RATING: BUY IT

With every book of hers that I read, AL Jackson continues to climb the ranks of my list of favorite authors. I’ve just finished Stay and I am completely and utterly satisfied. That feeling you have when you want for nothing more. That everything you expected and everything you needed, came to you in the most perfect way.

Stay is the story of Willow + Ash. Ash, the consummate, you-can-never-be-too-free-or-have-too-many-women rockstar. And Willow, the beautiful, grounded-but-wounded woman that quite literally saves Ash’s life. Watching these two dance around their relationship is an emotional journey you can’t help but be swept away by.

What always strikes me, more than the characters that grab ahold of you and the emotions that threaten to consume you, is the writing. Ms. Jackson’s books are pure poetry. From the writing style, to her deliberate choice of words, to the flow of each page—you can’t help but fall in love with these books and this series.

If you’ve read the rest of the Bleeding Stars series, you’ll be very familiar with Ash and the rest of the band and their partners. If you haven’t, don’t fret {no pun intended}, you can jump in here and make your way back. Either way, you’ll undoubtedly want to get cozy with Stay.

As of 2.2.17, Stay is available on Kindle Unlimited.
