She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, encased inside the bakery’s picture window like a living piece of art.

There are no words describe how much I am in love with Langley Park. The Measure of Home did not disappoint! Gabe and Monica’s story was sweet, it was heartbreaking and it was sexy.

Gabe had spent years watching Monica while he delivered the morning paper, until one day he was able to express how he truly felt and the rest was history. Both Gabe and Monica wanted to feel like the belonged in the world, they had dreams, they had hopes and they had plans together, but fate didn’t seem to work out in their favor. They both go their separate ways, but end up back in Langley Park working together again, thanks to everyone’s favorite Oma.

Mise en place is a way of life where, order, precision, and perfection reign supreme.

I couldn’t put this book down. I am in love with Gabe and Monica’s story. I can’t say I feel bad for Monica after what she did. I was truly rooting for Gabe throughout the story. He deserved everything he had worked so hard for.

Oma is serious goals though. I was in love with her from the start! She reminded me of my Oma. She was feisty, hardworking and she knew what was going on. She loved both her granddaughter, Monica, but she also loved Gabe.

This is another fantastic story from Krista. I definitely recommend to start at book one in the series, though, this could be read as a standalone, the others are fantastic and give you some background into some of the other characters.

You are not measured by where you come from or what you have or don’t have. You will be measured by what you do. You will be measured by how hard you work.
