Laura Kaye knows how to write romance and you can tell by how satisfied you feel with her novellas. It takes talent to write a shorter story without something missing and Worth Fighting For doesn’t lack anything! It has an adorable couple, a sexy first encounter and a slow burn romance full of emotions.
Tara and Jesse are veterans and they try to adjust to their new lives as civilians. After a fun and hot night, they both know that there is something there, but soon they realize how difficult is to mix business with pleasure.
Tara is a strong woman who is fighting every day with her vulnerabilities. I love her will to overcome her struggles and it is admirable seeing finding her strength and confidence.
Jesse might not have physical scars but he carries some guilt from his past. He is so sweet to Tara and he treats her like a gentleman. He knows when to push and when to retreat. He is the perfect man who respects and understands his partner.
Their relationship is perfectly balanced. There is sweetness although they burn the sheets. There is fiery chemistry between them and although they resist each other, their want is so obvious. I love most of all their maturity and owning their mistakes. They are open with their feelings even when they mess up. I love when there is no drama for the sake of it.
Although, it’s a quick story, their progression as a couple is so believable. It isn’t rushed or missing the obvious steps of a relationship.
This story is about healing, forgiveness and love! I cannot wait for the next one in the series as the following couple sets some serious sparks!
