Stay with Me (Wait for You, #3)

by J. Lynn and Jennifer L. Armentrout

Another outstanding New Adult novel from the bestselling author of WAIT FOR YOU - a NEW YORK TIMES bestseller

Not all scars are visible on the surface

Calla Fritz is used to hiding. Hiding the scar that she believes mars her beautiful face. Hiding the burns that cover so much of the rest of her body. Hiding her past and her family secrets from her new college friends.

But when her mother clears out her bank account and disappears, Calla is forced to return home and face up to a life she'd rather forget about. What she didn't count on was meeting the one guy who seems to be able to see past her defences. Jackson James, known as Jax, is beyond smokin' hot - and Calla can't quite hide her feelings for a man who knows that beauty isn't only skin deep.

But with some dangerous characters looking for her mother - men who are perfectly happy to punish Calla for her mother's sins if she doesn't turn up soon - Calla and Jax have more troubling things to think about than the searing heat between them...

Am I actually giving this book 4 stars?

Yes. Yes I am. After 3.5 and then 2.5 stars for the first two installments, I have to give this one a solid 4. I think the copyediting was much better in this book -- there were still issues, but not nearly as many. And I really related to Calla (this is the main reason for those 4 stars). I found some of the fights in the last third or so to be a bit unbelievable, but overall this is my favorite of the series so far.
