Publisher's summary

Includes all new songs and music. Written by Carrie Ann Ryan and sung by Meg Sylvan

The Wilder Brothers from New York Times best-selling author Carrie Ann Ryan continues with a secret romance that East and Lark never saw coming.

The world thinks I only write songs about my ex-boyfriends.

They study each lyric to point a finger at which man broke my heart—even if I’ve never met him.

Only the man I refuse to write about is the one who is so tangled in my mind that I know I can never be with him.

I had one night with East Wilder, and I know that’s all there will ever be.

He broke my heart without even trying.

Yet now I can’t seem to write a single verse, and I need a place to hide while I figure out who I am. The Wilder Retreat will have to be my refuge as the Wilders prepare for my best friend’s wedding.

And when I’m there, I refuse to fall for East again.

Even if the dark shadows in his eyes draw me in and the dangers of his past might be the one thing that forces us to finally give in.

Raw & Emotionally Charged

I enjoyed listening to Lark and East’s complicated and emotionally charged journey. It was a great collaboration between Aiden Snow, Meg Sylvan, and Marni Penning. The singing was unique and an unexpected bonus that brought an extra layer to Carrie Ann Ryan’s tale. I’m a huge fan of the Wilder family and this incredible series.

Not as good as the others

It was good but the singing ruined it for me. It was obnoxious and so fast you couldn’t even understand it. Without that it would have a good book.

Oh those Wilders!

Oh these Wilders are so good at keeping you on your toes, driving you a little batty, and stressing you out a bit. Also at stealing your heart and breaking it in more ways than one. But you just can’t get enough of them. East is the grumpiest of the Wilder men, but somehow Lark still finds a way to find his soft spot. Though he’s going through a lot, and there are definitely some moments that have you on edge. And that ending! Let’s just say, I spoke my piece lol. Thankfully, we get another book soon! I also very much enjoyed listening to Aiden Snow and Meg Sylvan narrate this. Was quite enjoyable.

Wilder love swoon

The wilders always come with baggage but their love is true once they get out of their own way. East the loner/ handyman according to him though he a licensed contractor fell in love with Lark before he even met her through her songs. East survivors guilt held him back and found every excuse to hide his feelings for Lark but the chemistry between them even though the arguments is combustable. Push and pull feelings at it's finest but between East and Evan I don't know which one was worse and Lark was a strong woman to tolerate his outburst. But just as they was finding balance and trust between them East past that haunts his dreams becomes his reality with Lark caught in the crossfire. But we know the wilders know how to grovell. Carrie has written another great book but this one just had a more predictable twist cause it was introduced early in the story. Love love love the narrators with the added bonus of the song snippets was nice. Can't wait for the next book the little teasers Carrie leaves at the end of her books drives me crazy.

A must Listen

Wow this book gave me all the feels when I read it, but listening to it just wow.. I recommend this a must have and on my top 10 list for favorite audios. 2023

Such an easy story to get lost in!

Lark is trying to rediscover her writing roots and do what she loves. But she’s in a rut. East is going through the motions but he’s not really living. These two have a past and the chemistry is undeniable. What they thought was one thing, but wasn’t actually true. I enjoyed the connection Lark and East had. Their chemistry was palpable and the support they had for one another made me want them to work! And the narrators did a great job bringing these characters to life!

I loved Lark and East.

Lost and found hearts find their way home. I loved Lark and East. He's a curmudgeon afraid to expose his heart. She's a wanderer looking for a soft place to land. Ryan exposes the soul with a bittersweet rawness that lingers on ever page. Stay Here With Me turns unfinished love into a enduring love song. Ryan, Penning, Sylvan and Snow expose the heart from every angle. From the uncertainty of love, the yearning of heartache and the pain of loss, Ryan and Co. create magic.

Emotional and touching and I loved it!

Audiobook review:

The Wilder Brothers series continues with Stay Here With Me by Carrie Ann Ryan and I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook and loved it. Narrated by Aiden Snow and Meg Sylvan and they truly brought East and Lark’s story to life for me. And the songs. I just loved this narration.

The story was emotional and touching and I devoured it. The chemistry and connection between these two are off the charts, even through all their push and pull. The enemies turned lovers will pull you in right from the start. Their journey was not easy and it will make you feel so much, but you will root for them all the way through.

East is grumpy and hardworking and mostly stays to himself. Lark is gorgeous, brilliant, and always in the news as a famous musician. When she needs to get away, she goes to the Wilder Resort. I absolutely loved watching these two interact. Their banter was everything and sparks flew everywhere when they were together. What starts out as temporary suddenly becomes so much more. But can these two open up to each other before it’s too late? Another great read from Carrie Ann Ryan!

Happy listening!

Stay Here with Me

I really enjoyed this fifth book of the series, the characters are great and their story pulled me along with them.

The narration was so easy to listen along too.

Heartfelt, steamy and beautiful

Oh, how these Wilder Brothers have a place in my heart. “Stay Here With Me” is a heartfelt, steamy and emotional addition to the series.

Lark is a famous singer who has had the microscope on her for years. Every song is dissected while fans and critics try to figure out who it’s about. East Wilder is the self proclaimed “handyman” of the Wilder Retreat. When Lark needs a place to stay and be there for Elliott and Bethany’s wedding. But Lark and East have a past and both think a relationship can never happen between them. But as they spend time together, the lines start to blur.

I loved the tension between Lark and East. They had so much chemistry and it was just coming alive as I listened. Lark is in the public eye and has become accustomed to it. East is a private man, especially after serving time in the military. Both fought for themselves and eventually for each other once they realized they couldn’t escape each other and were meant to be. We get to see both be vulnerable and get to the point where they know they’re worthy of love and each other. The ending for them was perfect and the tease for the next book has me counting down the days!

Aiden Snow and Meg Sylvan were amazing as East and Lark. Aiden is always perfect at bringing the guarded and protective man. Meg blew me away with her performance as Lark who was trying to find her happiness. And hearing her sing Lark’s lyrics was a special treat.
