Review

I have really enjoyed the books in Kristen Proby’s With Me in Seattle series, but this one I absolutely LOVED!

It’s not a complicated or intense book, the plot is actually fairly simple. It’s just a great romantic story featuring an absolutely swoon-worthy alpha hero and a fantastic, witty heroine, and their friends and family. And it’s all awesome!

Will Montgomery is the football star of the Montgomery clan, and he and Meg had a somewhat underwhelming introduction in the last book – Meg is a close college friend of Will’s sister Jules. But upon meeting each other again in this book, there is a definitely ‘something’ there.

“Why don’t you just tell me what I did to piss you off so I can go ahead and hit on you.”

Meg initially thinks he’s an arrogant asshole, but Will is persistent and very quickly wins Meg over as she gets to know the real him, and they’re straight into it! He’s clearly interested, he tells her he’s interested, he asks her out, she says yes, and it goes from there. No games, no bullshit, and it’s so refreshing! Yes, there’s a bump or two, but for the most part it’s very easy with them, and they are both very open about what they are feeling – particularly Will.

“When I take you, you’ll know exactly what we’re doing, what you’re feeling, and I won’t stop until your legs are shaking and the neighbors know my name.”

Yep, Will is one sexy, confident Alpha, with all of the associated protectiveness, possessiveness and bossiness that goes along with it! He’s also funny, caring, not afraid to talk about his feelings, and is very big on the PDA. He’s pretty freaking perfect actually! And he even calls her sweetheart *dreamy sigh*. He makes a couple of slip ups along the way, but he owns it, he grovels appropriately, and he’s right back on track. I just adore him!

“You’re mine, Meg, just as much as I’m yours”

Oh, and he’s also sexier than all get out!

“We aren’t going to fuck, Meg. Even when it’s hard and fast or a little rough or a lot dirty, I’m not fucking you. In the kitchen, in the bedroom, on my car, or any damn where I want to take you, will not be fucking. Fucking is for strangers or people who don’t give a shit about each other.”

“You need to understand, Megan, once I make love to you, you’re mine.”

Meg is a fantastic heroine! She’s confident, no-nonsense and down to earth, with a great sense of humor and her narrative is fantastic!

“I’m surrounded by a whole lot of hotness. If I wasn’t me, I’d be jealous of me.”

“I’m not flirting. I’m just paying extra attention to someone who’s very attractive.”

She also has quite the dirty mouth! It’s usually the guy doing all of the seductive talk, but she gives back as good as she gets, and I really liked that about her. She has some issues from her past which impact on her relationship, but they are fairly minor, and for the most part, she deals, she lives her life, and she follows her heart. And you’ve gotta respect that!

I loved Meg and Will together. There’s no big conflict, no twists or big shocks, no stupid behavior or unnecessary angst. They tease, they banter, they communicate well, they have fun together, and there’s also a whole heap of sex! These two steam it up in the bedroom… shower… kitchen… car… pretty much anywhere really. And it’s all freaking hot! But the underlying story is definitely a romantic one. They have a very strong connection, and the emotion between them is gorgeously written, and OMG, there is so much swooooon!

“I would give you the world if I could, sweetheart.”…
“You are my world,” I whisper.

And, bonus! Every now and again there is a chapter in Will’s POV – just at the right moment where you’re really wanting to know where his head is at. And it rounds out the story really well.

I’m really enjoying this cast of characters. With each book, I get to know them more, and I love all of them! There’s a lot of time spent with the extended family in this book (including a great continuation of the story for the couples from the previous two books), and I loved it whenever one or all of them showed up! They are a fantastic bunch, and the dynamics between them are sensational. There is obviously a lot of love between them, but the boys rib on each other, the siblings bicker like siblings, and when the girls get together – watch out! This book contains one of the funniest drunken girly conversations I have ever read! From orgasms to spanking and piercings, they let it all hang out, all in front of two poor hapless Montgomery brothers. The whole scene was just GOLD!

We are also introduced to Leo Nash, rock star, and hero of the next book. There are sparks already flying between him and Samantha (Luke’s sister) – and not all of them positive. I’m looking forward to seeing these two go head to head in the next book.

So it’s all pretty much win, really! It’s funny, it’s sexy, it’s romantic and swoony, and left me with a big, cheesy grin on my face. Definitely my favourite of the series so far! I loved it.

5 stars.
