MY REVIEW:
This is a complex, suspenseful and emotional romance read. Megan goes thru something no parent or spouse should ever have to go thru. She finds out everything about her life was a lie in a span of hours and then on top of it , her child is horrifically injured. Betrayal , pain, and loss definite this story but then we have renewal, hope, and new love also comes to the forefront with Dr Garrett Kristoff- he is the surgeon in charge of Megan’s daughter’s case. He was a school friend of Megan’s and her estranged husband.
With all that has gone on in her life of late, Megan is leery to let Garrett in her life yet he doesn’t give up. Garrett feels different-- Garrett was the victim of unrequited love, he had only loved one person and that was Megan. When Megan ended up with Connor , he chose to not let her in on his feelings or act on them yet now that Connor had completely blew up his marriage, Garrett happens to be around to be there for Megan and bide his time once again.
Stay Awhile is one emotionally complex read. There are multi layers to this story. The jerk husband angle worked great –and the beginning there was a show of the ‘OW” yet never really got a read on who she really was. There were mentions but no full explanation—I will say I loved what I did read which was the 2nd chance love story of Megan and Garrett. I loved Megan’s daughter Lainey. She was adorable. Seeing Megan taking a chance on actually giving in and learning to trust her heart—loved it. Garrett was a fantastic book boyfriend. Only thing that I felt could have been improved/hashed out more was the ending. I needed to know more and it was rushed…there were things left unsaid and I would have liked that more tied up..and would have liked to have an epilogue where we see Megan and Garrett a year or so down the road. Otherwise, this was a fantastic read .
My rating: 4.6 stars ****
