*I received this book free from Entangled Publishing in exchange for an honest review*Full Measures is a beautifully written emotional story filled with heartache and pain and a love that it so beautiful it defies words.Ember, being the oldest, steps up and helps run the family household while her mother falls apart, despite falling apart herself. Her world starts to crumble on that dreadful day when two men in uniform knock on their door, and then it continues its downward spiral when the one who was supposed to be there to support her finds he has other things to keep him busy.Josh’s life changed the day his mother got sick, but he did what he had to do and moved forward. But the moment he saw Ember break down in a grocery store he learned something that both broke his heart and brought it back to life. She had always been his holy grail, something unattainable, something he didn’t deem himself worthy to touch, but this time he couldn’t let her walk out of his life. This time he had to be there for her. To be her whatever.This story started by breaking my heart and whatever tiny bit of joy brought it back up would only drop and bring it back down again, but the pages kept flipping by in hopes of finding that happily ever after.Have to say, I’d be quite interested in reading more about Jagger and Sam. Not necessarily together, but then again…maybe.My Favorite Moment: I have so many that I loved that it’s hard to narrow down. I loved the cabin and the restraint shown, at least for one of them. I loved the ice cream shop with the strawberry cone. I loved the hands touching through the glass after the game. I loved it all!My Favorite Quote: “We’re unbelievable together. I’ve never felt that before. You stripped my soul clean.”
