Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This series is pure, romantic escapism!<\/p>\n

Book 2 of the With Me in Seattle<\/i> series focuses on Jules, the feisty best friend of Natalie from Come Away With Me<\/a>, and my newest book boyfriend, Nate McKenna *swoon*.<\/p>\n

Nate and Jules work together, in fact, he is her boss. And after one HOT night together eight months ago, Jules totally freaked out, knowing that their company has a no-fraternization policy and they were both risking their jobs by being together. So she snuck out of Nate\u2019s bed and has done her best to avoid any intimate situations with him since. Nate has now decided he\u2019s had enough of that – *sigh* there\u2019s something so incredibly sexy about a guy who is determined to get his girl, and Nate is one determined guy\u2026 And we love him for it! He invites Jules to spend the weekend with him at his house so that they can \u2018get to know each other\u2019 better. And, despite her concerns for her job, and because she\u2019s not a complete idiot, she agrees.<\/p>\n

And so begins an absolutely gorgeous love story. Nate and Jules have sensational chemistry. Their relationship is intense, and moves fast, but it\u2019s also realistic. There is some great banter, and they communicate openly and honestly. I love how functional they are together, and despite some blips along the way, it\u2019s a beautifully romantic swoonfest. With sex\u2026 lots and lots of sex! Damn, Kristen Proby can steam up the pages!<\/p>\n

Nate is a gorgeously slick businessman, hiding a tattooed and pierced (yes, he\u2019s pierced!), motorcycle-riding bad boy underneath.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, my conservative-looking, suit-wearing boss has a tattoo and has his penis pierced?\u201d I asked with a smile.
\nNate laughs and takes another pull on his beer. \u201cYes. You didn\u2019t seem to mind the piercing, if memory serves correctly.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He is smart, confident and oh-so sexy, and he\u2019s not afraid to show his feelings, and he has some very deep feelings for lucky Jules! He is essentially, the perfect man \u2013 loving, supportive, affectionate and so incredibly romantic, but with an irresistible dirty side. Yep, perfect! I don\u2019t think I can fault any of his behaviour in this book, he\u2019s just amazing. I was in a constant state of swoon for large portions of this book! And Jules is a great heroine. She has a vulnerable side, but she is confident, strong, independent and not afraid to speak her mind. And I just love the way that these two are no-nonsense, straight up and honest with each other about what they want, and they just get on and do it (and they do it lots!).<\/p>\n

\u201cYou came into my life, and you just blindsided me. I am so fucking wrapped up in you I can\u2019t see straight.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I really enjoyed getting back into this series, and seeing the extended group of characters again. I love the dynamics between them all, it\u2019s exactly the kind of friendships and family you\u2019d love to have in your life. Natalie and Luke from the first book feature heavily, and Jules\u2019 older brothers are sensational. They’re so supportive and protective of their baby sister! Gotta love those Montgomery boys! And Will \u2013 OMG, Will!! So excited for his book up next!<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a major storyline outside of the romance. There are some issues that they need to face together, but it\u2019s all pretty tame, and the outcome is predictable, but I like that. I knew it\u2019s what I would get when I started reading, and it\u2019s the exact reason I picked up the book, so I got exactly what I wanted.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re after an intelligent, funny, blissfully swoony and steamy romance that is easy to read and pretty much angst-free, get into this series \u2013 you won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n

4 swoony stars.<\/p>\n
