Lindsey TaylorI was content with my life. Spending my days in the emergency department at the hospital, I’ve seen my fair share of life changing moments. I just didn’t realize that my very own life moment was waiting for me at a bar one night. My sister laid down the dare. I accepted. Finding myself in front of the handsome bartender, I don’t expect anything to come from this night. And nothing … night. And nothing does. Until I find myself looking over my shoulder, dark shadows following me everywhere I turn. And the one person that I never expected?
Now he means everything.
Brody Walker
Owning a bar in a small town, I’ve seen my fair share of drunken brawls and bathroom hookups. The night she walked up to me and threw my world on it’s side though? That was one for the books. We spend all our time denying our feelings, but I’m done pretending.
I crave her.
I need her.
But I’m not alone. Someone else wants her. And it seems that they’ll do nothing to stop until they have her. I’ll do anything to keep her safe, even give my life for her.
Only I’m scared that may not be enough.

I really wanted to love this book. But unfortunately, it fell short for me. I really liked Brody, but Lindsey really wore on me. She was very immature in how she handle things and how she spoke. The connection between the two was a little too insta-lovey for me, especially considering that she ran right to him when she got the first unknown phone call. And while I liked the drama that went with the unknown phone calls, I wasn’t sold on the why (and not happy about not getting a conclusion to the second person involved).
While many people will love Stay With Me, it was a miss for me.
This book brings out so many feelings, I’m not quite sure where to start! Happiness, laughter, tears, fear; all play a part in this amazing story.
Lindsey is an ER nurse, whose days are full and busy. She has a fabulous family, great friends, and loves her job. One night, she goes with her sisters to a bar, and sees the hottest guy behind the bar! One of her sisters dares her to go get his number, and ……let’s just say, he doesn’t make the best first impression. (oh boy, I laughed so hard!) It’s really a great thing first impressions aren’t always correct! Brody is a great guy, bar owner, good friend, good son. He works hard to make his business a success. He’s dependable, and absolutely perfect for Lindsey!
This book is full of surprises. I could never have predicted what happened! I was absolutely shocked! I mean, I thought I knew what happened, and what was going to happen, but I was totally wrong! I was kept guessing all the way to the end. I totally, absolutely loved this book! The tears were absolutely worth it!
Heather outdid herself with this one. I loved catching up with the guys from her Heart’s on Fire series. Brody and Linds. What a story theirs was. I never did predict who it was until it all came to light. Just the right amount of hot, steamy, romance, and suspense.
What starts out as a dare turns out to be something so much more when these two are drawn to each other by a connection that neither can deny. However, Lindsey is not going to make it easy on Brody and boy does she make him work for it. As these two walk the path to getting to know each other they quickly learn that love has no rules, timelines or set paths that should be followed. The first book in the Taphouse Blues series will have you captivated and totally locked in for the long haul. As you instantly fall in love with these two characters, they will make you laugh, smile and feel the warmth from the love they are discovering, however there are eyes watching in the background. As this bright, vibrant woman is stalked and harassed and the light starts to dim from her Brody will do everything in his power to ensure she is safe and protected. Stay With Me is romantic, action packed, hot and steamy and will have you on the edge of your seat. Heather Lyn has started this new series on such a huge high and I can’t wait to see what she brings us next. For all of us Heather Lyn fans, there are a few old favourites that drop in for a visit.
Stay With Me is one of my favorite reads of 2018!!! Heather Lyn has definitely become one of my favorite indie authors. The connection between Brody and Lindsey was hot and steamy right from the beginning. The twists and turns keep you guessing the whole time. I love stories that as soon as you think you have them figured out, you get hit with something you never expected.
I cannot wait for more stories in this series.
Sweet and sexy romantic suspense.
I absolutely enjoyed this easy reading Romantic Suspense, and hit it in one session. Heather Lyn gave me all the feels in this book. I’ve read her Hearts On Fire series, which I also recommend, by the way, and, some of those characters have made their way into Stay With Me as friends of our couple, Brody Walker and Lindsey Taylor.
Despite the best intentions of her sisters, ER Nurse Lindsey is happy with her life. She lives for her job, she’s bright, and everyone loves her. In one night, her life changes. She meets a handsomely sexy barman, who, to her mortification, behaves like a gentleman after she puts herself out there for once, and, she gains a stalker, who’s actions ramp up in intensity throughout the book.
