D.L. Howe's Reviews > Stay

Not gonna lie, at some points I didn’t know who annoyed me more; Wes or Brayden.

Brayden was too immature, too pushy and annoying. Wes was such a grump all the fucking time, but more so he was overly redundant.

I’m all for angst but when you beat the dead horse until you kill it ten times over, it’s a bit much. Stop hitting me over the head with the same lame excuses.

On the other end of the spectrum Brayden is no doubt the most selfless person on the planet. I adored the relationship he built with Jessie, Wes’ niece. He was a major positive influence on her and she came to need him as much as Wes.

And Wes is so incredibly strong even if he’s hiding from any kind of happiness he still tries to take care of everyone around him. Nobody could’ve been a better choice to take care of Jessie after her mom died.

This was obviously super emotional, the angst was far too high and the steam far too low. It’s only my third book by Hart but I’ve come to expect a lot of smut and that was sorely missing from this.

Seeing as the pros and cons are pretty even on this one, I have no choice but to give it a middling rating … unfortunately.

This won’t stop me from finishing the series though.
