4.5 stars for Stay With Me by Rebel Hart. This is book three in the Diamond In The Rough Series. I feel like Rae and Clint have been on one roller coaster ride of a journey. Book 3 picks up where book 2 left us guessing. We are not left wondering for long. The characters really come into their own in this book. Clint and Rae’s relationship has had its ups and downs but finally a feeling of peace comes in this book. Now I know there is a 4th book in this series but I really like the way this one ended. So I am not sure if I’m gonna start that one . Great Work Rebel Hart !

Rebel Hart has done it again! The conclusion to Clint and Rae’s story is a roller coaster ride. Hold on and get ready. Get the Kleenex ready, grab a glass of wine, and settle in for an evening of reading.
Clint and Rae have had to fight for every bit of their relationship every step of the way. They have an epic story and Rebel gave them the best ending!

Clint and Rae’s story has been amazing so far and one I have thoroughly enjoyed and loved so much. These characters are everything and had my emotions all over the freaking place and loving them more with each book.

As with book 2, this one picks up right where the previous cliffhanger stopped. You’re going through a heartbreak with Rae and hoping that everything gets better for Clint (and Cecilia), while also wanting to smack some of the characters for being stupid or insensitive. I did have the same pet-peeve as in book 2 where the legal issues that came up were not portrayed correctly (like that victim’s do not need their own lawyers since it’s the district attorney’s office that presses charges and prosecutes the case. Victims actually don’t get to decide if charges are filed or not). But again I tried to put that aside and tell myself that it was all needed for the storyline. While there were a few parts that felt were slow towards the end, I really enjoyed this book overall. It was great to see not just the main characters but the supporting characters grow and become stronger.

4.5 Stars!!! Heartbreaking, and Emotional!
This is the third book in the Diamond In The Rough series, and the conclusion to Clinton, and Rae’s tormented love story. This book picks up right where book two left off, continuing the roller coaster of crushing heartbreak, and epic love. Clint thinking he is protecting Rae, leaves her, breaks her heart, and walks away, but Rae isn’t ready to give up on Clint, and is prepared to fight for him, knowing they are stronger together than apart. This was an intense read, the characters are well written, and have steamy chemistry, i loved reading their story, and following them through their journey. This is a must read, this whole series is amazing, and i look forward to reading from this author again!!

What a beautiful emotional story this was. We got taken on a journey of love and heartache and this author definitely knows how to make you feel the feelings of her characters. It was heartbreaking to see the relationship between the two main characters go to the way that it did but also it allowed us to grow with the characters in realize that certain things had to happen certain ways for it to end the way it did. The relationship between Rae and her mom was truly one that I was happy to see changed. Then you have Clint and his stepmothers relationship grow into something much more loving then it was and how she stands by him as well. It was definitely an emotional rollercoaster of ups and downs one that will truly stay with me as a book that I enjoyed and loved very much. The title to this book definitely serves its purpose it will stay with me like I said. In the end I couldn’t be more happy with the way things turned out and the way that these characters grow and came closer loving each other. Rebel Hart definitely has a way with words and I can’t wait to see what is next for us.

His words were what broke her heart. His following actions were what devestated her whole being.
To save her he had to let her go. Give her a future free of his troubles.
Life is bleak, and cruel but the black cloud that follows them both seems endless…
Wow, wow, wowsers!! This is sadly the final book in this trilogy, and is a direct continuation of “Promise me”.
My heart bled for Clinton and Rae their lives fraught with danger and violence. Parental love a thing of dreams.
So strong are they together, they hold each other up and that’s an amazing feat considering all they have been through.
So as they fell apart I was literally screaming at my phone “Don’t do it!!”
I felt so angry at the lives thrust upon them when they both deserved so much more. Their pain became my own!
I was completely hooked on this finale. I forgot the real world and time completely escaped as I let their world swallow me whole.
Rae fought like a trooper, to both brave the world without him and to control her own frustrations. Her weak moments almost brought me to my knees.
Clinton tries to protect everyone from the devil he knows that desires control at his own cost.
His broken and battered body brought tears to my eyes.
All he wanted was escape, all she wanted was freedom from the repetition. It’s not much to ask and I for one was praying with all my might that they got the golden ticket to such a life.
An utterly fantastic mesmerising read that will render you speechless!
Rebel Hart is one to watch, she gets better with every book of hers that I read!

This book was PERFECT! You need to read it right now. Stay With Me was the conclusion of Clint and Rae’s story and it was full of tension and suspense and heat and all the swoony moments I could have asked for. The characters were all so well developed I felt like I knew them. The plot was a good steady pace that kept me glued to my kindle needing to know what would happen next. Rebel Hatt has quickly become a favorite 1-click author for me. I will definitely be recommending this book to everyone!

I was so excited to be able to read an ARC copy of Stay With Me and what can I say it didn’t disappoint. Clint and Rae’s love story is epic and I knew that they were meant to be with one another. This book starts where Promise Me ends with Clint and his father after that fight. My heart hurt for Rae and Clint both, because he was only doing what he thought was best for Rae. He really needed her instead of pushing her away, he was going through a lot of different things brought on by his father and he just needed Rae as his support system. They give in to one another and they are unbreakable because they realize what they need from one another which is love. I’m so happy for Clint and Rae I was rooting for them from the start in Play with Me. I really can’t wait for Don’t Follow Me to come out I need to know what happens next and I hope its not more heartache.
