This story was a little different from the other books from 425 Madison Avenue, as this was about Brynn and Brendan finding each other in Atlantic City and he takes her home with him no questions asked. Love at first sight for both of them. Brynn hated her job in Atlantic City but was hiding from someone who was threatening her family if she didn’t leave New York. As soon as she comes back the threats start again. She and Brendan can’t figure out who would be doing this to her but he and his team work to find out along with Brynn’s brother. Her kidnapper is a relative who is jealous and wanted her for himself. Brynn has her happy ever after with the man she loves and a new baby. I loved reading this book as I always reading all of these books. They have some of the some characters from previous books but also contain new characters. Can’t wait to read the next book.
I truly love this 425 series. I’ve fallen in love with this amazing building full of awesome characters that I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know.
This book is no exception on the character front! Easy to love and root for after their meet-cute.
Unfortunately, Let Me Stay has fallen a little short for me this round in other areas. I felt like I was reading more of an outline to the story because so much seems to happen in such a short time. Because of that, it never felt like I was really getting to the heart of it all. Also, instant and lasting love between 2 virgins would normally be a bit of a stretch in this kind of series….made all that more unbelievable this time by them being excellent lovers as well. Throw in some mafia crime, a stalker, a multi-billion dollar gaming empire…and it reaches some new levels. I wanted to love it, but I just couldn’t this time.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this book, the beginning felt fast for me. But holy cow did it turn out to be suspenseful and totally amazing. The turn is takes was a little expected but the rest will sweep you off your feet. Hoping there’s a book somewhere with Bart and Arabella….
Brynn is from a mafia family and is working at a bar. She is running from a stalker. Brendan is a wealthy guy and meets her at the bar. The two have an instant attraction and things move fast. Brynn has a mafia family that Brendan doesn’t know about yet so will he let her stay once he finds out? How will Brynn’s family like Brendan? A good contemporary romantic read.
Brendon was on a stag do, and they ended up in a bar where all he had eyes for was the waitress! Brynn was on her own, she has a story and refuses to te anyone for fear of her family getting hurt!
Brendon asks her to go home with him, so she agrees, and off they go. Having money like he does he does a background check on Brynn and knows about her secrets, but trust has to be earned, so he doesn’t say anything.
Finally, the time comes to meet her family, and it’s there that he learns she is being threatened, so he talks to her father and brother and they come up with a plan. Sadly things go wrong and Brynn is kidnapped! Brendon will do whatever it takes to get her back!
This is a story of true love, and a man who will protect his woman no matter what! And a woman who is so strong she can get through anything!
I read this book in one go, it was hard to put down.
Enjoyable, quick read about Brendan and Brynn. Their connection is immediate with lots of chemistry. Enjoy!
I read an arc copy of this book.
An enjoyable well written double virgin love at first sight romance. This amazing storyline kept me addicted page after page with humor, suspense, intense emotions, outside drama, action and love. The characters are interesting and well developed with great chemistry. I voluntarily read and reviewed this fantastic standalone in the 425 Madison series.
Romantic, but….
3.5
It’s a good romance, but I didn’t understand the choices of the male hero Brendan. He justifies them out of love, but his choices don’t seem to correspond to what he is. He succeeded as an honest game designer, but when he understands who Brynn’s family is, he shifts his priorities when he could have done otherwise sometimes.
Brynn fled New York because she was being harassed. A year later, she meets Brendan, who is in the club where she works for her brother’s bachelor party. They are immediately attracted and he offers her to return with him to New York. Returning, Brendan discovers Brynn’s mafia family and the threats she face, which forces them to make choices.I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Overall, I love this series. When I’m reading, it feels like I’m living at 425 Madison and it’s great. The various residents of the building are fun and interesting and have great stories.
That being said, I did not enjoy this one. The story itself was okay, it was entertaining, but I found myself saying “oh please” and rolling my eyes more often than not. I am not a fan of instalove at all, and this book is alllll about the instalove. Not only the couple when they first meet, but Brendan’s parents don’t bat an eye when their only son marries a mafia princess and entrenches his new business with the mob willingly. Brendan and Brynn were that annoying overly lovey couple, too. She goes home with him the night they meet, the I love yous start flying the next day, and they start trying to get pregnant immediately?? Brendan has a possessive, creepy vibe too. The other problem I had with the book was the dialogue. There isn’t a single contraction in the dialogue and NO ONE talks like that in everyday casual conversations.
