Stay Forever | Kaylee Ryan



Declan


My whole world has revolved around caring for my baby girl. I never wanted to let anyone into my life—into our life⎯until Kennedy came to town and threw a wrench into my single-dad routine.


She’s the first woman to make me feel something… anything, in a long time. If only she would let me in.


Kennedy is kind, beautiful, and everything I never knew that I wanted. She looks at me as if I'm her entire world, and her bond with my daughter is something to see. But there’s a problem: she's leaving in a few weeks, and I need to find a way to ask her to stay.


Kennedy


My trip to Willow River came at the perfect time to escape. Taking care of my grandmother should be my whole focus. What I shouldn’t be doing is falling for a drop-dead-gorgeous single dad. But my meddling grandmother has other ideas.


Declan is impossible to resist. Everything with him is easy and feels right. We feel right. But the timing is all wrong⎯no matter how I wish I could change things.


He’s a forever kind of guy, but this isn’t my home, and he doesn’t know what he’s asking when two words change everything… “stay forever.”



My Thoughts:


So, I know I'm supposed to tell you how much I love Declan and Kennedy -- don't get me wrong, I do, but another character stole my heart. Declan's daughter, Blakely, is an absolute doll and I loved seeing her fall in love with Kennedy as much as Declan.


Kennedy's husband was so cold and cruel. He definitely did not deserve her love. Once she comes to Willow River, we get to see her blossom into such an authentic version of herself. She is warm, friendly, and loves with all she has. When she helps bring Alyssa into the girl group, I felt this really displayed her sense of character -- and it was amazing.


Declan is *swoon*! The way he loves his daughter is everything any woman can hope to find in the father of their child. Even though he has a large support network, he adamantly demands that he does as much for Blakely himself as possible. His work ethic, dedication, and big heart makes him the perfect balance for Kennedy.


Kaylee Ryan delivers us another couple who is complete #GOALS! Her ability to give them realistic faults, while maintaining some of the best qualities that we, as readers, can ask for, is something she does best. She is fantastic at using the supporting cast to make us laugh and cry, while also foreshadowing future books. This is definitely going to be a series that has hard copies of the books on my personal bookshelf!


I received a complimentary ARC for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own!
