Stand by A.L. Jackson is a breathtaking symphony of visceral words and raw emotions. Jackson has readers like myself going down the proverbial rabbit hole where we must surrender to the onslaught of beauty, understanding, pain, love, and the union of two souls destined to have their lives intertwined.
Standing there, I knew this would cost me. Everything important in our lives did. Nothing was free and every action came with a consequence. No. I'd never been known as a fighter. But looking down at this girl looking up at me? I knew I'd never regret fighting for her. ”Stand is a bittersweet read since the journey of these beloved characters comes to an end. And what a journey it has been. I think it was fitting that Jackson concluded this series with Zee Kennedy’s story since this book packed that emotional punch to leave you yearning for more.
Timing. They say everything has it’s time and place. So what if you were meant to meet someone at a specific moment and time? Would you consider that fate or coincidence? For Alexis Kensington, the moment Zee Kennedy entered her world, it changed her. Not only was he the stranger that saved her but he was someone who will forever be etched in her mind, heart, and soul. It was as if the stars aligned and called Zee and Alexis together. Two jagged pieces who completed one another in order to make whole.
As perfectly constructed layers of this book are slowly exposed and unraveled, readers begins to see the truth. The light. The reasoning behind everything. The secrets of Zee Kennedy. As Zee and Alexis begins to surrender to their feelings for one another, what happens when their worlds collide in a dangerously fashion. Can Alexis be the light for Zee?
My spirit thrashed the lyrics of her song. One that was hard and confused and so utterly soft. Where the words held too much power and said all the things I’d never be allowed to say.”While Stand is a romance novel, I found it to be somewhat a cathartic story in a sense. It allowed you to surrender your feelings and vulnerability with these characters as they go through their own personal journey of healing, forgiveness and love. I will say it again, A.L. Jackson is a master of words. Her words are like lyrical poetry that sings to you and captures the depths of your soul. So if you are looking for a book that will sing beauty, honesty, and love then I highly recommend you to read Stand.
