Make Me Stay by Jaci Burton

Make Me Stay (Hope, #5)

by Jaci Burton

The New York Times bestselling author of Love After All and the Play-by-Play series delivers a new novel about how love sometimes has plans of its own.  

Having left his hometown of Hope years ago, only one thing could persuade architect Reid McCormack to come home for a lengthy stay—the challenge of renovating a historic building. But once the job is finished, he’ll be headed back to Boston, no matter how much he’s drawn to beautiful florist Samantha Reasor.  

Samantha watches over her elderly grandmother and pours a piece of herself into every floral creation she designs. Her crush on Reid has been blooming for a while now, but she’s reluctant to act on it. A temporary fling isn’t what she’s looking for, even if Reid is smoking hot and super sexy. She wants a real, permanent, forever kind of love. 

Two people with different goals couldn’t possibly work, and yet as their attraction grows into something deeper, maybe falling in love is the one thing Samantha and Reid can build a future on.

Reid really kept me on the hook here. His denial of his affection and desire for more almost made me nuts, but then he would go and do something so sweet and considerate, that I had to forgive him. I loved Sam. What she was going through with her grandma was heartbreaking, but she was lucky to have her Hope-family and Reid ended up really being there for her. I will forever like when all the men get together and have their heart-to-hearts. And, how did I not notice all the doggie love in this series? Now that I am listening to them all in a row, the pups are emerging, and Not-my-dog totally won my heart.
