Until the day my lifestyle caught up to me.
Willow Langston found me at my lowest.
Literally.
Facedown in a puddle of my own blood.
I owe her my life and I have three months to repay that debt.
What I never should have done was touch her. Kiss her. Take her to my bed.
Love wasn’t supposed to be a part of the equation.
I gave up that nasty complication a long damned time ago.
Now I want her more than my next breath.
But she doesn’t know what I know.
Do I leave to protect her? Or can I face my demons and ask her to Stay?

I may be a bleeding heart for the Bleeding Stars series but when you read poetry like this:
“We bled with the stars.
Where they streaked and wept across the endless sky.
Infinite.
Burning bright right before they quickly burned out.
Ashes.”
How do you put into words the way that makes your heart clench? How do you explain the way you have fallen in love with a fictional bad boy? How do you tell someone the joy, the mystifying happiness, and exquisite peace that love brings?
Words that evoke feelings are special. Writing a book that makes me cry isn’t that hard, but a book that makes you feel everything- that’s priceless.
I read to escape. I read to feel that kind of love over and over again. I read to find more joy in an otherwise lack luster day.
A.L. Jackson has her reasons for writing. I just hope whatever they are she never gives them up.
Stay is another story from the boys of Sunder. It is the story of a closely guarded disguise being shredded. The word “Stay” may not be as powerful to some as love, but it so much more…

An exceptionally phenomenal and heartrending must read!
Stay is a gripping and compelling story about two damage souls, finding that all-consuming connection and acceptance together. The raw emotions and powerful dialogue made this book one of the best books I have ever read.
This story has an undefinable pull, immersing you into every aspect of the book. From the very beginning, I was captivated. The character dynamic was utterly intriguing; the more I read, the more I wanted to truly know these characters. It felt like I had my own exclusive access into their thoughts and hearts. But I still had so many questions continuously running through my mind.
The heart can be just as unyielding as it is accepting. The difficulties displayed in the story, with welcoming honest and pure feelings, settled a deep ache within me. How something that feels so right and perfect, can induce reactions that are completely different; knowing that simply loving someone isn’t enough to erase the pain and torment of one’s past.
Stay is moving, enchanting, sexy, and deeply emotional. If I could rate this book 10 stars, I wouldn’t hesitate to do so. A.L. Jackson thoroughly wows her readers with this riveting and passionate love story!
Loved Stay!! This entire series is absolutely one of my all time favorites!! Each character is so unique and well loved!! Love the Sunder Boys!!
