Blog Tour: Review & Giveaway: Stay With Me by Elyssa Patrick

With one look, I’m his . . .

With one touch, he’s mine . . .

With one kiss, it changes everything between us . . .

I’ve been famous since I can remember. Singing, acting, dancing—I’ve done it all. The tabloids cover my every move, but I don’t want that anymore. I want to be normal, whatever that is.

When I leave Hollywood for college in Vermont, I’m on my own for the first time in my life. This is my chance to figure out who I am and what I want in life.

But it’s a lot harder than I expected. I can’t escape my image. Classes are difficult, and I’m struggling. And then there’s Caleb Fox.

Sexy, intriguing Caleb Fox.

Caleb is the one man who doesn’t want to use me. He breaks down my walls. He challenges me. He wants me. And I just don’t know if I can give him the same—or if he’ll stick around when he finds out my shameful secret that the tabloids haven’t managed to uncover.

Dating him is risky enough, but loving him could break me.

Review

When I read the description of this one, I assumed it would be just another rockstar meets hometown boy/girl story. I was very pleasantly surprised. This story was so much more than that in a great way. It was about building friendships, realizing that family isn’t always blood, self-discovery, and romance.

I really enjoyed the characters and the way they interacted the entire story. I loved seeing the friendships grow as well as the relationship. It was interesting to watch Hailey grow into herself and realize that your past does not dictate your future. It was also nice to see how Caleb had to TRY to win her over. While their romance was definitely fast paced, it wasn’t rushed. They took time with each other as well as with their friendships.

I loved the dynamic between everyone! The friendships flowed with ease and that is due to the talent of this author. She really impressed me with her smooth style of writing. She evoked various emotions throughout the story and really made you feel as if you were part of this group. I cannot wait to see what is in store for the rest of this series and this group of friends!
