Full Measures Flight Glory Book 1 edition by Rebecca Yarros Literature Fiction eBooks

Instead of being about two broken people being healed by the power of love, Full Measures is about one girl whose life suddenly crumbles around her, and then finding love among the chaos. It's December's 20th birthday (and yes, it's in December) when her family gets the visitors they've been dreading. Her father, an army doctor, was shot and killed in Afghanistan that morning. Ember has to step up to take care of her two younger siblings, since her mother has mentally and emotionally checked out, but no one is looking out for her. That is until Josh steps back into her life. Ember had a crush on him in high school, and now he's showing an interest in her, and offers himself to her no strings attached for whatever she needs.

Military romances aren't generally my thing, but I really enjoyed Full Measures. Ember's life is a mess, but she's desperately trying to hold it all together, and she doesn't want to drag Josh down with her. She's always had her life perfectly planned out, but with her father's death, and then an unwelcome surprise from her long-time boyfriend, everything is spiraling out of control. Ember has to figure out what she wants, and who she is without a man, while also making sure her family stays afloat. It's a lot to deal with, without falling in love in the process.

I loved Ember and Josh together! He's the sexy, hockey star and her little brother's coach. He also has a reputation with the ladies, but once he gets Ember back in his life, all of that is behind him. They have some super smokin' scenes together! Seriously. And I actually liked their inevitable fight! I was 100% with Ember on that! I couldn't do it either! I suspected that twist, but also thought maybe it wouldn't be that, since it's too obvious. But it was, and that's okay, because I believed it! Of course, they get their happy ending, so I was happy.

Full Measures was really great. It's emotional in the beginning and at the end, the middle is super sexy and fun as Josh and Ember get to know each other better. I also liked watching Ember deal with her family problems. There's some important issues dealt with in regards to her teenage sister, and I liked that Ember actually dealt with them in a realistic manner rather than just excusing her. All in all, this was an enjoyable read.

Full Measures Flight Glory Book 1 edition by Rebecca Yarros Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Please note this review may contain spoilers.

On her 20th birthday, December’s world is shattered when she learns that her father has been killed in Afghanistan. Her mother shuts down and, being the oldest of three children, she is forced to take control of the family and handle everything in relation to her father’s death. Her self-involved boyfriend is of absolutely no help and her sister starts rebelling, which only add to the strain. And on what is the darkest day of her life, the reappearance of her high school crush, Josh, and the feelings he awakens are confusing and not what she needs to deal with right now.

December and Josh are a beautiful couple. December is a very strong and selfless young woman, even when she doesn’t want to be. She wants to break down. She wants to grieve. But she’s the glue keeping her family together, so what she wants will have to wait. While everyone in this book suffers a loss of some sort, December is dealt with more than anyone else and it’s amazing how much she takes without breaking. Josh is an absolute sweetheart but he’s no pushover. He’s kind and patient, and he steps in to help however he can, even when she swears she doesn’t need him.

This is not the first time I’ve read FULL MEASURES but it still had me crying, so having tissues nearby is a must. It was good reading this again because certain comments made by Josh throughout the book made a lot more sense the second time around. If you’re looking for a read that will grip your heart within the first few pages and not let go, FULL MEASURES is for you.
There are so many emotional layers to this novel it is hard to know where to start. Though, I suppose, it would be best to start at the beginning.

Ember Howard is likable from the first page. She is a relatable young woman whose world is dealt a shattering blow. A military brat all her life, she and her family understand the risks involved when a loved one is overseas, but no one ever sees it coming. And when three knocks at Ember’s door arrive too early one morning, she knows nothing will ever be the same. Her father was killed overseas and now Ember is left with a family in pieces and she is the only one strong enough to hold them together.

Yarros has an incredible way of weaving vivid scenes with concrete details. She does what only the best author’s can do—grounds the reader in the world she has created to the point where we’re no longer reading a book, but living another life. And Ember’s is one worth falling into.

The scenes in which Ember deals with the loss of her father are as much heart-wrenching as they are eye-opening. Readers get a taste of the real effects of war—not from a television screen or from the lips of a reporter who has never left the United States—but from the perspective of the family. It is close and real and raw, with such authenticity that, as Ember takes stuttered breaths, readers carry the weight with her as opposed to being a bystander.

Ember is a strong female character who inherits the care-taker role for her family when her mother mentally checks out after losing the love of her life. Ember is selfless, giving up the life she knew and stepping into a new world where she is the only one who can save her family. There isn’t a second for her to focus on her own grief, but she’s fine with it. She doesn’t need anyone to save her. Or so she thinks.

Enter Josh Walker—Ember’s little brother’s incredibly sexy hockey coach. He’s in high demand among the lady-goers of the hockey world, but he only has eyes for Ember, and is willing to be whatever she needs to get through the days. Friend. Lover. Confidante. Josh supports her when she doesn’t realize she needs it, makes her laugh when she never thinks she will again, and ignites a fire inside her she was sure was frozen forever. And just when Ember thinks she is finally pulling the broken pieces of herself together, a secret is unveiled that is so world-shaking, she may not recover this time.

The chemistry between Ember and Josh is undeniable and their interaction is downright addicting. Their easy give and take is effortless and Yarros gives us a natural character dynamic that doesn’t feel forced. These two characters come together because their meant to, not because their circumstances have forced them to, and the obstacles in their path are a true testament to Yarros’ ability to create tension so painfully exquisite readers won’t want to put the book down.

This novel has a ton of heart—enough to make readers cry, laugh, and squeal with excitement—but there is an equal amount of heat. The passion between Ember and Josh is so flame worthy it’ll have readers panting for more.

FULL MEASURES is a novel that burrows deep in your heart and stays there, with characters who you find yourself missing, and a love you’ll want to revisit again and again.
