Wild for You by Kristen Proby

 




Wild for You by Kristen Proby is now live! 


From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new small-town series set in Montana, starting with WILD FOR YOU, an Age-Gap, Single Dad, Nanny, Grumpy/Sunshine romance!



Remington Wild is a single dad of two adorable kids, and as the oldest son of the Wild family, has recently taken over the Wild River Ranch from his father. Life is crazy, and he’s finally willing to admit that he needs help, and the sooner the better. He has no idea that the beautiful woman he sees every day at Biterroot Valley Coffee Co. is the woman who would show up for the job.


Erin Montgomery couldn’t get out of Seattle fast enough. It’s not that she doesn’t love her big, loud family, but living in the big city just wasn’t for her. The minute she stepped foot in Bitterroot Valley, she knew she was home. She loves the slower pace, the friendly people, and her job at the coffee shop. Even the smoking hot grumpy guy who stops in every afternoon can’t put a damper on how much she loves small town life!


Thanks to car trouble, and her stubbornness when it comes to using her trust fund, Erin needs a second job and applies for the position of a part-time nanny. She’s surprised to find that it’s Grumpy himself who answers the door at the ranch, but Erin quickly learns that she loves his kids and the ranch, and it’s a no-brainer to take the job. She just has to remind herself to resist the sexy rancher and keep it strictly professional.


Remington is attracted to his younger nanny, and finds himself falling headfirst in love with her. He and his kids have never been happier, and he knows she is the perfect addition to their family for as long as she’s willing to stay. Hopefully forever.


But when secrets are exposed, one of which endangers his children, will their love survive? Or will it tear them apart?


My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

“…Not everyone is born in a place that feels like they belong.  Sometimes, you have to find it.”

Erin Montgomery never felt like she belonged in Seattle and when she visited Bitterroot Valley while on vacation, she knew it was what she had been looking for.  She loved living the small-town life and her new job, well everything except the grumpy man who comes into the coffee shop every day.  If she didn’t need the money to repair her car, she never would consider taking the nanny position.

“I never believed in love at first sight, but I took one look at you at that coffee shop, and I knew I was a goner.”

Remington Wild, a single dad of two kids, has taken over the
family’s ranch.  He didn’t want a nanny
for his kids, but he finally realized he needed one.  He never expected the woman from the coffee
shop to show up for the position.  But he
quickly realizes he is falling for her and she is a perfect fit for his family.

"And in case I haven’t made myself clear to you up to this point, you mean something to me, too. If you think I won’t do whatever it takes to keep the three of you safe, you don’t know me as well as you think you do."

Wild for You is the first book in The Wilds of Montana
series.  This small-town, age-gap, single
dad, nanny book set the standard for this series extremely high. I absolutely
loved the grump/sunshine relationship between Erin and Remi.  The pacing was perfect and the characters had
plenty of layers that slowly got revealed. 
This wonderful heartbreaking book had my emotions feeling like they were
on a rollercoaster. I highly recommend reading this book and will certainly be
rereading it.  I cannot wait for the next
book in the series.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Scramble by Kristen Proby

 

Hating Christmas has always been easy.
Until she meets him.

The Scramble, an all-new holiday, meet-cute romance featuring a heroine scrooge and a hot hero who loves Christmas from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby, is now available!

There are two things you need to know about me. 1: I’m never late. And 2: I hate Christmas. Yes, I’m a girl who hates the holidays.

My entire, enormous family is already enjoying their holiday vacation in Iceland, but thanks to my busy job and having to meet them there, I’m late. They could have chosen any holiday to fly across the world, but Christmas won, which sent me scrambling because the end of the year is my busiest time. It’s difficult to carve out moments to see the family at all.

So, now, I’m forty thousand feet in the air, trying to get to Iceland before Christmas morning, all while also attempting to get some work done. If only the hot guy next to me would leave me be.

Dylan says I should put the work away until after my holiday and relax a bit. And while his suggestion of spending some time together on the north Atlantic island seems preposterous, I can’t help but feel intrigued when he promises to show me how to enjoy the Yuletide season properly.

After all, I can’t possibly spend every minute with my family.

