Synopsis
Fate took Cassandra down a path she never expected.
Then a small town in Colorado gave her exactly what she needed—until
tragedy left her heartbroken and devastated. Alone with only her child and
her memories, Cassie struggled to put her life back together, one day at a
time, piece by piece. Finding love again was something she never thought
possible. That was, until she ran into an unlikely stranger who flipped her
entire world on its axis.
Aidan had a secret locked away in his heart; one that would surely send
Cassie running the second she discovered it. He held onto her closely and
kept his secret guarded, but one careless mistake could reveal all.
Their friendship was strong, their moments beautiful, and the love that
brewed between them intense—something neither denied. The only
problem? Cassie was slowly letting him into her life. Could she let herself
get close to the one person she didn’t think she should?
Her mind tells her to run, but her heart tells her to stay.

My Review
I finished reading this book a few days ago and I still cant stop thinking about it. BA Wolfe BLEW ME AWAY with her first book AWAY. But let me tell you, with this book I stayed blown away right from the start, from the first page. This is the book I have been waiting to read. To see how this story would fit into Away. It fits. Perfectly.
I can't tell you anything about this book. Anything I tell you would ruin the story for it. I will tell you this though. You need tissues and lots of them. If you thought Away was emotional, Stay is going to make you drown. I was a big huge crying/sobbing mess, especially since I re-read Away first and went straight into reading Stay.
This book will pull every last drop of your emotions. There are plenty of Noooo, OMG, WTH moments. It's like being on the fastest roller coaster and getting of breathless. That is how this will leave you, breathless, this is a book you will think of over and over again. Each time it will be like you are reading it for the first time.
BA Wolfe, This book is exceptional. It is stunningly brilliant. It is beautifully written. The characters are amazing. When you read this it plays out in your head in vivid colours, in HD, in Dolby surround sound. without a pause button.
This book gets 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments.
Excerpt
Chapter 1 – One Year Ago
Dan
My hand shot left and landed on the alarm clock, silencing its incessant
beeping. There was no point even setting it. I’d been awake for hours, anyway, but
inside my nerves were having a hay day. Heartbeats thudded against my chest as I
sucked in deep breaths trying to calm myself.
“Fuck it,” I muttered, kicking my heavy comforter off.
I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and ran a hand through my messy
morning hair. My eyes traveled to the phone on my nightstand. I picked it up, sent a
quick message to my brother, then tossed it beside me on the bed and made my way
to the kitchen in nothing but my boxers. After dumping coffee grinds into the maker
and setting the machine to brew, I braced my arms against the white countertop
and stared down mindlessly while I waited. Your brain knew when something was
important. It wouldn’t let you think of anything else. It was all-consuming. Today, it
might just be the death of me.
I filled my lucky Denver Bronco’s mug and paced my way through the house.
Wearing a path in the floor was the only thing slowing my thoughts. I downed a few
sips and stopped in front of a tall bookshelf. A covered box containing all my letters
from Jase was nestled there.
It had started out as a joke, but neither of us could stop writing. I told him
I had a mailbox at college and then every week I had a letter waiting for me. And
every week I’d write him back. I saved them all. His latest had me smiling hard. He
was happy. Really happy—thanks to her. I needed to meet that girl. My eyes caught a
glimpse of the clock; it was nearly time.
I took a shower and slipped on a pair of worn jeans, a plain tee, and my Nikes.
Sucking in a deep breath, I grabbed my keys and left, bracing myself for the day
ahead.
I was only an hour into my drive when the red engine light caught my eye. It
came on every once in a while, so I pushed it to the back of my mind. My foot
pressed a little harder on the gas pedal. As the needle on the speedometer crept
higher, a new light on the dashboard lit up. And then it happened—my car started to
shut down. “Fuck.” I banged my fist at the wheel as the car slowed. But no amount of
banging or cursing helped. I veered to the shoulder of the highway, dodging car after
car. Finally, the piece of crap stopped dead.
“No, no, no. Don’t do this to me now.” I pounded the steering wheel again,
ready to beat it to death. “Not today. Damn it!” I reached for my phone in the cup
holder, dialed the number for Triple A, and within minutes the rep said a tow truck
would be on its way. Estimated time of forty-five minutes. Great.
