Fresh Fiction Review

Make Me Stay

Romance Erotica Sensual

In the fifth book of the Hopeseries, Jaci Burton pairs together sexy Reid McCormack and sweet Samantha Reasor in this heartfelt story of love. Reid is only in town long enough to restore a building but as the demolition begins, he can't stop noticing the florist Samantha while he works. What I loved about Samantha's character was that she was very independent and successful. She wasn't at all needy, begging for Reid to stay when I think most women would've. Although she knows that Reid will only be around, she doesn't dwell on that. Instead she takes every moment with him to her heart.

As you read the book, there is a change in Reid and it becomes more and more apparent as the romance blooms. The fact that the entire cast is such a close-knit group creates a greater sense of family. So when you throw Reid into the mix, it truly feels genuine.

It will come as no surprise that my favorite part of this book is actually Reid's time with his new dog. Much like Reid, the dog appears out of nowhere and as many times as Reid tries to get rid of him, the canine appears to have grown attached. I loved his conversations with the dog. They were cute, endearing, and brought on greater insight into Reid's character.

MAKE ME STAY is a delightful story about love, friendship and family. Heartfelt and sweet, this is a story that will no doubt enlighten and bring a smile to your face.

SUMMARY

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.
