Fiona for years after a heartbreak that could never heal Irina has found friendship and purpose in Fiona but when they are forced to move both Fiona and Irina's lives are turned upside down. On a chance outing Irina spots the most beautiful man she has ever seen and can't get him out of her head. So much so she does something she has never in the past and finds his MC and goes to a party.

Once Eagle spots Irina she's all he thinks of and she consumes his every thought. Eagle wants her with him all the time but she seems to keep disappearing and he can't figure out why till he learns the truth of Irina, Fiona and Fiona's father. But Eagle is all in and will to do whatever it takes to keep Irina by his side. His MC has had many issues in the past and everyone knows it won't be long till problems come knocking on their door again and they are right but Eagle has no problem getting rid of anything that stands in his way of he and Irina's happy ending.

Irina wants Eagle more than she has wanted any other man but she isn't a free woman her past and her present have her tied down and she's not sure Eagle will want all she brings into their relationship but Eagle won't say no and loves Irina enough to take all she has and love her no matter what. And Eagle also has no problem opening his heart to love the thins Irinia brings it not their relationship.

I just loved this book. I could just gush about this book! Eagle, yep he was an amazing hero I mean amazing. His life sucked and yet he came out a wonderful person. Irina, my heart broke for her and all she had been through but she is a strong loving kind woman who doesn't give herself enough credit. Fiona, she is one of those characters who probably isn't supposed to be this remarkable character but I loved every single minute of her in this book and really considered her a third character. And then the MC who I have always loved truly shines even brighter in this book.

There was literally nothing I didn't love. I didn't want this book to end and yet again this book has made me excited to see what happens next int his series. Bijou Hunter does a wonderful job crating characters that feel so real and it felt like I was living a life right along with all these characters and this world she has so loving created. I was rooting for them and wishing them well as I read because i was just as invested in their story like it was my own. I can't recommend this book enough. Ive read every book from this author and its so cool to see how she just keep getting better and better. You'd think a person would run out of stories but Bijou just seems to come up with more and more that seem to better with time.

*Thank you Bijou Hunter for the beta book

This was Eagles story and to be honest I didn't remember much about him. But it's because he was quite and always  apparently always had a scowl on his face. And kept to himself which is what he did most of his life. He always felt like an outsider. Like he never belonged or was wanted. Irina was running from grief when she started taking care of Fiona and they got uprooted to live with Fiona's father. And Irina saw Eagle and wanted him immediately.  He thought it was a joke that someone was playing a joke on him. But they ended up falling for each other. And helping each other through some leftover grief and past traumas. And some other issues that arise. But I love their story. Because it was so raw and so real and so heartbreaking but they both survived and found one another and made the families they needed and that's beautiful and healing and I love stories like this it gives people hope. I just wanted some more closure for Irina than what she got. But that's a me thing wanting to confront people. This was a fantastic read and I highly highly recommend it and this series!!

Bijou Hunter & Noelle Zane are truly a fantastic dynamic duo, and I'll never ever get enough of the stories they create together. Pieces We Keep follows Eagle, who had a terrible childhood that left its mark on him, but these days, he's created a family with his friends after they founded the Steel Berserkers MC but he's not found that woman to be his person until Irina. She has her own set of demons from losing everything in the past, but she found her niche after saving another woman. These days there's a threat to her safety when she catches the eye of two men, one who's an awful bully, and the other who can protect her (Eagle). She & Eagle are perfect for each other, and the sparks definitely fly between them but that whole danger to her safety definitely makes things dicey providing twists to keep us all on our toes. So we have gritty romance and suspense but there's an emotional component as well that did things to my heart along the way which made this story perfect in my eyes! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Eagle & Irina

The reader will find that the characters have lived sad, dark childhoods. Is it possible they can help each other live a fulfilled life as adults?

Eagle is quiet and the club is his family, still, he doesn't mix well with the others. Oh, he is part of the club and does his share to protect the town, members, and their families. Then he sees Irina. While he thinks she is too good for him, she shows a real interest. Is he willing to try to make a move?

Irina has a commitment that keeps her secluded until the day she sees Eagle. He is gorgeous and they each feel the chemistry. Are they willing to try to change their lives? Can they overcome each of their feelings that they aren't good enough for the other?

This will rip emotions from you. Will evil keep them apart? Will they live through the plans of the evil ones? The series is amazing as is this one for your reading pleasure. I recommend both.

(4 Stars)

Eagle and Irina have had a bit of a thing going ... well it's more of a, whenever Irina shows up at the Pigsty and the two hook up type of thing, but it still counts as a thing. It doesn't happen often as Irina can't leave Fiona alone for long, but when they do get to connect magic happens. Both want more from their situation, but with everything going on with Fiona's family and all drama there, they have to be patient until they can figure out a way. But time doesn't stand still, and their situation becomes more obvious as time passes. Will the two be able to find a way or are the outside forces going to keep them apart?

This is the fourth story, so I do suggest reading the previous three as they flow from one story to the next. I really enjoyed this story, giving us a few funny moments, danger, drama, violence, naughty bits that were super steamy. I give this 4 stars.

Another Fantastic Addition To The Steel Berserkers MC Series!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Review

Another fantastic read by Bijou and Noelle. This was an absolutely fantastic addition to the Steel Berserkers MC series. This series and each addition book just keeps getting better and better.

This is Rhett aka Eagle and Irina’s story and it’s not an easy one. Both have pasts full of trauma and loss. Irina’s been forced to move and besides meeting Eagle she’s also attracted the attention of a bully. Eagle and Irina share a passion and chemistry that’s intense and emotional. They work to overcome so much and the changes and growth they make throughout their story is absolutely phenomenal. Their love story is definitely one you have got to read!!!

