A full-length, standalone romance with a guaranteed HEA from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix! If you like romance with alpha men and strong women, you’ll love this series! Sometimes what we run from leads us exactly where we need to be.Jessa Hamilton has nowhere else to go. So she’s packed up her little blue truck and driven to Alaska, seeking refuge at Last Frontier Lodge where at … Last Frontier Lodge where at least she has family she can count on. A fender bender lands her in the path of Eli Brooks, a man of pure, well, manliness. Rugged and strong with a smile that sends sparks flying through her, Jessa has no idea what to do with the way Eli makes her feel.
Eli has plenty on his mind and none of it has anything to do with meeting a woman who makes him reconsider his commitment to avoiding romance. A painful past led Eli to seek peace in the land he loves—the wilderness of Alaska. Eli is a classic Alaskan—he breathes hunting and fishing. Jessa is unlike any woman he’s ever encountered—quirky, independent and…a vegetarian.
While Jessa tries to put the pieces of her life together, a surprise from the past forces
Eli to question just how much running from the past has gotten him. As they each grapple with their own ghosts, passion burns like wildfire between them.
*All novels in this series are full-length standalone novels with an HEA.

Another great read. Jessa is trying to regroup after a fire destroyed everything and recovering from her burns. Eli is worried about his involvement with her considering his upbringing with an abusive father. He doesn’t want to be like that. He also takes in his younger brother so he doesn’t live thru what he did. Many things going on in this story, but it was a great read.
Wonderful book. Excellent author. Love her books.
Another great story by this author. The characters were amazing and drew me in instantly. Jessa’s free spirit and kind heart are just what Eli needs in his life. The steps Eli took to make sure Ryan was safe had my heart melting.
I love this series and want to visit Last Frontier Lodge!!!
This series may be a little repetitive, but I am committed and have really been enjoying it! Stay With Me was the fifth book in J.H. Croix’s Last Frontier Lodge Series. It was super sweet and sexy!
Jessa came to Alaska to figure out where her life was going. Her world had gone up in flames and she was struggling to find her place. Would the wilderness help clear her mind or would crashing into Eli just confuse her more?
Life had not always been kind to Eli. Alaska had been his salvation for years. He had built his business from the ground up and it was thriving. Even though he had enough on his plate when Jessa crashed into him, could he find a spot for her too?
I loved the extra elements in this book (I don’t want to give anything away!) Eli just made my heart melt!! They fell fast, which sometimes bothers me, but it worked for them! I love that I got to see glimpses of other characters! Can’t wait to see what is in store next!
Good strong character and story, lots of romance.
It was an easy read. Liked it and its characters.
I’m a big fan of the Last Frontier Lodge books. It’s great to catch up on the characters from the prior stories and this great Alaskan town. Jessa has credible issues to deal with. Eli has credible issues. Both are gun shy with good reasons. Normally credibility issues of how anybody gets any work done. I really liked the Li’l Bro. I liked the story. Once the sex started it felt like the author had to stop the story for another few pages of sex … maybe to keep those who like it engaged. I skimmed them.
Steamy!steamy!steamy!!!!
Jessa has always felt like the odd one out in her incredibly driven family. Two Navy SEALs, two Attorneys and her, the starving Artist! She is in town to stay with her family and figure out what to do after a fire, where she lost everything.
Eli left home ten years ago, leaving behind his abusive dad, his submissive, scared mom and his four yr old brother. He hasn’t been back since. Eli runs a charter boat service and a retail store selling outdoor gear of all kinds. He ends up with an unexpected guest, when his fourteen yr old brother Ryan hitchhikes into town asking to stay.
They meet because Jessa backs into him in the parking lot. Sparks fly and the electricity snaps immediately for both of them. They are drawn together by their passion for each other. Now they just need to figure out where this will lead them.
This book is sexy, steamy and awesome. Ryan is a great secondary character, and I love hearing about the family from previous stories!
Check out this book and series today!

Another great book in her Alaska series!!
An enjoyable read form beginning to the end/
Alaska is always fun to read about. There was a lot going on in this book
Love anything pertaining to Alaska
Love the series and this author.
An interesting story about friendship, giving, family & love
The author does such a nice job of describing Alaskan life. I enjoy family-oriented books, and this whole series has been delightful.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Really cute story. With a cool meet-cute/kismet. She backed into him not long after arriving in town after her building burned down in Seattle. Then they were constantly drawn to one another. Love Eli and his protectiveness over Ryan and fighting for guardianship. He is a good guy and swoon worthy book bf.
I really like this series. I love the settings, the characters, the sense of community in Diamond Creek and the strong family connections. Eli and Jessa have an instant connection they can’t deny, but they also have a lot of self doubts. Throw in a younger brother who has run away from home and an abusive father and Eli has enough baggage to complicate any relationship.
great series
