“She’s beauty for my ashes. And I’m 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 Emmy and I were running from a nightmare, was the only thing that saved me. That saved us. He was more broken than I was, but somehow we took each other’s shattered pieces and made a whole. 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.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Eden is running and looking for a safe place to live with her daughter Emmy. While walking on the beach they see a man building a sand castle. There is something about him that pulls Eden. Cole has his own past, guilt and grief have kept him a broken man for years. Until he sees Eden and Emmy on the beach. For the first time in years he actually feels something. Gives him a small glimpse of hope that maybe he can move on to his future.

If you are looking for a book with angst, romance and love this is the book for you. As two broken people slowly start to heal from their pasts, they learn how to love again. Both main characters were such beautifully written. They both slowly break down their walls. As both their past come back to them, they deal with it maturely and honestly. The unique ending in the book I really enjoyed. I am not giving anything away. You just have to read it for yourself.
