Publisher's summary

A best friend’s brother stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a girl who falls pregnant by the wrong man and the cowboy who takes her in…I've crushed on my best friend's brother for years.

He's a six-foot-three, dark-haired cowboy who works on his family's ranch and sends butterflies to my stomach anytime he looks at me. But he's never made a move, so I need to get over it.

Except, when he reads a text message about me liking a mysterious guy, he snaps and demands answers. Little does he know, it's my code name for him.

When he finally confesses he likes me too, I find out I'm pregnant. With my ex-boyfriend's baby.

After spending three weeks together in secret, my world turns upside down when that little white stick reveals a positive sign from the one-night stand I had before him.

Now everything's a mess and my life's spiraling out of control.

I can't expect him to date me anymore, so I insist we return to being friends. The last thing he needs is a girl who's carrying another man's baby and about to be a first-time mom.

But when my apartment gets broken into, and there's a suspected criminal on the loose, he insists I move in with him to keep me safe.

Staying platonic proves to be harder with each passing day as he goes with me to my appointments, takes me baby shopping, and stocks the kitchen with all my weird cravings. He's so involved that everyone assumes he's the father. And I don’t correct them.

But the truth always comes out in a Southern small town.

Stay With Me is book 2 in the Sugarland Creek series. Each book in this Southern, small town series is a stand-alone and ends in a happily ever after.

I love this book!

Lord knows I love a small town, cowboy romance! This is up there with the best of them! I'm loving this series! Brooke Montgomery is amazing. Tripp is such a sweet soul that's fighting anxiety with the loss of a friend. Magnolia is his calm in the storm. She has been pining for him (her best friend's brother) since high school. He has too, but it's never been the right time and it could complicate things if it doesn't work out. After many years they finally come together. Will an obsessive ex and accidental pregnancy ruin it for them? Aiden Snow and Savannah Peachwood Narrates and they are fantastic!

Emotional, steamy and swoony!

Oh the swoon is strong with Tripp Hollis! “Stay with Me” is an emotional, swoony and steamy friends to lovers romance that pulled me in with the emotional prologue and kept me there until the very end.

Magnolia has had a crush on her best friend’s brother, Tripp, for years. Magnolia is fun and flirty with him but Tripp has never made a move. It’s not until Tripp accidentally finds out that she’s been crushing on him and talking about him as code name. Tripp has been crushing on her too but has been holding back but once he knows that she feels the same, he’s all in. But before things between them can really get started, Magnolia finds out she’s pregnant with her ex’s baby after a one night stand before they got together. But Tripp isn’t put off by this and when there is a criminal on the loose and Magnolia is targeted, Tripp steps in instantly to protect Magnolia and prove to her he’s in for life.

I have a feeling that I’m going to be swooning over Tripp Hollis for a long time and I’m more than okay with that. His past with his best friend broke my heart and I was instantly drawn to him. Tripp is swoony, caring and I loved how all in with Magnolia he was from the very beginning once he knew that she felt the same. I love how he pursued her and made sure that she knew every moment of the day, that he was all in with her. Magnolia is such a fun character and I loved her from the beginning. She’s fun, caring and such a good friend. She’s besties with Noah but also shares a special friendship with Landen. I loved how close they were and their banter cracked me up. Magnolia and Tripp's chemistry was off the charts hot and I loved all the teasing moments that led up to them being together. Those spicy scenes were delicious and sizzling hot. The added suspense had me turning the pages as the rest of the story unfolded. The ending was so sweet and made me tear up. And the teaser for the next books has me counting down the days until it’s released.

Savannah Peachwood and Aiden Snow narrated this story and I love listening to them together. They complement each other so well and bring the story alive. Savannah was the perfect choice for Magnolia, she brought all of the emotions of becoming a mom and all the things her ex was putting her through. Aiden is always a favorite of mine to narrate a gruff and protective yet a caring and adoring cowboy.

Fantastic read!

I absolutely loved this story! It pulled me in from beginning to end and kept me engaged the entire time. Once I started reading, I didn't want to stop. Magnolia has been in love with Tripp for years, he's her best friend's brother, but he has never really given her the time of day. She's been with her toxic ex and she has ended it but ends up with one last one night stand with him that she vows never to repeat. Shortly after that, Tripp figures out some things and finally makes a move. Things are going well while they are together in secret at first, that is until Magnolia figures out that her last night with the ex left her pregnant. I loved watching the way that these two finally come together and figure things out. Once Tripp gets his stuff together and gives this a chance with Magnolia, he's gone for her. He is all in and there is no going back for him. He treats Magnolia so well and sometimes she doesn't quite know what to do with it. I loved watching these two figure it all out and be so cute together as well. I loved his unwavering support once he finally gave in, he was all in and it was awesome. I loved how he respected her boundaries but still showed his interest, care and love. Tripp has a dirty mouth and it was hot, hot, hot! In the absolutely best way! I loved all the antics that they get up to, along with the rest of the Hollis family. The story flows well and has a good balance that keeps the story moving forward without stalling out. It's great and I can't wait for the rest of the family's stories!
Narrators did a great job with the characters and the story!!

love love love

I absolutely love this book. Loved. This. Book.
I have yet to read the first in this series but believe you me I will be going back to that one. This book just had me. 😍

Tripp freaking Hollis. This man is pure gold. Definitely moved up my list on one of my favorite book boyfriends. He enraptured me in this book and made me not want to put it down. Such a cinnamon roll. So sweet and kind. Really just this well-rounded but real personality.

