It's been a while since I read anything by A.L. Jackson, so I decided to give More of You a try. It was an intense and sweet read, but I wasn't blown away like I hoped I would be.
Title: More of You
Author: A.L. Jackson
Series: Confessions of the Heart #1
Genre: Contemporary Romance
My daddy warned me never to fall for a boy like Jace Jacobs . . .
The second I saw him walk through the door, I knew he was trouble.
A gorgeous rebel with a bad attitude and a huge chip on his shoulder.
My heart warned me. I didn’t listen.
I fell hard and fast.
He promised we’d be together forever, and then left me with a broken heart.
Now, ten years later, Jace Jacobs is standing at my door.
Sexier than he’s ever been.
Provocative and commanding.
Successful and powerful.
The man I always knew he would become.
But I promised myself I’d never lose my heart to him again.
Even time couldn’t dim our chemistry. One glance of his intense eyes, and I become weak. One brush of his hand, and he brings me to my knees.
Little do I know, Jace holds the key to everything I’ve lost and everything that threatens my future.
Now he will either save me, or he will break me all over again . . .

I
came across this one the other day and it sounded pretty exciting so
I decided to dive straight into it. It was fun getting to know both
Faith and Jace and realising the history they both had. I enjoyed
being in this small town, but there was some darkness hiding there
that I wanted to see unravel.
Faith
had been through a lot in the past 10 years and it was sad seeing the
roller-coaster her life had become. She had had grieved more than one
person should, and Jace was one of those reasons. I liked seeing her
be so confident and strong because she was not only protecting
herself any more.
Jace
had a tough life before leaving 10 years ago, but in recent years he
had worked hard to become a successful business man. He came back to
town because he knew something wasn't right after the loss of his
cousin. I liked that he was so kind and was willing to do what he
could to make Faith's life better and I knew that these two would
fall for one another once again.
I've
read A.L. Jackson in the past and although she is a great writer, however she
never manages to blow me away. I find that sometimes the story drags
out way too long and I get a little bored that I skip through some
moments. I did enjoy the suspense element woven through this
particular story, but I found it hard when the characters struggled
with their feelings! I was thinking Argh! Grow a set, you are all
adults! Anyway, if you like a slow build to a story, getting to know
characters and seeing their relationships strengthen, you will enjoy
this one!
Here are a couple of sweet moments between Faith and Jace... you could feel the chemistry oozing off the pages!
“Don’t do that,” he softly chided. His thumb moved to her lip that was tucked between her teeth, setting it free.
The skin tingled from his touch.
“Do what?” she whispered, her eyes wide and unsure.
“Make me want to kiss you.” Faith moaned.
Just from him saying it.

“Faith,” he muttered. A warning and a question. Half a second later, those big hands landed on her neck, gliding up to tangle in her hair.
She gasped at the onslaught of sensation brought on by his touch.
But she wasn’t prepared. She wasn’t even close to being prepared for the way she would feel when his mouth slanted over hers.
His lips rough and smooth as they pressed against hers.
Slowly at first.
Giving and taking.
Testing and tasting.
Those butterflies shivered.
He edged her back until she was pinned against the wall of the house.

If she’s not writing, you can find her hanging out by the pool with her family, sipping cocktails with her friends, or of course with her nose buried in a book.
