Publisher's Summary

I have a secret. 

A secret that chased me away from my home, my family, away from the only man I've ever loved. 

I took that secret and pushed it down inside of me.

So far down, that it never had a chance of coming out. 

That dirty little secret was like a seed. A seed that took root and grew to become a piece of me. 

But what happens when that secret has finally outgrown me? 

When its vines climb over every wall I have in place? 

When it finally overfills that little spot inside of me that it's been buried in for so long now? 

All secrets come out eventually. 

I just hope mine doesn't destroy everyone I love.

WOW WOW WOW!

One of my favorite things to do is to go into a book blind. I started this book, knowing I was a fan of the author and narrator. They both blew me away! This book hooked me so fast, I literally could not put it down. You could feel the heat yet Lex fought and fought to keep her distance. Love will not be stopped! The writing, the characters, the amazing narration... I could not have asked for more. I couldn't help but love these characters.

Sarah Puckett has outdone herself. This is maybe her best narration to date. I absolutely loved it!

Full of Emotion!

Wow this book is amazing! K.B Andrews really knows how to write a heart wrenching story! Losing a Piece of Me is the PERFECT title! I felt the pieces they lost! You feel every single emotion throughout this story and Sarah Puckett NAILED it!! She did a phenomenal job! Seriously, I can’t say enough about how great she was! The pain that Lex and Striker went through is gut wrenching and it really shows the once in a life time love they have for one another because throughout it all it never wavered. The sad part for me was how long it took for them to reconnect.. so much time lost. Both Lex and Striker are super strong characters and really came to life for me and the story is very realistic.
The distinction between the past and present was a little confusing to follow at first, but once I got the hang of it I was ok.
Fantastic listen overall! This one will stay with me <3

BUY THIS BOOK!!!

Seriously! Go buy it now! It is an amazing book! I went through so many emotions, laughing, pissed off, on the brink of tears, and then happy again. You know a book is well written when you can go from laughing on one page to wanting to yell and shake the characters on the next. I definitely recommend reading this with a friend, you will want someone to talk to.

Sarah went above and beyond with the narration. She always amazes me when I hear her narrated the male POV, it always sounds like a 2nd narrator is doing it with her! She does an amazing job bringing out all the feels.

Little angsty and a lot steamy

Audio-book: Narrator - Sarah Puckett

Wow! This narrator did an amazing job of bringing these characters to life. Putting them front and center without ever taking me out of the story due to her voice fluctuations. I felt she did an excellent job of both male and female leads as well as a distinction between secondary characters.


Years ago Lex and Striker were everything to one another. After promising each other forever, Lex leaves their small hometown and never returns leaving Striker devastated and broken. Now six years later she’s returned and Striker is determined to find out what the secret she’s holding is all about.

This was a pretty angsty book with some flashbacks to earlier years - some of these flashbacks were hard to follow on the audio. This couple were always meant to be together but there were so many obstacles in their way and even now so many years later, nothing has really changed.

I loved how dedicated Striker was to Lex, but was disappointed that he didn’t hunt her down sooner or follow her once he saw her again. I also felt that the reason this couple were kept apart 6 years ago was a little weak now at the age they were. Surely there was a way to work things out in a mature adult manner.

Despite those things, I did enjoy this book as well as the characters. It was hot and steamy, relatively quick, and had some great supporting characters. The epilogue was extremely satisfying as well and I was happy I had the chance to listen to it.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Everyone has a story & this is Striker’s & Lex’s

Wow, such a great story! “Losing a Piece of Me” is an emotional rollercoaster ride, a story of everlasting love is not always an easy journey. This is my first book by K.B Andrews- it will not my last. Her story writing draws you in right from the start and holds your attention throughout. Great character development, from the main to the secondary. I thoroughly enjoyed this book & highly recommend it.

I listened to the Audiobook, narrated by the wonderfully talented Sarah Puckett who knows how to bring a story to life from the pages to your ears. She tells the story in a way that it flows seamlessly, her switches from character to character are effortless. She does a great job of both the female and male voices. Thank you for the great listen

Emotional story

This book was quite emotional. A lot of lies and many half truths. Blood relatives who judge and mistreat instead of giving support. Two young lovers almost ruined beyond redemption. Lifelong scars. The beauty of pure love and forgiveness. Taking a second chance at happiness.

Sarah Puckett did a good job with this narration. I liked her voice and her pacing.
I'd have liked this book even better with dual narration. My only problem was rather technical. Sometimes the timelines were hard to distinguish. Flashbacks and dreams are pretty easy to tell apart while reading but it's harder and a bit confusing in audio.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful! Great Performance!

4.5 Brilliant Stars!!

Lex and Striker's their journey has been a wild roller coaster ride of emotions. Their hearts, trust and dreams have been shattered by heartbreak, but what bothers me, is how long it took for them to finally be together.

Sarah Puckett knows how to bring a story to life. Her amazing performance compel me to listen the entire audiobook non-stop. Her talented narrating skills have the ability to make me feel as if I was part of the story!

All in all, Losing a Piece of Me has been and enjoyable, intriguing and entertaining story, which I highly recommend!!

great book!

this was a great book! The characters kept me wanting more. the narrator did a great job!

