Worth the Risk by Jamie Beck
4.0
After a family intervention, Jackson decides to uproot himself for a couple of weeks and head out to a small town to deal with his drinking problem - something he is sure he doesn't actually have a problem with. On his way he bumps into a young woman stuck out in a thunder storm with car problems, little does he know this woman is going to change his world.
Jackson bumps into Gabby again when he arrives at the house he has rented for the next few weeks, from there they begin this push and pull of should we or shouldn't we be together?
I found the book pretty okay, reading through a good chunk before misplacing it during a house move. I was definitely gripped by the will they won't they but felt a bit meh about some of the other issues that they had.
Jackson deals with his apparent drinking problem by seeing a therapist and though he seems a bit put off by it all does try to absorb some of what is discussed. There are multiple things that he believes to have brought him to this point, his brothers disappearance for a few years, his mothers death and also his ex-girlfriends betrayal.
Gabby deals with being a single mum with the father, the loved local town cop, who has barely been involved until Jackson turns up and take an interest in Gabby.
Plus, Gabby has been dealing with a drug addicted mother who has been absent since she was a teen. Having some strong feelings already about people who're addicts, this tends to cause a lot of tension not only between Gabby and Jackson, but Gabby's father.
I did have one issue with the way he spoke in regards to the issue between himself and his ex but that may have been my only real big issue with the book.
