Blurb:
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?

Aurora Rose Reynolds is an author that I have read before and enjoyed, that played a big part in wanting to read King of Nothing. My previous reading journeys with Ms Reynolds didn't prepare me for the wonderful book that is Elora and Roman's story. This is a heartwarming journey of two people who start strangers and offer solace and healing to each other without even trying.
Ms Reynolds crafted excellent characters that were incredibly relatable. I wanted to reach into the story and give them big hugs as they got to know each other. One of the things I appreciated about the King of Nothing was how Elora and Roman eased into first a friendship then more.
I'm struggling a little bit with how to capture the emotional impact this story had for me without giving too much away. I don't want to retell the story or be a spoiler for anyone. I wish "go read this book" would be enough....I will say how Roman treated Elora like she was precious and how she maintained her independence while allowing him to open up played a big part in loving this book.
