About this ebook

Shelly Hampton intends to spend the holidays alone in her family’s mountain cabin, but when a snow-covered stranger appears on her door-step, her plans are shot straight to hell. The man before her seems oddly familiar, and he stirs a dark need within her.

It’s soon apparent that John Smith is far more than a normal man—he’s too strong, too fast, and she could swear that he seems to read her thoughts…and know her most secret desires.

But is John a man that she could love…or is he someone she should fear? Because even as the snow fall deepens, a deadly threat is closing in on her little cabin. And soon, Shelly will be trapped on the mountain with a dangerous man…a man who swears that he has come back from the dead, just to be with her.

Ratings and reviews

I’m absolutely in love with this series and Stay With Me only solidified that for me. After experiencing so much loss over the past year, Shelly heads to her mountain cabin to find some peace and solitude. At the local bar she meets John who insists that they know one another. She assures him they do not but he doesn’t accept her answer easily or at all really. When he rescues her from several attempts on her life, the fear that overwhelmed her desire fades and she brings him into her home. John has no memories of his past except for the beautiful woman he’s been searching for. Now that he’s found her he can’t let her go, especially since someone is trying to kill her. Or is it him they’re after? This book has so many twists and turns in it. It was a wild and crazy ride filled with lots of drama, surprises and suspense as well as plenty of heat in true Cynthia Eden fashion. I love a hard alpha hero and I got that in John but I also got a hero that’s capable of showing vulnerability and I really loved that! Shelly was a perfect counterpoint to John. She’s strong when needed but able to yield when necessary. No wanting to throttle the heroine in this one. The next book up is Willow and Jay and I can’t express how much I’m looking forward to their story. These books can be read as standalones in my opinion but would be enjoyed much more if you start at the beginning. This is an honest review of an advanced copy provided by NetGalley and Hocus Pocus Publishing. Dual POV Safe No apparent triggers

The Lazarus Rising is still going strong with another great book from Cynthia Eden. John and Shelly are strong, captivating characters that readers can easily relate to and effortlessly become caught up in their romance which is full of sizzling chemistry that leaps from the pages and a roller coaster of emotional turbulence that grips readers by the heart. Along with the suspense of the romance, the story also trips all adrenaline junkie triggers with lots of danger, thrills, surprising twists that readers don’t see coming and devastating betrayals that keeps readers on the edge of their seat and glued to the pages. Once again, Cynthia Eden brought another book to life with vivid images that make it easy to picture the story as it unfolds and which brings the characters to vibrant life. I thoroughly enjoyed Stay With Me and I can’t wait to read Run to Me.

Wonderful Book. Read it within 2 days. Could hardly put it down. Kept me right on the edge of my seat anticipating what was gonna happen next. Love this book.