But how do I just shrug off my duty to my job and throw caution to the wind for a stranger...no matter how handsome he is? Because that’s something else about me: I never throw caution to the wind—even a beautiful, blustery Icelandic wind.

Then again, Mama always said, “Never say never…”


My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

The Scramble is a novella (book #2.5) in A Single in Seattle series and is also part of the 1001 Dark Night collection.  It was a great holiday romance that was a quick read that will have you in the holiday mood.  I had no problem reading it as a standalone and actually enjoyed all the family time.  

Maddie was a workaholic and reluctantly agreed to travel to Iceland for the family gathering for Christmas.  She planned to leave the next day until her family and Dylan encouraged her to take time off and enjoy her vacation.  Dylan was traveling to Iceland for work and was instantly attracted to Maddie when he saw her on the plane.  He does something he has never done before, a vacation fling.  But after spending time with Maddie, he wanted more.  

I loved this short story and highly recommend it if you are looking for a short holiday romance.

Take A Chance With Me by Kristen Proby

 

Take A Chance With Me by Kristen Proby is now live!

A friends to lovers, soulmates story from Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling author Kristen Proby, set in her beloved With Me In Seattle Series!

Cameron Cox has mastered the art of keeping secrets. His talent for computer hacking means he's been recruited for highly classified jobs since leaving the military. He travels the world, risking his life. But his biggest secret isn't from a government job or a foreign spy.
It's Maggie O'Callaghan.
He's loved her from afar, always standing by as the friend. He's been her rock through the hardest days of her life. But after his dangerous past comes crashing into his life and threatens the only woman he's ever loved, he has a choice to make.
Give up the secrets and win her heart.
Or watch Maggie walk away with his.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Take A Chance With Me is the eighteenth book in the With Me in Seattle series by Kristen Proby. I’ve not read all the books in the series, but I have read enough of them to adore the large and close-knit O’Callaghan family.  This is the fifth book of The O’Callaghan and even though they don’t have to be read in order, they are better that way.  Besides once you read one of them you are going to want to read them all!

This is Maggie and Cameron’s story and the tension between the two of them was high in the previous books.  I could not wait for this book, and it was so worth the wait.  It was engaging, had all the large family feel goods, and all the charming O’Callaghans.  Cameron always seemed mysterious in the previous books, and I loved getting to know him.  He was the calm to Maggie’s fire.  I was happy to see Maggie finally put the past behind her and start a new life with the man who had adored her forever.  This was such an amazing book and as much as I wanted to see this book, I am sad it is the last one for the O’Callaghan family. 

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Play With Me: A With Me In Seattle by Kristen Proby

 

Play With Me: A With Me In Seattle 
by Kristen Proby

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Blurb:
As the hottest and most sought-after player on the Seattle professional football team, Will Montgomery has it all. He’s not used to being told no. When he meets Meg, a gorgeous nurse at Seattle Children’s Hospital and turns on the charm, he’s not only turned down, but met with open hostility, piquing his curiosity and libido. Will’s determined to show her that he’s not the arrogant jock she thinks he is.

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?

Shelter by Kristen Proby

Shelter by Kristen Proby is now live!

A small town, close proximity romance from New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kristen Proby.

Remi Carter has survived her fifteen minutes of fame and is putting LA in her rearview mirror. As a former reality show contestant, she's trading staged expeditions and faked wilderness tours for real adventures. Only one fluke storm in Glacier National Park has her stranded with a handsome man, and adventure takes on a whole new meaning.
Seth King is as rugged and sexy as he is annoyed to be trapped with Remi. Probably because she ghosted him at the local bar not three days ago. But she's got her reasons for ditching him, and twenty-four hours in an abandoned Montana cabin with the wildlife biologist isn't nearly enough time to explain. As tempting as he is by firelight, she's been burned too many times.
Except one day together and suddenly her travel van doesn't hold as much appeal. The open road feels lonely. Remi's about to learn that shelter is more than a safe place to weather a storm.
Shelter might just be the man himself. If he can give her a reason to stay.

