Kindergarten teacher Ava O´Connor has never had a relationship last long enough to sustain a houseplant, let alone the life she dreams of.

She thought she had found lasting love, but then she caught her fiancé cheating on her. With another man. On the satin sheets he had given her for their anniversary.

When Cole Stanton—a summer love from years ago and the only man who has ever made her blood burn—returns to town, he´s suddenly interested in rekindling old flames. But with her confidence shaken, she knows she can´t let him into her heart.

Fate seems to bring them together, but is their love strong enough to intervene when life threatens to tear them apart?

When not writing, USA Today Bestselling author Amanda Torrey enjoys spending time with her adult kids and her real-life hero. She loves reading, playing in nature/hugging trees, traveling, taking road trips (especially the kind that make everyone around her question her sanity), playing with her puppies, going to the movies, and binge-watching her favorite shows. Amanda is in love with elephants and castles and Scotland, and she is a true believer in happily-ever-after. She bursts into an instant good mood when people are unexpectedly kind or polite, and thinks there's nothing greater than connecting with a stranger through a smile. She loves meeting new people, and especially loves to hear from readers!

Stay is a contemporary small town romance. Although it is the second book in the Healing Springs series it is a wonderful stand alone read. Ava and Cole are a wonderful couple and you are hoping they will find a way to make their relationship work.

It has a wonderful ending, which I won't ruin by telling you about.

I highly recommend this book, and the entire series.

Another wonderful Contemporary Romantic read

A four star, light, lovely, and lusty read. The writer Amanda Torrey has chosen two more characters to develop in her Healing Springs series. Once again the small town backdrop is perfect. A definite love story that stands on its own. Can't wait to begin Book Three.

Another great Healing Springs love story

Cole and Ava were teenage sweethearts they each went their separate ways now some years later meet up again in a closet on a 3 minutes in heaven dare lol, Ava does not know it is Cole in the closet with her until he kisses her and oh wow what a kiss. Cole is still attracted to Ava and wants to pick up their romance again Ava tries hard to fight it but it is a losing battle and she can't resist a dare. This Healing Springs book 2 has the usual wonderful cast of characters I especially love the older folks and you will laugh sigh and truly enjoy this story. I love this town it had called my heart and I can't wait for more, sure hope some of the older generation find love also

That was pretty cute and a fast read, really couldn't put it down. I also like that we got to see more people that the books will be about. This is one of those light heart series that you really can't get upset about, just wish for a little bit of out of left field drama still

Stay is a great romance

It was perfect blend of words that makes the book as interesting as it tells about love finding it's way through the obstacles that had prevented it the first time.
