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...

This was all the OTT drama, and I enjoyed it. It was a good change of pace for me, and sort of made up for the more serious book I was reading at the same time.

I liked Calla in previous books, but always felt she short changed herself due to her scars. Her backstory was so sad, but like J Lynn just kept heaping it on. I do have to commend JLA on making Jax both an alpha, but fairly sensitive, and I sort of liked the way both sides worked together, when it came to Calla. I thought there was a bit of unnecessary drama, but you know, at that point, why not bring more!

I liked the escape this book gave me, and I was throughly entertained.
