Worthy Of Love
Isaak is a loving Dad whose only reason for living his his wonderful little girl Ivy. He will do whatever he can to protect her from her wicked mother, Jade, who he divorced because of her drug habit, stealing from him and putting Ivy’s life in jeopardy. As a result he was awarded full custody, and Jade was only allowed supervised visits with a member of Social Services as she had already tried kidnapping Ivy [not because she loves her but to crucify Isaak]. Jared, consequently, only loves Ivy and trusts no one else but his best friend, Connor, who has known him for years and knows what he’s been though. Unfortunately, Jared has a trust and temper issue which means that he has gone through umpteen nannies for Ivy and he’s getting desperate. The latest nanny is called Kira. She is a feisty young woman who loves working with children despite her boyfriend’s insistence that she give it up and marry him but she refuses to marry him, just yet, but can’t explain why. Her first impression of Issac is rather alarming as he’s shouting down the phone threatening someone. When she knocks on the door he drags her in, isn’t polite and basically orders her not to let Ivy’s mum, Jade, in or anywhere near Ivy but won’t say why as he’s late for the office where he is a multi billionaire CEO. Despite being disturbed by his behaviour she finds Ivy and is charmed by her and they chat. Jade enters and is the epitome of charm to Kira and Ivy! Kira wonders why on earth Isaak would say such dreadful things about Jade when he is the only one who’s been unpleasant. Will Jade take Ivy? Will Kira let Isaak know that his ex-wife is there with Ivy? Aria Ford has created such wonderful characters in Ivy who is the sweetest of little girls, Kira who is passionate, caring, loving and forgiving, Jade who is a manipulative and dangerous woman, Connor who is a great friend to Isaak and Isaak who has been damaged by Jade’s behaviour and who really hates being the monster that he is through his lack of trust in humanity. The storyline is great and quite believable [apart from the time frame which takes place over a matter of days]. I enjoyed this story and give it five stars as it is so well written. The complexities and characterisation with the short novel are excellent as I can almost ‘see’ who they are. I would have liked an epilogue to see how they were doing in a year and 5 years time to see how they were doing. The attraction between Isaak and Kira is powerful and the air is charged when they are together and the sexual scenes between them are beautifully written and you will need to switch your fans to maximum as you’re reading those! A really good plot and characters that made me sit up and I so wanted Jade to get her comeuppance. Get this book and enjoy!
