I read it slowly because I didn’t want it to end. Dray and Vann’s emotions leapt off the page and settled in my heart and my stomach…and in my tear ducts, as evidenced by my tweets below 😀Īnd it did kill me, in the best possible way. Yes, there are secondary plots, but they never steal focus from the romance. It’s a pretty slow story, focused on their relationship, and those are the kinds of stories I love the most. I was hooked from the first page, and Dray and Vann’s story never let me go. And lately I have been more in the mood for lengthy books, so I thought “Why the hell not?” Until last week, when I scrolled my Kindle app on my e-reader and found it. 425!! So I put off reading it because I wasn’t in a mood for such a long story…and I forgot about it. But as you all know by now, I’m a short story lover, and A Worthy Man is 425 pages long. The fifth book, on the other hand, did speak to me, so I bought it when it was released back in 2017. All three books were five-star reads for me, but when the fourth book was released, the blurb didn’t speak to me, and neither did the reviews. And their chance at forever.Ī Worthy Man is book five in The Men of Halfway House series by Jaime Reese, and I’ve read books 1-3 (pictured above) before. Only then will he realize his own value and feel worthy enough to finally have Drayton’s heart. Vann needs to tap into his fighting spirit’s reservoir of strength and hope life doesn’t punish him for taking a chance.


Drayton never lost hope they would once again reunite and pick up where they left off, but Vann’s stubborn nature and repeated encounters with a heartbreaking world prove to be a challenge. Yet, he’d surrender it all-again-for the only man who’s still ever-present in his heart.Īfter a decade and entirely too much distance between them, Vann is suddenly released back into a world that has been nothing but cruel. He is now a self-made man and developer of one of the most sought after electric exotic automobiles in the world with a fortune greater than that of his birthright. He accepts his fate, a sacrifice for the only man he ever loved and the one person who saw beyond his rough edges.ĭrayton grew up with a trust fund and pre-planned future, but an unexpected encounter one night forces him to abandon everything and start from scratch. Vannguard Shaw has spent the last ten years serving a life sentence and adjusting to the ache of solitude. Or at least, it now has another book sharing first place as the most romantic book I’ve ever read. Full stop.”īut maybe Galaxies and Oceans has been overtaken by this book. Walker, and in my review of it, I wrote: “Galaxies and Oceans is maybe the most romantic book I ever read. Last year, I read Galaxies and Oceans by N.R. Last week, I read the most breathtakingly romantic book, and I just have to share it with you.