It was too important of a day to be starting out like this. I only prayed things
turned around.

My Review
This was my Review When I was part of The Away Tour
Cassandra Pierce has a perfect life planned out for her - by her parents. But her perfect life has just got worse and the only thing she does is run to her best friend Melanie who is in college hours and hours away.
Cassandra isn't very good with directions even with a gps. She ends up in the opposite direction going through a small town when she ends up having a blow out in her car and going into a tree.
Jason Bradley has watched everything that happened and goes to help. He become her hero in more than one way..
Wow, Wow, Wow I loved this story. I loved everything about it. I loved Cassandra's transformation when she's not with her parents. I loved Jason- girls there's a new book boyfriend on the block. Jason is a true gent. He looks after her from day one. I love the way they both have secrets and they have to trust in order to explain. But is it with devastating effects.
I think this quote fits perfectly-
"It was as though his key found the perfect lock to fit into, filling every bit of me as though we were made for each other"
This book is stunning, it compels you to read from the first page. I couldn't put it down. It is an amazingly, Fantastic Read.
This is an amazing debut book by Barbara Wolfe. She is the Author to watch out for in the future.
Barbara thank you for a Fantastic read. This book is Amazing.
This gets 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments.
Excerpt
“Alright.” He raised his brow as he walked over to the nightstand, writing something on the
notepad. “Here’s my cell number, call me if you need anything. I only live about ten minutes
away. Seriously, if you need anything, just use the motel phone.”I took the ripped piece of
paper he handed me. “Thanks.” I knew I needed it so I could talk to him about my car, but that’s
as far as it would go.“I mean it, anything,” he said as he walked to the door, resting his hand
against the frame. “Can I get you something before I leave? Dinner?”
“No, I’m not hungry at all, but thanks for offering. I think I’m ready to get some sleep,” I
admitted.
“I’ll keep you posted about your car,” he said.
“Thanks,” I said, thankful that I would get to see him again, but feeling like a mixed up basket
case for not trusting him. I was a freaking mess.
“Goodnight Cassandra,” he said quietly before closing the door and walking away.
Yeah, right. Goodnight in this place was going to be hard to come by. I locked the door after he
left and walked over to the bed. I drew the covers back and found exactly what I’d pictured...
Stains. Gross. I pulled the covers back over the bed and decided to sleep with a towel over
me instead. I walked into the filthy bathroom, quickly grabbed a towel, and ran back to the
room like a scared child. I put on a pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt and was ready to get some
rest. It had been an unusually long day between the long drive, the accident, and the hospital.
Too exhausted for continued thinking, I let my brain off the hook and laid down on the hard
mattress. As I pulled the towel over my body, I noticed my feet were going to be hanging out all
night. Great.
I gently laid my sore head back onto the pillow and blinked my eyes a few times. I was right.
Sweet dreams were extremely hard to come by in this place, but I tried. I closed my eyes and
fell asleep.
Based on the way I felt the next morning, I’d gotten only a few hours of sleep at the most.
Between the noises, the creaks, and the foul smell, I didn’t know which was worse. That was, by
far, the worst night’s sleep I’ve ever had. The morning sun shone brightly through the yellowed
curtains, and I decided to give up on trying to get any more sleep.
I ripped the towel off of me and was about to put my feet on the floor and there it was. Staring
back at me as if I were invading his turf was an over sized, nasty, grey rat. “OH MY GOD!”
I screamed as I jumped up and stood on the bed, unsure of what to do if he were to start
climbing up. I let out another loud scream as it raised itself up with its beady little eyes staring,
making it scurry off under the bed. This was even worse; now I couldn’t see the damn thing.
I jumped off the bed and collected my belongings faster than I even realized I could. I threw on
a jacket before making a mad dash for the door, slamming it behind me. “Holy shit, that was
gross,” I said breathlessly. I took a moment to compose myself, and to think about what to do
next. I was not going back into that room. That was for certain.
“Are you looking for a place to stay yet?” I heard his familiar voice from afar. I peeked over the
railing, and there he was standing with his arms crossed, wearing a sexy grin, faded jeans, and a
tight white tee.
