I have been reading a lot of sweet romances this year that I have really liked. For What It's Worth falls into this same category. The biggest compliment I can give this book, is that I stayed up past 2:30 in the morning reading it because I could not put it down. It seemed to be touch and go for the relationship between Abby and Dane throughout most of the book. Another unusual thing about this book, is that I equally liked both the main characters. In many romance books it's a pretty predictable call about whose fault it is why the couple is not getting together. I didn't feel this way reading this book. It was honestly a situation that was bigger than both of them and something unexpected. I'm not going to go into the details because I want you to experience first hand what they are up against.

The recipes at the beginning of each chapter were great. All of the recipes were woven into that particular chapter. I think I was hungry the entire time reading this book. The whole storyline of Abby and her growing Wedding Cake business was fun to read about. Especially with the creative way that Abby decided to set the pricing for her cakes. Author Karey White has written such a delightful love story! The side characters are also just as interesting and contribute a lot to the main story.

The life lesson that Abby learns at the end of the story is one we all should remember, what is worth the most in our own lives? There are times we all may need to shift priorities around to what we value the most. This book is a winner for me and sweet in so many ways.
