Why read it?

2 authors picked A Stone in the Sea as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is the first in A.L. Jackson’s Bleeding Stars series and I can’t say enough about how much I love it. Two very broken people, Sebastian Stone and Shea Bentley, kept me on the ledge, knots tight in my stomach, waiting for their story to unfold. Jackson does an amazing job at building the depths of these characters and developing the consuming, can’t-live-without, love affair. I’m a true sucker for a story that is gut-wrenchingly beautiful. Both the characters have deep secrets, but Shea shows great courage and control over her life which I admire. Quick disclaimer: Jackson leaves…

This book hit my heart so hard. I felt it on a visceral level with my stomach plummeting to the depths while my heart raced erratically in my chest. The anguish and agony of two lost souls just trying to find their way through the sludge of what their lives have become. It broke me in two with every line and page, leaving me needing more. Needing the hard-fought happily ever after I crave. This is the first book in a duet and the next is just as gut clenching as the first. 

From Nola's list on soul rocking romance.
