Here to Stay

By: Suanne Laqueur

Narrated by: Vanessa DeSilvio

"You can't sort of do this, Fish. Draw a line and get on one side or the other."

Love is never so sweet as when it receives a second chance. In the sequel to her award-winning novel The Man I Love, Suanne Laqueur continues the story of Erik Fiskare's romance with Daisy Bianco. Though separated for 12 years, the extraordinary bond forged in their youth has endured. But when your soulmate has caused you indescribable pain, how easy is it to forgive? How much trust is needed to place your heart back into the hands that once broke it? How much faith does it take to ask the question, "Do you still want me?" and believe in the reply: "I still want us."

Erik and Daisy commit to creating a new life together. They are separated by geography, loyal to career commitments, and burdened with lingering pain from a decade spent apart. Yet despite the challenges, Erik knows Daisy is the best thing to happen to him twice. Slowly Erik earns back Daisy's love, as well as the trust of his incomparable friend, Will Kaeger. Both relationships grow deeper and more complex, as do Erik's ties to the past. Unexpected contact with distant cousins offers new insight to the cruel childhood desertion that shaped so much of Erik's adult life. With Daisy at his side, he travels back to his hometown to meet his people, explore his family's history, and learn about the men who wore his heirloom necklace before him.

The cathedral once torn down is rebuilt. But a love affair is never a finished thing. Life is never without its tragedies. Daisy and Erik soon face a threat more harrowing than gunfire, more sorrowful than the lost years. With Will at his back and family close by, Erik must fight for the things he once walked away from and prove his love is here to stay.

what a ride...

I absolutely loved this epic story!! All 3 books have been a really life changing, heartbreaking, consuming, thought-provoking experience!!

The feels!

A continuation of Erik and Daisy's life unfolds in this book, where they both struggle with insecurities. Daisy battles the fear of abandonment by Erik, while Erik confronts the challenges of infertility. Their journey had some heart-wrenching moments, yet in the end, I was satisfied with their conclusion.

This is love

Intense, real, impossible to put down. I felt every emotion. I cried so many times with Erik and thought I would never forgive Daisy or David. I loved the maturity and growth of the characters. This is the best book I have read/listened to in years.

The Perfect Conclusion

Here to Stay was the perfect conclusion for The Man I Love...this was an enjoyable series.

Wow!!
