Corinne is an author I discovered this past year; in which, she has quickly become a favorite that I highly recommend and this book is exactly why! Say You’ll Stay is a second chance romance that will have you crying, laughing and begging for more…. more of this beautifully written breathtaking love story! Reading this book had me so captivated by Zach and Presley I couldn’t put it down and kept telling myself one more chapter until I realized it was 2 in the morning and had to work in just a few hours. When you are so enamored with a book that you can’t put it down and it gives you all the feels you know 5 stars just doesn’t do it justice! I am equal parts scared and excited for the next book in this series.
Oh my! I absolutely loved this book! There’s such a range of emotions that you’ll be reaching for the tissues and then laughing out loud. What wonderful characters in this series!
Oh, my gosh! This book! I can’t even begin to tell you how much I loved this. First of all, Ms. Michaels gives an incredible story that really blew me away. There is so much depth and the pow hits you right from the beginning. The emotions were so powerful. I could feel Presley’s bone deep despair when her husband left her alone with a life that was turned upside down. It was a repeat of the rejection she felt when Zach had walked away from her all those years ago after they had planned out their whole lives. Can’t she just find one man who will stay and love her?
Presley returns to live with her parents because she has no other option. In her small home town she discovers that Zach is there too. He wants a second chance, but can she ever trust him with her heart again. What about her sons? Is it too soon for them?
I listened to the audio version of this book that was narrated by my favorite narrator duo, Andi Arndt and Sebastian York. Sigh…
This was my first Corinne Michaels book, and I know it won’t be my last. This was also my first second chance romance book. It’s also a slow-burn story.
In the story, we meet Presley. When The tragic loss of her husband leaves Presley and her boys with nothing, she has no choice but to pack up and move back home to Tennessee. The last place she wants to be. But, what’s in Tennessee, that has kept Presley away all these years? Well, Zachary Hennington, the guy who broke her heart all those years ago. From the first chapter, I knew this book was going to be an emotional one. Gosh, the things that Presley went through and then having to return to the life she left behind.
Presley and Zachary’s love has always been there. They each lived different lives for seventeen years, but they knew in their hearts that it was always the two of them. It would always be. Zachary was there to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart and put them back together.
“He robs me of the thoughts that have haunted me and replaces them with the sun. All I feel is warmth. All I see is light. All I feel is joy.”
If you like a slow burn romance book, this book is for you.
I enjoyed this book. Many of the characters were fun and I liked that it was hard to put down
Wonderful story…loved it!!!!
I found myself loving the book from the beginning. The first few scenes are so intense, I had no clue where the next events could go. I love the courage coming from Presley. I love that the character was written to lead her family out of the tragedy. Wyatt is the best. He’s my favorite character I think. The book was a bit long. The majority of the book was a lot of dialogue about each character and what they have been through. I was hoping that at least some intimate moments between Zach and Presley would take place. Sadly no.
This book was everything!!! It broke my heart and put it back together again! I can’t say enough about Corinne’s books. She writes with so much care for her readers, and just as much passion for her characters. All I can say is, you have to read this book!!!
Loved the story of Zach and Presley. Thoroughly enjoyed all the books in this series by Corinne Michaels. Highly recommend.
I loved it!!!
Liked it so much, I got the rest of the series.
Very sweet easy read
Just OK
Very good but the woman was to proud for me she should have been more open instead of holding everything in
The characters are realistic in that they misunderstood each other when they were young. But, about 17 years later when they are back together, they still can’t seem to communicate over past mistakes. I got tired of the back and forth between the characters and wanted the finale way before I actually reached it in the book.
I am almost done, but excited to find this author’s work. Big Wow! And addictive so I already bought the next one.
Well, “disappointing” is what I say. This book started with potential, then fell into the “same ol”. I gave it three stars because it was a freebie. I couldn’t wait to be done, the eye rolling hurt my head.
I loved this book.
Loved it .
This was an excellent story! Corinne Michael is a terrific writer, can’t wait to read more!
