A friends-to-lovers second-chance romance…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 … 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.
The highly anticipated sexy, suspenseful stand-alone second-chance romance from NYT Bestselling Author, A.L. Jackson.

A 5-Star beautiful heartwrenching love story that will absolutely wreck you….. but in the best possible way! How do I even begin to put into words how much I LOVED this book! It has taken me three days to even write this review because I’m afraid my words will not do justice to this phenomenal story. A.L. has once again given us a story that is filled with amazing friendships, angst, suspense and so much emotion that you will be hanging on to the edge of your seat page after page until the very end. Ollie and Nikki’s story will captivate, enrapture and consume you while ripping your heart apart and eventually piecing it back together slowly leaving you with one helluva book hangover! This is one 5-star story you definitely want to read!
Another gorgeous, emotional, angsty, romantic suspense from the talented AL Jackson. A Must read!
Lead Me Home is the 3rd and final book in A.L. Jackson’s Fight For Me Series. I had been looking forward to this book since Book 1….Show Me the Way.
I will say that Lead Me Home was the perfect ending to this series. It wrapped up the storyline perfectly. It answered all my questions and we finally found out what happened in the past.
Each of these books are standalone novels but I would suggest reading them in order because I feel there would be spoilers if read out of order. Plus, I feel the storyline kind of continues from book to book. Now even though I say that, each book focuses on a new couple and their own issues that follow, but each book has a secondary storyline about something that happened in the past for these characters.
Lead Me Home, I believe is the most angst filled book of the three. Nikki and Ollie did a lot of the push pull thing throughout the whole story. I have to be honest and say I did enjoy this story and I was shocked at what is revealed in this book, but it wasn’t my favorite. I thought there was a little too much push/pull going on for my liking. I also thought there was too much inner monologuing going on. It felt more like some one was reading the story to me instead of me feeling what the characters were going through. I just thought Nikki and Ollie were in their heads too much in this story.
I would label this book a romantic suspense but also a second chance romance. I thought the mystery of the storyline was intriguing and kept me turning the pages. And like I said A.L. Jackson blew my mind with how this story ended and what was revealed. But this is also a second chance at romance for Nikki and Ollie.
Nikki and Ollie have known each other since they were really young and pretty much grew up together, along with Ollie’s sister Sydney (who went missing 14 years ago) Nikki and Ollie loved each other back in their teens but because of one tragic night, Ollie vowed to stay away from Nikki and kept turning her away. Now 14 years later…Nikki is faced with some danger herself and Ollie has sworn to always protect her, even if she doesn’t want it. Will these two be able to move past the past and find their HEA?? Read this book to find out.
I loved that we got to see the past couples in this story as well. I loved catching up with all of them. Each of the past couples play an important part in this story and Ollie’s past.
I would recommend this book/series to all of A.L. Jackson’s fans out there. If you have read any of her books in the past you know what you will be getting when you pick up one of her books. You will get a romance novel that is filled with drama, angst and a lot of emotion. If you haven’t read her books yet, then all I have to say is….What Are You Waiting For????
I knew A.L. Jackson was going to bring me to my knees with this read……..
I have been patiently waiting for Ollie and Nikki’s story since this series started. (ok maybe not patiently.) But I knew it was going to be and emotional heart wrenching read. But I didn’t realize Jackson was going to put us through that much turmoil. When I first started reading I wanted to hang Ollie by his unmentionables for all heartache he had put Nikki through over the years. But as the story played out it all made perfect sense.
This book had a hard subject matter. But it was beautifully written and the connection/love between Ollie and Nikki was undeniable and even though it was painful at times. It was so beautiful. Another POWERFUL read by A.L. Jackson.
5+++ STARS!!!
Sunshine and the Beast
This book gave me ALL THE FEELS!
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Ollie’s story. He’s my favorite kind of hero. Brooding, dark, wounded, doesn’t believe he’s worth anything…when in reality he’s worth EVERYTHING!
Ollie lives his life one day at a time. Going through the motions all the while on over a decades worth of a mission. His guilt over an unfathomable event as a teen and unspeakable words from his mother rack his brain every day and haunt his dreams every night.
Nikki is a bright spot in his dark world. She’s the sunshine in all the lives of those around her. She only wants to help, but has been kept at an arms length almost her whole life.
A scary time throws them together and Ollie vows to continue to keep her safe…not knowing of the darkness that lurks.
This ride has some heartbreaking and crazy twists and oh so many beautiful moments. A.L. Jackson has spread her magic all over this and it has quickly been bumped to one of my fave 2018 reads…more so one of my most fave reads ever!
