Book Review of Staying for Good by Catherine Bybee

Staying for Good (Most Likely To #2) by Catherine Bybee
Genre: Adult (Contemporary Romance)
Date Published: January 24, 2017
Publisher: Montlake Romance

Zoe Brown may have been voted Most Likely to Never Leave River Bend, but the paper-thin walls and suffocating air of her family’s double-wide trailer were not what she wanted for her life. Other than BFFs Melanie and Jo, the only thing that kept Zoe sane during high school was her boyfriend, Luke.

She didn’t just leave, she escaped—turning her back on the shame of her black-sheep siblings and imprisoned dad. Now a celebrity chef in Dallas, she can afford all the things she never could have growing up. But when she returns to rustic, ruggedly beautiful River Bend, Zoe has to face all that she abandoned—including Luke.

While Luke was a refuge for Zoe in the past, he knows they inhabit totally different worlds now. Anchored by his parents and his job as a mechanic in his father’s shop, Luke never felt the urge to leave River Bend—until Zoe’s return.

But when the two rekindle their old flame, Zoe is forced to make the hardest decision of her life: remain in River Bend and confront her past before it destroys her, or say good-bye to everyone she’s ever loved…again, this time for good.

Staying for Good is the second book in the Most Likely To series by Catherine Bybee. This is Zoe's story. You could feel the tension in the first book between Luke and Zoe, and they weren't even the focus of that book. Now, the is tension all over the place with Luke and Zoe seeing each other more and more. These two have some definite chemistry, but they also have very different lives across the country from each other. This was an addictive second chance romance with some side drama thrown in to keep things that much more interesting. I'm truly enjoying this series so far. This author knows how to keep her audience on their toes.
