A me questo libro è piaciuto tantissimo perché ha saputo regalarmi tante emozioni che sono la prima cosa che cerco leggendo. Mi è piaciuta la storia, i personaggi, come si svolge il racconto e il modo in cui è stato scritto. Cinque stelle a mio giudizio strameritate. E questo non vuol dire che la mia sia una recensione disonesta, vuole solo dire che il libro mi è piaciuto moltissimo ed ha risposto in pieno a quelle che erano le mie aspettative.

Andrew wants a new strings attached relationship but Zoe falls in love with Andrew , Andrew moves back to New York not knowing Zoe is pregnant with his child. Four years later Andrew is back and engaged to another woman. Zoe still loves him and knows she has to tell him about his daughter .... ( )

This is one of three books I have on my shelf to read that were translated by Amazon Publishing. Thank you to both Netgalley and Amazon Publishing for providing the translated ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Zoe got wrapped in the grey eyes and good feelings that Andrew gave her, but she'd told him she could do the no strings attached thing they had going on. Unfortunately, she'd fallen hard and Andrew went back to New York, never to be seen again. He left behind a piece of himself though and when he's back in town, set to be engaged to Zoe's family friend, he finds out how much he left behind. Zoe made a life for herself, but Andrew's return shakes it all up.

Zoe is a likable character, minus her attraction to big jerks and how much she hangs onto the past. I loved her role as a bakery owner and mother to Olivia, it all worked well with her sort-of innocence, her natural tendency to care for others, and how she always put her best foot forward even when inside she was struggling. She was easy to connect to and I really enjoyed the scenes with her friends. The smut to this story is done well, I liked reading the past as Zoe thought of it and how it was weaved in.

Andrew is terrible. I normally love my male characters to be dominating, but this was overwhelming. I mostly couldn't figure out why Zoe wasn't afraid of this guy and how she held onto feelings for him when they literally had nothing between them but sex. Of course, there's some twists thrown in there that makes it all turn out different and better. I just kept waiting for him to blow up and that's not a great feeling to get from a book. I do like how he was with Olivia and how he changed with Zoe. The change happened very quickly however and wasn't completely believable.

Overall, Stay With Me is a quick and easy read. It definitely falls in the New Adult category with some major smut. There are some twists and things you won't expect. It's fun and good for when you're in the mood for a book, but don't have much time.

"Andrew was a real fox!"

Um, no...format girl. Guys who are PIGS are ugly no matter what they look like. Drivel drivel drivel, flashback flashback, more doormat. Gah! It might get better. Frankly, I couldn't stomach anymore. ( )

Stay with Me by Jenny Anastan

I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was an extremely quick read; I completed it in a few hours. It was also a quick story, too quick. The story line progressed quickly. The characters went from hating each other to falling in love very rapidly.

It was a good story with damaged characters and a psycho cousin. The work wasn’t well thought out, but I could follow it along. Characters would appear to be one dimensional, then two, then back to one.

However, I did enjoy reading it. 
