Stay

Healing Hearts, Book 1

De: Tara Taffera

Narrado por: Jen Furlong

Loyalty to the past is safe. Love requires risk.

Emily is done chasing perfect. After her fiancé leaves over the one thing she cannot give, she’s determined to rebuild her life quietly, without heartbreak, without hope.

Jacob already lost everything once. When his wife walked away, he learned the cost of not being enough, and he refuses to go through that again.

But when Emily and Jacob meet, the connection is immediate, undeniable, and dangerous. Because the one thing that broke them before could destroy this too.

During a mission trip that changes everything, they’re forced to confront the truth they’ve both been hiding. They must decide if love is worth the risk of being left again.

Some wounds protect you. Others keep you from the life you were meant to have.

The question isn’t whether they’ll fall in love. It’s whether they’ll be brave enough to stay.

A tender love story

I absolutely loved this novel! Emily and Jacob’s story pulled me in right from the start. Both characters are beautifully flawed, carrying fears and insecurities that felt so real and relatable. Watching them slowly let their guards down and open up to one another was both heartwarming and heartbreaking at times.

I listened to the audiobook, and Jen Furlong’s narration was fantastic. She brought so much emotion to the story and made me feel every moment. Tara Taffera is such a talented author; her writing is heartfelt, authentic, and deeply engaging. This book had me rooting for Jacob and Emily every step of the way, hoping they could see that love is worth the risk.

A touching, beautifully written story that will stay with me for a long time. Five stars!
