An all-consuming poignant raw tale!!!! Ella Fox has gutted and left me emotionally drained as she took me on an rollercoaster ride of emotions with her newest release, All That's Left To Hold Onto. With her gorgeous prose, Ella Fox had me holding onto every word, emotion, and love that was pouring off the pages. Though this book was on the angsty drama side, Ms. Fox was able to steal the hearts of romance fans as she weaved a sweet, gentle, and touching love story of two people reunited after the deaths of their siblings.
When Ronan left his hometown five years ago, he closed that chapter of his life. He had no interest in wanting to be part of his adoptive family's life. So when he gets a phone call that his brother, Will had died along with his wife and his niece had survived the car accident, Ronan's carefree life was about to change. And as a man who never expected to be part of a family, Ronan finds himself creating a family with Keely, his brother's sister-in-law and his niece, Emma.
Keely didn't have a very close relationship with her half-sister, Izzy but when she discovers that her sister wanted her to raise her daughter, she knew she had to love her niece as her own. In this one moment, she saw her sister doing a selfless act by giving her daughter a chance to live a happy life. A life filled with loved.
Keely and Ronan both grew up with families that didn't show love. And so when they both decided that they wanted to raise, Emma, it united and brought them together. Soon Ronan began to see Keely as the woman, whom he wanted to spend his life forever with. And as they begin to start their journey as a family, drama begins to ensue when another family member enters into the picture threatening to take Emma away from them. As Keely and Ronan face this challenge head on, will their love and strength be enough to hold onto and help them overcome this threat?
All That's Left to Hold Onto definitely delivers the message that " home is where the heart is" and for Keely and Ronan, their home resides within each other's heart and with their baby girl, Emma. Though this book had a brewing love story, the main emphasis and backdrop of this book that captured my heart was the weaving of raw emotions, second chances, and new beginnings. I love how Ms. Fox stripped her readers bare with raw emotions in such allowing us to feel for her characters. My heart broke for Ronan, Keely and for Izzy especially in the last moments of her life. So if you are looking for a book that will put your heart in a juggernaut of emotions and yet also consume you with a sweet love story of second chances then I highly recommend you to read All That's Left To Hold Onto.
