There's something about how some authors can make you love what you generally wouldn't choose. Liz Johnson definitely fills that role for me. All the swoony romance I usually avoid... if Liz writes it, bring it on. Probably because she writes such great characters and stories that make the story so much more than guy meets girl and hearts and flowers ensue.

I absolutely loved Sometimes You Stay. The awkward guy. The broken girl. The confidence that he knows who he is, even as he doubts himself. The determination to keep living her best life, far away from her past. The unexpected love that makes them both confront their personal demons. They have related problems--each rooted in very different situations. And the way Johnson shows that contrast in the similar--beautiful.

Oh, yeah. and the audio is brilliant. :)

Sometimes You Stay by Liz Johnson

He was never going to leave the island, and she wasn't going to stay. But if she walked away, she would always wonder . . .

For digital content creator Cretia Martin, home is wherever her carry-on suitcase lands. And it's constantly landing in new places as she travels the world. She's never been interested in settling in one spot--after all, houses are just places that collect junk and tie you down. But when she literally bumps into local dog breeder Finn Chaffey on Prince Edward Island and all the tools of her trade end up in the harbor, she can't exactly leave until she gets things sorted out.

Finn is horrified by the part he played in the accident and offers to help, arranging for Cretia to stay with a friend at the beautiful Red Door Inn. The longer Cretia is forced to remain in one place, the more she discovers what she's been missing with life on the road--and the more she wants to see Finn and his business succeed. But helping him means staying put, the one thing she always swore she wouldn't do, and risking the only thing she's never put on the line--her heart.
