Summary:
“She was beauty
for my ashes and I was hope for her heartache.” – Cole Danzer
I don’t know what
makes a great love story. Is it that
instant attraction when boy meets girl?
The passionate kisses and the fairy-tale ending? Or is it a lifetime of tragedy, paid in
advance, for a few stolen moments of pure bliss? The pain and the suffering
that, in the end, you can say are worth it for having found the missing piece
of your soul?
The answer
is: I don’t know. I don’t know what makes a great love
story. I only know what makes MY love
story. I only know that finding Cole
when I did, when my world had dissolved into nothing, when I couldn’t separate
nightmare from reality, was the only thing that saved me. He was more broken than I was, but somehow we
took each other’s shattered pieces and made a whole. Without him, I wouldn’t have made it. If THAT
is what makes a great love story, if THAT is what makes an epic romance, then
mine…OURS is the greatest of them all.
Review:
** I was given an
ARC to provide an Honest review. Thank you!!**
Pocketful of San
is a Contemporary Romance. I’ve read books by M. Leighton and I have never been
disappointed. After reading Pocketful of Sand, this is no exception. I couldn’t
put the book down. I was so intrigued by the character that she has created.
The whole story was beautifully written. I was instantly drawn in feeling a
part of these characters seep into my bones.
You could
instantly tell that there was going to be something bone shattering deep about
her female lead, Eden. Eden is a strong, independent woman. She has a daughter,
Emmy and se is fiercely protective of her. You can tell that her story was
going to be sad. She has enough baggage to carry anyone into a new life and I’m
not going to lie, I felt so sad for her. Her back story is one of sadness and
heartache and you honestly cannot NOT feel bad for her. She is constantly
running from her past. She does everything she can, not to be found. Her
daughter Emmy is a sweetheart. The love she feels for her mother is so evident
that it makes you smile. Emmy has her own little bag of troubles too and it
breaks your heart when you find out what she has been through.
Cole’s past is
just as devastating as Eden’s. He is completely broken and he carries the
weight of his decision on his shoulders. His guilt eats him from the inside
out. He has his own past that he is trying to hide from and because of it,
everyone thinks he is crazy. Besides him being seemingly quiet, he is a strong
passionate man. When Eden and Emmy make their way into his small town in Maine,
his world is taken out from beneath his feet. They make their way into his
heart and mind, breaking down the walls that he had so powerfully built it.
When the two
meet, they are drawn to each other instantly. There is a pull between them that
neither want to fight. The intimacy between the two? Yah… ridiculously HOT!!! I
definitely went red in the face a few times! Their chemistry was so powerful.
The writing in
this story seemed effortless. I enjoyed it so much. It was different from prior
stories that I have read. The feel of it was so different and I thought for M.
Leighton is showed how well of a writer she is. If you have any doubts about
reading this book, I’m squashing them for you. This book was amazing. I’m not
telling you if they achieved their happily ever after. The ending of this book
leaves you reeling and you won’t know what hit you!
