Pieces of Me is book 9 of The Wilder Brothers and follows rockstar Gabriel Wilder on his journey with songwriter Briar Ashford. Note, this is a crossover book with The Ashford Creek series coming in 2026.
About Pieces of Me
Gabriel Wilder is the lead singer of his world famous band, Wilder. His best friend, Mal is the drummer. They know each other’s secrets, except for the explosive one Gabriel is keeping from everyone.
Briar Ashford is Mal’s younger sister. She has a messy family history and has moved away from her hometown because of it.
When Briar visits Mal while he is on tour with Wilder, chaos will ensue. Words will be spoken that can never be taken back. Bro code will be broken and can never be repaired. And a tragedy prevents any possibility of making amends.
Gabriel goes home to the Wilder Resort and Winery to heal and hide. He has harboring guilt over his actions and words and is not able to forgive himself. He ignores his phone and lives a quiet life helping his brothers and cousins repair and build out the resort.
When he receives surprise visitors he can’t believe his eyes. His reaction is surprisingly unexpected. Man he did not expect what he saw or his reaction.
Briar tracks Gabriel down at the resort and shows up bearing news. And she wants to talk. But he is not able to talk about what happened or his feelings. But he does step up to help her out with her surprise.
All he can think about is “what would Mal think of me now?” And “Mal must be so mad at me for what I did.” He does not see any positive yet.
But when another tragedy strikes him and Briar, how will they cope?
Impressions
I loved seeing Gabriel’s brothers being loving uncles. And although they are not in a relationship, the brothers worry about Briar and constantly check in on her, even if they use their spouses to do it.
I have to admit I am looking forward to The Ashford Creek series. After being introduced to Teagan and hearing Briar’s history with her father I need more of them and their stories.
And I am really hoping Mal gets some kind of book in The Ashford Creek series. His story deserves to be told.
Narration
Aiden Snow is my favorite male narrator and he does not disappoint as Gabriel. Samantha Cook plays Briar so perfectly. These two play well together and I look forward to listening to them together again.