Magnolia is this sweet and feisty girl. Her ex-boyfriend is something else. But this girl is resilient and so unfiltered which I love about her. Her vulnerable side doesn't come out as much. I love watching the connection between two characters and the vulnerability that just exudes from them after that.

I don't know I'm just obsessed. I can't wait to go back and read book one. I can't wait to read book 3 in the future. If you love a small town romance, best friend's brother, and found family. Definitely dig into this one. Also if you're an audio lover this audio is it. I absolutely love the narration and the connection to the characters. So so good.

Swoony cowboy romance

It’s a brother’s best friend romance! Small town shenanigans, she’s pregnant but it’s not his, and lots and lots of pining.

I’m the biggest fan of cowboy romance but not one for surprise pregnancy. BUT, when she’s pregnant and it’s not his? I absolutely love it.

I loved the romance. It’s swoony and so cute. Their relationship is so sweet and mature, I loved it. The way he expresses his feelings and communicates his love for her makes me want to read this book all over again.

So so good!!!

Perfect narrators!!!

Tripp and Magnolia are irresistible. They have been secretly crushing on each other since high school. Years of flirting and finally one of Tripps brothers breaks the worst kept secret. Once these two stop there is no stopping them. When Magnolia finds out she’s pregnant with her ex’s baby Tripp never once stops loving her every step of the way.

I absolutely adored these two, and their chemistry was melt worthy. Who knew the quiet cowboy had such a dirty mouth while also a big old cinnamon roll. Tripp’s devotion and love for Magnolia was present in every single interaction with her from day one, and the pureness of it kept me hooked the whole time.

Okay do not let the audio of this book slip through your fingers! It’s a 5 star listen. Savannah Peachwood and Aiden Snow are the perfect cast for this amazing book!!

Tripp and Magnolia

We had a little bit of teaser for book 2 at the end of book 1 and while it made me more excited to see how this would play out, it was a totally different timeline than I expected. Tripp Hollis is an amazing book boyfriend! Tripp and Magnolia had some mutual pining for years but would never admit it. They both have had some terrible events in their life that shaped who they are.

When something changes and they finally admit to their feelings, we finally get to see Tripp and Magnolia as a couple. Tripp went from being anti relationship to being 110% committed to making it work. Magnolia was a fun heroine. She was sassy and wild and said what was on her mind. Together they were magic, they were so good together and I loved their interactions.

I did find it weird that the main trope that this book was promoted with, didn’t happen until much farther into the story. But when it happens, they both handle it with grace and maturity. Magnolia didn’t hide her pregnancy and just laid it all out there for Tripp while Tripp was already ready to step in as daddy.

The narration for this book was really good. The narrators were perfect for our main characters. I just love the way Savannah plays the sweet small town girl. Aiden absolutely slayed his performance, especially with the emotional prologue.

4.25 - 4.5 Sunny Stars! 💗🌻🤠

As soon as I found out that we were getting an audiobook for this story I couldn't wait! It's brought my heart such joy to revisit Sugarland Creek whenever I can and oh did it ever while listening to Stay With Me! This audiobook had my undivided attention right from the get go to the very end! I really enjoyed and adored this listen!

Having listened to both Aiden Snow and Savannah Peachwood before I was so happy that they were narrating Stay With Me! Both Aiden and Savannah had me hooked so quickly with their narration and I didn't want to stop listening to them. Both Aiden and Savannah captured the undeniable longing, all the heart, surprising moments, the heat that lit up my earbuds, the realness that got me right in the chest, the relatability, and the connection and love all in such perfect ways as Tripp and Magnolia! Savannah and Aiden were so fantastic with their narration and I loved what both of them brought to the story!

Magnolia runs her own coffee business and Tripp works on his family's ranch. These two have been in each other's lives for years as Magnolia is best friends with Tripp's sister, Noah. The thing is though, Magnolia has crushed on Tripp for the longest time. When a pregnancy and feelings shakes things up for Magnolia and Tripp, will these two finally get together?

Getting to experience Magnolia and Tripp's story again in this new way was such a treat for me! Being along for the ride as these two tackled not only their hearts truths for one another, but many things in their lives truly got to me. Once again, I went through such a range of emotions throughout listening and I loved that I felt so much!

It wasn't easy for Tripp and Magnolia when it came to everything between them as well as personal stuff which brought such realness that I felt every bit of. I adored the sides these two brought out in one another. Both Tripp and Magnolia were very relatable to me and I connected them. The chemistry these two shared was so great and such blushworthy goodness! Tripp had me swooning all over again with how he was with Magnolia.

When life opens your eyes and heart it can lead to so much which Tripp and Magnolia's journey sure showed!

Forever falling for this series and it's characters! Sugarland Creek, Tennessee is becoming one of my favorite places to be for sur I just adore the Hollis crew and their ranch. Just like with the first audiobook, the words painted such a vivid picture in my mind and that played out so wonderfully.

With Stay With Me, Ms.Montgomery has created such a wonderful and addictive listen that brought depth, heart, heat, and SO many feels! This author's words and characters hook this heart of mine every time. Aiden and Savannah were so fantastic with their narration and I can't wait to listen to more of them in the near future! I absolutely love this world and it's such a treat to dive back into. I am so excited for the third audiobook, Fall With Me! 💗
