| Come Away With Me (With Me In Seattle, #1) Kristen Proby November 9, 2012 |
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:
Come Away With Me is the debut novel by author Kristen Proby, and based on this, it most certainly won't be her last.This is one of those romance novels that just feels good to read. The writing flows well, and I instantly related to both of the main characters. They connected with each other well too, and boy were those some steamy connections! I absolutely loved the little details that Ms. Proby puts into the descriptions of both the characters (the idea behind the tattoos made me want to get one!) and the locations (I want a guesthouse to convert into a studio!). There wasn't a whole lot of drama or angst, but the fights they did have (including, of course, how they met) were deliciously tense. I also really enjoyed the secondary participants in the story, especially Nat's roommate Jules, who Ms. Proby sets up nicely to have her own story (which I've heard a rumor is filled with yummy angst!). A great debut- looking forward to reading more from this author.
