Stay With Me

This is a review of an ARC of this book. I am a big fan of Ava Stone’s Historical Romances but haven’t read any contemporary stories by her. As my first try I found this book to be a delight to read. These days, no one is exempt from the glare of Social Media. So, when Ashton and her boyfriend have a very loud breakup in a coffee shop they shouldn’t be surprised that someone would Tweet about it. Unfortunately for them, the tweets went viral and every on campus began talking about and trying to guess the identities of the couple. Ashton knows about the tweeter but hasn’t really spoken to him. When they are thrown together while traveling for Christmas holidays – sparks fly. Both were supposed to fly out of the same airport but when Ashton’s flight is cancelled Will volunteers to drive her to CT and she invites him to stay for the holidays. It was interesting to watch these two get to know each other and fall in love. It isn’t always a smooth road with Ashton’s family getting in the way when she lies to them about her boyfriend (not admitting that they have broken up). This book alternates between Ashton and Will – so you get to see both of their prespectives on how things are going. It is an interesting way to tell the story and helps the reader to get inside both of their heads. This is a happily ever after holiday story but beware – things get bad before they get better. It is worth the wait to get to the end. If I had any complaints it would be that I would have liked to see a little more at the end – an epilogue perhaps. But even without that it was a great read.
