Product Description
Getting her back will be the toughest deal they've ever negotiated.
On the night of her fifth anniversary, Catherine Cullen-Wellesley intends to break the news to the two men in her life. She's pregnant with their child. It'll be the perfect preamble to the vacation they've promised her: Two weeks on a Jamaican beach. No cell phones, no emails, no business. But when Logan and Rhys blow off the trip for yet another "business emergency", Catherine faces some difficult truths. She hasn't come first in her busy husbands' lives in a long time. Defiantly, she packs her bags for her long-awaited vacation-alone. It'll give her a chance to figure out what the hell she's going to do with the rest of her life. When Logan and Rhys come home to an empty house, they realize two things: One, it was a mistake to take Catherine for granted. Two, they're not willing to just let her walk out of their lives. Winning her back will be the most difficult battle of their lives-more important than any business deal they've ever negotiated. Warning: This title contains explicit sex, menage a trois, a polyamorous relationship, graphic language, and sex near a beach (and in the shower).

Catherine Cullen-Wellesley is spending another lonely night without the men in her life. Except they didn't just miss any night out, they missed their anniversary. She couldn't take it anymore. On what should be the happiest night of her life, her life was falling apart. Catherine was going to have a baby, and now wasn't sure that she would have anyone to fill the father role. She had planned a vacation for all of them, and now Rhys and Logan wouldn't even be there. Everything was more important than she was. She didn't even rank anymore. So sure it was over, Catherine decided to go on the vacation to Jamaica alone to figure out what her next step was now that she was on her own.
Rhys and Logan were panicked when they arrived home to find Catherine gone. She had been gone for days, and they hadn't even known. Figuring she went on vacation without them, they headed for Jamaica to get their woman back. When they arrived, they couldn't believe how distant and withdrawn she was. Rhys and Logan knew how abominably they had treated her not just recently, but for years. That sad fact had become abundantly clear, and there was no one to blame except themselves. Catherine had always been there loving them, and they were no longer sure she would stay with them. Rhys and Logan had a lot of hurt to make up for, and would stop at nothing to convince Catherine she would always come first.
MB has done it again! This time the story is told from a different angle. It doesn't start at the beginning of the relationship, but instead after they have been married, and the problems they are experiencing. Phenomenal story with a lot of heart. Well written, and very strong characters keep you involved from the beginning.

It is her anniversary, and Catherine can't wait to tell her husbands, Logan and Rhys, her news. After being married for five years, Catherine and her men are finally going to be parents. She can only imagine how happy they will be, and the anniversary vacation the trio has planned to leave for the next day will be the icing on the cake. The longer Catherine waits, however, the more she realizes she has been stood up once again for business. She soul searches and comes up with the only conclusion she can think of, and so heads out on her anniversary vacation alone.
Logan and Rhys love Catherine, their wife, more than they ever thought possible. Striving to make their business successful so she would want for nothing has been tough, and they've had to make a lot of sacrifices, especially where their marriage is concerned. When a client unexpectedly requires their presence in another town, Logan and Rhys don't hesitate. They leave immediately, completely forgetting their dinner date with their wife. Upon their return, Logan and Rhys immediately sense something is wrong. It seems their home is empty, and their wife has left without them.
Catherine has to do a lot of soul searching. She loves her men unconditionally, but she is so very tired of being taken advantage of. She knows she is more important than just a phone call, and so makes the decision to stand strong where her husbands are concerned. In order for Catherine to forgive them, they'll have to make some allowances that Catherine refuses to give up on - namely their marriage.
May I just state how very much I love the writing of Maya Banks? With every novel she releases, Stay with Me included, I find myself swept away in a story and plot line so gripping that I can't stop reading. Stay with Me could be about any wife who's taken advantage of and for granted. When Catherine put her foot down concerning her feelings, I applauded her for being a strong woman. More than once, I wanted to thump Logan and Rhys on the top of their heads and scream, "Do you not get it?" Lucky for them, they got a clue, because I wanted to hurt them!
Stay with Me is a spectacular menage. I love how the triad was already established at the beginning of the book, and readers are taken on a journey of the inner dealings and things that have to happen to make a relationship like this work. Consider Stay with Me joyfully recommended, because it made me laugh, cry, and blush. I loved it.

Great Menage June 5, 2008

Catherine, Logan and Rhys have been married for 5 years and on the night of their fifth anniversary, just before leaving on their vacation to Jamaica, Catherine is going to tell the men in her life that she's pregnant with their child. She has it all planned but, as usual, they cancel due to yet another "business emergency". Catherine decides that she has had enough, goes on the trip by herself and vows to use the time as an opportunity to make some tough life decisions about her future that may or may not include Rhys and Logan.
When her husbands realize on their return home that she has flown the coop they immediately try to locate her. A few days later Rhys finds her on a beach in Jamaica after a protracted search since she did not leave any hint of her whereabouts. She agrees to go back to the hotel with him and when Logan shows up they both make love to her hoping that she would forgive them and stay in the marriage. But she feels that it is time to stand up for herself and tell them what she wants out of their relationship instead of always giving in and "sucking it up" when they decide to abandon her for business reasons. Will Rhys and Logan be able to change their evil ways? Will Catherine forget her good resolutions and give in to her men?
Stay With Me is a beautiful story of a woman who makes a stand for herself and decides that enough is enough and takes charge of her own destiny when her marriage goes awry. As usual Maya Banks pens a wonderful love story, this time with three amazing characters. Logan, the alpha male who is totally blindsided when he realizes that Catherine is serious about leaving, and sensitive Rhys who is devastated when Cat states that love is not enough to sustain a marriage that is not working. It takes a near tragedy to make them realize how much she means to them. Catherine took a long time to grow a backbone but when she does, look out! The sex in the book is sensuous, hot enough to burn your fingers, moving when it counts and just plain great.
Fans of Maya Banks and new readers alike will want to pick up a copy of Stay With Me, a tale of love almost lost and found again. A great read!!
