Stay With Me (With Me In Seattle) (Volume 9)

I waited patiently for this book with the excitement of Christmas morning, only to be disappointed at what I unwrapped! IMO there wasn't a connection between the characters and the reader, the story was mediocre bordering on being boring! There were some pop ups of fan favorites from previous books but not enough to pull this book out of its slump! I have been a fan of the With Me In Seattle books from day one and have read everyone multiple times, this is just not in the same hemisphere of greatness as the earlier books!
2.5 generous stars for the love and endless hours of pleasure this series has brought me.

Absolutely loved it! It was like a reunion with the best friends ever. I started the book and actually tried to read it s l o w, itwasjustwaytoogood! I finished it at 4am and it's worth being tired today! Thanks for a great book?

Wow! This series keeps getting better and better!! I would love to be a part of this family!! This installment makes me so happy and i couldn’t put it down!!! It has everything you need in a book!Read this book today!! You won’t regret it!

Wow! Again Kristen Proby hits it out of the park. I'm so glad this series isn't over and hope there are more to come. Her books grab you from the beginning and your sad when they end because you could just keep going. Thank you for another fantastic read!!!

Kristen has taken us back to Seattle with more Montgomery family members. It is so great to catch up with characters that I have lived from the beginning. Wyatt and Amelia are great and just another amazing couple threAten has created. Thank you for taking us back!

Kristen Proby has mastered the ability to merge new characters with old, all while keeping me very intrigued with everyone. Stay With Me comes 4 years after the novel we thought was ending the With Me series. It moves on in real time so past characters are now years older with growing kids and new ones on the way. You see them a good bit but, and here's why I love KP, they don't overwhelm the current story. Instead they were blended perfectly with what was happening to where we still got to learn about their lives but it wasn't so much that it took away from Amelia and Wyatt.

Which was also good because I loved Lia and Wyatt! They were so perfect together and I really thought they were super sweet with one another. Both of them had some hangups about relationships because of their exes, which brought a little angst to the story. But it also gave readers an opportunity to see them working past those issues and for me I just thought that was brilliant.

Bottom line, this is a book that needs to be read. Honestly, even with all the past characters mentioned you could still read this one without reading the previous books and not be spoiled. I can't wait to see what else this series will bring us but I know it will be amazing.

Lookit this surprise!
I didn't even know there was going to be another one of these, so when I ran across it today, I was pumped! I love this series!

So, in this one, we have Amelia, who is cousin's with all the Montgomery's. She's a beauty blogger/vlogger, which I don't know why, since it's so new age and alla that, but I find that so cringy. I shouldn't, but I just do, the whole reality star, social media influencer, it seems juvenile to me; but that could just be me. Maybe I'm just too old, I dunno.... but whatever, it was working for her, I reckon. Anyway, so, upon divorcing her d bag husband (don't worry, he gets almost zero page time, really only mentioning him) she takes her lawyers advice to get out of town, because he's already contested the divorce and she doesn't want Amelia served with anything else. So, she packs up and goes to Seattle in Nat's old place.

Wyatt, is her neighbor across the street. He's hot, sure, but Amelia isn't interested, what with still having problems with the last guy she was with... but that doesn't stop Wyatt from being charming and cute and completely winning her over... even if I did find him ridiculous at times.
Problem is, they both come with some baggage and they're both intent on making the other one pay for their exes mistakes.

Now, I get it.... I was married before, and am currently married now.... I shudder to think of all the trust issues and psycho tendencies that I brought with me from my first marriage, even though I"d been divorced for years before I'd even met my now husband. So, I get it... when you get used to something being a certain way, like the verbal and mental and emotional abuse, or a cheating spouse. Its hard to move past.... but as an outsider, I wanted to shake them both, him more than her though.

I also thought that Lia took on too much of the blame where Wyatt overreacted a time or two. Girlfriend, get that backbone... be more like Jules! Amelia didn't have a mean bone in her body and she'd never hurt someone's feelings or be intentionally rude or misleading. I hated that she felt so bad when even when she was explaining her divorce, you could tell that she didn't think she'd done anything wrong. It wasn't a secret.... I wanted to slap Wyatt and I was glad she made him work for it, once he got his head out and apologized for overreacting... which he was prone to do.

