My Truth and Measure Book Review - No Spoilers
Plot Summary
Truth and Measure by Roslyn Sinclair is about Jules Moretti, an aspiring writer and dedicated assistant to Vivian Carlisle, the powerful and perfection-driven editor of a top fashion magazine. When Vivian’s life spirals with an unexpected pregnancy amid divorce, Jules becomes entwined beyond professional boundaries. Their worlds collide in surprising ways as they navigate intimacy, power, and the possibility of love in a high-pressure office setting.
Why I Love This Book
I love the slow burn between these two. The tension builds in a way that feels earned. I feel the shift from professional respect to deeper attachment every time they interact. I connect with Jules’s agency and wit, even when power dynamics threaten to overtake things. Their banter cracks me up—funny, sharp, and full of charge. And the emotional stakes run deep. I feel their growth and I pull for them. It’s a romance that sees you and doesn’t hide its heat.
Who Will Like This Book
If you like slow‑burn sapphic romance with workplace tension, age‑gap dynamics, and strong emotional grounding, this one will linger with you. If power imbalance makes you uneasy, know that Jules holds her ground in a way that stops it from feeling exploitative.
⚠️ Trigger warning: This book hints at power imbalance, workplace romance, and adult circumstances like divorce and pregnancy. It’s thoughtful, but I think it’s smart to check if this matches your comfort zone.

Steam Level
The chemistry here smolders rather than sizzles. Intimacy feels charged without over‑explicit scenes. It’s more about the build‑up than the payoff—but that build‑up is electric.
