Publisher's summary

Cover girl Cat St. James's picture-perfect life is anything but flawless. Luckily, she's a master of hiding the truth from the camera. Relying on that skill, she conceals her latest secret from her family while attending her brother's wedding. Her only trouble now is Hank Mitchell - the soft-spoken carpenter she'd once brushed aside. Seeing him at the reception underscores her private heartache and ignites unwelcome longing, which she promptly drowns in champagne.

Hank is no stranger to sacrifice, having set aside his own ambitions to take care of his family. One thing he won't forsake is his pride, which Cat already wounded once. But when the maddening beauty's reckless behavior forces him to rush to her rescue, he sets in motion a series of events that leads Cat to make a business proposal granting him his dream job.

When Cat and Hank mix business with pleasure, promises and secrets unravel, and each must decide if and what they'll surrender for love.

This book was good and very enjoyable!

The narrations by Kate Rudd where great I love her job and her voices are amazing, she really brought to life Cat and Hank and all the secondary characters.. she made the story more enjoyable.

...

Cat, was a very famous model, she had everything she ever wanted, at least is what she thought, life and circumstances put her in a very bad situation, a past relationship that left her scared and afraid in someway.. until someone got into her life that made her doubts disappear and hope started to grow in her heart again.

Hank had a very difficult life, he had to take care of his family especially his mother, his work was everything. he didn't have time for relationships or even to date.. everything consumed his life and mind but soon something will happen that he will have to refocus his priorities and decide if he wants to take charge of his personal life again..

so many things happened for these two to finally lower their walls and start to love again.. Hanks has so many issues and Cat has a secret that she is not so entirely sure she wants to share.. her life has changed so much after finding out some news and now she has to decide if she is willing to let Hank In or keep walking her life alone..

in Worth the trouble we get to see other characters that we met before David and Vivi also we get to learn more about Jackson story and many other great characters that made this story more enjoyable..

great story and great characters.. looking forward to meet Jackson on Worth the Risk..

Worth The Trouble

This is the second in the series and could be read as a standalone without much of a problem. Cat is coming to the end of her cover girl career and she needs something to focus on, especially since now she is dealing with some health issues. Hank Mitchell has a thing for Cat and works for Jackson, Cat's brother, and when he agrees to build a storage system for Cat she comes up with a business plan for the two of them. Will adding love and business be too much or will all the issues of family and life come between them?

Wonderfully written

ABSOLUTELY captivating and creative writing that draws you in and keeps you entertained for hours and the characters are realistic and diverse. I highly recommended this novel, wonderfully written and narrated. It touches base on real problems in individuals and solutions that works. Great read, Of course, I am very partial to carpenters anyways. Hubby was one when we first met and I was in modelling. 25yrs later still going strong.