Overall though, I loved seeing the family... all the guys and their ladies and kids. I'm hoping we get more from Wyatt's brothers, Jace and Levi, I'm betting they'd be just as hot as the Montgomery's.
All's well that ends well.... we get our HEA!
4 stars from me on this one!

I was so excited to #ReturnToSeattle with Kristen Proby with the release of Stay with Me a new book in the With Me in Seattle series that launched her career!

If you've read her best selling With Me Series, you know why I was excited the moment I saw Stay with Me was releasing!

The heroine in this one is Amelia Montgomery, yes more Montgomerys, Amelia's is the first cousin to the Montgomery clan the series centers around.

Wyatt Crawford was wow, this architect who works from home was honest and compassionate. He was a man with definitely sex appeal but I loved that he wasn't a manwhore.

Amelia is returning home to be with her family and she too works from home I will let some of this play out for you when you read but I will say Wyatt's support of Amelia's career, really their mutual respect of each others career, was something I truly adored!

As these two allow each other into the other's life the pain of the pasts rears it's ugly head... the balance of wanting to embrace what is in front of you without life experience clouding your vision was a strong theme here.

This is a true return to the series as Ms Proby masterfully weaves the cast from the prior books into the plot offering the reader both fun looks at their current lives and support for Amelia as she rebuilds her life back in Seattle with her family.

And ...that... that is the one thing that had me throughout the book; this book felt like coming home; like sitting down with friends; Will is still hysterical (and he has a great scene or two), Jules still teases Nat about her kissing Luke and well...... I simply couldn't put this book down...

Ok well full disclosure... I did put it down a few times to dip in the pool but in my defense it's HOT in the desert!

I am so looking forward to more writing in this world, I hope Archer and Anastasia Montgomery (Amelia's siblings) get stories and... and.. I hope Wyatt's brother Jace and Levi do as well. Speaking of the Crawford men, I love how they intertwined into this world, Levi working with Matt and Jace, well Jace the surgeon has a few wonderful scenes that I won't spoil. Jace would be my I hope he comes next pick but I just happy this series has a new life!

In the end the happy Amelia and Wyatt find is the happy each was meant to have and in the end this continues to be must read series for me! Thank you, Kristen Proby for allowing readers to return to this world.

Side Note: If you haven't read the With Me in Seattle Series by Kristen Proby I highly recommend it as a binge summer series read!

When Kristen Proby announced and wrapped up this series in 2014, I was sad to see one of my favorite series go. But as a fan/reader you understand that all good things do need to come to an end. Still, I just wasn't entirely ready to let go.

So this comeback... oh boy... this comeback was PERFECT! Meeting new characters, catching up with all time favorite ones, Going back to Seattle is just what my heart needed. Stay With Me made me feel like I literally left Seattle and came back home. The time has passed, and everyone, including the new characters have grown. The banter, the Montgomery's...guys.. the girls night out that I want to be part of not caring these are fictional characters.. I missed all this and love that it's back.

OK, let's put the fangirling moment on hold... for now.

Amelia and Wyatt are off the chart sexy. Ohh.. should I mention that both Amelia and Wyatt have siblings, that clearly need their own books. (Kristen, I so hope you are reading this, because I need more!) I seriously can't stop fangirling over this book if I wanted to.

Stay With Me was just that.. coming home and being welcomed with open arms. It's funny as it is sexy and let's not forget the swoon factor that only Kristen Proby can deliver. From start to finish I was invested. Be ready to fall in love again...

So Ms. Proby, can I have some more?? Please.

4,5 stars

Even though this book is a standalone, if you've read the With Me In Seattle series, it will be even greater!

I loved that series so hard! I remember when I started a few years ago, and I was a goner for Kristen Proby's work. Since Luke and Nat (Come Away With Me), I'm a total fan!!