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

My review:

Shelter is the second book in the Heroes of Big Sky series by Kristen Proby.  I haven’t read the previous book in the series, but this was perfectly fine reading as a standalone.  It was short, easy to read, and fast-paced.  The characters were likable and easy to connect with.  I enjoyed meeting all the King family and characters of Cunningham Falls.  I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the rest of the King family in the future.  This was a charming story that makes you feel good and leaves you smiling at the end.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all new novella set in her beloved With Me In Seattle series…

Zane Cooper. Hollywood royalty. Fourth generation superstar. He knows what it is to be one of the biggest celebrities in the world. And how lonely that title truly is. When scandal hits, his career hangs in the balance, and Zane flees LA for Seattle, laying low with his newly married best friend. Things will eventually blow over, and he’ll have his life back soon enough.

Aubrey Stansfield arrives in Seattle excited to start a new job, and eager to settle into her new home. But when she arrives at her rental, Aubrey’s sure she’s imagining things because the uber sexy Zane Cooper is unpacking in her new bedroom. Thanks to a rental snafu, and unwilling to relocate on such short notice, Aubrey and Zane are thrust into being roommates.

Aubrey is about as average as a woman gets, so what could the megastar possibly see in her? She tells herself she’s not interested, despite their undeniable chemistry. But Zane is very persuasive, and soon Aubrey finds herself playing house with the most recognized man on the planet. Deep down, she knows it’s all a fantasy. He’ll head back to his posh lifestyle soon and leave her behind. No way could she fall in love with him.

Sneak Peek!

“Who are you?”
My heart jumps, and my stomach jolts as I spin and see a man walk out of the master bath. He’s tall. He’s frowning.
And he looks familiar.
“The question is, who are you?” Why did I leave my purse—and my mace—in the kitchen?
“You’re in my condo,” he retorts.
“No, you’re in my condo,” I reply and cross my arms over my chest, trying to look mean. “This is two-oh-three A. Mine. If you’re going to murder-death-kill me, I’m going to ask you to take today off and do it to someone else because I’ve had a long drive, and I need to get ready for my new job. Now, see yourself out.”
Is that me, sounding all calm and collected?
I’m never this calm. Or collected.
Seattle is clearly good for me.
“I hate to burst your bubble,” the stranger replies, “but I’m not leaving. I leased this place, and I’m moving in today.”
“But.” I frown. “I leased this place. And I’m moving in today.”
I stomp out of the bedroom and head straight for the kitchen, opening my bag to retrieve my phone.
I also set my mace on the counter, just in case.
“I can show you the lease.”
“Same,” he replies. “Landlord fucked up.”
I blink, open my mouth, then close it again.
“What’s in here?” He opens my pink box and surveys the goods. “These cake donuts are my weakness.”
Before my eyes, he grabs one and takes a big bite.
“So now you’re stealing my house and my food?”
“I didn’t steal anything,” he says with a full mouth. “Well, except the donut.”
“You’re going to have to move,” I inform him. “I already paid for the first month and the security deposit.”
“I paid six months in advance,” he says, swallows, and then smiles. Suddenly, I know exactly where I’ve seen him before.
This is Zane Cooper. The actor. The celebrity.
He must see the recognition in my eyes because his go ice-cold.
“I can’t afford to find a new place,” I inform him. “It took me a month to find this one. And it’s perfect for me. It’s less than six blocks from the school I’ll be teaching at, so I can walk every day. And it’s furnished. Plus, it’s close to the water.”
“Definitely perfect,” he agrees.
“Oh my God, why are you here?” I demand and prop my hands on my hips. “You’re a gazillionaire. You could literally go anywhere. Why do you want my condo?”
“I’m not a gazillionaire,” he says and crosses his arms over his chest. “I’m more of a trazillionaire.”
“Pretty sure that’s the same thing. So, go build your own building and live in it.”
“Nah.” He picks a piece of donut out of his teeth and shakes his head slowly. “I don’t think I will. I’ll stay here.”
I blink at him and start to feel helpless. My savings is in this place. I don’t have enough left to rent anything else.
And I don’t have time. I start work in just three days.
Part of me wants to cry, but I’ll be damned if I let this hoity-toity movie star see me upset.
So, I do the only thing I can think of.
I prop my fist on the opposite hand in a challenge of rock, paper, scissors.
“What are you doing?” he asks, raising one sexy eyebrow.
“The adult thing,” I reply primly. “Best out of three wins?”
He blinks twice, looks from my hands to my face and back again, then shrugs one muscular shoulder and assumes the position.
“Fine,” he says. “I’m going to win—wait. What’s your name?”
“Aubrey,” I say and lick my lips. “Aubrey Stansfield. And you’re Wyatt Earp.”
His lips twitch into a half-smile. “I only played him on TV.”
I chuckle and say, “Ready?”
“Go,” he says, and we thump our fists three times.
I land on scissors.
He fists for rock.
Damn it.
“Let’s go again,” Zane says.
One. Two. Three.
I land on paper.
He chooses rock again.
I grin, and his blue eyes smile back.
There’s a reason Zane Cooper is the hottest sex symbol in the world. Good God, I might combust just from standing next to him.
All the more reason to get him out of my house.
“Last one,” I say. “Go.”
One. Two. Three.
I land on paper again, assuming Zane only knows how to use rock.
But he forms scissors.
I breathe deeply and reach for my last damn donut.
“That’s mine,” he says, and I whirl on him.
“This is mine,” I reply hotly. “I stood in a bloody line in Portland for it, just this morning. I drove all the way here from Arizona. I’m tired. I’m a little scared. And now I have you in my house, and you won’t leave. Even better than that, you just stole it out from under me.”
“I won it,” he reminds me. “Fair and square. The donut, that is.”
I stop and frown at him. “Huh?”
“I won the donut. In the rock-paper-scissors game.”
“I was playing for the condo, Wyatt.”
He barks out a laugh. “Not me. I want that donut.”

