Book three of Cynthia Eden’s new series, Lazarus Rising takes the readers into the cold mountains of a far away cabin, where Shelly Hampton is planning on spending her holidays, alone and to recover from a family loss. But John Smith has other ideas and he intends to make sure that Shelly says, “Stay With Me” – to protect and to lover her.

StayWithMe-LazarusRising#3-CynthiaEden-Dec2017

Escaping from the Lazarus disaster, the only awakening thought that brings John Smith to Shelly Hampton is the intense need to protect her. Vague memories of betrayal, pain and death haunt his mind, but the innate desire for Shelly and the need to be with her is as strong as the breath he takes. With danger dogging their every move, death riding their backs, and betrayal lurking in the shadows, Shelly has to put her trust and life in John’s hands.

Impressive as always, Cynthia Eden’s plot of super enhanced soldiers, the scope of technology that can be created and used is pure genius and mind-blowing. “Stay With Me” is another brilliant story as Cynthia Eden continues the series with John and Shelly’s story, bringing Flynn and Sawyer into the light, as they continue to keep their lives as normal as possible, amidst their search for their kind, and destroy the person responsible for the mayhem.