So when I hear the news that the series I love so much was coming back, I was thrilled!! And it came back with full force, the amazing characters we know and love, and some more characters that we have no choice but love just as fiercely!

Amelia Montgomery is, as her surname indicates, part of the clan and they guys' cousin.

Getting out of a bad marriage, she has a lot of baggage and it's definitely not expecting love. But when her sexy neighbor, Wyatt, introduces himself, even if she doesn't know at the moment, her life is about to change!

Wyatt was also burnt in the past about his marriage, and he is not exactly looking for someone.

But their chemistry is undeniable and soon enough, they are all in!

They are both hard workers, loyal, funny and so smart and they love with all they have.

Reading Kristen's books is always refreshing, and reading this series again with this new amazing characters made me so incredibly happy!

“Everything you do sets my body on fire.”

You know that story that you never knew you craved until it comes to fruition? Yeah, that’s what this story was to me. STAY WITH ME by Kristen Proby was sexy, sweet, romantic, and absolutely delicious! The With Me in Seattle Series is and ABSOLUTE MUST READ for every single romance reader out there! It’s one of those series chock-full of incredible characters that become a part of a literary family that you will cherish forever. And now we are adding Wyatt and Amelia to that family and I couldn’t have been more happy with the outcome! These two were BEAUTIFUL together. Their story melted my heart and lit up my soul. I laughed. I swooned. I teared up a bit, but I never, NOT ONCE, turned away from the pages before me. Absolutely unputdownable, Ms. Proby captivated me with her brand of storytelling that ALWAYS makes me weak in the knees. I loved it! I never knew how much I needed their story until I saw the book cover and read the blurb. Another MUST READ from an incredible GO TO author!

For those of you who LOVE the Montgomery clan and are dying for more...your prayers have been answered. As far as I am concerned, this series can go on forever (after all, one is titled Forever With Me......just sayin).

Amelia Montgomery (cousin to Jules and all her amazing brothers) decides to head back home to Seattle to escape the never ending drama of her Ex. What she's not prepared for is the man across the street....Wyatt Crawford. Wyatt also has a drama filled past with a horrible ex. Neither has any desire to fall in love again, but sometimes fate has other things in mind.

This is a sweet, easy to fall into book exactly like the rest of the With Me series. We get to spend time in Nat's original house and catch up with the whole gang. It really is just like going home again....for Amelia and for me.

Well they just keep getting better, just when you thought you’ve read the best one in the family, Kristen hits us with another family frenzy. I adored Amelia and Wyatt holy hotness. Their chemistry was crazy and hot and it sizzled.

She’s sassy, I LOVE SASSY STRONG FEMALES. She’s totally kicka$$ . Ahhh and how do you not love thy neighbor? Holy hot mouth. I’m sooooo in love with him. The family is back and bigger and better than ever.

Was a fantastic book. A total page turner, full of sass and heat. I can’t wait for what’s next.

Opening up Kristen Proby’s return to Seattle, was like coming home. The characters were warm and inviting. The setting was perfect. The romance was real and raw. The story was everything I fell in love with when I first read a Kristen Proby book. STAY WITH ME is the family a reunion you want to RSVP to

Ms Proby has done it again. Loved this story. Of course all of our favorites in Seattle make an appearance. This story is about second chances and how Lia and Wyatt take those chances. Very hot! I hope we get to see Jace and Levi perhaps in another book. Hint hint.

No cliffhanger
Standalone
Told from both POVs

I have loved every book in this series and was so excited to see she was writing more. This book might be one of my favorites of the entire series. It was nonstop hotness and super sweet at the same time.

What starts as an unexpected one night stand turns into a love of a lifetime, but secrets could ruin everything.

The question is whether Wyatt and Amelia can leave their pasts behind them or will they make each other pay for the sins of others.

Couldn’t put it down! Absolutely loved this book.

Kristen writes stories about romance, friends and family that capture your interest and never lets go. I would recommend this book and the whole series to anyone who likes steamy romance and good stories.
