A Worthy Love by A.E. Valdez

SYNOPSIS
Asher and Marisa run in the same friend group and went to Vegas to celebrate their friend’s bachelor and bachelorette party. At some point, Asher and Marisa drunkenly sneak off get married and have sex. They get it annulled quickly as planned after, but Marisa is pissed at him for telling her friends she was with him when they texted worried. They barely speak for months until Asher’s architecture job sends him to Portland, where Marisa lives for a contract.
What could possibly happen?
MY RECAP AND REVIEW
This is a standalone romance book in a series.
Asher and Marisa’s love hate relationship was entertaining to read. They talk a lot of shit and tease each other all the time, but as time goes on it’s clear they have a connection.
Asher has a lot of confidence, borderline cocky. He’s straight to the point and unapologetic. Marisa is a wildcard and a free spirit, guided by her emotions and feelings in the moment and relatively shameless, for the most part.
I loved the first half of this book, which had a more playful feel. A trope happens I didn’t initially like it for this story. In hindsight, I get why it’s a part of it, and the events developed the characters more and made the relationship deeper.
The second half has a slightly different tone and gets to be a little cheesy and repetitive. A part of me feels like this story went on for too long and the other part appreciates that we got a complete story that tied up each plot point with no unanswered questions.
And REESE! Even fictional men have the type of audacity and self centeredness that I aspire to gain a fraction of.
I love how the title ties in to one of the major themes of the books. Check your triggers because there are heavy topics discussed.
OVERALL
Overall, I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. It ran a little long, but the characters were fully fleshed out and they were perfect for each other. It’s made clear they would move heaven and earth for the other and I was rooting for them. As always, I loved the banter and their attraction and chemistry was off the charts. I can’t wait to read through this series.
