Worth a Shot

Worth It, Book 5

De: Peter Styles

Narrado por: Nikola Muckajev

“Look, I’m not asking you to believe me blindly. Just…give it shot. Just check out the evidence.”

This is the big break that Nico has been waiting for - a new piece of evidence has come to light that will exonerate his uncle, who has been in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. Only no one will take him seriously - not even the commanding, dominant Deputy Case.

"We have a system, and I have to trust in it. I did my job three years ago…but you’re right. I don’t want an innocent man in prison on my conscience."

Landon Case is up for a promotion. If he makes Detective, he’s that much closer to the most coveted goal of all - being elected Sheriff. He doesn’t have time to make waves, chasing down leads on a case that’s been closed for years. But something about Nico’s stubborn nature makes Landon want to support him…and also see how beautiful he is when he submits.

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 the dogged determination of familial love, the elation of solving a years-old crime, and two men who can’t help but come to odds when they think that they are always in the right.

If you are going to get plugged, enjoy it.

Nico wants to be a lawyer to save his uncle that raised him as a father. But his uncle is in jail as a falsely convicted murderer. The arresting officer on the case is Case, Landon Case. Nico wants his uncle released back into his life and will do anything to keep Case on the case.

As the two search for and follow up on clues, holes in the case keep appearing. Vital evidence was ignored. Testimony from witnesses was not taken. Nico tries to get Case interested, but not just in the case. Tracking down witnesses involves shared hotel rooms and bed. Interviewing witnesses at a sex club implants more ideas as lust longs for satisfaction and love links the case in their hearts.

But before the shot rings out, Nico is stupid, scaring Case. Case is already regretting denying Nico his promise to help with the case when he realizes his promise to protect and to serve.

Too bad Noah and Quinn did not find each other yet. Maybe next in the series of events.

A great story

I really liked the story-line, the way Nico and Landon dig deeper and deeper to find the truth about the murder that put Nico's uncle on prison.

I understand Nico's desperation to prove Oliver's innocence and Landon's reservations about going against his boss in something that, after all, could be simply wishful thinking.

I must confess that I glossed over the sex scenes because I don't like the Dom/Sub dynamic nor BDSM, but for those who enjoy them, here they are :P

The narration by Nikola Muckajev was very good.

Loved it

Oh my goodness I really enjoyed listening to this wonderful book. I had already read but but listening to give the characters more life. It was like I was a part of their world and I enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to be able to hear this great story as well as read it.

pretty good

I'm definitely a fan of his book it was very riveting may need a little bit more of a steaming interest towards that there wasn't a whole lot of romance more direction towards the story which isn't necessarily A Bad Thing but when you look for a book of the romance type you also want the steamy parts

Complex characters and emotions

I loved the characters in this story! They were well-developed, complex people, both following their convictions. I loved Nico's loyalty to family and his perseverance in seeking the truth and his uncle's freedom, and I loved that Landon was willing to pursue the truth, even at the potential risk to his career, to prevent a miscarriage of justice. I loved Landon's protective nature even when he stated time and again what a nuisance he considered Nico. Beyond a great story, there is some really hot sex, too.

The narration was great with distinguishable voices and great delivery of attitude and emotions. Great story and great writing.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this honest review.
