She needed a husband...
He needed the money.

Preston
When an opportunity comes knocking, you shouldn't question it.
Unless it comes in the form of a 5'2", feisty, loudmouth girl who just so happens to hate your guts.
The same girl you haven't been able to get out of your head for three years.
But, I'm a gambler by nature. A risk taker.
So when Kit Bishop makes me an offer I'm in no position to refuse...I take it.
I just have to make sure I don't end up giving her more than what we both bargained for.
Like the messed-up thing beating in my chest.

Kit
There's no one on earth I hate more than Preston Holden.
As if our past didn't give me enough of a reason—he's also a cocky, arrogant jerk with a gambling problem.
Unfortunately for me, he just so happens to be the only guy I can ask to help me with my issue.
It's simple. He needs the money. I need a husband.
It's strictly business. A one-year stint between enemies. No strings. No feelings—other than our mutual dislike for one another. But the thing about hate? It can flip on a dime.
It can have you questioning things about yourself you never thought you would.
And if I'm not careful—things are going to get even more complicated between us.
You know the saying—'til death do us part?
Well, in our case? It includes all the complicated parts.

Complicated is exactly what this series is, but it reads so well. Kit is this kind, overly generous person who wears her heart of her sleeve and Preston puts up a front of stone and ice, but it seems the only person who capable of chipping his exterior away is kit. They’re mismatched in so many ways but in their world they have a connection like no other. A gripping series I can’t wait for the next book.

Book 2 picks up where book 1 finishes so I would suggest not reading this until you've read book 1.

Preston & Kit have a connection, bond that they cannot understand and they will do anything for each other. They've both faced hardships in their lives and are both broken hey when they're together they feel a sense of clam that cannot be explained. Preston is still a massive gambler whilst Kit is trying to please her Nanna so she gets her inheritance, Kit can't explain her feeling towards Preston as she keeps saying she is gay yet Preston doesn't want to push her over the edge with her complicated feelings.

I love these 2 characters and book 3 cannot come soon enough (July 2021) and I for one am glad Ashley turned this duet into a trilogy and a duet would not have done justice to this couple. This is as unconventional story but stick with it as it's totally worth it.

Because when you’re standing outside Lady Luck’s church and she lures you in with the promise of sucking your **** like a champ and letting you **** her like a dirty little w****… it makes an atheist like me a believer again. - Preston

Ashley Jade has never failed to pull me directly into the lives of her characters and become totally absorbed in their lives. Preston and Kit are no different. This book is everything promoted and more. Something that can make an atheist a believer again.

Where is begin.....
Firstly I read this book in one sitting. Kit and Preston held me hostage at all times. These two broken and emotionally scared people gave us an open handed look into their slow burn friendship/unconventional romance. Their pasts are messy and have left them both so jaded that they can't seem to catch a break. They just seem to find their peace while clinging onto each other and wading through uncharted feelings. With every obstacle that was thrown at them wether it be from family, friends and even the enemy they stayed true to themselves. They kept on reminding us just who they truly were. Kit is still a lesbian, she reminds us constantly. It's just who she is and Preston is a thief and a liar. At times I wanted to kick his butt and hug him at the same time. He's still the same ******* from book 1 but I love him anyway.

Even though our feelings for one another can flip on a dime, our connection never will. It's secure, solid, stable. An inherent bond that's unbreakable.

Ms Jade has given us another fantastic within this series. Her words are like liquid gold, you just want to wade threw them, let them roll around in your mind and try and unravel just where the next book is going to take you. So I'm waiting patiently for what she has in store for Preston and Kit in book 3. So do your best Ms Jade just remember to know when to hold, raise and go all in because I'm ready for whatever path Kit and Preston take. I'm not scared of the outcome.

In this book we dive straight in to where we left off in book 1 and as you can probably guess it is still complicated ;)

This story has a little bit of everything, it was interesting, humerus, frustrating, emotional and left me begging for more. I can just not get enough of Kit and Preston. These characters may be different put boy oh boy do they suck you in and make you feel emotionally invested in their story. They are who they are and you can not help but love them for it.

There is something a little special about this book, for me it was as if you could feel the passion the author has for this story and these characters. I have always been a lover of AJ books but this one felt a little bit extra and I am more then excited to see what comes next.

If you havent read Book 1 then you should run and read it now so you can start this book, you will not be disappointed, this series is amazing and this book is one of my favourites this year.

What the heck!!!!! This book just blew my mind. Preston and Kit have such an epic connection. Even though there are a million reason they are not good for each other and shouldn't be together, they keep getting drawn back to each other. I absolutely laughed my head off at time in this story and shed some tears in others. I wasn't expecting to love this story but I am so completely invested and after that crazy ending I desperately need to read the last book.

