Please read the trigger warnings listed. The author has a list at the beginning of the book which I absolutely love her for providing.
The man Marisa loves with turns out to be a manipulative compulsive liar who’s also married with kids. After a rough childhood, Asher is scared of turning out like either of his parents. It was supposed to be one night in Vegas. When one of them falls first and puts them in close proximity to each other, could it be more than just sex between them. How do you allow yourself to fall in love when you don’t feel worthy of it? How do wade through the images of your parents toxic love to realize that that you’re aren’t them and you are capable of giving/receiving real love?
A Worthy Love is the book I didn’t know I needed. I relate to Marisa so much. I have been in situations that made me think I didn’t deserve real true love. While I haven’t found my Asher the way that he spoke life into Marisa was like he was talking to me. Marisa had difficult decisions to make. Her going through the process of making said decisions and her feelings afterwards helped me heal something within myself that I though I had dealt with. While reading Marisa’s story, I realized that I hadn’t dealt with it at all and had just pushed it back in my brain to not think about it. I cried with Asher because I feel like so many adults can relate to him. So many people deal with trauma in their childhood from their parents and they live their lives in fear of turning out just like them. You are able to change that narrative just like Asher did. This book helped me in ways beyond words and I will forever be grateful for the author writing it.

I have read all of the books by AE Valdez. I have so much love for this group of friends between Harlow and Acyn. Marisa Banks is trying to recover from an embarrassing breakup with her ex. She finds support in the most unlikely of her friends. She gets reminded that no matter how many mistakes she makes, she deserves love.
There are so many things that I love about Asher and Marisa. I couldn't tell which of the two was more stubborn! I was laughing and enjoying their banter and chemistry. The love these two give each other is inspiring and noteworthy.
If you appreciate romance and good vibes this book is for you. This book had so many affirmations and so much food for thought. I'm so glad the author let me read it. I can say nothing bad about this book. The characters have their own businesses while striving for spiritual and mental growth. This is literal therapy
