Cheri reviewed Worth the Wait by Karelia Stetz-Waters
Review of 'Worth the Wait' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
4.5 rounded up
Apparently, I needed a second chance for this second chance romance. I received it as an ARC back in 2018 but couldn't connect to the characters and DNFd it. I picked it up again a couple days ago and got sucked in and ended up loving it. It's all about the mood, people!
I was coming off of the emotional ride of [b:Satisfaction Guaranteed|55648824|Satisfaction Guaranteed|Karelia Stetz-Waters|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1607976796l/55648824.SX50.jpg|73631896] - which I loved - and must have been in the right place mentally to fall in love with two more Stetz-Waters characters. Reading those books back-to-back showed me a lot of similarities in theme but it certainly didn't take away from the experience. These were two different women in a different situation.

Karelia Stetz-Waters might just be my favorite author at the moment. (I'm about to jump into [b:Behind the Scenes|61030710|Behind the Scenes|Karelia Stetz-Waters|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1669117630l/61030710.SY75.jpg|96174975] next. Yes, I'm binging this author. Also working on my old ARCs...) She has a wonderful writing voice and style. She's made me laugh and cry and hope right along with her characters. I will work on her back catalogue that I didn't get as ARCs too. And wait for new books.
A hearty thank you to Mrs. Stetz-Waters for reaching out waaaay back when to see if I'd be interested in reading an advanced copy through NetGalley.