There is a lot of action in this book, however. It does have an okay plot and good pacing. While this author’s style just isn’t for me, there will be those who enjoy it. If you like mafia romances, check this out.
Brendan and Brynn are hot! They steam up the pages. Their first meet was love at first sight.
I loved this story it was romance and some mystery.
Their secrets came out on their own timeline and they just were perfect for one another.
The 425 Madison series was so amazing and I loved every book and every character.
I love going into a book blind. The only information I knew about this one was the fact that they would live or are going to be living in 425 Madison, I couldn’t even begin to know how this one would turn out.
Brynn seemed like she wouldn’t take any crap but she also seemed like she was innocent and wouldn’t fully understand some things. I had some mixed feelings about her because on one hand she seemed to be all in and ready for battle but in the other hand she didn’t seem like she knew the risks. The growth of her character from beginning to end wasn’t as massive as I thought it would be but you still saw improvement.
Brendan isn’t what I expected when he first met Brynn. I completely thought he would be a total crap guy like they mostly are and it shocked me to see it happen. Even towards the end, the type of guy he seemed to be wasn’t the man I would put together. I have no doubt that this couple seemed as chaotic as two people in their situation would be but the happenings at the end left you confused.
I honestly had some questions about the whole big ordeal with the stalker. I even had some questions regarding some people towards the end. I was a little confused on age differences that would make that look weird. But all, in all, this was an action packed, steamy and emotional read I enjoyed!
Love this series and Love MK’s words. MK did not disappoint with Brendan and Brynn’s story. These two were made for each other. I love that Brendan found and rescued Brynn exactly when she needed it and gave her the safety and home that she had been missing. Oh and Brendan the Sexy Alpha Nerd that saves his woman and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her and give her the HEA that she deserves. Great read!!!
This was another solid offering from this series! This was a new to me author and I am looking forward to reading more. Brynn was bartending when Brendan met her. He was attending a bachelor party. Their story is an over the top insta-love type that I truly enjoyed.
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done
Let Me Stay is another great addition to the 425 Madison series. I loved the very brief cameo appearance by characters from this author’s earlier book in this series. There was a strong connection between Brendan and Brynn right from the start. Brynn carries a lot of secrets and I do admit, the one that perplexed me the most was why she hid the reason for her move to Atlantic City from her family. Regardless, this book was filled to the brim with drama, suspense, and first-time love and kept me engaged from the start!
Brendan and Brynn are an intriguing couple that will keep you captivated with their story. Both are waiting for that special someone to give their virginity to. While Brendan is constantly reminded by his mother about having children, his mind is on his business. Brynn is being stalked and as a result left town. They meet when Brendan goes to Atlantic City for a bachelor’s party for his cousin. He is drawn to Brynn right from the start and as they bond, her stalker comes back into the picture. Will Brandan be able to keep her safe and out of harm’s way? I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
This a wellwritten and fastpaced story that captivated me from the start. The storyline is entertaining and actionpacked. The characters are wonderful. Can not wait for the next book in this series.

I really enjoyed this series so if you haven’t read the other books in the series, do it. I thought the love story between Brendan and Brynn was sweet and insta-fall. It was definitely full of action, in and out of the sheets. I don’t know if it was the short length of the story, and maybe not enough time to get the story developed, but the whole feel of the “family business” and the inclusivity after such a short time didn’t sit well with me. It almost seemed too easy. I definitely thought the second half of the book flowed better than the first part.
GAH!! I love everything about 425 Madison! I have loved all 17 books and I hope they never stop! There are so many amazing elements to this story! Brendan and Brynn’s love at first sight story is beautiful! I loved watching these two fight for their HEA! FIVE STARS!!
Loved Brynn & Brendan story in the 425 madison series. Brynn sass and attituse is just right and Brendan needs that in his life. They are a match made in heaven. Let me stay is an amazing read xx
Multi-layered. Complicated. Intriguing. Emotional. There is no one word that can describe Let Me Stay. Brendan and Brynn are drowning in depth. Moore dives deep into the tragic side of love. Family betrayal, dangerous enemies and yearning so deep that the heart may never recover. Although the emotions cut deep, Moore doesn’t write victims. She writes characters with the courage to fight back and find the hero/heroine within themselves. Let Me Stay packs a mighty punch.