I am absolutely in love with our hero. He is an enormous jerk / PIA / arrogant as every sort of a hero but he is madly in love and in obsession with our heroine. Though our heroine still confused about her sexuality and does or make stupid decisions - but she is clearly as obsessed as our hero. I am absolutely in love with their banter.

Oh my gosh. Where do you I begin? Hmm, let me start with my love for Ashley Jade’s books. Her books always give me life. Her books just pull me deep into an addictive web. With an Ashley Jade, I know I am getting a unique book. I know I am getting a book that will push me. I know I am getting a book that stretches my morals and values. Complicated Parts 2 exceeded all my expectations. Here is a book that messed me up. Here is a book that made me emotional. Here is a book that squeezed every single part of me till I was nothing. Ashley Jade, your book ruined. Your book stole my heart. Your book made me lose all my senses. Hahaha. Well, you know me, I always lose my mind on books that affect me. And Complicated Parts 2 affected me. Complicated Parts 2 imbedded in my soul. Complicated Parts 2 slayed me. Complicated Parts 2 ruled me. Complicated Parts 2 truly and utterly devastated me.

Ashley Jade, you are one evil woman. How can you break my heart like that? How can you tear split my soul? Complicated Parts 2 really messed me up. The rich story. The beautifully emotional characters. Alluring. Heart Rushing. Soul Crushing. Heart Wrenching. Soul Wrecking. Complicated Parts 2 told a punishing slow burn and emotional story of heartbreak, hurt, lies, traumas and battles. Complicated Parts 2 will make you smile. It will make you swoon. It will make cry and hug your pillow. It will make you laugh. It will make shiver with anticipation. Everything about Complicated Parts 2 just takes you such an unforgettable ride. Complicated Parts 2 will rip you apart. It will get messy. It will make your heart bleed. The ferocious plot will crush till you are dust. Complicated Parts 2 was unconventional. Different from books I have ever read because Ashley Jade stays truly to her signature style. And her signature style is to give me unfiltered and controversial reads I crave. Her writing has no boundaries. Ashley Jade just leaves you in a place you never want to leave because her words capture you. You become hypnotized. Complicated Parts 2 left a hole in me.

Preston and Kit are one intense couple. You could feel the angst. It is so thick that it penetrated my heart. Preston and Kit are one dynamic couple. They will make you anxious. They will make your frustrated. They make you fall in love. Their chemistry lights me up. It can be hurtful and messy but it is real. I know, it is fiction but, you feel connected to them. You hurt when they hurt. You cry when they cry. You delight when they are happy. I did not like them at first but CP 2 opened my eyes. I felt their pain. I felt their emotions. I felt their hurt. And it touched me. It left me hollow. It broke me. Ashley Jade knows how to write broken characters well. Preston and Kit are the epitome of broken characters.

My goodness, I need CP 3. I NEED IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!Get to writing, Ashley Jade. My theories are drowning me. I highly recommend this book because it is just epic.

Reviewed in Canada on 1 August 2018

The biggest challenge when we read Ashley Jade is not to immerse ourselves in the story she gives us, but to emerge from it, as equally while reading as when we turn the last page. Not only this is particularly true with Complicated Parts, she also exceeds all expectations on every levels, no exception. I was looking forward to the second part of this extraordinary Series, but I never thought I would almost become a slave to every word in this book, hungry for more at every page I’d flip. And that more I’d read, more intensified the addiction would become rather than calm down. As it’s always the case with Ashley Jade, but this time, there was indeed something different.

Because there is no artifice in Complicated Parts. No special effects. It's a story based on two characters with complicated parts that decides to start an even more complicated journey. Yet, it’s one of the stories that’s obsessed me the most, got under my skin like not too many succeeded to do. And not this way.

From the very first two pages, you are drawn in at the speed of a typhoon ravaging everything in its path. Heck, a real F5 Tornado and that, before you even get the chance to take your next breath between the array of emotions you feel. And THIS torpidity linger from page one untill the last. In fact, as physically impossible as it may be according to the laws of physics, the storm only escalates as you move ahead in the story. Everything becomes more intense. Our connection with the characters; Preston and Kit’ connection; the emotions they make us go through... Because you don’t fall for them, you literally *crash* in love with them. Their story becomes our story. Their torments, ours. Their confusion and uncertainty, their emotions and flaws, their strengths and heartbreaks... Everything about this book capture us into its web. Once you open it up, everything ceases to exist around us, only to focus on everything #KITON; there’s only Ashley's incredibly beautiful words.

