Review: All Things Pretty (Pretty #3) by M. Leighton

Sarah 5 Stars, All Things Pretty, M. Leighton, Pretty, Review No comments

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?

First and foremost, I love this book because it was written by M. Leighton. This lady is awesome. She is such a wonderful author to interact with and truly appreciates all the love and support she gets. She is a true southern belle that isn’t pushy or overbearing. God has truly blessed her with a loving husband to help give her inspiration in her stories and support everything she does. I am so honored to say that I’ve met her and that I am a frequent M. Leighton stalker. (Only on social media)

For the story, I gave it 5 stars. This is a two part story and to get part 2, you must subscribe to M. Leighton’s newsletter for second part because of her contract that she signed when she did Sig’s story. Michelle stated that she felt like she couldn’t get it all out in that short amount, so she made it two parts, the second part which is free.

Sig Locke was born and raised a cop. He has always done by the book and by the law. He does not act above the law. Until Tommi came around…

Tommi caught Sig’s attention as a damsel in distress. A chance meeting Tommi was once in a lifetime, even after he discovered who she was involved with (a drug dealer), he still couldn’t resist her. But what is Tommi hiding? Will be being a cop pan out and help Sig solve the mystery of Tommi?

Tommi Lawrence had a rough upbringing. It only got more complex, the day she met Sig. She trusts no one. Her heart says trust him, her gut says that no matter what, Sig is no exception to trust anyone. Can love shine through all the lies or will the truth be the end of All Things Pretty.

I love how in M. Leighton’s books she tells the story from both characters POV, giving you insight into Sig & Tommi’s feelings & emotions. It’s important to know how they both feel and what each person is hiding to see who tells the truth. The hot and steamy scenes are so realistic. You can picture yourself as Tommi and what is being done. I love how no matter what tragedy the characters face, there is usually a happily ever after. But at this point, it’s a cliffy until book 2 comes out. What I have read so far, I love Sig & Tommi and I can’t wait to see what happens with both of them. As always M. Leighton doesn’t disappoint, she always exceeds my expectations. I will definitely pass on to all my friends that I’ve shared the rest of the Pretty Series with.
