Judge and single father Sutton Landmark is fortunate to have the support of his large, close-knit family in caring for his 8-year-old son, Owen, but with a big case coming up, he knows he's going to need more help. Based on a recommendation from a mutual friend, he hires recent college graduate Felicity Shaw as Owen's new nanny. There's an immediate spark of attraction between Sutton and Felicity, but he's determined to resist. She's 13 years younger than him, and he's sure she'll move on as soon as she figures out what she wants to do with her life. But could it be that what Felicity wants is Sutton?
Felicity and Sutton had great chemistry, and I really liked that she was so honest with him about her feelings, especially when she felt he was being dismissive of her because of her age. I also loved her bond with Owen and how well she fit in with the Landmark family. The one thing that would have improved the story for me is if there had been a bit more resolution to the situation with Owen's mom, Tracy. Maybe I missed something, but it almost seemed as if Tracy cut off contact with Owen in the end. Did Tracy and Sutton change their custody agreement? Did Owen go out and spend time with her in Arizona over the summer?
Despite that small frustration, I enjoyed "Stay" and would recommend it for all contemporary romance fans. I look forward to Aster's next series, which she'll launch this summer with a story featuring Felicity's brother, professional football player Weston.

About "Stay"
When a judge falls for his younger nanny, can their love overcome the possibility of scandal?
As I drive into the picturesque small town of Landmark Mountain after the whirlwind of college, I could never have expected a simple job opportunity would lead me to the deliciously sexy Sutton Landmark. But fate, it seems, wants to send my plans sideways.
Judge Sutton Landmark, a man whose gorgeous face, charisma, and chocolate brown eyes could charm the pants off of anyone. He needs a nanny for his son, Owen, and I need a break from textbooks and exams…and some time to figure out what I really want to do with my life.
However, one heated look from Sutton, and everything inside me ignites.
As I spend time with Sutton, I find myself falling for him. There's a spark between us and a connection that simmers and dances in the air whenever we’re in the same room.
But Sutton’s prestigious position and the age gap between us casts a looming shadow over our happiness. Despite our hearts’ desires, fear and indecision hold us back from taking that leap of faith.
I want to believe that, despite the obstacles, anything is possible…
Even love against all odds.
I guess I’ll just have to jump in headfirst and stay to find out.
Stay is book five in the Landmark Mountain Series. Each book can be read as a standalone.
