All of Me by A.L. Jackson

5.0

This was the story of Ian and it was truly an emotional journey from start to finish. A broken, bitter, angry man that paints himself a demon, a devil, not capable of love, not worthy of anything remotely mirroring happiness. It's all surface. All a front. Until he meets Grace. And true to her name that is what she was. Graceful. Loving. Beautiful. The epitome of everything Ian sees himself not worthy of. But from the minute he touches her, dances with her, picks her up from the road, there is no going back. He sees where it will end. He tries to fight it. But she opens something in him. Digs it out of the darkness, the obyss it's been hidden in and makes him feel. Even when he sees the wreckage coming he can't stop it. He will do anything he has to to save Grace, even if it means the end of all he thought he wanted.
A masterpiece of emotions, thus story had it all. I am utterly broken and than put back together again. I feel like a when 10 rounds with a heavy weight boxer and came out the other side. Alive, but different.
Well done to AL Jackson. Five starts are the most I can give this, but in NY heart it is worth so much more. Beautiful in all its ugly, heartbreaking realness.