Highly recommend this book and the entire series. So looking forward to the next book!!

[Cindy Hughes · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love book and the whole series! Eagle and Irina’s story was fantastic! Irina is so caring and it shows in how she cares for Fiona. They help each heal. Eagle is quite and the club is his family. When he sees Irina he wants her although he thinks he’s not good enough for her. When she shows interest in him will he take a chance on her? I loved this book! It’s filled with wonderful characters and an amazing storyline! Bijou and Noelle have done another fantastic job with this story! Together they have written an awesome series! I can’t wait to read the next Steel Berserkers MC book!

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the fourth book in this amazing series, and this is Eagle and Irina’s story. Eagle is quiet and classes his club brothers as his family, and Irina is instantly drawn to Eagle when she meets him at a club party, however, he does not think he is good enough for her. These two both have heartbreaking pasts, but they complement each other perfectly. This is a well written action-packed story, which is an emotional roller coaster, with trauma, heartbreak, tragedy, undeniable chemistry, violence, and love, which leads to an entertaining and steamy page turner.
I look forward to reading more from these talented authors whose work I highly recommend.

Wow, I loved this novel! I could not put it down. From the very first chapter this novel grabbed hold of me and would not let go until the very last page. Even then I did not want this novel to end. I love this series and this novel did not disappoint. I loved Eagle and Irina love story. This novel broke my heart with how much each character had been thru in their lives. I loved how they were able to overcome everything they had been thru to be together. I love when a novel can make you laugh, almost bring you to tears and finally leaves me with a happy heart. This novel checked all of my boxes. I loved it. I can't wait to see what is coming next.

a very good read

I enjoyed this story involving Eagle and Irish. Eagle is a biker, Irina is. Companion-caretaker to an injured young woman named Fiona. Irina seen Eagle from afar and then stalker him to become better acquainted. They seem to perfectly fit. Of course, there are issues. She has lost two children along with her young husband. He was abused by his stepfather. Together they find a way to make it work. This has a lot more depth to it and kept me totally enthralled. Enjoyed the other characters from books in this series too. Highly recommend this book and the series. HEA, no cheating, no cliffhanger. Epilogues are superb.

These stories get better and better.. These 2 authors are an awesome writing team. I'll never ever get enough of the stories they create together. Pieces We Keep follows Eagle, who had a terrible childhood that left its mark on him, but these days, he's created a family with his friends after they founded the Steel Berserkers MC but he's not found that woman to be his person until Irina. She has her own set of demons from losing everything in the past, but she found her niche after saving another woman.

When Todd Rogers brings his disabled daughter back to live in the guest house on his estate Irina comes too, she's looked after Fiona for years, both having trauma in their lives that kept them secluded. When Irina sees Eagle she's attracted to him straight away and makes it her goal to get to know him even though it brings her out of her comfort zone.

There's more to their budding relationship but that would be telling, I found it emotional and enjoyed it from the start.

[Doris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic!!

These two authors killed it with this MC book that was a one sit read for me. They knew how to draw out so many emotions but heartbreak was a big one reading of Eagle and Irina’s past. Eagle thinks that he isn’t good enough for Irina but when she goes to a Steel Berserkers MC party and shows an interest in him thing are about to change. These two have a lot to overcome to get to their HEA.

This was a great MC romance that I highly recommend.

[Chrystal_K · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book really hit my heart. Eagle and Irina were both so sad and tragic. I wasn’t sure the authors could pull this one out. But the more I read, the more invested I became in the relationship between Eagle and Irina. They find love, friendship and family with each other. I loved that both found the one person they could be complete with. And one awesome bonus to this book - Fiona’s part in the epilogue. Loved it!

[M · Rating 5 out of 5]

I always love the epilogues and not to jump ahead but this one is one of the best. Eagle and Irina are different and yet not, they both need acceptance and confidence and unconditional love. They find that with each other. While Eagle had the Steel Berserkers and Irina had Fiona (love her ending) it wasn’t the same. Together they really grew, matured and gained confidence in themselves, the world and each other. I cannot wait for the next one in this series.

[Becky Jean · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pieces We Keep by Bijou Hunter and Noelle Zane is book 4 in the Steel Berserkers MC series. Each book in the series gets better and better. Eagle's childhood was tough. It bleeds into his adult life. Irina's history was emotionally devastating. They need each other to heal and move on. We also have the fragile Fiona that needs Irina to survive. Such a great storyline. Kudos!

Pieces we keep ( Steel Berserkers MC book 4)

This was a heartbreaking and tragic story,about two individuals that find love and happiness. Eagle and Irin struggle to find trust in their relationship. I enjoyed reading about the other MC characters that made the storyline interesting and exciting.

[Gale Albright · Rating 5 out of 5]

If I could rate this book with ten stars I definitely would. It’s a story of love, loss and redemption. It’s a story of surviving grief and learning to live through it. My heart was devastated with both of their backstories, but this author was able to put me back together with a phenomenal happy ever after. Just wow!

Amazing!

Another great book in the series! By now I’m usually ready to put a series to the side and read something else but in these books each character is so deep and interesting it’s easy to get wrapped up in their own stories. Onto book #5!

[BleuBelle · Rating 2 out of 5]

Same formula as the previous books, without much chemistry between the two main characters. Skipping over important events, too much telling instead of showing.
Won't be reading the rest of this series.
