Let Love Stay by Melissa Collins Book Review

Let Love Stay by Melissa Collins

Synopsis from Amazon

From the author: Let Love Stay is the sequel to Let Love In and has a HEA. For mature audiences only – for language and sexual situations.

If you’re lucky, you’ll fall in love – truly, madly and deeply in love. But what happens when that honest and pure love isn’t enough to erase your fears? What happens when your past rears its ugly head and threatens your future?

Maddy and Reid had that kind of love – the all-encompassing, Earth shattering, once in a lifetime kind of love. Then life happened. Old wounds that were thought to be long healed and scabbed over are ripped opened and they are forced to face the possibility that, maybe, they are not strong enough to fight their demons and embrace the light.

Together, they found out what love is, but now they will each need to heal on their own before they can ever be together again. They must face their fears and beat down their pasts in order to find their way through this crazy uphill battle called love.

They’ve let love in, but now, they need to find out how to Let Love Stay.

My review of Let Love Stay by Melissa Collins

So, you’ve probably read my review of Let Love In, Book 1. If not, read it now and then come back.

As soon as I finished Let Love In and found out it was a cliffhanger, I went to Amazon and bought Let Love Stay because I had to find out what happened to Maddy and Reid. 

Let Love Stay starts out where Let Love In ended, at the hospital. We follow Reid and Maddy as they go their separate ways and see how each of them handles the decisions that they have to make.

I have to say that what happens between Reid and his mother was heart wrenching, but truly needed to happen. My heart ached for him and what he had gone through with his brother. This book takes us on the journey of tragedy, loss and finally forgiveness.

Good things actually do happen in this book. 😉 Love prevails, shines and actually rejoices (I think) and there is a happily ever after.

The romance that started in Let Love In, can also be seen throughout Let Love Stay. It is definitely a book I recommend. I’ll put this is in the sweet romance category.
