A Worthy Love (Rise & Fall Series)

This was my favorite book of the series. I love the realistic love story as well as the realistic trauma the characters endured. Many times romance stories have picture perfect characters but it was refreshing seeing them have real moments.

A Worthy Love” by A.E. Valdez is a poignant exploration of love and self-acceptance. The story follows two characters who struggle with their worthiness of love, highlighting how healing oneself can lead to genuine connection. The “slow burn” of their relationship feels authentic and relatable, showcasing the challenges of rebuilding trust after past hurt. Valdez skillfully balances intimacy and passion, creating moments that enhance the emotional depth without overshadowing the narrative. This novel is a must-read for anyone who has doubted their worthiness of love. It beautifully illustrates that we all deserve love; we just need to find the right person. Highly recommended!

The Rise and Fall Series was great! A Worthy Love is chef’s kiss out of the four books!!

"Healing" is the first word to come to mind after finishing this. In so many ways. I don't even have the words. I read this on kindle, but I have to buy the physical book AND gift someone a copy. This one is going right on the bookshelf of my heart. A.E. Valdez... I've fallen in love with her books. The biggest reason is that each book I've read has ended with no unanswered questions. The story fully wraps up while still leaving room for more. That's how you do it!!! Although this book was a part of a series, it could stand alone. That's another thing I loved. Each book is the Rise & Fall series could be read without having having read the others. I definitely recommend reading the series in order, though!
