✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫

Another good book by this dynamic duo! I have to save I love the idea of Hailey's business and it made for a fun story line too! Matt & Hailey's story was sweet and playful and very sexy. I have a serious love for single dad's in books so I knew I'd love Matt from the beginning. I love that he is trying to be the best dad he can even if his ex doesn't always make it easy. This book left me feeling happy :)

The narration was 100X better than book 1 for me. They were perfect!

Great story however:

Great story however Lucy Rivers totally ruined it for me. I went into this story because of Jacob morgan but I have to say Lucy Rivers who did 3/4 of the narration was horrible. If they had used another GOOD female narrator this would have been a total 5 Star book. I don’t usually leave typed reviews but I just had to say something. All the reviews I read were giving her so much credit. After the second chapter I thought “you people have no idea what a good female narrator is.” Jacob morgan is the best actor I’ve ever heard on Audible and pray he doesn’t give up this job to other things. This man makes me feel every character he portrays, HE IS. So maybe listen to other samples of Lucy rivers before purchasing this book. I could hardly make it to the end. Don’t always listen to reviews. Do some homework before spending your hard earned money on a good book done bad by horrible narrators. Ok I’m done ranting. But oh!! Jacob morgan!!!!!!!

Male narrator is Awsome

5 stars to Jacob Morgan. Sorry to give zero stars to Lucy Rivers. I tried hard but could not listen to her. I skipped all her chapters.

Not impressed

This was $1.99 audio added to the $4.99 ebook, which makes it less than an Audible credit. Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy individually are two of my favorite authors. Together, they are phenomenal. That said, this is my least favorite collaboration of theirs. Even being my least favorite, I’d still give it 3 stars. Jacob Morgan was great as always.. I have mixed feelings about Lucy Rivers in this book. I found myself speeding up her parts to make it somewhat enjoyable. Performance rating is 5 for Morgan and 3 for Rivers.

Matt Ericksson is a hockey player (minutely mentioned in the Him/Us series and a little more in the first book of the WAGS series, Good Boy) who has been divorced for 18 months or two years or something that we’re not exactly sure because the number keeps changing. Hailey Taylor Emory is the owner of an online “personal assistant” service called “Fetch” and is also divorced.

Hailey becomes Matt’s assistant and they flirt online for a bit. When an emergency job requires a personal delivery to Matt and they meet in person, sparks fly.

It’s a cute story and overall enjoyable. Unfortunately, there’s some issues that really detract from the overall experience.
*there isn’t a consistent timeline. Matt’s twin daughters are 4 when he gets a divorce, they’re 4 throughout the book, and they’re 4 in the epilogue. Ummm...
*Hailey’s chat name is “HTE” which Matt mentally turns in to “hottie” in his mind. But even after they meet and spend time together ~ 90% of the time he continues to call her “hottie” instead of her name. It’s sort of cute occasionally, but it felt somewhat impersonal or dehumanizing or something “less than”.
*Hailey’s character is inconsistent. She’s a professional who owns her own business. Yet she’s a blubbering mess around Matt for 50% of their interactions. Like beyond a few goofy interactions to “why on earth does he find that appealing?” There’s even a chapter titled “Loss of IQ” and then she proceeds to lose her IQ. I’m not sure whether 100% of this is due to how she was written or how Lucy Rivers narrated her.

I do like how Matt & Hailey navigate life after divorce. There’s some angst ~ but it doesn’t feel too OTT. Matt’s interactions with his daughters is adorable. It’s definitely an HEA and the epilogue is precious.

I really enjoyed Him, Us, and Good Boy ~ but I’ll probably never listen to this again.

I’m a little disappointed that the book obviously set up for Will O’Connor for his own story, but two years later “Stay” remains the last book of this series.

WAGs for the win!

the second book in this series was not as good as the last but I still really liked it. I am not sure that I liked the female narrator as much though.

Thumbs down for female narrator.

The story is good, the male narrator is great. The female narrator does not work at all. Not only is her male voice absolutely terrible, but she reads very stiff and stilted. It takes you right out of the story. Super disappointing.

So Disappointed

Story 4.5-stars ***** Jacob Morgan as Matt 5-stars ***** Lucy Rivers as Hailey 1-star *

I really, really like this story. I'd 1-click any future books in this series. And I LOVE Jacob Morgan's narration. But I almost dnf 3-4 times because of Lucy Rivers as Hailey. My goodness she's awful. I skimmed through and/or read the most of the chapters she narrated. I will read anything Sarina and Elle write. I will listen to anything Jacob Morgan narrates. In the future, however, I'll avoid anything with Ms. Rivers.

Another amazing book!

I love every book I've ever read written by this dynamic duo and there is no exception with Stay. I loved getting to visit old friends (Wesme!!) from previous books.

Easy Listening

I loved the book and enjoyed the audiobook, too, although Mr. Morgan needs to work on his children's voices. The twins sounded garbled instead of child like.
