About this listen
April
Walking away from Matt Moreno was the hardest thing I've ever done. Lying to him was a close second, but for his safety, I had no other choice. I was undercover, working to put some nasty people behind bars. But when Matt nearly recognizes me on Lincoln Road a year later, all those very real feelings come rushing back. Now that my assignment's almost over, will he understand why I lied? Why I had to leave? Most important, can he ever forgive me?
Matt
I was madly in love with June Simpson...or, at least, with the woman I thought was June. Then she just disappeared while my family's nightclub went through hell. And after months of searching, when I think I've finally found that sexy, raspy voice and those exquisite blue eyes, she slips away once more. Turns out "June" is actually Detective April White. She's been playing me the whole time. And she's about to rock my world all over again.

I thought I could enjoy a night out like a normal person. I thought I could handle the flashing lights, the pulsing music, the crowded dance floor. I couldn't have been more wrong. After having an anxiety attack and passing out during my sister's engagement party at Panic, I wake up in the arms of the hottest guy I've ever seen. Nick Moreno's no gentleman. But he might just be the man I need to help me take control of my life.

It was just supposed to be a regular Thursday afternoon...and then he saw her. Sitting in seat L214, one seat over from his at the baseball game, right next to her douche of a soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend. An impromptu kiss for the kiss cam, and Jax knew his life would never be the same. Five years and a tour in Afghanistan later, Jax is back stateside running his own private security firm, Iron-Clad, with his best friend. He isn't the man he used to be...but Megan isn't the sexy and sweet though sheltered 22-year-old he left behind, either.

Story
Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision. But worst of all? He knows it. He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next. I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett.

Story
The average song is three and a half minutes long; those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia. At the height of my career, I had the life I wanted, the life I’d always envisioned. I’d found my tempo, my rhythm. Then I received a phone call that left me off key. You see, my favorite songs had a way of playing simultaneously. I was in love with one man’s beats and another’s lyrics. But when it came to the soundtrack of a life, how could anyone choose a favorite song?

Donovan and I met at a coffee shop to do the suitcase exchange. Turned out, it wasn’t just his voice that was sexy. The man holding my luggage was absolutely gorgeous, and we had an immediate spark. He got me to admit that I’d snooped in his bag and then convinced me to make it up to him by letting him buy me coffee. Coffee led to dinner, dinner led to dessert, and dessert led to spending an entire weekend together. So what did I do to repay him for his kindness? I waited until he was in the shower, then ghosted him.

I'm used to being in charge. In and out of the office. So, when my parents go behind my back and hire a co-CEO to help me manage my family's business, let's just say I don't take it too well. Especially not when the woman they've hired is the one girl who hated my guts in college. She thinks I'm an overprivileged, womanizing man-whore. I think she's an uptight, stuck-up bitch. And now she's here, in my office, telling me how to run my company. I don't think so.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

They say that all men are created equal. Well, that’s a blatant lie! I know, because I met God's gift to women in Vegas; I pretended he was my husband to get rid of another man. He took our fake marriage seriously, and it became his personal goal to consummate. He spoke to me in French, and I lied to him in German. His laughter was addictive. But I thought what happens in Vegas would stay in Vegas. Until it didn't.

The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview. Well, technically, I’d met him 20 minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment. I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut. As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss. Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought.... Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

Something inside me snapped as her text screamed from the screen of my phone. My heart started pounding as I was instantly sucked into a vortex of emotions, pulled unwillingly into a past I desperately wanted to forget. Teagan Tessler was the love of my life; at least, I thought so. My professional soccer career was part of the future we had planned together, but an offer sent me to London a year ahead of schedule. Just months after I left, she married my best friend Jensen without explanation, leaving me completely and utterly destroyed by the two people I loved the most.

Teagan Tessler was the love of my life; at least, I thought so. My professional soccer career was part of the future we had planned together, but an offer sent me to London a year ahead of schedule. Just months after I left, she married my best friend Jensen without explanation, leaving me completely and utterly destroyed by the two people I loved the most.

Fantastic book!!!

Make Me Stay was very different from the first book, though it took place at the same nightclub in Miami. The story is told in two parts, the first in flashback, the second present tense. When Matt met June Simpson at his club, he was instantly intrigued by her. Working two jobs, both as an attorney and at the club, he had no time for relationships, but June made him re-think it all.
“You have a dirty mouth, Mr Moreno.”
“Woman, my mouth is the least dirty part of me.”
June was keeping secrets, we know that. She actually kind of sucked at it, but Matt was so enthralled, he never noticed. You see, June is an undercover cop. (I would not have revealed this, but it’s in the blurb.) Her name isn’t even June, but she still fell for her mark.
“Whatever happens, remember this. This is me and you. This is real.”
When Matt’s dad gets arrested (and so does he for a bit) and everything falls apart for them, June disappears. The love of his life is gone, and he has no idea what happened. Private investigators find nothing. Until Matt finds out on TV that June is actually April, the undercover cop responsible for putting his dad in jail.
“I know this doesn’t mean anything to you, Matt. But I wasn’t lying when I said I love you. I still do.”
“Yeah, well, I (bleep) hate you.”
Matt wanted nothing to do with her. Her disappearance changed him into an angry, stressed, confused guy, and he wasn’t going to have anything to do with the girl who destroyed him by lying to him then disappearing for a year.
Until something happened, and he had to see her again, because he’s a good guy. I have to say, while it was fun and kind of soap-operaish to read, I don’t really like when this trope is used, it’s just too unrealistic. (This is very hard to review without spoiling.) With this development came a few story inconsistencies, as well as what seemed to be a general personality change for April from cool, tough cop to whiny, unsure girl.
There were a lot of twists and turns to this story, and it was sexy and kept me turning pages but it wrapped up a little quick for me, and sadly didn’t live up to the first book in the series which quite honestly would be hard to beat.
Likes:
•Can completely stand alone easily.
•The fact that the heroine had Crohn’s disease.
•Lots of surprising twists and turns.
•Seeing some of the things we know about from the first book (like Nick’s ex) because the first part took place before.
•Kept me engaged and involved the whole time.
Dislikes:
•I never really liked June/April that much.
•A plot trope was used that I don’t care for.
•Some inconsistencies within the plot trope.
Narration:
Excellent narration, I loved the hints of cuban (Miami) accents that just made it even better. The narration enhanced the story for me.
The Down & Dirty:
Make Me Stay, the second in the Panic series, didn’t quite live up to the first for me, though that would be a really tough act to follow. Though I like Sidney’s writing style, there was a trope used in this story that I am just not really a fan of, and after so many realistically accurate details in the first book, I was surprised to find this type of thing in the next book. There were a few things that didn’t really add up to me, which made the trope work even less for me. But, the story kept me engaged and dying to know what would happen next. It was a very engaging read with excellent narration that I truly enjoyed, but never fell completely in love with.
Rating: 3.75-4 stars, 4 Heat, 5 Narration
