Publisher's summary

Willow Parsons’s two new best friends are getting married, putting her squarely on the sidelines of romance - which suits her just fine. After the nightmarish situation she escaped from, featuring the ultimate Mr. Wrong, she is more than happy to spend her days slinging drinks in Dempsey’s Bar & Grill, and her nights alone. But her Anchor Island refuge has just one catch: muscle-bound charmer Randy Navarro.

Everyone in town knows that Randy, owner of the local fitness club, is a giant teddy bear. Everyone, it seems, except for Willow. He’s convinced that her avoidance is more than just playing hard to get, and is determined to uncover the secrets that shadow her lovely eyes. But when old fears are dragged into the light, can Randy get Willow to stay and fight for their love...or will she take flight, leaving him and Anchor Island behind?

Home to Stay is a charming, romantic tale about following your heart to find where you belong.

Awesome!

A little action, a lot of love, and past character follow up...by far my fav in the Anchor series. The books all tie in well together which is important to keeping me happy. Just wish Randy had the opportunity to get his hands on Jeremy :-/...oh well...maybe in another book.

Fab

Another great addition to the Arbor series! Quiet Randy takes interest in Wilow who has a mysterious past. Time spent together pushes them closer and love develops !

Love the Anchor Island Series!

Wish the serious didn't have to end. Willow's storyline was very unexpected which made the Anchor series that much more intriguing to read.

Don't Judge a Book by its Cover

This is the perfect example of finding an author I would never have "found" except that I sat across from her at a recent Author/Reader Conference. Her covers were attractive and intrigued me, but struck me as sweet romance--of which I'm not a huge fan. But when I looked her up on Amazon, I discovered she writes contemporary romance in much the same vein as I do. The kind of book I love to read.

This is a typical "starting over" trope, one of my favorite themes. Heroine Willow Parsons is trying to find a new life after running away from an abusive relationship. Hero Randy Navarro unfortunately is the same kind of big, muscular man who hurt Willow--but only in appearance. The way the man whose size "commands its own zip code" wins over her heart is a wonderful reading adventure.

Highly recommend this book to anyone who loves contemporary romance with just enough spice to keep your blood pumping. I listened to this book on Audible, and Amy Rubinate did an outstanding job.

Lovely story

I've loved to follow the story since book one and each book has been captivating and left me wanting more. Now I want to keep listening to the next book so I can see what happens and discover who the next couple is and what they have to go through to conquer their love.

If you like Romance Terri Osburn is a MUST Read!

What made the experience of listening to Home to Stay the most enjoyable?

The author is a brilliant story teller. She is up there with the best authors.Fantastic characters and setting. Nail biting conflict and strong emotions.One sympathises deeply with the hero and heroine and they are such a good match. If you've read the first two books in the series it feels as if you're part of the island community yourself.

What other book might you compare Home to Stay to and why?

Something about Terri's writing reminds me of Susan Mallery... perhaps her sense of humour.

Which character – as performed by Amy Rubinate – was your favorite?

Oh Randy the Hero is wonderful. Although I adored Willow, the heroine too.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When her past catches up with her at the worst possible moment.

Any additional comments?

I look forward to Terri Osburn's next book. I've read the first wonderful three.

Home to Stay

It's a wonderful story, good job. I'm ready for the next book in this series. This has been great, all the Characters were very likeable. I loved Sid and her love of her life. Willow was a surprise Character, she hid things pretty well , I'm so glad everything worked out for her and Randy . I recommend all your books. You are a good writer.
