Description

A deeply emotional, heart-stirring romance about finding home, healing, and love in unexpected places—set against the backdrop of elite ballet and the pulse of Boston’s music scene, and featuring stunning stenciled edges.

Rayne Bellamy came to Boston with one dream: to dance at the New England School of Ballet and honor her mother's memory. After losing her parents, the prestigious academy where her mother once studied feels like the only connection she has left to the life they shared. The fresh start she desperately needs proves harder than expected—until she connects with Easton, the singer who recently covered one of her father's songs.

Easton understands her like no one else in the world. In the house he shares with his band, surrounded by music and creativity, Rayne finds something like home for the first time in months. She feels safe with him, drawn to the way he sees straight through to her heart. The feelings he awakens in her are deeper and more genuine than anything she's ever experienced.

But Rayne is trying not to get distracted by the captivating musician whose band is on the verge of their big breakthrough. As she loses herself in his music, she faces an impossible choice: hold onto the path her mother set for her, or risk everything for a love that feels like coming home.

This was such a good story and I felt so bad for Rayne. She was dealing with so much after her parents death and I just wanted to give her a hug. I can't even imagine how hard it is to move on and figure out what to do after something like that. Easton was so sweet and was so understanding and supportive of her. They were able to grow together and it was adorable.

I received an arc through netgalley.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I absolutely loved this one.

Stay Here was such an emotional read, but it never felt overly heavy. Watching Rayne navigate her grief while slowly finding pieces of herself again felt so real, and I found myself completely invested in her journey from beginning to end.

Easton was exactly the kind of book boyfriend I love—patient, supportive, and always showing up when it mattered most. The relationship between him and Rayne developed so naturally, and I loved that their connection was built on friendship and trust before anything else.

The music aspect added so much to the story, and there were several moments that genuinely made me emotional. This book broke my heart a little, put it back together, and left me with the biggest smile by the end.

If you love emotional romances with great character growth, healing, and a romance that feels earned, definitely pick this one up.

Thank you so much to NetGalley for letting me reading a early copy of this book.

This book was a love story between these two characters. This story was written with so much love and heartbreak with the main female characters with the loss she went through. I’m glad she found someone before the event that she could see the good in what he was singing before they met in person and feel in love with each other. I’m so glad he was there for her through the hardest part of her life.

Stay Here by Anna Savas absolutely delivered on the emotions. This story pulls you in and makes you feel every moment right alongside the characters. The chemistry, the tension, and the emotional depth were all so well done.

The tropes were exactly what I hoped for, and the writing handled the heavier moments with so much care and authenticity. I found myself completely invested from start to finish, and I fully believe in this fated HEA.

If you love emotional romance with strong character development and all the feels, this one is definitely worth picking up.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

Heart-wrenching and healing.
I really enjoyed reading it because it felt comforting, emotional, and easy to connect with, and it’s the kind of book that stays with you after finishing.
