4.5 star review by Jen SkewesI am a huge fan of this series and have always loved Luke so of course I could not wait to get my hands on this books and see his side of the story.  This book captures some of the important moments from Accidentally on Purpose but it is so much more than that.  This is truly Luke's book.  We see how he dealt with the situation with Emmy and Lucas.  We see the emotions that he went through as well as the pain and heartache of it all.  We see how much he hated and loved Emmy all at the same time.I love Luke and even after reading his side of the story I still love him, but will say that I was a little upset and  disappointed with his actions in the beginning.  Maybe it's be ause I loved him so much and put him on this pedestal but t didn't seem like the Luke we all fell in love with.  and honestly I think that he tried so hard to hate Emmy and so hard to be mad at her that his emotions got the best of him and caused him to be a complete jerk to her.  And do n't get me wrong, what Emmy did to Luke was wrong on all accounts so I totally understand what he was feeling.  She hurt him in a way that left him completely broken and shattered.  And he has tried to move one since then, but then she shows up with his kid that he had no idea he had.  So while I wasn't a fan of his actions, I tried very hard to understand them.  And believe me there were moments where I just wanted to scream at him: Why?!?!  And moments where I had knots in my stomach.Luke finally wakes up and realizes what a complete ass he has been to Emmy and knows that no matter what she did to him, she didn't deserve the harsh treatment and he knew he needed to try to make it work, even if it was just as friends.  And this is where we start to see the Luke that we all fell in love with again.  Luke is by no means perfect but you see how much he still loves Emmy, how much she can still turn him on and that just maybe he wants to be more than friends.  The problem is getting past the hurt and admitting it to himself.I loved this story.  I loved getting inside Luke's head and seeing the struggles that he went through.  Their relationship was anything but perfect and they both knew and understood that.  But Luke realizes how much he needs and wants Emmy in his life and will do everything he can to make sure she stays in it.  What I loved was seeing that moment from Worthy of Redemption (and those of you who have read it know exactly what I am talking about) from Luke's POV.  I loved seeing his reaction and it gave me some level of comfort knowing that it happened the way it did.Luke and Emmy's journey is one that is filled with many emotions;  anger, frustration, sadness, and joy.  They have both hurt each other in different ways but beneath all of the pain and hurt, is the love that they have always had for each other.  When their relationship ended it left them both broken for different reasons and we see just how broken they both were.  We see how much pain Emmy caused Luke, how angry and bitter he was towards her.  And we also see just how broken Emmy was and how much of herself she lost .I think L.D. Davis did a fantastic job capturing the true heartache that these characters went through.  As the reader you went through it all with them.  It was sad to see Emmy in the beginning thinking that she deserved the way Luke was treating her.  It was upsetting seeing Luke at in a way that didn't seem like the true Luke.  My heart broke for the two of them many times.  But together they worked through their emotions, through the pain and the hurt that they caused each other and found the happiness they both deserved.Worth the Fight is definitely a must read.  Luke is still amazing, and lovable and sexy as he was in Accidentally on Purpose, despite his actions in the beginning.  And to be honest I honestly understood why he acted the way he did.  There were probably moments in AOP where I felt exactly as Luke did towards Emmy.  But moving past all that, Emmy and Luke's road to happiness definitely was not all roses and unicorns.  It was a rough, emotional, heart breaking ride but one that was totally worth it in the end.  Together they fought through the pain and heartache and found happiness. And together they were perfect.  Amazing job
