Stay is once again another collab that’s written by some of my favorite Hanfic authors so of course again I was bound to read it because I can rarely turn down a story written by Calla or Diamond.
Stay didn’t disappoint me either. It’s a slow burn Zaylor story that starts off with Zac leaving his wedding to Kate. An action that eventually leads everyone’s lives at some point in the story to skid out of control, maybe going a bit farther out of control once Taylor heads to where Zac lives..or well it goes a bit farther out of control for certain characters namely Natalie who even when she was a bitch, I could understand why she was one and I found myself feeling sorry for her.
But Zac and Taylor when meeting again descend into a slow burn romance that continues to keep building until the very end and I think the slowness of everything was probably my only con with this..well that and sometimes Zac and Taylor seem to dependent on each other but in some weird way they still work.
I have to say my surprise favorite character in all of this was probably Kate who hits rock bottom the hardest thanks to Zac’s actions but it was nice to see her healing at the end and coming to some sort of weird friendship with Zac when he returned back to Tulsa. I can only hope in the sequel that she continues to heal and helps Natalie who thanks to her marriage ending seems to be like how Kate was at the beginning of the story. I may also oddly ship Kate and Natalie in this so it will be interesting to see how they develop in the sequel when I get around to reading it.
