Book Review – Here to Stay by Suanne Laqueur

January 25, 2016 By Maryse 23 Comments

Here to Stay (The Fish Tales Book 3)
This was the PERFECT way to round out one of the most poignant love-story series ever! Wow… as much as I loved #1 (my book review of The Man I Love) & #2 (my book review of Give Me Your Answer True), this one cinched the whole series as a 5-star MUST read! The writing is exquisite. Absolutely exquisite!!!!

For anyone that loves an epic love story, but doesn’t shy away from hard, sometimes darker emotions, ugly situations, and wants to FEEL and react along with the characters, this one is for you! This story, in it’s entirety, is stunning.

And surprisingly enough, it works as a standalone. The author delves back into their backstory so beautifully and so cleverly. So subtly. In such a way that a new reader that accidentally jumps into this one first, wouldn’t question “their” story. As it comes back in the form of memory, thought processes, realizations, the author is amazing at telling and re-telling a story without it feeling cumbersome. The writing is so flawless, that the memories are tangible. I can taste them. I can touch them. It’s as if they are my own.

That said, I must INSIST that you read each book, preferable in order that they were written, as you not only get the whole story, but you can also feel… or experience the author’s emotions and her own journey with these characters, as she was writing these. She’s not “in” the story, no… but each book’s ambiance is specific to her own personal headspace at the time.

Read them all to get the full scope and intensity of emotions and the circumstances that shaped their lives, their decisions, and their unthinkable mistakes. Their incredible achievements and their devastating regrets. Their humanity.

Maryse: When you hit the sad part in the book. No. The devastating part. And you want to cry, but you know you have so much to do before letting it go. So you put the book away until it’s time to properly fall apart with it.

I’m here now.

Kira: That is a sad place…take a blankie and chocolate bar when you head back

Stacey: I wait till I need a good cry and dive back in. Sometimes it’s the best part.

Jo: Which book Maryse? I feel like one of those reads, I know it’s bad for me but I love losing myself in a good book!

Stephanie: Which book? I love books that spring all the emotions!

Maryse: I’m on the third book. This (to me) is a 5 star series. You can probably even read the 3rd as a standalone, but to live the first two books with them makes #3 incredibly real. Actually #3 is real all in itself. Suanne Laqueur – The Fish Tales Series Reading Order

Carol: I haven’t started this one yet but the first two were 5 stars for me. I have to finish Appealed before I get into this one and my damn job is taking up too much time for reading right now!

Maryse: Carol… this is the best one yet. Of all my life.

Carina: OMG… I am sure I am reading the same part as you… I can’t stop crying

Maryse: Carina that’s the part.

Liz: I read it last week. My review on Goodreads says ” I have no words. When my emotions have returned to some sort of balance then I shall write a review that this book / series deserves. Thank you Suanne for taking me on an epic journey of love, loss, and forgiveness.”

Stephanie: See Nancy? This is the Series I hear everyone raving about! And Elizabeth too! Remember me recommending this Series to you? Maryse is raving about it too!

Carina: Just finished and like Liz said I have no words… Thank you Suane…

Maryse: Suanne Laqueur you are one of the most amazing, eloquent, real authors I have ever read. The emotions you capture… the reactions… oh my god the reactions. I have never read or experienced anything more real and I believe every single second.

Maryse: This one is deep. It’s layered. It’s loaded. It’s EVERYTHING. You might find yourself thinking it’s more than necessary until you it the dark spots… and you realize you needed ALL of it. This is why we read.

Sadie: Yes.

Jenny: Absolutely

Marie: Deep. Layered. Loaded. This is the stuffed potato skins of books, people!! Sink your teeth in.

Leslee: I’m getting ready to start this book now. The first two were 5 star for me. I’ll never forget this series.

Theresa: yes everyone stop and start reading now.

Sadie: Nods. I was on a plane. Nowhere to hide!

Maryse: It was AMAZING. My eyes burn and are puffy but it was perfect.

Jenny: I’m still suffering from a book hangover after reading this series. But I’ll do it all over again. Loved it!

Trisha: I am right there with you Maryse! Just finished last night. So very real, every emotion, every word!

