Worth the Wait and Worth the Trouble were so enjoyable that I was thrilled to get my hands on the last in the series. There's so much going on here - love, forgiveness, addiction, and self-discovery. It's just as much women's fiction as it is romance and is all the better for it.

Gabby may have made a few mistakes but becoming a mom at a very young age has her growing up in a hurry. Unfortunately not everyone sees her that way and she's struggling a little with that. Meeting Jackson, even knowing that he's only in town for a short period of time, has her ready to take something for herself. Ready to develop a relationship with someone who sees the real her and can appreciate the maturity she's developed.

Jackson may have his troubles, some that he's not ready to address just yet, but that doesn't stop him from being a fantastic guy. He's caring and willing to help, stepping in where he's needed. He sees Gabby for who she is and appreciates her upbeat attitude and love for her family. He also is happy to find someone who's got a strong, giving spirit and won't let him down. He's battling a lot with his family and needs that support but he also needs to face up to his problems before he can commit to a healthy relationship. It's hard but he's strong enough to get it done.

I like how Beck wrapped everything up for all the St. James siblings (although this story could easily stand on its own, it's enjoyed even more with having the background from the other stories). I also like how she gave Jackson a fitting story for the big-hearted, but troubled, man. He needs someone like Gabby, someone to support him and push him, someone not afraid to lay it on the line but also as big-hearted as he is. It's not easy, but they finally get everything figured out and learn how to address their issues.

I've really enjoyed this series and I'm very sad to see it end ... but Beck definitely gave me everything I could want and I'm looking forward to seeing what she has to bring with her next one.
