***The Starry-Eyed Revue***: michelle davidson argyle

I am sooo excited today to bring you the cover for Michelle Davidson Argyle's newest book Pieces, thanks to Xpresso Book Tours. Pieces is a companion to The Breakaway and can be read independently, if desired. I've not read the first book, but I can tell you that after reading the premise for both books, I still think I'd like to read them in order...and will be doing so as soon as possible. =)

Here's a little about the first book:

Title: The Breakaway

Author: Michelle Davidson Argyle

Series: The Breakaway, book 1

Publisher: Rhemalda Publishing

Publication Date: May 1, 2012
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

When Naomi Jensen is kidnapped, it takes her parents two days to realize she's missing. Escape isn't high on her list of priorities when all she has to return to is an abusive boyfriend and parents who never paid much attention to her. For the first time in her life she's part of a family-even if it is a family of criminals. But she's still a captive. In a desperate attempt to regain some control in her life, Naomi embarks on a dangerous plan to make one of her kidnappers think she's falling in love with him. The plan works too well, and when faced with the chance to escape, Naomi isn't sure she wants to take it.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, the cover of Pieces, the companion novel to The Breakaway:

And here's the synopsis for Pieces:

Two years after watching her kidnappers go to prison, Naomi Jensen is still in love with one of them. Jesse will be released in a few years, and Naomi knows college is the perfect distraction while she waits. But when her new friend Finn makes her question what is right and what is wrong, she begins to wonder if Jesse is the one for her … until she discovers he's out on parole. Naomi must sort through her confusion to figure out where love and freedom truly lie—in Finn, who has no connections to her past, or Jesse, who has just asked her to run away with him.

Both of these books sound spectacular! Another tough subject to tackle, but apparently, those are the kinds of books I'm really starting to enjoy! Maybe it's just the fab writing... :0) And in case you're interested, here's the book trailer for Pieces:

Author Bio:

Michelle lives and writes in Utah, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. She loves the seasons, but late summer and early fall are her favorites. She adores chocolate, sushi, and lots of ethnic food, and loves to read and write books in whatever time she can grab between her sword-wielding husband and energetic daughter. She believes a simple life is the best life.

I love that both covers are unique and have an air of sadness and danger to them. I can't wait to hear what you think of the Pieces cover!
