About this listen
“Being with him is the very definition of getting stuck between a rock and a hard place.”
All Tristan’s ever wanted was to make a difference - and becoming a lawyer was the tool to make that happen. It’s easy for people to judge others without thinking, but Tristan’s seen too many innocents chewed up and spat out by the system to not fight for those who’ve been wronged. But this case? It’s not just affecting him professionally. His ethics say that he should stay far away from the victim’s family...but his heart says he should bring Upton close and never let him go.
“I can’t believe I trusted him.”
Upton is absolutely incensed that anyone would consider letting his cousin’s murderer out of jail. But he doesn’t have time to dwell on it - he’s got a book to write if he wants to keep food on the table for him and his son. And when his son makes a new friend who has an incredibly attractive father, Upton feels himself falling for the first time since his husband left him four years ago. There’s only one problem - Tristan is a lawyer. For the defense.
Welcome to Worthington, Texas, where the heat doesn't just rise in the summer - you'll feel it all year long in these stories of older men and their younger lovers. Every audiobook in the Worth It series can be listened to on its own, but with so many familiar characters to love, why stop with just one? This audiobook features hot single dads, an out for you romance, and two little boys who are determined to be brothers.

They say love is like an explosion. But explosions haven't been so kind to Michael Wagner. Michael's given his life in service to the military. He had a plan - structure, discipline, focus. Thirty years in the Army before retirement. It only took one IED blast to change all of that, stealing his hearing and altering the course of his life forever. Joining some small-town support group? It's not going to change that. It's not going to give him back anything that he's lost...but maybe it's worth a shot, anyway.

I don't know why nobody ever wanted me. For real, I mean. My parents died when I was eight, and I spent the next 10 years hopping between foster homes. Let's just say, they barely did me any favors. I have got nothing. No job, no place to live and I have no one to be with. Except...well...I do have DNA test results from a genealogy website. With close family matches. It’s probably a stupid idea. A total long shot, really... I’m going to go and find them.

Worth the Trouble, a story about two dads who may have never interacted with one another except for the fact they were both single dads. Upton, a stay at home, single dad who is a writer by profession His son Carter, a vibrant young boy, who loved his dad, who also enjoyed hanging out with his only best friend, Barney.
Tristan, a defense attorney, was also a single father to Barney, whose only friend, his best friend was Carter, whose dad was Tristan. Unlike Upton, Tristian was busy with an upcoming case; one in which involved an innocent man's wrongful conviction, and therefore would run late picking up Barney from school.
Since Carter and Barney had befriended one another; their friendship led to Upton and Tristan spending time with each other. Both men shared how they ended up single dads and the trials and tribulations of being a single dad. Upton took pity on Tristan and would have Barney over each day after school. When Upton learned Tristan was a defense attorney there was a temporary shift in this relationship for Upton had a distaste for attorneys, especially after his cousin's murderer was getting a second chance via an appeal. The friendship still manages to grow into more but Tristan knows this may only be short lived if Upton learns the truth.
After a physical relationship and bond begins Upton learns who Tristan is defending and this ends the relationship that was blossoming into love.
When the appeal trial arrives both men learn whether they had what it took to overcome the truth. This was a good story, but I found it fell short at times and didn't necessarily for the narrative. Nonetheless, it was a story I became engrossed in and enjoyed. It contains hot sexy visuals that leaves one's mouth watering and yearning to only be part of. It ends with four happy guys!
Audiobook ; this was my first audio book, and I found it was a positive attribute but I actually had to get the book and read the story after listening to the audio book in order to capture the complete picture. The narrator was good but I envisioned certain areas to be spoken different from how the narrator interpreted the section of the story. Again, the narrator has a voice worth of audio books but interpretation was slightly off, in my opinion. This is why I rated this four stara. I suggest everyone to get this book and get lost in the lives of Upton and Tristan's journey.

Now, their parents... Yes, they are really interesting characters, two single dads doing their best to care for their sons and get their work done. But, OMG! I spent a lot of time silently screaming to Tristan: don't initiate anything with Upton without telling to whom are you defending, don't do that, don't do it!
Oh, man! You did it! ~deep, disapproving sigh~
That said, the way in which Upton discovers the truth? Well done! I'm sorry for him, sure, but... yeah, no way it wouldn't come out.
So, yes, I truly enjoyed listening to this story. It's well written, the characters are attractive and engaging, and the narration by Nikola Muckajev is fantastic. Another great job by Peter Styles :D
