Review: Lead Me Home by A. L. Jackson

Lead Me Home is the third book in the Fight for Me series but only the first one I have read. It's a romance heavy with emotion and there's a good amount of suspense mixed in. It took me some time getting used to the writing style. Purple prose, singular word paragraphs and sentences made for a somewhat distracting read in the beginning, but eventually I was drawn into the story enough to ignore it. I really liked getting to see into the past and present lives of these main characters, Nikki and Ollie. It really helped me connect and understand them more, as well as root for them to get their second chance as a couple. In the present time there is a lot of push and pull between the two, and Ollie is the one most resistant to crossing the lines of friendship. You could really feel how much he struggled with his guilt. He wanted to live, to love, but felt because of the gravity of his mistakes in the past he didn't deserve anything good in his life. Nikki was always there for Ollie, supporting him, even when she told herself she couldn't do it anymore. Their romantic journey explored pain, loss, hurt, healing, forgiveness, and love. I enjoyed the romance between Nikki and Ollie and I definitely want to go back and read the first two books in the series after meeting some of the characters in this story. Lead Me Home was an intense but sweet ride and if you enjoy angst filled friends-to-lovers or second chance love stories, I'd say check it out!

Fourteen years ago, my life changed forever. My sister disappeared. That day I was selfish. That day I chose myself over her. And that day, I lost everything. Including Nikki Walters. She's the girl I’ve loved my whole life. She’s gorgeous. Caring. Every single thing I’ve ever wanted but denied myself. She was my sister’s best friend, and I destroyed any chance of keeping her. When her safety is threatened, I have a second chance to do the right thing. But as soon as she moves in, I want her in all the wrong ways. All it takes is a brush of her hand, and I’m losing all control. The fire between us is only burning hotter. But neither of us saw what was coming. And it just might be Nikki Walters who destroys me in the end.