Such a close knit group of terrific, flawed, yet relatable characters… more than characters. Real humans, best friends, family members and the ghosts of their pasts. So many ghosts…. (and no… not real ghosts. LOL!! 😉 )

So what’s it about?

Life. Real… tragic, beautiful, life. The rise and fall… and rise again of a best group of friends, and also each individual character making up the group.

He knew the general luxury of spilling your guts to a buddy. But he’d forgotten the particular comfort in slicing off a bit of a problem and handing it to Will to hold.

And while this trilogy focuses on the life, love and heartache of two main characters (Daisy and Erik), there are a few other characters that I have come to know so well, throughout the trilogy and while I “know” their stories too, I’m dying for an in-depth look at some of their own personal journeys. There is SO much story to be told.

A group that comes together working on a ballet performance in college, and that is torn apart (slowly… at first) by a tragedy that affects them all equally… yet uniquely.

“You’re not responsible for all of it,” she said. “Pick one. You can have one. You can own it and hate it or heal it or touch it however you want.”

And it’s how they cope with the tragedy.

He touched the scar beneath her shoulder blade again. “I pick this one. It’s mine.”

How they deal with their emotions, with each other that throws their amazing dynamic out of whack. Completely needing each other for support, but sometimes… each not having enough to support themselves, let alone the others.

And years go by with them grasping at each other, at their old lives, mingling with their new lives. The rejection, the pitfalls, the lies. Especially to themselves. But things come full circle.

“Do I feel the same?” Daisy asked, her voice a silken caress.

After twelve years, Erik thought, of course not. He had loved a girl. It was a woman’s body up against him now, with the heft of wisdom and the weight of experience. He ran his fingers up her backbone and felt all the bits of new fused steel, overlaid with the strong assurance in her muscles and the soft aplomb of her skin. She was a hundred times more beautiful. A thousand times more thrilling.

It’s wonderful. It’s relieving. It’s real because even through the relief, old pain and resentments come back to light.

Now the sound of her French from the kitchen was rubbing against the nap of his peace. As if it were Dave on the phone and she was indulging him. Deliberately excluding her lover.

What’s going on? Is this happening again?

Things they’ve never faced before, at least not together…

This is old pain, he told himself.

But it felt fresh.

Why is this showing up now?

“Because you didn’t deal with it then,” he mumbled.

…have to be dealt with.

“Do you love me,” she said into his heart, skinless and defenseless.

He pulled her hands from her face and took her head. He kissed her. Forehead. Each cheek. Nose. Chin. Mouth.

“I love you,” he whispered. “And I can hear you.”

And even more life (real life)… maybe even fate… intervenes and this book throws them (and us!!) into the biggest emotional whirlwind yet.

You’re not alone. You found your tribe. You will survive this.

“I can’t,” he whispered, knowing he could, but wishing with every fiber of his being he didn’t have to.

“You can,” Will said. “You don’t have to do it well. You just have to do it.”

What I love so much about books like this one… the ones that take the reader on such a profound, heartbreaking, and uplifting experience, is that it all happens naturally. Believably. It’s real… even if at times, the events are so overwhelming and appear larger than life. The way books like these are told… there’s a real ingenious magic there and I didn’t once feel manipulated by the author. THAT is what I love.

That is what separates this kind of epic, sometimes tragic, love story from other tear-jerkers. It’s in how it’s told. The journey is not rushed. The events are all relevant (even if at times, they seem slow and ponderous – yes, even this magnificent trilogy experienced the occasional “clunk”), and I prefer living each moment as if it’s just as important as “THE” moment that “makes” the story.

Because, in reality, in a well rounded story such as this one, it’s ALL relevant. Setting the stage, developing the characters as individuals and as a group, subtly foreshadowing, having the reader live with them, produces an eventual outcome that is much more meaningful.

This trilogy is unforgettable, not because of a certain moment or shock value… but because of ALL of the junctures that create that moment.

I just can’t do this book, or this series as a whole justice, explaining to you what exactly I mean, and why I love it so, without spoiling some BIG moments, and BIG emotions, and BIG reactions.

“Don’t leave me,” she whispered under him.

“I can’t,” he said. “I’d never breathe again.”

My words are not enough.

But the author’s are. You must read this.

5 stars!

