Shelly Hampton intends to spend the holidays alone in her family’s mountain cabin, but when a snow-covered stranger appears on her door-step, her plans are shot straight to hell. The man before her seems oddly familiar, and he stirs a dark need within her.It’s soon apparent that John Smith is far more than a normal man—he’s too strong, too fast, and she could swear that he seems to read her … read her thoughts…and know her most secret desires.
But is John a man that she could love…or is he someone she should fear? Because even as the snow fall deepens, a deadly threat is closing in on her little cabin. And soon, Shelly will be trapped on the mountain with a dangerous man…a man who swears that he has come back from the dead, just to be with her.

Shelly Hampton plans to spend the holidays at her family cabin after her father’s death and her brother’s murder leaves her alone in the world. When a strange man accosts her claiming to know her, she isn’t sure what to think. And when he reveals his abilities, that he’s a “super soldier,” and that he’s trying to protect her, she doesn’t know whether to trust him or run. When he saves her life several times, she starts to trust him, but they’ll have to figure out who’s behind the attacks before they can act on the feelings they’re starting to develop. I loved the vulnerable John, so strong and determined, but feeling lost without his memories of his past life. He has only memories of Shelly, which got him through all of the experiments that were done to him in a lab. I thought Shelly was smart to trust him, he was so obviously determined to protect her, but I guess it was a lot to take in within a short time. I really enjoyed the story and now I want to read more of the Lazarus Rising series.
Another great read by my go to author! This is John and Shelly’s story. John Smith is another Lazarus project soldier who escapes and makes his way to Shelly. Though John cannot recall anything else, he definitely remembers Shelly. John just knows that he has to protect her and that she was a beacon for him to follow. Great story, filled with action, deception, betrayal, murder and of course, a HEA! Loved it! 5 stars!!!
The Lazarus Rising is still going strong with another great book from Cynthia Eden. John and Shelly are strong, captivating characters that readers can easily relate to and effortlessly become caught up in their romance which is full of sizzling chemistry that leaps from the pages and a roller coaster of emotional turbulence that grips readers by the heart.
Along with the suspense of the romance, the story also trips all adrenaline junkie triggers with lots of danger, thrills, surprising twists that readers don’t see coming and devastating betrayals that keeps readers on the edge of their seat and glued to the pages.
Once again, Cynthia Eden brought another book to life with vivid images that make it easy to picture the story as it unfolds and which brings the characters to vibrant life. I thoroughly enjoyed Stay With Me and I can’t wait to read Run to Me.
Will we see more?
I hadn’t read the other Lazarus books, but it was still easy to read and follow. Kept me reading to the end with some surprises thrown in.
I love her books
So awesome. Full of suspense, action and sex. I believe this is my favorite out of this series so far.
Shelly goes to her family’s cabin for the holidays. She lost her brother not long ago and they haven’t found out who killed him yet. John is one of the Lazarus projects and the only thing he remembers is Shelly. He knows she’s in trouble so he finds her and saves her twice. She’s afraid at first but realizes he’s a good guy and only wants to help. As they try to figure out who John is and why someone wants to kill her or him, she starts to fall for him.
Great story and characters. It will leave you on the edge of your seat and think “ Oh crap.”
