Home to Stay (An Anchor Island Novel) Kindle Edition

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.

Product description

Review

“I don’t think that there is a more appealing hero than the Teddy Bear type, especially if they are ‘large enough to deserve his own zip code’ like Randy Navarro. Terri Osburn definitely got my attention when she wrote him into the story!” ―Leigh Davis, Heroes and Heartbreakers.com

“Another cute, romantic trip to Anchor Island…A hugely enjoyable read.” ―Fresh Fiction

“If you’re looking for a sweet contemporary with a little bit of intrigue…look no further. This…will leave readers longing for an oceanfront bar to hang out in.” ―RT Book Reviews (4 stars)

From the Publisher

As a romance reader, you might be used to losing yourself in the lives of beautiful, rich, and powerful people. I certainly have—countless times. Let’s face it, we all enjoy a good fantasy. But with Home to Stay, you get to experience a story that is grounded in reality yet still allows for escape. As I sit at work in Seattle, where it’s raining, I think about the idyllic island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina that Terri Osburn has created. Her writing brings warmth, depth, and a touch of laughter to obstacles that could challenge any one of us.

For Willow, bartending on Anchor Island is just the right refuge for hiding from her past. She certainly wasn’t looking for the complications of a relationship with Randy, the local fitness-club owner, to keep her there. But soon Randy becomes the anchor that holds Willow down (in a good way), and we get caught up in their sexy blossoming romance. I was also drawn to the tight island community that bands together and is willing to embrace an outsider as their own.

Terri was advised early in her career that romance books about everyday, ordinary people don’t sell. I’m glad she didn’t listen and instead stayed true to her path and her passion. A stroll on the beaches of Anchor Island is an escape I’d happily take. For your next break, immerse yourself in Terri’s charming small-town world, filled with characters who will walk straight into your heart.

Have read all the 4 books in this series and thoroughly enjoyed. However, with this book, the incorrect spelling of "navel" really stood out, and ruined the sections where it was used.

Home to Stay is the third book in this series, and I've read all three. The author was new to me when I started the first book, Meant to Be. I enjoy the writer's descriptive style and her character development. The people feel authentic and the variety of characters can be tracked through the books because they are memorable. A few new characters were introduced in this book, leading me to believe that there will be additional volumes in this series and I look forward to reading them.

There is a very minimal bit of profanity, which doesn't bother me, but the most conservative readers may want to skip this one. I also have to say that the word I especially noticed was appropriate to the personality of the character and the discussion/situation.

I was looking forward to reading the story with these particular lead characters, as soon as I got a chance to read the synopsis for the "soon to be released" book on book discussion websites. I am so happy that it was offered as one of the Kindle First program choices for $1.99 during April, so that I have already been able to read it and write this review.

The characters from the first two books continue to play a role in the plot during this book. I enjoy it when previous characters are still in the mix, since their stories are what drew me along to this point in the continuing plotline. The previous leads have new events in their lives happening in this third book, because there is a nice sense of community on the island. There is enough conflict to be realistic, and enough steady and enjoyable to be a fun read.

Bereits nachdem ich den ersten Band gelesen hatte, konnte ich die Veröffentlichung von Band 2 auf Deutsch nicht erwarten. Somit las ich erst die englische Version und später auch noch die deutsche. Ebenso habe ich nun die englische Version von Band 3 gewählt, was sich sowohl inhaltlich als auch was das Auffrischen meiner Englischkenntnisse betrifft voll gelohnt hat. Nun warte ich auf die deutsche Version.

1.0 out of 5 stars Más de lo mismo.
Reviewed in Spain on 12 September 2014

Tengo que dejar de leer este tipo de historias: pueblo pequeño, donde todos se conocen, donde todos son hermanos, primos o vecinos entrometidos y todos piensan que la vida de los demás es asunto suyo…este tipo de historias tiene su público pero yo no pertenezco a él…
La historia me parece igual a otra de tantas que ya he leído, nada nuevo, nada diferente, siempre lo mismo, predecible al máximo, con un guión preestablecido que se sigue al pie de la letra, en fin, aburrido. Y muuuuy repetitivo…perdí la cuenta a la décima vez, de cuantas veces nos recordaba la autora que el protagonista era un tipo grande…por dios…llegó a compararlo con Hulk! O de cuantas veces nos repetía que ella huía de su pasado…lo cogí a la primera…no hay necesidad de repetir tanto las cosas…cansa al lector…
Lo peor es que cuando la historia termina, nadie, ni siquiera la autora, puede explicar las acciones de los protagonistas, porque suceden las cosas cuando suceden y no antes? Pues sencillo: no habría habido historia.
Es ridículo montar un libro sobre la base de que una persona tiene (palabra clave: tiene) que huir de su pasado cuando la solución estaba al alcance de su mano en el mismo momento en el que empezó la huida y hubiese sido igual de efectiva (si lo llega a ser, porque la autora también se olvida de cerrar ese capítulo…o es que habrá una segunda parte?) Ni idea, pero es ridículo.
Aunque no había leído los libros anteriores, no ha sido necesario para entender esta historia, eso sí, me alegro de no haberlo hecho porque lo poco que he leído de las protagonistas de las dos historia previas (es una pena que no se escriban personajes femeninos interesantes) es para llorar…”metomentodos” y bipolares…
En fin, que no ha sido santo de mi devoción…
Sorry…
