ARC BOOK REVIEW: Ask Me To Stay by Elise K. Ackers

Ask Me To Stay by Elise K. Ackers
Genres: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: Apr 10, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥

When family tragedy brings bad boy Ethan Foster home, he doesn't expect a warm welcome. In the small town of Hinterdown reputation is everything - and Ethan's was ruined long ago. Nobody wants him around, particularly not Sam O'Hara, the girl he left behind.

There's still a powerful spark between them, but Sam is afraid to risk her heart again. And Ethan is hiding a secret that will have repercussions for his whole family. Will the townspeople ever forgive him? More importantly, will those he loves the most find it in their hearts to take him back?

This tender tale of love and redemption is the first in a brilliant new series by Elise K. Ackers, author of Small Town Storm and the bestselling The Man Plan.

 My Thoughts

I requested this book because of the cover and title.. but dang it, I'm  quite disappointed with this!
The plot was boring... I thought this was going to be a romance book (with the obvious title and cover)  but wow... I was wrong. The story line is more focus on Ethan and his relationship with the family. Now- I'm not against in this kind of theme... but really.. the cover and title was misleading.

If you're looking for a romance book, this is not for you. I recommend to read her other books like Unforgettable and the Man Plan.

Well... I don't really know what else to say other than this is not my cup of tea. I don't want to rant so I'm just going to just stop now. lol.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

About the Author

Elise K. Ackers was born in New South Wales, Australia, but she grew up in Western Australia, northern Queensland, Sydney's Blue Mountains, and the Victorian Dandenong Ranges. Suffice to say, she enjoys change and likes to travel.
​
Elise was a storyteller before she was a writer. For hours on end she would recount every moment of her kindergarten days to her mum, pausing often for dramatic effect. She would help her dad finish bed-time stories - sending the family dog and cat to the moon, amongst other adventures. And almost from the start her parents knew. They just knew what she'd grow up to be.
​
In later years she wrote plays. Her older brother was the lighting designer and the sound producer and she was the leading lady, the hero and the villain. She wrote and distributed a weekly family newsletter and had a hand-made mailbox taped to her primary school desk to accept letters from friends who were co-authoring an epic animal adventure story.
