Stay Awhile

By: Gia Riley

Narrated by: Sarah Puckett

Life can change in the blink of an eye. And every choice can unravel more of the truth.

One split second decision after a lifetime of lies has created a world so confusing, happily ever after isn't guaranteed. Not even when the stars align and the pieces fit perfectly into the puzzle.

This time, I'll have to fight for love with a vice clamping my heart and a gaping hole swallowing my soul. Absence won't make the heart grow fonder.

Lies and deceit.
Broken promises and disappointment.
I know them all too well.
So far, the pain has won. But the pain doesn't have to be permanent.

Be ready for this story!

This friends to lovers story is one that will make you smile, laugh and cry all at the same time. Garrett and Megs get a chance at love under very unusual circumstances, and he doesn't leave anything to chance. This sweet and unexpected story has all of the feels especially with the ending.

Sarah Puckett did another fantastic narration job with this book.

BORING

it took all I had to get threw this entire book. it was so slow and Boeing and never picked up. the only interesting part was the end, which kinda made you think there should be a part 2, but there isn't, and I probably couldn't handle the boredom even if there was. I should return. definitely not worth a credit or $$

Stay Awhile

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Holy Cow what a good book! At first I didn’t know what the book was about since the blurb was a bit vague but after listening to this book I understand why. This book has every emotion you can feel in it and you connect to the characters so completely that you cry and fall with them. I am so happy to see a happy ending but am curious as to if there will be a continuation to the story. Must Read!

unique story

I personally loved this book. I thought it was quite unique in it's plot. I thought the characters were great. Some you loved, some you hated but either way, they made you feel. I was riveted and could not put this book down. The 2nd half of this book more so left my emotions in a tailspin. I sent more than a few rage-y messages as i was reading just trying to process my feelings and the story. That is the sign of a great book to me. I would LOVE to see this expanded on to see a 2nd book. I normally write reviews right away however this one took me a while to process my thoughts. What an ending!

Narration: Sarah did a fantastic job of narration. The narration itself was clear and a pleasure to listen to. The editing was clean and well done. I had zero complaints.

Twisty Turny

Gia, Gia, Gia...
To watch you and your writing grow over the years has been an absolute delight, and I'm so proud to be on the journey with you. It's such a pleasure to see you try out different styles, and different genres. From NA to YA, rocker books to pseudo mystery borderline erotica, and back to sweet romance with some big twists I've gobbled up every book with glee. Stay Awhile and Dr. Garrett and Megs certainly did not disappoint, even if you had me almost peeing my pants in anticipation or screaming out loud at your numerous twists and turns. Watching Laney bring everyone together as a family was so touching and beautiful but please tell me you have plans for more on this cast of characters?! I NEED more.

Sarah Puckett definitely did these characters justice, bringing them to glorious life in my imagination, giving them more nuances than when I had simply read them. I felt more emotion listening, and noticed different things as well. I look forward to listening to more of this amazing narrator.
