Worth His Salt

Worth It, Book 2

By: Peter Styles

Narrated by: Nikola Muckajev

"I’m doing just fine on my own. Love is for the weak."

When Grayson Barker lost his leg during his last deployment with the Marines, he might as well have lost his life. He’s gone aimless and bitter, and even though he knows his friends and family are just trying to help, he’d much prefer it if everyone just left him alone to rot. Having PT isn’t going to help him get his life back - even if his therapist does funny things to his libido.

"I keep it casual. Not because I don’t love anyone, but because I do. And those you love always hurt you the most."

Dylan Wexler doesn’t work with vets. He’d spent too long as a child dealing with his father’s PTSD that spiraled into abuse, and while he might be mended physically, the scars his father left behind still cut deeply every day. But having friends means making sacrifices, and when he’s talked into helping Grayson learn to walk with his prosthetic leg, he’s determined to his best work. Even if the man drives him to distraction.

Love Worth Never Letting Go

Once I started this story I couldn't stop listening to it. Greyson, a Marine needs to learn how to use his prosthetic leg. Dylan, a physical therapist came to help him.

The ride was rocky with Grayson needing mental therapy and Dylan trying to remain professional even though his feelings keep growing.

This is an emotionally rich story with strong characters and an uplifting ending . . .actually a beginning.

Sensitive, realistic depiction of war after-effect

This is wonderful, sweet love story that includes the after-effects of military service and injury, the conflict of a therapist getting a little too involved with his client's care, and the concern and care of family and friends. The depiction of Grayson's actions and resistance post-injury felt realistic and genuine. Having family members who served in the Gulf Wars, I have experienced the stubborn resistance to seeking help and the reticence to talk or share one's feelings about that time. I liked that Dillon was strong enough to do what was best for Grayson once he realized he was doing as much harm as good, and I loved the way Grayson was spurred to do something to retain the man he loved. Beautiful all around.

The narration was good. I have to be honest that I missed the narrator from the first book in the series just because I liked his voice and the accents he gave some characters. That said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Mr. Muckajev's narration. His voice was clear and strong, and his pace and delivery were just right for me.

I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request. This is my honest, voluntary review.

YOU CAN ONLY HEAL IF YOU ASPIRE FOR IT

Another riveting tale of psychological stress and denial. Grayson, a war vet amputee, has to learn to live with his disability and a leg that aches whenever he tries to wear his prosthesis. Enter Dylan, a physical therapist, who falls for Grayson, but has his own baggage to carry. They both find a way to heal and be together for an HEA.

Another wonderful story!!

Loved Grayson & Dylan's story!! Grayson's stubbornness to accept help and Dylan pushing him with physical therapy and making Grayson realize he needs help with PTSD.

Enlightenment

Was nice to get to know some of the issues our military have to go through just to try to have a life.
