A young girl who swears she won’t give in to teen-age romance. A transfer student who is overly critical of his new home away from home. When the principal asks her to show him around, will his cute accent win out over his snide remarks?

Mabel Adams–who really only ever goes by her nickname, Maby–is one of the popular girls at Oak Brook Academy boarding school. She’s always on top of everything when it comes to new students and she jumps at the chance to show the new kid around. Maybe the fact that he’s from overseas will make him more interesting than the immature guys she’s used to hanging around with.

Oliver Clarke doesn’t hate being the new kid at school, but it does seem lacking in many ways from what he’s used to back home in England. Plus who knows if the kids here will ever get his British sense of humor. He’s heard stories about the cultural differences between them.

When Maby gets assigned to show Oliver around campus, she’s expecting interesting conversation and a maturity level that’s more like that of the older college guys she dreams of dating one day. Unlike most of her friends, Maby is not into high school dating. She is not into being distracted from her studies and is much too smart for that. But Oliver’s accent catches her off guard from the moment he opens his mouth to tell one of his snarky jokes. His accent just might be too much for her to resist.

Worth the Wait is the fourth standalone book in the Oak Brook Academy teen sweet romance series. If you like stories about teenagers at boarding school, flirtatious mismatches and high school outsiders, then you’ll love Jillian Adams’ clean story of love and romance for teens.
