Worth the Wait (Worth the Risk Book 2) Kindle Edition
“Action, intrigue, love, lust, downright seriously sexy Alpha men and feisty women.”
ZAK
The only thing that can ruin us, is me.
There are things I haven’t told her, things she needs to know. But being with her is like breathing- easy, natural, effortless and necessary. Letting her in on my past is a risk, except not even I realised how bad things would get after it all came out.
ELLIE
He is, everything.
I didn’t want to fall for him. Yet, before I knew it, I already had. Now here I am in a situation I don’t know to deal with. Completely out of my element, I’m floundering and before I can find my footing a new revelation threatens not only my life but that of an innocent child too.
Praise-
“Wow! This book left me breathless. It went above and beyond my expectations.”
“The chemistry and banter between these two had me absolutely hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t want it to end.”
“The author has managed to combine romance, action and humor into a story you won’t be able to put down.”
“You know a book is good when you have to text a fellow reader in the wee hours of the morning.”
“Heartfelt and emotional read that I literally couldn’t put down.”
Worth the Wait is a sizzling standalone novel in the Alpha One Protection romantic suspense series. If you like sexy alpha men, free-spirited women, and shocking plot twists, then you’ll love JB Heller’s danger-riddled romance.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018We met Ellie, Kallie’s best friend, and Zak, who works with and for Abe in his security and protection business, in book one and got to know them a little bit. Ellie is a firecracker for sure and Zak stabilises her incredibly well. But in this book we really get to know them and you can’t help but love them both!
Oh these two lead characters are just so wonderful, I can’t say anywhere near enough about them. They are constantly showing more facets of their natures as the story progresses and you keep falling in love with both more and more. Add in extra special touches that are adorable and your heart melts. What I like the most is that the characters are very real.
This is a fast paced, easy to read story with a very solid storyline. The romance is delightful but not without its issues too. There is a sprinkling of fun humour throughout that tickles the fancy as well. But when the action picks up pace so does your heartbeat! Talk about waiting with baited breathe!
I thoroughly enjoyed Worth The Wait and look forward the next book about Alec.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018I loved this book, I've been waiting for Zak and Ellie's story and it didn't disappoint. In fact, the only disappointment for me was that it was over far too soon. J.B.Heller writes relatable characters that I feel like I could be friends with. My heart broke for the choices Zak had to make in the book and went out to Ellie for being with him every step of the way. She even managed to make me feel bad for the villain, at least for about 2 minutes until he does something vile. I've met several of these characters in other books, most notably the first book in this series, Worth The Risk and can't wait to see if some of these other Alpha One guys get their own books. I know Alec will, but I'm eager to see Michael and Will take a more active role in their own stories. If you love alpha heroes and strong women who can hold their own, both with their men and the threats they face, then you'll love Heller's books. Now, if you'll excuse me--I'm off to re-read Worth the Wait.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018Absolutely loved this story and it was worth the wait. The characters are fantastic and the storyline was gripping and written where I was sucked in from the beginning and could not stop until the end. Ellie is such a strong willed and powerful character I instantly connected with. Zak is certainly an alpha who just cannot help but want to control everything and everyone he comes in contact with. What a pair these two make and due to their tenacity and personalities can conquer anything thrown at them. My emotions were definitely all over the place in this story. What a ride and I cannot wait for more.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018Ellie is feisty, fiery and she has an energy that draws people to her. Zak prefers to observe rather than be the center of attention, but he is the one you can always count on and will protect anyone without a second thought.
We originally met them in Worth the Wait but getting to know them over the course of the book only makes you love them more. They are so good together, but will the secrets of their pasts destroy what they could have together?
The author has managed to combine romance, action and humor into a story you won’t be able to put down.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2018If you are looking for a light read that hits on all the romance stops then this is the book for you. It is very light on the angst and you know it is going to be a happy ending. It has a no-nonsense h and an alpha H. There are tricky situations and miscommunication that could have lead to the romantic demise; in fact, I would have liked to have read in more depth on those situations. This book was up and done a smidge to quick for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2018What an incredible read and I fell in love with the characters, the story and the writing style. I found the characters so easy to relate to and fall in love on this wonderful adventure. I won't lie as my heart strings were pulled on multiple times during this read and I loved every time I could feel it straight in my bones.
Truly a fabulous read
- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2018This was such a good read. Loved the chemistry between all the characters! Elle and Zak were so good together! Sexy,sweet with just right amount of heat! Love the quick wit in this book. I found myself laughing out loud one minute and tearing up the next! Great quick Sunday read!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018Holy hell this book was amazing!! I loved Zak and Ellie. They were perfect for each other and their story was so well written. This book was full of emotion, humor, action, drama, and loads of steam. A definite must read and one that I will gladly reread.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Wow ...what an emotional and beautiful story. When we knew that these two would become an item in the first book I knew it would be good. I just never saw this coming. It was an inspired storyline. Well written and kept me hooked from the first page to the last. Great job. Highly recommend this book and author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the wait is all that is beautiful, Heartwarmingly beautiful
This book was definitely WORTH THE WAIT, I loved every moment of this book and all the people that was throughout it. This book was extremely well written and it flowed really well and was easy to follow, This is definitely the quality of writing you expect from this author.
Ellie was definitely what you expected after the glimpses you got about her from worth the risk she definitely lived up to her personality, Ellie's nature stood strong through this book and she was an absolute pleasure to read.
Zak was a strong Alpha type Man who you definitely got more of an indepth look into throughout the book and was an amazing soul to read about, I wont give any of Zac away but just know he is the type of man who will touch your heart and soul.
I would definitely recommend this book and author to anyone who loves a soul touching book that you can immerse yourself in and get emmersed within all the lives of the charecters and lose yourself to them, I will definitely say it again and again how amazing this series is and all the books this author writes. Everything she writes is golden and an absolute pleasure to read. I honestly hope you love this book as much as I have. Happy Reading ♡
- Penny Ellen (book.nerd.magic)Reviewed in Australia on January 7, 2019
4.0 out of 5 stars Worth It
Worth the Wait is the second installment in the Alpha One Protection series. I loved every moment of this, there is plenty of suspense, action, angst, drama and love.
Zac and Ellie have been together for 6months now and as they get closer they have things in their pasts that they need to tell eachother before they can move forward in their relationship.
Ellie is a firey, smart-mouthed woman who is also is a little insecure when it comes to relationships, as she has been hurt in the past.
Zac is an Alpha male who protects what is his, he is loyal and willing to wait for Ellie to be ready for him.
I love the relationship between Zac and Ellie, it is full of chemistry, passion and love.
I am looking forward to the next book in the Alpha One Protection series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read!
Zac and Ellie's story is really enjoyable.
It's fast paced, full of action, and has a few twists! Add the attraction factor, humour and their definite spark and you're onto a great read!
