It’s not every day you’re invited to your wife’s wedding . .
. as a guest.
The first time I saw Brinley Knox, she was crying, draped in
a ridiculous pink tulle dress for her sweet sixteen, and cursing the boy who’d
broken her heart.
I was the hired help, a teenage charity case.
She was the daughter of the wealthiest family in Orchid
Valley.
I knew a girl like Brinley was off-limits. That didn’t stop
me from kissing her. Or from promising that if she were ever mine, I’d never
let her go.
The last time I saw Brinley, she was sleeping,
tangled in the sheets of my Vegas penthouse, my diamond glittering on her
finger.
I returned three hours later to an empty bed, the ring on
the dresser, and a goodbye note.
We haven’t spoken in the six months since, but I’m not the
kind of guy who’d file for a divorce he doesn’t want.
Until I got this damn invitation, it never occurred to me
that Brinley didn’t remember our impulsive Vegas nuptials.
It’s time to return to Orchid Valley and remind the
bride-to-be that I’m a man who keeps his promises.
Every Little Piece of Me is a sexy, standalone
second-chance romance in Lexi Ryan’s all-new Orchid Valley series.
Louise's Review
Every Little Piece of Me is the first book in the Orchid Valley Series, At the beginning of the book there was a prequal ‘Every Little Promise’ that set you up for the actual book.
Marston and Brinley found each other after a decade apart, he is a different man to the one that left. 6 months later Marston receives an invitation, he heads back to her hometown to find out what is happening because he has a little surprise to share with her. When Marston gets a surprise of his own he is even more determined to be part of Brinley’s life.
I personally really enjoyed this story; Ryan continues to produce stories that get you hook line and sinker. With great minor characters that have me even more excited for book 2 I am hanging out for Stella’s story in Every Sweet Regret.

Excerpt:
Every Little Piece of Me, excerpt © 2020 by Lexi Ryan
I run the water cold and brace myself on the sink.
Everything is okay. This is just one moment. Inhale and
exhale, and move your way through it.
Once my breathing evens out, I splash cold water on my face
and blot it dry with a paper towel. I’m definitely overreacting. There are a
thousand reasons he could be in town and want to talk to me alone. Thousands of
reasons that don’t begin with the words “You’re the love of my life. Please
don’t marry anyone else.”
Because I’m almost positive I don’t want to hear those
words. Mostly.
When I step out of the bathroom, Marston is waiting there,
leaning against the wall across from the ladies’ room, arms folded, jaw
twitching with aggravation. The picture of tall, dark, and pissed off.
When Marston sets his mind to something, he gets it, and
tonight, apparently that something is talking to me alone.
“Sorry.” I smooth down my pencil skirt. “That vodka didn’t
sit right.” I turn toward the main room.
He catches me around the waist and spins me so fast that I’m
trapped between the wall and him before I can blink. “Give me one minute.” He
braces his hands above my head and leans forward.
I swallow hard. Not because I’m scared. Marston’s never
scared me. But looking up at him when he’s this close is stirring up all kinds
of memories. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to look at him without part of
me wishing for the future I longed for at sixteen. I place a firm hand on his
chest. “I don’t think this is a good idea.”
“Was Vegas a joke to you?”
Of all the questions I expected him to ask, that wasn’t
anywhere on the list. “What? Of course not. Vegas was . . .” Hot. Impulsive.
Crazy. Amazing. Wild . . . everything.
He dips his head until his lips hover right above mine. “Don’t
you dare call it a mistake,” he growls, his warm breath tickling my skin.
I ache to close the distance between our mouths, ache to
feel his kiss again. I’d never call Vegas a mistake. Maybe I should, but I
can’t.
“Fuck, you smell so good. I couldn’t get the smell of you
out of my mind for weeks after you left me that damn note. Do you know how
crazy that made me?”
My hand is still against his chest. If I pushed, he’d back
off. He’d give me the space to clear my head. But when he shifts his mouth from
above mine to my ear, I don’t want to push him away. I want to pull him back.
“Marston—”
“Is this why you sent me that invitation? Did you want me to
come here and remind you what it’s like between us? How it feels when we’re
close?” In a breath, he has me pinned against the wall again, and his mouth
crushes against mine.
Fireworks explode in my stomach. All at once, the floor is
falling out from under me and I’m floating.
The kiss doesn’t last long—I don’t let it. I tear my mouth
away before it can swallow me whole.
I shove him back, my lips tingling. “You can’t do that.” The
kiss was everything I remembered, everything that’s missing when I kiss Julian.
Everything I’ve been trying to convince myself I don’t need.
