MAKE ME STAY is the fifth book in the Hope series by
Jaci
Burton about the youngest of the McCormack brothers who has
returned home to restore a historic building. In this
novel
you will be reintroduced to characters from previous novels
that each have their individual stories. MAKE ME STAY is
about an architect who now lives in Boston. When he comes
home for
his brother's wedding, he sees an historic building he's
drawn to and stays to restore it. This is a story about
finding your calling and fulfilling it. It's about
creating a
place for yourself and taking a chance.
Architect Reid McCormack has returned home to Hope to
renovate
a historic building. His plan is to return to Boston once
the
renovation is finished. While working on the renovation he
becomes drawn to florist Samantha Reasor. Samantha is
taking
care of her elderly grandmother and running her florist
shop.
Samantha's grandmother will have some serious health issues
which she has to make some decisions about. She thought
she
was alone in all this but she soon discovers that not only
is
Reid there to lend support but she has friends to support
her
with whatever she needs.
Reid and Samantha have a strong
sexual chemistry and try to convince themselves that they
can
have a temporary fling. Samantha sees the love that all
her
friends have and so wants that, but she's afraid she can
never
have that with Reid because he intends to return to Boston.
Reid misses being home in Hope and he wants the kind of
relationship his brothers have, but he's not sure Samantha
wants the same. They both are afraid
to speak up for what they want.
Jaci Burton does a wonderful job in showing how family and
friends lend you support and encouragement when you need it
most. I am looking forward to the next story in the
Hope series.
The New York Times bestselling
author of Love After All and the
Play-by-Play series delivers a new novel about how love
sometimes has plans of its own.
Having
left his hometown of Hope years ago, only one thing could
persuade architect Reid McCormack to come home for a lengthy
stay—the challenge of renovating a historic building. But
once the job is finished, he’ll be headed back to Boston, no
matter how much he’s drawn to beautiful florist Samantha
Reasor.
Samantha watches over her elderly
grandmother and pours a piece of herself into every floral
creation she designs. Her crush on Reid has been blooming
for a while now, but she’s reluctant to act on it. A
temporary fling isn’t what she’s looking for, even if Reid
is smoking hot and super sexy. She wants a real, permanent,
forever kind of love.
Two people with different
goals couldn’t possibly work, and yet as their attraction
grows into something deeper, maybe falling in love is the
one thing Samantha and Reid can build a future on.
