Worth Every Penny is a billionaire romance that adds a little mystery and trouble to the mix and I was there for it.
Rae Ryder's debut has you caught from the first page and you're left at the final sentence wishing book two was resting at your side. The characters are well thought out, they bring depth to the storyline and I loved that it was set in the UK. Having areas that we know in books just helps bring them to life, and in this particular genre of romance, there is a distinct shortage of English characters - if they can be the villain, why can't they also be the hero?
Well, Nico is a bit of both but don't we all enjoy the little bit of protecting someone with all you have?
The chemistry between the two main characters, Nico and Kate is sublime and the tension palpable. They have a background that's explained so well that it doesn't overwhelm and it's also one that's believable. I loved them, especially Kate who is fierce and loyal to a fault - she's far from a pushover and again? That's always good to see in romance novels, I'm not one for the weak little woman shtick.
Not only do we have Nico and Kate, but there are excellent background characters to have their storyline that doesn't take anything away from the duo but has the reader captivated. I wanted to know more because Ryder has ensured the reader feels as though they're in this story with the characters and I loved it.
If you're a fan of romance, with a male lead whose world is turned on its head and a beautiful female who is strong and vivacious? Worth Every Penny is for you.
