Stay For Me is the fifth book in the Balefire series by Tam DeRudder Jackson. It is a contemporary second chances rockstar romance, with past pain, love, loss, heartache, drama, humour, emotion, angst, plenty of chemistry, and steam. Even though this is the fifth book in the series, it could be read as a standalone if you wanted, as each book in the series focuses on a different member of the Balefire rock band. I have to be honest, I really wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy this book going in, as I wasn’t a fan of Garrett as he’d been a bit of jerk in the past (books). So, I was prepared to not like this book at all. But Ms. DeRudder Jackson surprised me and won me over through the course of the story. Ten years ago, Garret made the biggest mistake of his life. Now he has a chance for a re-do… What happens? Will Love win out in the end? No spoilers here, you really should read all the intriguing developments for yourself. Happy Reading…

I never miss a book by this author and I’m glad to see the series continuing! I love everything about Tam DeRudder Jackson’s writing. The way she pulls you in and makes you completely forget about what’s going on around you. The world she creates encapsulates you so quickly that you don’t even realize what happened. Garrett broke Olivia’s heart years ago when he chose his career over his future love life with her. He says he has never forgotten her, but she’s not falling for it quite so easily. Fool me once! Olivia used that pain as fuel to get her name recognized as a music video director, but it’s starting to flame out. Will she give him a chance to show her what he’s made of, or has the pain of him leaving left her too devastated to try? I highly recommend picking up not only this book, but the entire Balefire series!

This is the second book in the Balefire series that I have read, but it is the fifth in the series. This book is so well written and it sucks you right in. This book features Garret, who is definitely the one member of Balefire I have had a hard time warming up to. However, this time it gives some insight into his personality and demeanor. Years ago, Olivia was the one who got away. The one that he left for the band. This time he gets a second chance at love with Olivia. However, will he mess it up again or will she be too hurt from before to even let him in. I definitely recommend picking this one up to see what happens. It packs on the steam as well as showing well written characters.

Stay For Me is the fifth book in the Balefire series although it can be read as a standalone. The series focus’ on each member of the band Balefire and this is Garrett and Olivia’s story. It is an erotic rock romance story.
The story is told in dual POV. I had mixed feelings about Garrett but he is shed in a whole new light in his story. Don’t get me wrong there are still moments when I want to smack him.
Garrett is hoping for a second chance after the biggest mistake he made 10 years ago.
Being in need means taking on the biggest rock band in the industry. Only along with them comes their manager the one who left me behind. Has the man changed and can he be trusted?
Sparks fly in this sexy and hot, steamy and seductive, passionate and intense tale.

Wow!!! This talented author just keeps creating such wonderful characters and storylines again and again!! This book had me hooked right from the start and turning page after page with excitement because I just had to know what was going to happen for Garrett and Olivia. It was so great to get to read the story of Garrett, a character who up until now I really did not like at all, and learn more about him and understand a little more about why he did the things he did in the previous books in this fantastic series. If you haven’t read the previous books don’t worry you can read this and thoroughly enjoy it just like I did BUT do yourself a favour and read the whole series. You will not be disappointed!!!

I’ve made a few mistakes over the last decade, but the one I regret most was letting Olivia Carter go. When I see her again, the past crashes over me, reminding me of everything I ever wanted and gave up when I let our dreams separate us.
Managing Balefire into the world’s biggest rock band came at a personal cost—walking away from my only love. When fate brings her back into my life, I’m determined not to screw up again. After Balefire hires her studio to produce their next music video, I have a second chance to rewrite our song—if I can convince her I’m a changed man.
Olivia
Ten years ago, Garrett Phillips chose to go with “his boys” and leave me in the dust of a ratty old tour bus. Now I’m working my ass off to make a name for myself as a Hollywood music video director. Unfortunately, my fledgling studio is bleeding money, and my only hope of saving it is to make a video with the biggest rock band on the planet. Too bad that means working with the man who tore my heart out of my chest when he chose his rock ’n’ roll dream over me.
He says he’s grown up. He says we can make things work. But can I truly trust that this time he will stay for me?
Tam DeRudder Jackson’s love of all things Celtic led her to write the Talisman Series. Steeped in Celtic mythology, these steamy, fated mates, paranormal romance adventures are set in the mountains of Tam’s native Montana and the Highlands of Scotland. Rogue, the most recent book in the series, was named a best romance of 2022 by the Independent Book Review.
An avid fan of rock music, Tam never misses a chance to see a live show, especially if it’s Shinedown, one of her favorite bands. Her love of rock music inspired her contemporary rock star Balefire Series, a sexy fun ride following the lives and loves of the members of a fictional mega-band. Readers of this series consistently give the books five-star reviews.
Tam earned her BA in English from Montana State University and her M.Ed. in literacy from Lesley University. After a short teaching stint in Bath, England, she settled in the wilds of Wyoming where she taught adolescents all about the Celts and a bit about writing before she stepped out of the classroom to pursue her writing career full time.
When she’s not writing, you can find her working her way through her mountainous TBR piles, alpine skiing, or traveling to some new place on her ever-expanding bucket list.
