Wait for you #3.
Bewertet mit 4 Sternen
Stay with Me is the third novel in J. Lynn's series, Wait for You. It can be read as a stand alone. As a matter of fact, all of them can, but I prefer to read them all in order to learn about each character and to see if they will make an appearance in the next book.
Calla was introduced in book two, Be With Me. I found Calla to be a very likable character. She’s had an extremely hard life, and she’s chosen a better path. She is Teresa's college roommate and friend. Calla has a problem. She needs to finish her final year of college to obtain her nursing degree, and everything was going along fine. Until her mom cleaned out her college fund. And then took out over $100,000 worth of credit card debt in her name.
Calla returns home to the town and bar she thought she'd never see again, and there she meets Jax. Jax is the sexy bartender working at her mother's bar, Mona's, and he's interested in Calla. Way interested. Together, the two of them search for Calla's mom who has gone missing, and along the way, find a connection in each other. I love the way Jax was able to get her to open up, to try new things.
So why not 5 stars? Well, this one felt pretty long to me, it dragged in some places and some things didn’t feel necessary. I can’t go into too much detail on the scenes that didn’t feel necessary, without giving away spoilers, but I think after reading it most can guess. And I was frustrated at times, but I was also invested in both Calla and Jax's relationship to keep me turning the pages.
It was also fantastic to catch up with the rest of the crew. There were quite a few Cam, Avery, Jase and Teresa scenes! Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this and recommend it and the series for others.