Taphouse Bar owner Brody, has certainly noticed the beautiful girl at the bar with “blue eyes the color of the ocean and blonde hair in soft waves that fall to her lower back,” but, he also knows how much she’s had to drink. He might regret being conscientious, but he wants to get to know her properly, so he slows her down, gutted when she runs from his bar before he can get her number. He’s nothing if not resilient though, and he has a feeling he’ll get there in the end.
Trouble is, while they are spending time getting to know each other, somebody else is also trying to gain her attention, putting their fledgling relationship under a strain that has Lindsey questioning whether the fast developing feelings between them are genuine, or intense due to the heavy situation occurring in the background.
Yep, I really enjoyed Stay With Me, it was an awesome read, but, I did have some areas in the book that I would’ve like a little more expansion on. Lindsey’s initial and total reluctance to go out with Brody is something I didn’t entirely understand, and I felt the complete motive of our predator was also missing. While this knocked my final rating, I would absolutely recommend this book as time and money well worth spending, and also look forward to Heather Lyn’s next book. 4 Stars.
This was a fun suspense read! Lindsey bothered me a bit at first – she’s kinda a brat. But overall I really enjoyed the story & I loved Lindsey & Brody together! There’s quite a bit of steamy steam, and Brody has a really sweet heart that I loved. The suspense is written well & made me go 😮 !!! So, that’s always a plus in my book. I enjoyed the ending a lot, as well!! Looking forward to reading about Garret – Garret’s getting a book, right?? : )
OMG fantastic read! The prologue had me intrigued & so scared of what was to come in this story. It was literally laugh out loud funny, emotionally gutting, with a side of sexiness! I’m not sure how this author does it, but I fall in love with her characters every time! Brody is arrogant, sexy & oh so alpha! Lindsey was a fiery, sassy woman with a mouth that reminded me of myself. The chemistry between these 2 is beautifully written & can be felt as u read. Their fist meet up was ugh just funny & sweet. U see them becoming friends, then bam out of nowhere Lindsey’s snark & sass comes out to play. The push & pull was a great part of the story. I highly recommend this book!!
Told in dual POV.
I loved Brody and Linds…… this was an incredible read!!!!!! I loved the connection between them. The chemistry was off the charts…. I loved the glimpses of Grayson and Hunter …… Brody almost knocked Levi out of his top spot for book boyfriend from heather…. ALMOST…. lol…..
“Are you finally mine?”
“Yeah, Brody. I’m all yours. For as long as you’ll have me.”
“That’s gonna be a long time, baby.”
I. Could. Not. Put. This. Down!! I literally read it in one sitting – it’s just that good!! I was so caught up in this story, that everyone else went to bed, and when I finished it was nearly 1 AM! This was such a great story, with great characters, witty dialogue, humor, steam, suspense, heartbreak and love!!
Lindsay Taylor loves her job. She lives for it. She’s not looking for a relationship, but a little fun could be on the agenda. She had no idea that what started out as a dare to get digits from the sexy bartender at Walker’s Taphouse, would end up turning her world, and her heart, upside down. But, a dark cloud is hovering over her happiness. What started out as heavy-breathing phone calls is escalating to a frightening level. If this person isn’t caught, and soon, she could lose everything – including her life.
Brody Walker, owner of Walker’s Taphouse, has had his share of barflies hitting on him. But, this one’s different. She’s feisty, funny, and sexy as hell. Her opening line was cheesy to the max, but he fell for it and can’t stop thinking about her. She might be fighting her feelings for him, but he’ll fight for her harder. She’s his, and he’ll do what he has to in order to keep her. But, someone else is fixated on her too – strange phone calls, notes – it’s getting worse. He’ll protect her as best he can, but this has to stop. He’d sacrifice anything for her – even his own life. He just found her. No way is he losing her now.
What a great start to this series! This is a spin-off from the Hearts on Fire series, so you get more of those characters as well – BONUS!! Oh, what this author puts this couple through – I swear my chest hurt when I read it. I love the fact that the main characters are “normal” people. No billionaires, no ex-military six-foot-four Navy SEALs with an attitude, no mafia bosses, just a bar owner of average height and a nurse. I think that adds a bit more reality to the story – more of a “yeah, that could actually happen” factor! I can’t wait for more!
