This book is third in the Accidentally on Purpose ( AOP) trilogy. AOP was the first, Worthy of Redemption ( WOR) the second. Now the completion, Worth the Fight (WTF) finishes the story of Emmy, Kyle and Luke.AOP was a very original "romance" novel that I liked. AOP introduced characters,story lines that weren't formulaic, in a nutshell, a complete surprise. I can honestly say all three characters were not very like able in AOP. Moving onto WOR. I hated that book and said so in my review, so I won't revisit this. WOR in a word, sucked.Now onto WTF was a revelation. The reader gets to read the book from Luke's perspective and what a perspective it was. The reader is allowed to come full circle and learn the nuances kinda left out of the first two books. Luke is not perfect, but he is pretty close. Emmy broke his heart and in doing so, changed how Luke interacted with other women and life in general. I felt for him, while not always agreeing with his actions in the aftermath of post Emmy. The reader is given the true insight of Emmy's self loathing, and somewhat justification of how her selfishness affected her life.Through it all Luke still loves Emmy and wants her. He wants a family with her, their son,etc. Reading Luke and Emmy's journey back to one another was at first difficult, but in the end heartwarming.Luke's POV lets the reader see the other side of,the Iris story and it was completely different than alluded to in WOR ; thanks goodness. Luke is an amazing character, and his love for Emmy makes her a better woman. The author makes the reader realize these two were always meant to be together. It took three books, but it sure was worth the fight to get to Luke and Emmy's  HEA.