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

My review:

Change With Me is the #17.5 novella in the With Me in Seattle series.  It was easy to read, fast-paced and easily a one setting book to read.  Change With Me is part of the 1001 Dark Nights series which can be read as stand-alones and gives new readers a chance to explore new authors.  Even though I have not read any of the other books in the series I do not feel as though I missed anything by jumping into the series.  The characters were charming and perfect for each other. 

Zane Cooper, famous actor, needs to lay low until the scandal blows over.  He decides to leave LA and stay with his best friend in Seattle.  Aubrey Stansfield leaves Arizona after her grandfather dies to take a teaching position in Seattle.  She loves teaching children and is ready to start over in a new city and school.  When they unexpected rent the same apartment they decide to being roommates since neither has another place to go. 

I enjoyed reading this book and getting the chance to read some of Kristen Proby’s work.  It was well written and was just enough to know I like her style of writing.  I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinion are my own.

Flirt With Me by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes an all new novel in her beloved With Me In Seattle Series!

There are two things Maeve O'Callaghan values more than anything else: her family and her career. Being the eldest daughter in a large, close-knit and somewhat chaotic Irish family means spending most of her nights in the family-owned pub, serving drinks and food, always accompanied by a smile. During the day, she's a superstar real estate agent, selling homes on her beloved island just across Puget Sound from Seattle. She doesn't have time for much else, and she's perfectly okay with that.

Enter Hunter Meyers. He's looking for a new place to call home, somewhere out of the city, and believes life on the island could be just the thing for him and his troubled teenage daughter. While in search of finding the perfect house, his sexy realtor catches his eye, making him feel things he hasn't in years. But with the added baggage of a surly teen and a past that will never be forgotten, how can he make something permanent with the gorgeous Irishwoman who tempts him like no other?

Maeve isn't just attracted to Hunter with his killer grin and muscles for days. The teenager that tries so hard to push her away also pulls at her heartstrings. Maeve understands the importance of family, and can see herself making just that with Hunter and his daughter. But when his past comes back to haunt him, will their love be strong enough, or will they be ripped apart forever?

My review:

Flirt With Me is the seventeenth book in the With Me in Seattle series but I read it as a stand-alone and did not have any problems following the story.  This was a new-to-me author and I really enjoyed reading it.  It grabbed my attention from the beginning and kept me interested until the end.  The characters were interesting, and I loved meeting all the O’Callaghan’s and their friends.  Maeve and Hunter were the perfect couple.  I love how Maeve and her family were so friendly and welcoming to Hunter and Rachel.  This was a heart-warming story, and I would recommend it.  I will certainly add the other books in the series to my TBR list.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
