Read this Book

This is about Peyton and Linc... Linc is also friends with Peyton's (Gay) brother Flex... of course both Peyton and Linc are unaware of this, which leads to a whole bunch of misunderstandings which makes you laugh out loud! This was an enjoyable read, filled with just enough passion between Peyton and Linc and some nosey sisters. Just one more thing to add, I recommend all books by this author and Niobia Bryant!

A refreshing twist on the classic romance tale!

Adrianne Byrd has crafted a uniquely interesting and humorous story in her new release "Measure of a man". Lincoln is a handsome and witty firefighter who is looking for new thrills in his personal and professional life. His coworker and friend Flex has a major crush on Lincoln, who is none-the-wiser about Flex's designs on him. Flex is recovering from a heartbreaking 10-year long romance and the opportunity to be with someone as fascinating and caring as Lincoln intrigues him - even though he's not sure Lincoln swings his way. When Lincoln meets Flex's sister Peyton completely independently of his acquaintance with Flex, the self-proclaimed ladies man Lincoln falls for her hook, line, and sinker. Peyton, who is gun shy of relationships due to past failures and abuses, is less sure that embarking on a journey with Lincoln is in her immediate future. The interesting departure from the normal "boy-meets-girl" routine comes when Flex is invited to a family gather both by the hopeful Flex and the quickly reconsidering Peyton. At times humorous, blatantly romantic and full of family drama thanks to Peyton and Flex's four other sisters, this book sucked me in for a thrilling ride from page 1! It was a ride I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm going to take a second look at some of Ms. Byrd's previous novels and hope dearly that I'll see some of the characters from this book again.

Hot, Funny, and Enduring

I absolutely loved this story. The ending is wonderful. Lincoln was a true friend and boyfriend. I am a big fan of Adrienne's books. I am eagerly anticipating her next book. Adrienne Byrd is one of the best writer's around. She is in the same league as Brenda Jackson and Melanie Schuster. Keep the stories coming.

READ IT IN LESS THAN 24 HRS

First of all this book was good start to finsh Peyton was afraid to like Lincoln and he was liking her from jump street. Both of them were looking for the same things Love and mutual respect, It had a lot of twist and turns and it had me a little worried. This book makes you laugh, cry and cheer. I love the way Ms.Bryd gives you the real on the Peyton she has been burned and so it's understanding why she feels the way she does. With out giving too much away . Ms Bryd save the best for last.

She simply can't be stopped ya'll

Measure of A Man is simply a wonderful book to read that will keep you turning pages, not wanting to put the book down. I am somewhat of a newcomer when it comes to Ms. Byrd's books, but this one kept me laughing. It's a wonderful story of love and getting over betrayal. But it's simply not a book by Ms. Byrd, if she didn't have some comedy mixed up in there. I have recommened this book to friends and they have all went to get it after reading my copy of it. Can't wait for part 2 (Joey's story) Ms. Byrd.
