About this listen

A quiet coffee shop gives two men who have lost too much a chance at love.

Joe Calloway has been on the run since he was 16, homeless and alone. He never lets anyone close. Between his traumatic past and his autism, he isn’t used to people taking the time to understand him.

Even so, when a stranger offers him a way to build a better life for himself, Joe finds the strength to go for it.

Madden Fields is fully devoted to his older sister, her autistic son, and his job as a nurse, but when he meets Joe, his carefully ordered life begins to pick up speed.

As their connection deepens, Madden realizes he’s going to have to hold on tight if he wants to be an anchor strong enough for Joe to stay.

Stay is a 88,000-word gay hurt/comfort romance novel.

wow what a story! I feel like I've been put through the emotional ringer but I'm all the better for it, Joe and Madden are something very special! I loved Joe and Madden and truly loved the clever (& cheeky) bit of perfect kismet at the end. Joe had a harsh and unfair life and I felt for him so much, I felt so invested in his story and that he deserves so much more and Madden oh my! what an absolute sweet heart! These two were meant to find each other and help each other grow and heal. I loved the autistic rep, coupled with Joe's trauma, I felt was handle well and with respect and care. His trauma healed and he got more confident but his autism was a part of him and I thank the author for not in anyway trying to "fix" this.
amazing performance by Isaac. Wonderfully crafted nuisances, very easy listening and he sounded exactly how I thought Joe would.
Joe and Madden are something special 💕

Heartbreaking yet hopeful

I know I'm going to love a book when the first chapter makes me care so much for a character that I start crying. My heart ached for Joe. His story was absolutely heartbreaking. I was crushed. I was so happy when he found sweet, caring and wonderful Madden. They were beautiful together and I just loved their story. Amazing book, I really liked it. And the unexpected revelations at the end warmed my aching heart. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing this great story to life.

Amazing!!!

Ash Knight is a brilliant storyteller and both Joe and Madden such wonderful characters, I found myself listening to Stay in one sitting.
Joe is on the spectrum and has had a harrowing life before he meets Madden, a nurse who finds himself drawn to Joe, and who wants to care and protect him.
This is a beautiful uplifting story, well written and researched by the author.
I wasn’t too keen on the choice of narrator, his voice was almost childlike.