She sacrificed it all...

A secret separates a girl from not only her family but her soul mate, but that secret is... there's more to what's she hiding. She just doesn't have the courage to dismantle the lives of those she loves. It's a courageous sacrifice for a teenage girl to selflessly turn to exiling herself from the life she's always known and standing on her own two feet to protect her family, but that's just what Lex does. She's strong enough to protect everyone until she returns home for her sister's wedding events and comes face to face with Stryker, the boy she left behind. But what she's keeping from him could not only shatter him, but her family, and her hometown. 

But Stryker's resolve to prove his love for Lex is more powerful than she could have imagined, and he doesn't care who tries to stand in his way. 

Sarah Puckett narrates Losing a Piece of Me flawlessly, narrating dual POV-male and female. I could literally feel the raw emotion of Lex's plight in Ms. Puckett's voice as if the story she told was her own. KB Andrews maintains a deep suspense throughout the story, only unearthing the harrowing secrets at the climax when it all comes crashing down, tugging and ripping at your heartstrings with every word spoken. 

Enjoyable Read!

K.B. Andrews main point in this book is two people who have been in love most their lives but are torn apart by a secret. Lex has been keeping a secret for 6 years and this secret has been eating her alive. This secret chased her away from home, her family, away from the only man she has ever loved.

A seed that took root and grew to become a piece of her. When it finally overflows that little spot inside of Lex that it's been buried in for so long now. All secrets come out eventually.

I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the plot it made me think one thing but it turned out to be something else. I love when books have you thinking it’s going one way and then it turns out to be something you never saw coming. This book was well written and the characters were well built. I was totally invested in the characters. This book had me going through all the emotions with the characters.

I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a book with a few surprises.

I enjoyed the audible. The narrator, Sarah Puckett, was very animated and helped to bring the characters to life.

A really good second chance love story.

This was really good, I love Striker and Lex, the chemestry between them is so good, and their emotions toward each other are so intense that even 6 years apart couldn't erase everything they feel towards each other.

It has a good pace and you won't be able to stop listening, with some funny moments courtesy of young Lex and Striker. But it also has some frustrating ones specially with their parents. The secrets, the emotions, the regrets and the love made this a good book.

The narrattion by Sarah Pukett was so so good, she's really amazing at brining a story to life and this wasn't the exception.

🎧 AUDIOBOOK OBSESSION 🎧

Enjoyed the narration

Second chance romance full of emotional ups and downs. It took me a minute to warm up to this story and then I thought that it was just ok. So much angst and suspense was built up around this secret that made Lex leave home and when it was revealed I didn't think it was worth all the trouble that it caused.
I do think that the narrator did a good job of bringing the characters to life. She did good voices and emotions which kept the story flowing.

Loved it

Loved this book didn’t know how it was going to end its a small-town love happy ever after lovely absolutely lovely book

Sweet easy listen

I haven’t listened or read any KB Andrews before, and had no idea what the story was about. The story kept me guessing (my first guess was so wrong 😂)
Sarah Pucketts voice kept me listening (I am picky with voices and returned a few books because of them and not chosen others for the same reason) but listening to the book kept me company on 2 days of long car journeys.
The story had twists and turns so kept me intrigued, the characters were brought to life nicely by Sarah.
Altogether a nice easy listen 😊

Sizzling Chemistry

I really liked this story, and I liked the narrator's voice throughout.
The chemistry between the characters was intense all the way through, making for a great read/listen.

teen love - to adult love.

It’s a heart wrenching and intense story about two people who get separated for all the wrong reasons. I think it has all the elements for a powerful love story.
I definitely recommend that a true romance lover should read this !!

Wow!!!

Losing a Piece of Me by KB Andrews has so many layers to it. The story is beautifully written, yet has heartache, redemption, love, family drama, and one incredible twist I never saw coming! I so enjoyed how the author tied the relationships and characters together. Sarah Puckett performed this book brilliantly! One could feel the shield of detachment that Lex tried to use on her family and friends. I really enjoyed how she was able to give the various characters distinguishable voices too. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator!

Sad and sweet

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This is a very emotional second chance novel with a very sweet ending.

I really liked the narration by Sarah Puckett. She has great voices and accents and her way of narration brought out how hurt Lex and Striker are. Her intonations were always on point and I was captivated even though the story wasn't my favourite.

The story simply wasn't what I had expected. For me it was lacking real drama and angst. The story flows nicely and a part of me of course loves the way everything gets resolved. However, I would have wished that the stakes had been higher, that the secret had been more serious and that the reason Lex left her home for a long time had been more profound.

Sweet love.

This sweet story of love thwarted and the quest to restore it, is beautifully performed by Sara Puckett. She brings warmth and heart to this story which stars two of the sweetest protagonists I have come across in a while. Lex and Striker are sympathetic and living individuals who are meant to be together and Sarah brings their journey lovingly to life.

Sweet story

I really enjoyed this story, a lie and threat made a young couple lose 6 years together. Very sweet story. With a few naughty bits. Great characters. I would of preferred a man reading the male parts but Sarah does a great job.
