Stay Until We Break (Hub City #2)

by Mercy Brown

What happens on the road stays on the road in the latest New Adult novel from the author of Loud Is How I Love You.

Twenty-one-year-old Sonia Grant, a business major, has big plans for a career in the music industry. So when she’s offered the job of tour manager for her best friend’s band, she jumps at the chance for some real life experience. When her number one crush, bassist Cole McCormack, jumps her the first night on tour, she hopes she’s in for three weeks of some hot backstage action, too. But Cole turns out to have more up his sleeve than she or anyone realized.

Nobody knows that Cole is on the road to party like a rock star one last time before quitting his dream to take a more practical job and settle down. What he hadn’t planned was to fall in love with a girl he believes is out of his league. Will Cole play out the rock star fantasy he thinks Sonia wants from him, or tell her the truth and take the chance that she’ll either break his heart or make an even bigger dream come true?

Louisa’s 3.5 Star Review

I have been patiently waiting for Sonia and Cole’s story since reading Loud is How I Love You. I love the local connection and the timeframe in which this book takes place. I am a child of the 80’s, so hearing all the songs, the clothing references and etc, brought me back to my teenage life.

The fact that the author herself was part of this scene in the 80’s is apparent during while reading. I love the way Mercy writes. I feel as though I was in the speeding car as the other bands threw firecrackers at their van. I loved the back stage peak while they are on tour and even just the too and from each gig. A dual POV is my favorite, we were able to see the inner thoughts of both Cole and Sonia! A book that makes me giggle and swoon is always a good book for me!
