Stay With Me in the companion novel to Come Back to Me, and is written by Mila Gray, which is the pseudonym of young adult author Sarah Alderson (Fated series: Fated, Severed, Shadowed) that she is using for her more adult-themed works. Stay With Me definitely is more of an adult themed novel, as it is a steamy, slow-burn romance between Noel, a wounded Marine, and Didi, a young psychology intern at a military hospital.

The story is also a love triangle, as Didi has a boyfriend, Zac, who is working out of town for the summer. Until Didi started her psychology internship where she meets Noel, she thought that Zac was the man for her.  But sparks fly when Didi begins working with Noel, and their forbidden romance grabs the readers and will not let go.

The novel is filled with issues of PTSD, the struggles of wounded warriors and their families, the complications of prior romantic commitments (Zac and Didi), and the ethical ramifications of medical provider / patient romantic relations (Didi and Noel).

This steamy romance is a page turner best suited for juniors, seniors and college students.
