Stay with Me A Novel Wait for You Saga J Lynn 9780062294807 Books

I just finished reading Stay with Me and I admit to feeling sad and so disappointed and I'm trying to figure out why. This book is the third in the Wait for You series and it's about Calla, Teresa's friend. She's had it tough - lost most of her family so young, has scars on her face and body and just before the summer of her senior year, she discovered how her mom drained their bank account and caused her to be thousands of dollars in debt. So she goes back to her hometown only to find out that her mom's been missing for about a month. She decides to wait it out and work at her mom's bar, earn some money. There she gets friendly with the handsome bartender Jax, who likes her despite her facial scars and her druggie mother. He introduces her to a lot of firsts and he does his best to take care of her because even with her background, Calla seemed very innocent and lost.

Thinking back, I realized my disappointment stems from the fact that I just didn't like the story. I found it over the top in some parts, a bit boring in others and over all just incredulous. There was too much drama after another going on, that the story got bogged down. So much so that there were moments I was either rolling my eyes or was skipping parts.

And on the romance side, I also felt no interest on seeing where Jax and Calla's relationship was leading...it just felt forced to me. I know Jax was supposed to be this likable hot hero but he fell short. He acted like a player who talks a good game but is just a condescending older guy that lies and can't be counted on.

All in all, I feel really let down with Stay with Me. It had a huge potential but it just felt flat. I expected so much especially since J Lynn said it was her fave book but I seriously doubt that I will be continuing with this series...unless of course it'll be about Cam and Avery. For now, my advice is to wait until the price drops before buying...oh, and also to lower expectations because sad to say, this book is not one for keeps.

Stay with Me A Novel Wait for You Saga J Lynn 9780062294807 Books Reviews

Could have been much much better, if the story was not dragged down by the most dreary, awful pasts of the characters. Strangely I loved the heroine, she was perky and irrepressible, but immature. The hero was not for me at all. I can't say that I have disliked a hero as much as this one in a while. The reason? When they fought over the OW, who was still hanging around with encouragement from the the hero, he just slams the door on the heroine, stays away from her, no communication and then only comes back to confess his love AFTER she has been gut-shot. Undying love was not a theme here. Nothing could really save the book for me after that. Not even his final confession of having loved her from afar from long before they even met.
Also, there was way too much misery in this story, the fire, the death of his sister, the drugs and all the fall-out from that, the mother, the villain mob-guy, the dead body through the window, the heart-attack of the loving uncle, it went on and on and on. This book really needed an editor, or if it had one, a different editor. For a while there was a KA feel to the book and especially the hero's personality and if that was intentional, which is ok, it did not work.
JLA is one of my favorite authors and I know when I pick up one of her books I won't be putting it down until it's finished. This book had me up until WAY past my bedtime reading about Calla and Jax. I adore every couple in the Wait For You world, but these two are my favorite. This story is a prime example of how your past can continue to royally screw up your future, whether you are doing everything right or not!

Calla just wants to finish college to become a nurse when her sad excuse of a mother cleans out her bank account. She has to return home to deal with this, and in doing so runs into Jax, who is running Mona's, Calla's mother's bar. Sparks fly, the past comes up to haunt them both in very dark, dangerous ways, and they have to navigate into the future together.

Just read it! You'll love their banter, and the whole cast of characters is a complete dream squad. Who can't love a psychic stripper who got her gift falling off the pole? The best part about this world is that it feels real, and you are plunked down in the middle from the get-go.
5 stars Super great book. My favorite in this series. It takes the self-image issues to the next level.

Seriously, Calla is scarred. She's embarrassed by her body. And not in the "oh my thighs have cellulite" or "my brother hit me with a branch when we were kids so I have this scar on my eyebrow" kind of way. She is straight up scarred and skin-grafted and everything. I mean, she might as well be missing both legs and the plot still works. So no wonder she has massive self-image issues. This is what took this book to the next level for me... I'm so tired of reading about self-image issues that don't go beyond "my boobs are small and my stomach has stretch lines." Dude, that's everybody.

I have read 43 out of JLA's 48 published novels and novellas, so obviously I'm already on board with her writing style. But there are a handful of her books that I like to revisit every so often, and this is one of them. I like the surprise at the ending (I find it sweet, not creepy). I like how Jax interacts with Calla at every point. I like the danger aspect. Overall two thumbs up from me!
