Stay With Me by Becky Wade

Genevieve Woodward is a hugely successful Christian bogger and speaker. What her fans don't see is that she is also addicted to persciption opioids.  One day, after a drug induced stupor, she wakes up in a strange house near her parent's home.  It happens to be the guest house of a single, handsome, and successful local restaurant owner.  As unthrilled as Sam is to have Gen and her problems thrust into his very controlled life, he can't bring himself to turn his back on her.  He has had experience with dealing with opioid addition before, and that didn't go too well.  Part of him want's to run for the hills, but part of him senses that he needs Gen as much as she needs him.

I have read several Becky Wade books before, but this is probably my favorite so far.  In some of the other ones, the male love interest is just too over the top; a football super star, a ex-navy seal, a famous pro hockey player.  In this one it is Genevieve who is famous and Sam is more like just a regular guy.  I liked that fact that Wade delt with the pressure Genevieve felt as a prominent Christian to put on a "perfect" face.  That is a real temptation when you are part of a close-knit Christian community.  I also thought she did a good job with Sam's inner struggle about whether to get involved or not.
Another feel good clean romance for those that like the genre. (2020, 392 p.)
