ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 14, 2023

The world thinks I only write songs about my ex-boyfriends.

They study each lyric to point a finger at which man broke my heart—even if I’ve never met him.

Only the man I refuse to write about is the one who is so tangled in my mind that I know I can never be with him.

I had one night with East Wilder, and I know that’s all there will ever be.

He broke my heart without even trying.

Yet now I can’t seem to write a single verse and I need a place to hide while I figure out who I am. The Wilder Retreat will have to be my refuge as the Wilders prepare for my best friend’s wedding.

And when I’m there, I refuse to fall for East again.

Even if the dark shadows in his eyes draw me in. And the dangers of his past might be the one thing that forces us to finally give in.

REVIEW:We are back with the Wilders! Stay Here With Me is the fifth installment in the Wilder Brothers series by Carrie Ann Ryan and this book is the story of the Grumpy East and Lark the song bird. For new readers, I do recommend reading the Wilder series in order, you can read SWM as a standalone, but the characters are much more rounded when you do.

East is the grumpy handyman of Wilder Events, it’s what he is known for. He is struggling and quiet, but always there when people need him. Lark on the other hand is free spirited, she loves her music, but she is for her new album, the inspiration just isn’t there. Lark is famous for her music, her songs on her relationships to be more specific, she has always used the same person as a muse for her music, but now things have changed. Now there is East.

When East and Lark spend one heck of a night together, filled with passion, the music she has struggled to find sparks to light. Too bad she promised East that he wouldn’t end up a song for the masses. The song is everything, and one of the best she has ever made, but when it gets released…well lets just say that East is not pleased.

There were parts of this book that I liked more than others, but the plot is good and the characters are always enjoyable to read. East is so broken, his trust is hard to win, Lark is good for him, but with his PTSD everyday is a struggle. This book is intense, the journey of these two us a turbulent adventure, but one readers will surely love.
