I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he needed me as much as I needed him.
The first time I saw Roman Dante King, he stuck out like an odd puzzle piece that got mixed up in the wrong box. It wasn’t his blue eyes in the dim light of the bar, the tattoos that covered his arms and hands, or even his arrogant personality. It was something else—something I couldn’t see—that told me he didn’t belong in our small beach town on the Oregon coast.
Elora Mazie Barlow reminded me of a hummingbird zipping from one flower to another, never stopping, never allowing anyone more than a glimpse before she was gone. Never letting anyone in… until me. Then she gave me her smiles that were more valuable than anything I ever owned and wrapped me in her peace without asking for anything in return.
Her tragic story sounded achingly familiar to my own.
Our connection is knotted up in loss. The journey we’re on together will eventually come to an end. But will we be able to untangle the mess of strings that have tied us together?
Will we even want to?

This book is quite the journey!! From one that starts in the depths of grief and loss, I love how we get to stumble with the characters through a journey of swirling emotions, as they build a life of strength, prevailing over what haunted them.
Elora and Roman are complete opposites, yet their experiences of loss and grief are what connect them far beyond what physical and worldly attributes could. They find each other in the dark, swirling in sadness that neither is sure they’ll ever be able to overcome. Yet, while in such a broken state, an incredible story weaves these two through incredible moments that make you believe in finding love that is so much deeper than on the surface – it’s all the way to the soul.
One of my favorite parts of Elora is how she radiates happiness, joy, and love, despite being lost in her own waves of sadness. She’s incredibly strong (far more than she gives herself credit for!), displaying this in how she doesn’t cast her own grief onto others. Roman is grumpy in the way that I’ve come to know and love about characters who are the “grump”. We know he’s going to let the sunshine in and when it happens, it’s one of the most breathtaking moments of the book. The twist I loved was how Roman didn’t realize just how much they would relate to one another.
I absolutely adore everything this author writes, but this one takes the cake for me. It’s full of powerful emotion that bleeds right off the pages, into your hands, and straight to your heart!
