Make Me Stay by Annabeth Albert
4.0
This book blew me away, and surprised me in the best ways possible. Going into this book I thought I knew how it was going to go, and nope, nope I did not.
Holden a former officer hurt on the job and utilizes a wheelchair. He is a sought after criminal justice professor and crime pod-caster. Holden is the guy that everyone goes to for help, he is steady, consistent and there. But he hides behind his humor and doesn't let his true feelings show.
When Cal comes into town to help with a dive and a case that Holden and Monroe are working on, sparks fly. And their "meet cute" is pretty amazing! After a series of events leaves Cal in town for a bit Holden offers for Cal to stay with him as a roommate for a while. Cal is quiet, reserved, and sort of a lone wolf. I don't know if I have read a character that has guarded his heart as much as Cal. This man has not had it easy, and hasn't had someone care for him or his heart in a long while so trust doesn't come easy.
Holden and Cal embark on a journey of discovery and wow. The beginning of their sexual relationship was so hot, but also sweet....these two have a really beautiful connection to one another. And written SO WELL!!! If you enjoy reading a found family, a little mystery, small towns, and some serious feels this series is a must read for you!
