5 STARS


Come Away With Me (With Me in Seattle, #1)

Synopsis:

Being confronted on the beach by a sexy stranger wasn't part of Natalie Conner's plans for a peaceful morning taking photos. And why on earth would he think she's taking pictures of him, anyway? Who is he? One thing’s for sure, he’s hot, and incredibly romantic, feeding Natalie’s wounded soul.

Luke Williams just wants the world to give him a break, so seeing yet another camera aimed at his face has him ready to pounce on the beauty behind the lens. When he finds out she has no idea who he is, he's intrigued and more than a little tempted by her. Natalie has a body made for sex, a sassy mouth and Luke can’t get enough of her, but he’s not ready to tell her who he really his.

Natalie is a no nonsense girl who doesn’t do well with lies and secrets. What will happen to this new relationship when she discovers what Luke’s hiding?




Review:

*** SWOON ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a beautiful story!!!!!!! Read it in one day!!!! I simply could NOT stop reading!!! Yup, it's one of those books!!!

I absolutely loved it!!!! Trust me when I say, it will most definitely make you swoon.. A LOT!!!! 

Luke is out if this world... wow! I mean the things he says and does!!! my oh my!! He's an ultra hot alpha male, jealous but not overly possessive, kind, gorgeous, romantic, and simply, worth reading this book for! I also really liked Natalie, she's beautiful, curvy, sassy, sarcastic, very funny, and very easy to relate to.  Their relationship developed quickly and was very romantic. Luke and Natalie simply clicked.. from day one! And by the way.. how they met??? That's definitely a UNIQUE way to meet!


As if there wasn't enough yummy-ness in this book, there are steamy sex scenes.. they went at it everywhere.. from beds, to cars, to limos, to desks, to walls, to airplanes... you name it, they did it. 

This book is literally focused on Luke and Natalie's romance. There really isn't any external drama, but trust me, it's still a page turner.  


The whole story line is narrated from Natalie's POV until literally the ending, which to cause you more swooning and as a HEA Heaven, it's written from Luke's POV... It was perfect!!!! It was a beautiful ending to an amazing book. 

Loved it!!!!!!! 





Underneath the Mistletoe With Me

 (Book 1.5, With Me in Seattle Series) 



5 STARS

Under The Mistletoe With Me (With Me In Seattle, #1.5)

Synopsis:

Isaac and Stacy Montgomery have been married for ten years. They have a beautiful new baby girl, Isaac’s construction business is thriving, and Stacy enjoys being a stay at home mom, reviewing sexy romance novels for her blog. With a very large extended family, and the many privileges they enjoy, Stacy will be the first to admit that they are blessed beyond measure.

When suspicious phone calls and text messages begin, Stacy questions Isaac’s faithfulness for the first time in their marriage. She knows that a new baby brings changes into a relationship, but has the stress of parenthood sent Isaac into another woman’s arms, threatening to destroy their marriage?

This With Me In Seattle novella shows us a glimpse into Jules’ brother, Isaac, and his wife Stacy’s lives, introduces us to some new characters, and reminds us of what it means to reconnect with the person you love the most, even if they never left in the first place



Review:

This is a novella from the "With Me in Seattle Series". Its supposed to go after the first book but before the second one.  "Underneath the Mistletoe With Me" is about Isaac Montgomery, Jules' brother, and his wife, Stacey. 

(Jules Montgomery is Natalie's best friend and housemate, we met her in book 1)
 
This is a
very romantic but very short read. I actually read it in like two hours.

I like that the story line is very realistic. It touches certain topics and situations a lot of married couples face. 

Isaac Montgomery is definitely full of romance. He so knows how to make his wife fall in love with him all over again. Another story FULL of swoony moments!


Just like in "Come Away With Me", the story was written in Stacey's point of view, but then the epilogue was written in Isaac's point of view. In my opinion, this tactic  Kristen Proby uses, makes these endings even better! You can appreciate them more.


Regarding the fabulous ending, I really just want to say.. WOW!!!! I can't go into a lot of details without giving out spoilers but...WOW.!!! The Christmas presents Isaac and Stacey give each other are beyond beautiful.!! It definitely made the ending totally incredible!!!. Loved it.





Fight With Me

(Book 2, With Me in Seattle Series) 

5 STARS

Fight With Me (With Me in Seattle, #2)


Synopsis:

Jules Montgomery is too busy and content with her life to worry about a man, especially one Nate McKenna. If growing up with four brothers has taught her anything, she knows to stay away from sexy men with tattoos and motorcycles. That goes double if he's your boss. During the one incredible night they shared, he violated the no fraternization policy...among other things, and it won't happen again. Jules won't risk her career for mind-blowing sex, no matter how much her body and her damn heart keep arguing with her. 