Kit and Preston’ story is uncommon but add to that Ashley Jade’s extraordinary pen, so unique and mesmerizing, passionate and enticing... The experience rapidly becomes purely mind blowing. She redefined through Preston and Kit the notion of carnal chemistry. Because for two characters whose parts do not fit together, their chemistry is so freaking intense, it transcends the law of physical attraction. THAT’S definitely the beauty of Complicated Parts. Preston and Kit’s connection is special. If there’s something called ‘love at first sight’, I would describe what Kit and Preston has as ‘soul mates at first sight’; This soul connection is what makes them reach out to one another. Even when obscured with anger, resentment and deceit, they can’t help but feel it, reaching them as far as into the depth of the night. It’s this connection that draws them to one another, drives their desire to know more of the each other, how they offer themselves over, no second thoughts... And that, even when everything else about them doesn’t fit.

“I’m his exception and he’s my anomaly” ~Kit

And THAT’s something I’ve rarely seen before; when their bodies connect, any way it can be, it‘s driven by this soul connection; that's how they belong. They GIVE and FEEL each other. Protecting, saving, and caring. Catching one another when they fall. This is why their chemistry is incredibly powerful. It’s palpable, relentlessly holds us breathless, keeping us on the edge of a turmoil of emotions and has us simultaneously feel everything they do. It transcends the pages to reach our own soul.

This book made me laugh, cringe, got me angry, broke my heart, kept me on the tip of my chair, turned me on, frustrated me and the most important of all, got me hook completely because I loved every single part of it, even the most complicated one.

Complicated Parts is what I feel, will be the most beautiful story Ashley Jade has ever written. Don’t get me wrong, each of her books has deepness and are extraordinary AF. But this one is different. It’s about how she managed all the complicated parts like a maestros, starting with the characters themselves—broken, full of flaws yet, so compelling and with whom you can’t help but falling in love—mastering their background and issues... and reinvented completely the definition of slow burns; because it might be a slow burn, but it’s one with the intensity of the flame of hell, wrapping you from the head to the tip of your toes. It’s insanely addictive, yet sinfully beautiful.

Ashley Jade might be the Queen of angst, something she confirmed again with this book, because it’s definitely hanging, but she is first and foremost, a Master in the art of bringing to life characters bigger than nature. She knows how to deliver their story in a way she can break our heart in thousand of pieces but also heal our shattered soul when she had us gone through the highest highs and lowest lows. With her, it’s never about the destination, always the journey.

Ashley Jade did not simply write something incredible and beautiful. She went beyond this line and created magic.

Two little childs in grown up bodies...check! Hard struggle to master life...Check! Difficult family situation...check! Souls shattered in tiny sharp pieces put back together all twisted and wrong and ludicrous shaped...check! Two bizarre wrong shaped sharp edged wrong rebuilt shadows that destroy themselves and all things around them but together they rebuilt into something special and unique and precious.

This are not only words anymore. Ashley Jade morphed them into colors and created brilliant pictures. Sometimes i just sat here and stared at sentences. Some sentences felt like very old and delicate lace, fragile and breakable, soft powdry pink or cream colored. Others were light and funny, bright yellow, make me giggle into my hand or just out loud. But most i liked the deep orange and red ones. Like a bright hot flame dancing on a stack of black coals. They whirl and twist, hypnotize and draw you in. I wanted nothing more than watch these flames for hours. Because this non couple has so much subtly powerful chemistry, it got me envy. This kind of connection between two people is what we are craving all our life.

I enjoyed this second part of the jouney and can't wait to continue. Bowing my head in awe. Thank you so much Ashley Jade for your beautifully woven stories about exceptions and anomalies. Don't ever set for less than extraordinary. You rock.

The message of these books is something so unbelievably important. There's a lot that these books convey to the reader but I think one that may be the hardest to understand is kits inner turmoil. She's a lesbian that so clearly and undeniably is in love with a man. And as that love grows she becomes more and more attracted to said man. However because society leaves little room for gray areas and ties so much importance and validity to labels she thinks she must be crazy that it's not possible for her to fall for him. Not only that but she feels like if she does she'll lose the identity that she fought tooth and nail to embrace and own.

Don't even get me started on Preston. This poor man has been through so much in his life it's hard not to understand how he ended up so screwed up. However his inability to let people in to prove him wrong is so irritating I want to strangle him. He has so many secrets that he needs to unload but refuses to. He doesn't deny his love for Kit which I adore but he doesn't exactly lean into it either. Infact every fibre of his being tells him to run from that love because he thinks he doesn't deserve it or that he'll screw it up. This man doesn't understand the concept of unconditional love because he's never felt it. Even when he has it he doesn't feel it.

That being said this book is amazing. The angst is overwhelming at times but the sarcasm and rapport these two have is phenomenal. They go from crying or screaming at one another to laughing their faces off in a matter or 0.01 seconds and I live every second of it.
