I have read every book by Sophie Jackson that she has written so far. I fell for her writing with the first release A Pound of Flesh and was immediately hooked. I always get so excited when she releases a new book I am able to review and cannot wait to dive in. This is book 5 in this series and once again she has captured my attention and my heart.
A Measure of Love by Sophie Jackson
Series: A Pound of Flesh (Book 5)
Publisher: Gallery Books (June 21, 2016)
ISBN-13: 978-1476795614
From award-winning fanfic phenomenon Sophie Jackson, the third novel in the sexy and emotionally intense blockbuster A Pound of Flesh series.
Life in New York for ex-con Riley Moore is pretty damn good, until a call from his mother shatters the calm: his father has suffered his second heart attack in two years and is in a critical condition. Leaving everything behind, Riley flies home to Michigan for the first time in five years to support his mother and do his best to make amends with his father. He also tries not to think about Lexie Pierce, the only girl he ever truly cared about, and who broke his heart.
When they inevitably meet, memories of their love make Riley yearn to reconnect, despite the pain they both suffered. Though she’s wary, and has a secret she’s hidden from him for five years, Lexie has little willpower when it comes to Riley and she agrees. Besides, after all that has gone before, she owes it to both of them to find out if they can love each other again.
Can they both overcome their sorrow and secrets and finally share their life together?
A powerful new voice in modern romance, Sophie Jackson has crafted a passionate love story with unforgettable characters that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.
Thoughts About A Measure of Love by Sophie Jackson
In my opening I told you that this is the 5th book in the series yet some my see it as the 3rd book. That is because the author has also released 2 mini ebook novellas that fill in gaps and give her followers more insight into the stories.
The Pound of Flesh series tells the stories of 4 best friends. Sweet, hot, and full of passion, these guys wear their hearts on their sleeves for the women they love and the guys who are like brothers. However, these books are stand alone’s that can be enjoyed in any order.
Told from the guys point of view, A Measure of Love tells the story of Riley and his only love, Lexie. Full of hope and passion, this story takes us through their life together from the time they met as children. Riley has loved her for all of those years and still longs for her but she has broken his heart. It has been 5 long years since he has seen her and yet she is still in his heart.
Full of heartbreak with hope of a future, this book pulls the emotional heartstrings that will bring a few tears and a few smiles along the way. Sophie Jackson is a master at developing characters that are deep, passionate, and fun too. You connect intimately with the characters and become a part of the family.
This book is a wonderful read that is full of memories and the delicate balance of love, family and a beautiful future for Riley and Lexie. Another amazing read that just sucks me further into this series. I hate to even think that there maybe only one more book in the series. Sigh….
