Book Review – ‘Stay Awhile’ by Chrissa Rose

Synopsis

After walking out on my jerk of an ex-boyfriend in the middle of a date, I made a promise to myself: no dating for a year. A little time and space to get to know myself was exactly what I needed after eight years in a toxic soul-sucking relationship, and it’s not like my tiny hometown is teeming with eligible bachelors anyway.

And then a night at the bar with my little sister ends with her in the back of a cop car and me sobbing in the bar owner’s arms—and drunkenly telling him the whole sad story of my terrible relationship, including just how bad the sex was.

Whoops.

It turns out that bar owner might just be everything I’ve ever wanted and then some.

He’s funny and kind and toe-curlingly sexy. He goes to the farmer’s market every Saturday morning and does yoga in the community garden with the senior citizens every Wednesday. And when we finally fall into bed together? I’m seeing stars.

I said no dating, but a no-strings-attached arrangement with the hottest man I’ve ever met just might be exactly what the heartbreak doctor ordered.

This is supposed to be temporary, so why is Weston starting to feel like home?

My Thoughts

I never thought I could dislike a character so much in my life until I read Stay Awhile by Chrissa Rose.  Todd who is Rose’s ex is a guy that makes me want to punch the guy so bad.  He was rude and made it so Rose felt like she was a burden and felt guilty for just hanging out with her sister.  

Rose was at her lowest point when she met Weston but since he was the right guy for you he was able to help build up her confidence and make her into a better person at the end of the book.  They both brought out the good in each other, accepted each other as a person, and didn’t try to change one another.

Stay Awhile was a book that could tug at the heartstrings and show how in a relationship if it is right there is give and take and no keeping score. The partner is there for you no matter what and wants to help you succeed. Giving Stay Awhile four stars was a no-brainer.  Along with the heartstrings and amazing story, there was spice.  This book was able to get a 3 on the Spice Level rating.
