About this listen
All Katie ever wanted was a baby. Be careful what you wish for.
Katie Lipton is the town beauty, but that never got her what she wanted most - a baby. And, oh yeah, a faithful husband would have been nice, too. Reeling from her husband's cheating and desertion, Katie embarks on a one-night fling with professional golfer Dario Luna. Never could she have imagined that one night with Dario would give her something fifteen years of marriage couldn't - morning sickness.
Dario was raised without a father, and he has no intention of the same fate befalling his child. He's still not sure about Katie, though. Did she trick him? Lie to him? But his feelings for her, and this crazy attraction he feels, soon has him putting his doubts aside to spend more time with her. He tells himself it's for the sake of the baby. Yeah. Right.
Agreeing to try to work out some sort of relationship before the baby is due, Katie travels with Dario to his golf tournaments, walking the course with him by day...and giving in to their attraction by night. But will it be enough?
Includes bonus sneak peek material.
*Warning* Worth The Drive has 3-4 somewhat graphic sex scenes and the F-bomb is detonated semi-frequently. If it were a movie, it'd be rated a hard R.

Trevor Merriam doesn’t like being ordered around by his older brother, much less to a sleepy Irish village to complete a business deal for their family company. Worse: the owner of the land he needs to buy doesn’t want him there. In fact, Becca O’Neill loathes him so much that she won’t even serve him the award-winning scones her famed Wild Irish Rose Bed and Breakfast is known for. Even worse than that (and not getting scones is bad in Trevor’s book): Becca has an ornery cat, a mischievous Irish setter, and a famous ghost all intent on making sure he fails.

Unplanned Pregnancy / Love Triangle
The story and writing pulled me in and I didn’t want to stop listening. So overall, a very good book. However, the continuous comparisons and reminders of the ex-husband and ultimate love triangle is not a preferred trope for me. Also, Dario is too guarded about his feelings for Katie and she has to take the lead in most instances to move the relationship forward. It would have been better if that aspect was more balanced. It made Dario look weak. That said, I definitely enjoyed the book and plan to read the next book in the series. The inclusion of professional golf is very well researched and added to the story. An epilogue would have been nice.

Solid for stars
I really enjoyed the first book or most of it, but this book was so much better. I wanted Katie to get her happily ever after because she so deserves it. And wow was this ever drama filled and quirky and just an all-around good book. Can't wait to see what the next book holds.
