"Stay With Me" by Jody Hedlund

About the Book

Sacrificing and dying to oneself is costly.

But doing so brings new purpose and joy.

As a private investigator, Sybil Huxham has seen her fair share of strange occurrences. But nothing in her career has been more perplexing than the miracles she’s witnessed as a result of people drinking ancient holy water. When she discovers more of the rare holy water, she experiences strange overlaps with a nobleman in the Middle Ages who is languishing in a dungeon, accused of treason and condemned to die. To save his life, she finally crosses to the past completely.

Nicholas Worth has never met a woman quite like Sybil, and as the two run for their lives into the Weald, they find refuge among a community of outlaws. With both their reputations on the line, they have little choice but to marry. As they get to know each other, an undeniable attraction develops. But danger and disease chase after them, drawing ever closer. Will they be able to escape the threats? And will Sybil choose to stay with Nicholas in the past, or will she be ripped apart from him forever?

My Thoughts

I was surprised at first to find out this book was about Sophia since she always seemed sort of sceptical about the Holy Water in the other books in the series. It was fun to experience the medieval period with her and see the chemistry between her and Nicholas. I liked Nicholas from the previous book, but I didn't want him to end up with Ellen because she belonged with Harrison, so it was nice to see him find his own romance. I found the book to be well written and had a nice flow. I think this was my favorite of the series so far. There were things I didn't expect and I can't wait to find out some answers to questions that came up. I look forward to reading more books in this series as well as others by Jody Hedlund.
