Worth Keeping is the third book of Susan Mac Nicols' that I have read and reviewed. I keep thinking she can't keep up this level of writing and characters. Not with the amount of emotion and trauma that her characters live through. Dear god the angst.She can people. She can.Nick has survived a truly horrific past thanks to the love and support of his adoptive father but is by no means free of it. He still has has plenty of dark moments and it is during one these that he comes across another man having his own.Owen reached a point where he just wanted the pain to stop when he is saved by a mysterious stranger that awakens his curiosity and then his compassion. Not to mention he just finds the guy freaking hot.The relationship between the two is not easy. Nick has demons that cause him lash out viciously at Owen and while he may be understanding Owen is not a doormat. There is a strong connection between the two men that you feel the moment they meet so you understand why neither one can let go of the other. The best part is that while they do hurt each other they also push each other, to do better, to be stronger and most of all, to reach for each other.Susan has written what I found to be a truly wonderful story about two damaged men that fit together in a way that gives them a relationship that can be everything they never dared to dream of..
