Stay With Me by Becky Wade

Stay with Me is the first full length novel of A Misty Romance series. This books features Sam Turner and Genevieve Woodward. There was a prequel novel in which we meet Sam's best friend Eli but reading the prequel in not necessary to read Stay With Me. This book features three storylines. Genevieve was part of a group of church youth who survived a tragic event in South America. In this book there are short blips of each of the characters which I assume will be the basis for future books. Genevieve's older sister Natasha was also one of the miracle five. Genevieve is hiding a secret from her family, a secret that Sam quickly finds out when she accidentally crashes his guest house and takes a nap. Sam is not sure he can deal with her since it reminds him of something painful that happened to him in the past. You will quickly find out her secret that she is dealing with in the first few pages of reading this book. Genevieve's parents are also keeping a secret so Genevieve and her secret set out to find out what it is. This was my favorite part of the story since my favorite gene is suspense/mystery.

The reason I am not giving this novel five stars is because Genevieve annoyed me in much of the book. I just didn't like her personality but in the end I liked her better because she was able to be honest with everyone.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own. Thanks to Netgalley and Bethany House for providing me a copy. Watch for May 5 for publication of this novel.