Great review. I too highlighted the quote about slicing off a bit of a problem and giving it to Will to hold, and the one about you don’t have to do it well…you just have to do it. And “I’d never breathe again.” I can’t stop with this book.

P.S. I want Will’s story next. BADLY.

Will’s story – YES!!! One of the things I love about her writing is she can make you feel so many emotions in one scene. Like the ones with will and Erik I was simultaneously relieved, happy, sad, nervous…

PS – this quote too:
“All of the little triumphs of their love story had been banked away over the years, accumulating interest. Now they made lavish withdrawals, cashed in every bond, every insurance policy.”

I don’t think any of us who have read these 3 outstanding books can say enough. To be honest I went in with “this is too wordy”. But you soon find out yes the words have to be, and just unbelievable words, writing, story.
I know we all say we have the best book, but hands down none of us have read anything like these books and this story.
Suanne is just unbelievable with her story telling. All my praise for a wonderful writer.
And yes Will could actually be the most complicated character. Please write that story Suanne.

Thank you so much Maryse. I thought TMIL was going to be my one and only. But it unfolded and…this happened. It’s changed my life and thanks to you and bloggers like you, I’ve met so many amazing people and connected with these fabulous readers. I can’t thank you enough….except by writing more.

I have hundreds of requests for Will’s story. It would be a challenge to tell it, more challenging than Daisy’s. I also have an idea for a standalone prequel to the Fish Tales (Erik would only appear as a little boy). But right now it’s time to step out of the safety zone and do something terrifying. Make up new people and new situations. Draw that line and get on the other side 🙂

Thank you again so much.
All of you so much.

I’m so grateful you reviewed The Man I Love, Maryse. It’s how I found this series. I don’t have the words to describe how much I’ve loved each and every book, but I’m definitely a lifelong fan of Suanne’s now, that’s for sure.

p.s. And Will? OMG,yes. I’ve turned into a bit of a Will junkie. I want to know everything there is about him.

Coincidence!! Very clever part from the book though. 😉

Manny is our “virtual” stuffed manatee (like our “teddy bear”) that we snuggle with when books gut us and make us cry.

Manny has been sobbed on and snuffled on many times. 😛

I’m at 20% of book one and holy wow. The feels, the slow build, the writing. Soooooo beautiful. I’m savoring it already and trying not to read too fast. But I’m thrilled that I have the whole series ahead. I felt a pull to these books first by your reviews Maryse (thank you!), then the book covers which are so beautiful but also when I saw that the author also loved the book I love so much, “I’ll Give You the Sun”. The only thing I wish is that I had not read the synopsis but then again maybe it is prepping me in some way. I’m in book heaven right now and soooo excited to be reading these. And to spread the word about this book and series to friends, family and bookclub!

This series rung me out – in the best way possible. So many times I had to set the book down and process for awhile before I could start again. Such a huge story and told so beautifully. I felt a real conection to the characters, as if i had an investment in their lives. Such a great way to start the year!!

These books really reminded me of a modern day The Bronze Horseman series by Paullina Simons.

LANI LYNN VALE'S LATEST IS LIVE!! SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE WITH A BAD BOY!!!

“…we were once again reunited. Only this time in an undercover FBI investigation—me, the FBI officer, and Troup call sign ‘State’ as a military liaison. Trouble always finds him. You’d do better to run far, far away. Truer words had never been spoken.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #SecondChanceRomance

From the time Troup was a young boy, he’d been in some kind of trouble. So it only goes to show when he winds up in the FBI investigation with none other than Beckham Spurlock, his high school sweetheart, things are bound to go wrong.

Only, he has no idea how wrong until things go bad. Really, really bad…”

LIVE!!! SHE’S BEEN KILLED OFF HER SHOW & HE’S THE RECLUSIVE EX-HOCKEY STAR…

“...She needs a break, and sanctuary comes in the form of Rosemont, a gorgeous estate in California promising rest and relaxation.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #reclusivehero

Then she meets the owner’s equally gorgeous grandson, ex–hockey player and current recluse Lucian Osmond, and she sees her own pain and yearning reflected in his eyes. He’s charming when he wants to be but also secretive and gruff, with protective walls as thick as Emma’s own.

Despite a growing attraction, they avoid each other…”
