Secret identities, second chances, drama, desire: It’s all going down in Miami Beach in this tantalizing novel from the bestselling author of Pull Me Close, which was hailed by Aurora Rose Reynolds as “a heart-gripping story about . . . the power of love.”

April: Walking away from Matt Moreno was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Lying to him was a close second, but for his safety, I had no other choice. I was undercover, working to put some nasty people behind bars. But when Matt nearly recognizes me on Lincoln Road a year later, all those very real feelings come rushing back. Now that my assignment’s almost over, will he understand why I lied? Why I had to leave? Most important, can he ever forgive me?

Matt: I was madly in love with June Simpson . . . or, at least, with the woman I thought was June. Then she just disappeared while my family’s nightclub went through hell. And after months of searching, when I think I’ve finally found that sexy, raspy voice and those exquisite blue eyes, she slips away once more. Turns out, “June” is actually Detective April White. She’s been playing me the whole time. And she’s about to rock my world all over again.

After reading Pull Me Close I was so excited to get my hands on Make Me Stay , I got the chance to read an ARC of this book and I literally flew through this book ! Make Me Stay was fantastic .We follow April and Matt and Its safe to say that thing are really complicated between these two .We find out that April was one of the police officers that was involved in taking down Matt's father and putting him in prison , so all this time while they were getting to know each other all of this was happening , she even gave a him a different name ( June ) and then when things started to get really crazy she vanished, however when she appears again in his life and he find what she did ,she apologizes and lets just say it was not well received, however after this April is viciously attacked and cant remember what happened and Matt has to take care of her , this is really where this book picks up .

I loved that we got to to see Matt and April when they first meet and Matt and April after everything and happens it makes you see things in whole new light and also completely understand all the characters reactions and feelings towards each other. I thought the romance was excellently done it was sexy , addicting and at the same very raw nothing felt rushed , or glossed over , it was just fantastic, forgiveness is something that is focused on a lot in this story and I just loved that , It felt like April and Matt got a blank slate to start over in many way s , because what happened between them the first time had to be so very difficult to over come , but this book reminded me that love finds away no matter what and this is the case for Matt and April , I got so invested in this couple and literally did a happy dance when I read just how perfect the ending to there story is . Make Me Stay was a sexy , heartwarming contemporary romance and I cannot wait to get my hands on book 3 in this series. Sidney Halston ,If you are reading this and would like to send me a copy right now that would be amazing lol.If you love all these things in your stories you should definitely go pick up a copy of Make Me Stay as soon as you can .

RATING

5/5 STARS

“Slide over, will ya? I need to order a drink.” He sounds as if he’s already had enough drinks and doesn’t need another one. I’m about to tell the guy where he can stick his drink when I see her reach into her purse and pull out her phone. I’m mesmerized. What is she doing? The jerk is staring at her, waiting for her to move, but she’s reading a text instead, completely ignoring him.

But then the man makes the wrong decision. He grabs her elbow and pulls her up from the stool.

“Hey! Get your hands off me!” she shrieks. Her eyes, a piercing light blue that’s almost translucent, glare at the man.

“Is everything okay?” I ask loudly, to be heard over the music.

“Miller Lite,” the guy has the fucking nerve to call out.

But she speaks over him. “No. Everything’s not okay. This guy grabbed me.”

“Calm down, honey. You’ve been sitting here all night. Some of us need room.”

“Well, you could say ‘excuse me.’”

“And you can move your fat ass,” he spits back. “It’s not like you need any more drinks.” At that, her mouth opens wide and she gasps. From what I can see there is nothing fat about this woman, but even if there was, the guy’s totally out of line. With both palms on the bar I lean forward and get in the man’s face. “Outta my bar—” But I don’t have a chance to finish before she lifts her glass, stands up, and slowly and deliberately pours the entire drink over the guy’s head, olives and all.

Swear to God—swear to fucking God—all the lights, the music, and the people dancing come to a screeching halt as she slams her empty glass on the table and calmly sits back down. “Another martini, please,” she says sweetly, batting her lashes.

Fucking spectacular.

I think I might be in love.

PULL ME CLOSE

USA Today bestselling author, Sidney Halston lives her life with one simple rule: "Just Do It"--Nike. And that's exactly what she did.

After working hard as an attorney, Sidney picked up a pen for the first time at thirty years old to begin her dream of writing. Having never written anything other than very exciting legal briefs, she found an outlet for her imaginative, romantic side and wrote Seeing Red. That first pen stroke sealed the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Sidney lives in South Florida with her husband and children. She loves her family above all else, and reading follows a close second. When she's not writing, you can find her reading and reading and reading. She's a reader first and a writer second. When she's not writing or reading, her life is complete and utter chaos, trying to balance family life with work and writing (and reading). But she wouldn't have it any other way.
