This was the perfect slow-burn friends to lovers read for a rainy day like this.

V and J. R. touched my heart deeply. Their love story wasn’t just another one of two friends finding out they had feelings for each other, it was a story of two people that have always belonged together, but had to wait and grow in different ways until they realized they were meant for each other. That’s probably one of the things I loved the most about them as a couple, they simply fit with one another. They were the same people they had always been, but wiser and more matured. They went through a lot in the years they didn’t see each other, and even though they had grown as a person, they also had the dame familiarity and comfort around the other.

I feel such a bond with V, she represents every woman that has bravely re-born from the ashes of an abusive relationship. I loved her resilience and strength, she had so many insecurities and fears but she never let those defined her or kill her essence. My heart broke for her as I learned her story but also made me root for her happy ending. She really deserved it.

J.R. was the sweetest, most patient and understanding hero. I loved how respectful and supportive he was, even before he knew what happened to her. He acknowledged her and appreciated everything about her, the way he reassured her over and over was so heartwarming and swoony, it made my heart flutter because it was exactly what she needed at the moment.

So many typos, no emotion. Very “she did this and then this.”

Friends to Lovers + traveling Europe + hot sex? YES PLEASE.

I can hardly remember a book when I loved the two lead characters as quickly as I fell in love with V and J.R. From the moment we meet each of them, in the first chapters of WORTH THE WAIT, they are each completely likable and even better as a pair.

Seeing these two friends go from childhood friends to so much more, all while traveling Europe, was crazy fun!

And the way their history and current story unfolded bit by bit kept me hooked for the first half of the book. I took a star off of my rating because this book gets quite slow right at the half way point and takes a while to pick up again. But the hot sex along the way definitely helps!

The relationship between these characters is so insanely sweet! V is a smart, strong female trying to reclaim herself and J.R. is the ultimate cinnamon roll hero!

WORTH THE WAIT is a heart-melting (and panty-melting) read you should definitely add to your TBR!

RATING:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
STEAM LEVEL: Rated NC-17
TRIGGERS: physically and emotionally abusive ex
FEELS-O-METER: 3/5: So many feels you might tear up a bit.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Pure and sweet

If you’re looking for a good old fashioned sweet romance to give you are the feels and make you fantasize for the fairytale, this is for you. I’d caution you not to read if you’re not in the mood for sappy and almost to good to be true happy endings.
