Naomi's Reading Palace: Review ~ All Things Pretty by M. Leighton

Title: All Things Pretty

Author: M. Leighton

Series: Pretty #3

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Published: September 30th 2014

Pretending to be something they’re not, afraid to trust anyone completely, destined to tear each other apart– this is the story of unlikely love and unbearable consequences.

Sig Locke is a cop. He was raised by a cop and all his brothers are cops. He bleeds blue, believes in right and wrong, and sees in black and white, never in shades of gray.

But that was before he met Tommi.

Tommi, with her long legs and bright green eyes, she captured Sig’s interest from the moment he saw her. Even after he discovered who she was–the girlfriend of a drug dealer, the beauty behind a criminal–he still found her utterly irresistible. What Sig doesn’t know, however, is that she has a secret even a cop can’t uncover.

Tommi Lawrence hasn’t had an easy life, and it only got more complicated the day she met Sig. She learned long ago that she can’t trust anyone. Her gut tells her that Sig is no exception, her heart tells her that he is. But that was before she found out his real identity.

Can love be forged in a fire of lies? Or will the truth destroy them both?

I have been keen to get my hands onto Sig’s book since I realised his book was next. There were glimpses of him in the previous books and I knew I would love him… and boy did I ever! Sig’s story is actually told over two books, so once you purchase the first book, you sign up for Michelle’s newsletter and you will receive the second book FOR FREE!! What an awesome concept! Now, that it is out, I will get onto it as soon as possible!

Tommi is one mysterious girl. I learnt early on that she is associated with some questionable people. She hides the full extent of her connection and why she cannot cut ties from them, but there are plenty of hints dropped along the way. I could see immediately that she was attracted to Sig, but her commitments keep her from making a move.

Sig, well, he’s a very confident guy and I love how forward he is with Tommi. He takes his job very seriously and is eager to go undercover, even though he is doing it for the girl as well. I got to see how sweet Sig was, doing nice things for Tommi and seeing him get a little protective of her.

I coasted through this book, enjoying the growing sexual tension between Sig and Tommi. I highlighted heaps of lines of lines (as per usual for me in a Leighton book) enjoying the banter between these two and their sweet moments. They take a huge risk and their relationship becomes stronger because of it. Nothing could prepare me for that ending though!! I did not see that coming at all and I am dying to get the next book to see what happens next!! Well done Michelle, just when I think I’ve seen it all, you throw that at me!
