I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. (honestly, I cannot remember whether I got it from signing up for a newsletter, a giveaway, or from another author. The only thing I know is that it is in the documents section of my Kindle where all the books that aren't paid for go, but I'm planning on rectifying that and buying any book from this author that I can).
Worth the Fight is worth the read. It is a cute, swoon-worthy, friends-to-lovers novel. It is a fresh of air after some of the books that I have read because I love how even when Liam and Cass agree that they are worth the risk to be together they still take it slow. There is sex in the book yes, but the author has enough class to go into enough details so you know what is happening but it is not a freaking play by play of what each movement the characters are doing. Honestly, I prefer the books where yes they have sex, but it is more of a "I'll show you the beginning and then fast forward to the aftermath" over the "let's go over every single detail and call my v card the petal of my sex or some other creepy thing that has me questioning the sanity of the author".
So, thank you, Rachel, for not doing the latter one. It is part of what made me want to continue to read/buy your books and kept me glued to my reader. So if you do pick up a copy make sure you have all the necessary tissues, snacks, water (or the beverages of your choice) and that no one can disturb you because you are not going to want to put this book down.
Liam is so *chef's kiss* and he has now set my standard up again for men because anyone who is willing to do half the things he does is worth hanging onto. Also, it was very obvious that they were going to be a thing from the very beginning of the book even if you did not read the blurb and I was totally talking to Cass like "Oh stop moaning you two are going to be together and you are going to like it". Also, sorry hon, but if any guy treats you like that on your wedding day is not worth a second of your time, a lick of your salt, or whatever saying fits your fancy. I was so glad when Cass realized that and she started sticking to her principles of this is what people should do and they didn't do this so I should not give them any more time, which is a lot easier said than done. I love how Liam was there for her every step of the way and all the little twists like just when you think you have all the pieces another one sneaks on in.
I love how each character has a unique personality, but they all fit so well into the group and I am extremely jealous and wished that I had friends like that.
Kevin is the more reasonable adult in the group trying to get them to not fight while his significant other Sasha is all about egging them on (I feel like we would make such great friends), Aaron is the giant lovable joking teddy bear and I want to give him a great big hug, Liam is the leader and he gets people to listen, Cass never said much about her role in the group except she was the tomboy but I think she is more the glue to the group, and then there is the one who should not be named (no that is not her name but she is not worthy of having her name sully these pages and giving her more attention than she deserves) who is the spoiled princess, the slut who loves calling other people sluts to makes herself feel better and always has to be the centre of attention and I will stop before I start getting nasty (shows how much I despise her because she put all of the characters through hell and has no remorse.
I finished this book in three hours and have no regrets. If you love the friends-to-lovers trope than you will love Worth the Fight.
500 out of 5 stars.
