I’ve read several books by Traci Douglass over the last year. And I’ve really enjoyed them. So when I saw ‘Worth The Wait’ on Netgalley, I requested it immediately and got super excited when I got the ARC in my mail. Traci Douglass has a way of writing ‘very easy to read’ romance stories, and this one definitely sounded like another fun one.

In ‘Worth The Wait’ we meet Mandy Reynolds. Mandy has had it hard the last view months. Losing her mother to cancer, and not being able to get her acting career going the way she’d like. So when her mother leaves her ‘half’ a house in her home town of Heavenly Falls, she is determined to make this in something great. This story starts right when Mandy is visiting her new ‘house’. And although I get why we missed out on Mandy losing her mother etc. It took me a long time to really get into this story.

Mandy only inherits half of the house. The other half is now owned by Alex, Mandy’s ex- step brother who she always had a crush on. Somehow Mandy’s mom left the house to both of them. Something I definitely didn’t get. I mean, Mandy’s mom rarely had any contact with Alex anymore.. So the reason that is given for leaving him the house just felt off to me.

Although I liked Mandy and Alex, and I liked their connection, I just didn’t really feel their chemistry all that much. There’s just so much going on with both Mandy and Alex, that I just couldn’t really seem to focus on their romance. And even in the end of this book, I still had so many unanswered questions.

The setting of the book in Heavenly Falls was something I really liked. I love small town stories. And this town definitely seemed charming.

Overall I enjoyed this book, but didn’t really love it. There was just to much going on that distracted me from Mandy and Alex.
