Publisher's Summary

Finally ready to dip his toe into a lifestyle he's only been a bystander to, Callum Jardine convinces himself long-distance is the safest bet, and he activates an online dating profile. Almost immediately, he receives a message from DaddyJM, a handsome, older man who lives across the country and offers Callum far more than he ever expected.

Jack Martin has no intention of getting involved with anyone seriously, let alone with someone who lives so far away. It's been so long since he had someone worth taking care of though, and Callum triggers all of his Daddy inclinations. Jack is smitten from the start, eager and willing to give Callum everything he wants and more...except proximity.

After an unplanned hospitalization, Jack is forced to confront his fears about commitment and finds himself 3,000 miles from home with a shocked and stunned Callum finally in his arms. With Callum's overwhelming eagerness and Jack's fears unwilling to abate, navigating togetherness proves to be more work than they bargained for.

Contains mature themes.

Internet chat for audio sucks

Oh my god. The internet chat back and forth with their entire screen names read out nearly killed me! The screen names daddyjm and cj1992 are ingrained in my brain, having to hear it repeatedly before every sentence completely ruined the story. Not sure I am going to be able to get through it as it is the most annoying thing ever

Steamy daddy / boy, age-gap romance!

A bartender at Rapture in LA, Callum is frustrated with the online relationship he has developed with Jack, who lives in NY. While spending time together online has been fulfilling socially and sexually for both of them, Callum wishes he could actually meet Jack in person. Jack is a daddy who wants to take care of Callum but he doesn’t think he can just leave his life in NY until a health scare has him reevaluating. Maybe it was the extra emphasis on care-taking vs. BDSM, but I enjoyed Worth The Wait a lot more than Worth The Risk. Although I feel there are still too many sex scenes, there’s more plot, more character development, a nice age-gap dynamic, and I could appreciate the interconnectedness of the stories in this series more. One of my favourite m/m narrators (under the pseudonym ZA Martin) narrates the audiobook and does his always excellent job (the whole series is currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue)!
