She knew. That’s why Mom hadn’t opened the door. She knew he was dead.Twenty years as an army brat and Ember Howard knew, too. The soldiers at the door meant her dad was never coming home.

He has a way of erasing the pain with a single look, a single touch. As much as she wants to turn off her feelings and endure the heartache on her own, she can’t deny their intense attraction.

Full Measures Flight Glory Book 1 edition by Rebecca Yarros Literature Fiction eBooks
There are so many emotional layers to this novel it is hard to know where to start. Though, I suppose, it would be best to start at the beginning.Ember Howard is likable from the first page. She is a relatable young woman whose world is dealt a shattering blow. A military brat all her life, she and her family understand the risks involved when a loved one is overseas, but no one ever sees it coming. And when three knocks at Ember’s door arrive too early one morning, she knows nothing will ever be the same. Her father was killed overseas and now Ember is left with a family in pieces and she is the only one strong enough to hold them together.
Yarros has an incredible way of weaving vivid scenes with concrete details. She does what only the best author’s can do—grounds the reader in the world she has created to the point where we’re no longer reading a book, but living another life. And Ember’s is one worth falling into.
The scenes in which Ember deals with the loss of her father are as much heart-wrenching as they are eye-opening. Readers get a taste of the real effects of war—not from a television screen or from the lips of a reporter who has never left the United States—but from the perspective of the family. It is close and real and raw, with such authenticity that, as Ember takes stuttered breaths, readers carry the weight with her as opposed to being a bystander.
Ember is a strong female character who inherits the care-taker role for her family when her mother mentally checks out after losing the love of her life. Ember is selfless, giving up the life she knew and stepping into a new world where she is the only one who can save her family. There isn’t a second for her to focus on her own grief, but she’s fine with it. She doesn’t need anyone to save her. Or so she thinks.
Enter Josh Walker—Ember’s little brother’s incredibly sexy hockey coach. He’s in high demand among the lady-goers of the hockey world, but he only has eyes for Ember, and is willing to be whatever she needs to get through the days. Friend. Lover. Confidante. Josh supports her when she doesn’t realize she needs it, makes her laugh when she never thinks she will again, and ignites a fire inside her she was sure was frozen forever. And just when Ember thinks she is finally pulling the broken pieces of herself together, a secret is unveiled that is so world-shaking, she may not recover this time.
The chemistry between Ember and Josh is undeniable and their interaction is downright addicting. Their easy give and take is effortless and Yarros gives us a natural character dynamic that doesn’t feel forced. These two characters come together because their meant to, not because their circumstances have forced them to, and the obstacles in their path are a true testament to Yarros’ ability to create tension so painfully exquisite readers won’t want to put the book down.
This novel has a ton of heart—enough to make readers cry, laugh, and squeal with excitement—but there is an equal amount of heat. The passion between Ember and Josh is so flame worthy it’ll have readers panting for more.
FULL MEASURES is a novel that burrows deep in your heart and stays there, with characters who you find yourself missing, and a love you’ll want to revisit again and again.

Full Measures Flight Glory Book 1 edition by Rebecca Yarros Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
“War was such a spiteful bitch; she took everything we loved and handed us back a folded flag in return, telling us the honor of their sacrifice was a just and equal payment. It wasn’t.”
“The fire you have within you is impossible to kill. The first breath you take when you’re free of all of this, it will come roaring back. That’s what is so impossibly beautiful about you.”
“There’s nothing better than us.”
“Full Measures” by Rebecca Yarros
Review by NICUNurse96
I actually found this book and read it a couple of years ago. It’s one of those on my list of favorites that I will re-read over and over again. So it definitely gets a 4 out of 4 propeller rating! Now that Teresa, FlyGirl and I are doing book reviews/discussions via podcast, I wanted to introduce them to this author and to this book series. Full Measures is book 1 of 4 in this author’s Flight & Glory series.
Heartbreak, devastation, recovery, hope and love. These are what this book is all about. Josh and Ember are now one of my favorite book couples of all time. Most likely because they remind me a lot of my husband and I… a history in high school yet took us years to get it all together and make it work!
For those of us who have loved ones who have served or are currently serving on active duty, this is a difficult read emotionally. It’s all too easy to put yourself in Ember’s shoes. But, in my opinion, that’s what makes this book so good. Even if you can’t imagine it because you have a loved one serving, she MAKES you imagine how you’d feel. Mrs. Yarros is an exceptionally talented author, in my humble opinion. She does a fabulous job of pulling you into the story and an equally fabulous job of keeping you in it. And if I say much more, there will be too many spoilers! Just trust me… and Teresa and FlyGirl… You WANT to read this book! And check out our podcast discussing why we all agree that this is a must read! Also, if you like this book, be sure to check out the other books in this series Eyes Turned Skyward, Beyond What is Given and Hallowed Ground. All equally and wonderfully heart wrenching in their own ways. Rebecca Yarros also has 2 other book series currently, so be sure to check out her Ignite and Renegades series as well!
Please note this review may contain spoilers.
On her 20th birthday, December’s world is shattered when she learns that her father has been killed in Afghanistan. Her mother shuts down and, being the oldest of three children, she is forced to take control of the family and handle everything in relation to her father’s death. Her self-involved boyfriend is of absolutely no help and her sister starts rebelling, which only add to the strain. And on what is the darkest day of her life, the reappearance of her high school crush, Josh, and the feelings he awakens are confusing and not what she needs to deal with right now.
December and Josh are a beautiful couple. December is a very strong and selfless young woman, even when she doesn’t want to be. She wants to break down. She wants to grieve. But she’s the glue keeping her family together, so what she wants will have to wait. While everyone in this book suffers a loss of some sort, December is dealt with more than anyone else and it’s amazing how much she takes without breaking. Josh is an absolute sweetheart but he’s no pushover. He’s kind and patient, and he steps in to help however he can, even when she swears she doesn’t need him.
This is not the first time I’ve read FULL MEASURES but it still had me crying, so having tissues nearby is a must. It was good reading this again because certain comments made by Josh throughout the book made a lot more sense the second time around. If you’re looking for a read that will grip your heart within the first few pages and not let go, FULL MEASURES is for you.