Nate McKenna could give a shit about the no fraternizing policy. He wants Jules and he'll have her. The rules could bend around them, or be damned. He's not a man to be taken lightly, and Jules Montgomery is about to find out just how he responds to being pushed aside after the best night of sex he's ever had. She can fight all she wants, but he'll have her in his bed in the end.





Review:

What an *amazing* book!! I love Kristen Proby's writing style!!! This is the second full length novel in the "With Me in Seattle Series" and all i can say is.. Wow!! Truly one of my favorite books!!!

The characters... Omg I just loved Julianne 'Jules' Montgomery.! We first meet her in the first book "Come Away With Me". She's a regular 26 year old working girl.. Not the 'pure and virgin 20-something year old' so she's basically a very realistic and totally relatable character. She's strong, loyal, and passionate. I really enjoyed her "I-grew-up-with-four-older-brothers-so-I'm-a- badass attitude". In the outside she would just shrug things off .. But in her mind she'd be over-analyzing every detail.. about to make herself go crazy.. It was that type of attitude that made her reactions to certain things very funny. 

As for Nathan 'Nate' McKenna.. Holy Mother of God..!!!! What a sexy, *über romantic*, protective, and stinking HOT alpha male.!!!!!!!! WOW.!! *Beyond swoon worthy*..!! Definitely made the top list of my book bfs!!!! His exterior says "I'm a sexy, suit-wearing, hard working, money making, expensive car driving man" but underneath those sexy as fuck suits... A tattooed and pierced (wait till you read where) hotter than hell rocker-type body!!!!! With a motorcycle and everything..!! O.O Just. Wow. ah-ma-zing..!!! *sigh* 

I also just LOVE Nate and Jules' chemistry! They are so good together and quite a funny couple.. He's very understanding and patient towards her and she just loves to push his buttons.. In the best way possible.!!
Loved them.!

But Ok ok.. Regarding the story line.. It was a great read.. I give it 5 stars.. But the steamy and beyond sexy sex scenes???? I give *those* 6 freaking stars...!!!!! Just. Wow. 

Like I mentioned at the beginning, this book is the second one in the "With Me in Seattle Series" so I really loved that we got to read a bit more of the characters from the first book, Luke and Natalie. They didn't have a huge role in this book obviously, but we did get quite a couple of scenes with them. Which to me was a huge plus.! Loved reading more about them! 

Overall, I give this book the five brightest stars ever!!! Will be re-reading it very soon.!!!



Play With Me 

(Book 3, With Me in Seattle Series) 

5 STARS

Play With Me (With Me in Seattle, #3)

Synopsis:

Will Montgomery is a successful professional football player and seemingly has it all. He’s not used to being told no, and certainly doesn’t take no for an answer. So when he turns his charms on his sister’s sexy rocker-chick friend Meg, he’s not only turned down, but met with open hostility, piquing his curiosity and libido. He’s determined to show her that he’s not the arrogant jock she thinks he is, and to get her into his bed.

Megan McBride is not impressed with Will Montgomery, his fat contract, fancy car, or his arrogant public persona. She doesn’t have time for a relationship, and if she’s learned anything in life, it’s that loving means losing, so she guards her heart ferociously. But she can’t deny the overwhelming attraction to the sexy, tattooed athlete, and when Will starts breaking down her defenses and grabs hold of her heart, will she be able to admit her feelings for him, or will her troubled past cause her to lose the first man she’s ever truly loved?



Review:


This is the third and even better book from the "With Me in Seattle Series". 

This book is about Will and Megan's story. Will is Jules' brother and my oh my... He's very swoony!! Protective, sexy as hell, athletic, romantic, and funny. He's been in both of the first books but we obviously really get to know him in this one. We met Megan briefly in the second book, "Fight With Me". I love Megan's personality. She is definitely very funny.. class A smart ass! She's very strong emotionally though she has trust issues due to her traumatic past but through out the book she opens up and grows as a person, thanks to Will. 


This book is mainly written from Megan's POV but we fortunately get a few chapters in Will's POV. Heck yeah!!!!! 

The characters and story lines from each book connect very smoothly. LOVE LOVE LOVE that!!! It's always great to keep reading about previous characters and see how they keep developing through out the series. HUGE PLUS!!!


During this book we got to meet Leo, whose the next book's leading male character. I cannot wait to read it. 


I highly recommend this series!
