About this listen
Willow Parsons’s two new best friends are getting married, putting her squarely on the sidelines of romance - which suits her just fine. After the nightmarish situation she escaped from, featuring the ultimate Mr. Wrong, she is more than happy to spend her days slinging drinks in Dempsey’s Bar & Grill, and her nights alone. But her Anchor Island refuge has just one catch: muscle-bound charmer Randy Navarro.
Everyone in town knows that Randy, owner of the local fitness club, is a giant teddy bear. Everyone, it seems, except for Willow. He’s convinced that her avoidance is more than just playing hard to get, and is determined to uncover the secrets that shadow her lovely eyes. But when old fears are dragged into the light, can Randy get Willow to stay and fight for their love...or will she take flight, leaving him and Anchor Island behind?
Home to Stay is a charming, romantic tale about following your heart to find where you belong.

He always says the only solid thing in his life is our friendship. He’s Honey Mountain's favorite player and I’m what you’d call "a relationship girl".

Author Liza Teller’s new book is something of a mystery. She’s been hired to ghostwrite the memoir of Ray Wallis, an elderly stranger eager to share a very personal and surprising life story. The moment Liza arrives on beautiful Haven Island off the South Carolina coast, she has to ask: Out of all the semi-successful writers with stalled careers in the world, why her? Kendall James, the dedicated ex-military man in Ray’s employ, has the same question. Why is this New Yorker in a frilly blue dress so important to Ray?

My name is Adelaide Edington, and my life was mapped out for me before I even entered the world: who I'd date, where I’d attend college, what I'd be when I grew up. But there comes a time in everyone's life when they face a fork in the road. Should I go left, or should I go right? It didn't matter as long as I didn't remain stagnant any longer. Jett Stone opened me up to a whole new world, reminding me that it was okay to find my own way. I could have roots in Willow Springs and still spread my wings and fly. What I didn't expect was to fall in love with the broody football player.

Hockey star Max Yearwood was everything I needed at the time - fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months, since he’d signed with a new team 3,000 miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds. I was starting to lose hope. Until a knock at my door came, and God answered my prayers. Except...uh...wrong prayer, God. I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion...just not as my roommate. Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway. While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined. Then, cupcakes showed up at my door.

A little action, a lot of love, and past character follow up...by far my fav in the Anchor series. The books all tie in well together which is important to keeping me happy. Just wish Randy had the opportunity to get his hands on Jeremy :-/...oh well...maybe in another book.

Wish the serious didn't have to end. Willow's storyline was very unexpected which made the Anchor series that much more intriguing to read.

Don't Judge a Book by its Cover
This is the perfect example of finding an author I would never have "found" except that I sat across from her at a recent Author/Reader Conference. Her covers were attractive and intrigued me, but struck me as sweet romance--of which I'm not a huge fan. But when I looked her up on Amazon, I discovered she writes contemporary romance in much the same vein as I do. The kind of book I love to read.
This is a typical "starting over" trope, one of my favorite themes. Heroine Willow Parsons is trying to find a new life after running away from an abusive relationship. Hero Randy Navarro unfortunately is the same kind of big, muscular man who hurt Willow--but only in appearance. The way the man whose size "commands its own zip code" wins over her heart is a wonderful reading adventure.
Highly recommend this book to anyone who loves contemporary romance with just enough spice to keep your blood pumping. I listened to this book on Audible, and Amy Rubinate did an outstanding job.

If you like Romance Terri Osburn is a MUST Read!
What made the experience of listening to Home to Stay the most enjoyable?
The author is a brilliant story teller. She is up there with the best authors.Fantastic characters and setting. Nail biting conflict and strong emotions.One sympathises deeply with the hero and heroine and they are such a good match. If you've read the first two books in the series it feels as if you're part of the island community yourself.
What other book might you compare Home to Stay to and why?
Something about Terri's writing reminds me of Susan Mallery... perhaps her sense of humour.
Which character – as performed by Amy Rubinate – was your favorite?
Oh Randy the Hero is wonderful. Although I adored Willow, the heroine too.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When her past catches up with her at the worst possible moment.
Any additional comments?
I look forward to Terri Osburn's next book. I've read the first wonderful three.

It's a wonderful story, good job. I'm ready for the next book in this series. This has been great, all the Characters were very likeable. I loved Sid and her love of her life. Willow was a surprise Character, she hid things pretty well , I'm so glad everything worked out for her and Randy . I recommend all your books. You are a good writer.
