From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby, you can now enjoy her beloved With Me In Seattle series in these special bundles.
Bundle One includes four novels; Come Away With Me, Fight With Me, Play With Me and Rock With Me. A novella, Under The Mistletoe With Me, and four bonus scenes are also included!
COME AWAY WTH ME: 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?
FIGHT WITH ME: Jules Montgomery is too busy and content with her life to worry about a man, especially one Nate McKenna. If growing up with four brothers has taught her anything, she knows to stay away from sexy men with tattoos and motorcycles. That goes double if he's your boss. During the one incredible night they shared, he violated the no fraternization policy...among other things, and it won't happen again. Jules won't risk her career for mind-blowing sex, no matter how much her body and her damn heart keep arguing with her.
Nate McKenna could give a shit about the no fraternizing policy. He wants Jules and he'll have her. The rules could bend around them, or be damned. He's not a man to be taken lightly, and Jules Montgomery is about to find out just how he responds to being pushed aside after the best night of sex he's ever had. She can fight all she wants, but he'll have her in his bed in the end.
PLAY WITH ME: Will Montgomery is a successful professional football player and seemingly has it all. He’s not used to being told no, and certainly doesn’t take no for an answer. So when he turns his charms on his sister’s sexy rocker-chick friend Meg, he’s not only turned down, but met with open hostility, piquing his curiosity and libido. He’s determined to show her that he’s not the arrogant jock she thinks he is, and to get her into his bed.
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?
ROCK WITH ME: Front Man Leo Nash from the world-famous rock band, Nash, is the last person on earth Samantha Williams would trust. She's already learned about loving a celebrity the hard way and isn't signing up for another lesson. Every time Sam gives Leo attitude, he wants to knock that chip off her fragile little shoulder. What the hell did he ever do to her, anyway? He's not used to women treating him like he's poisonous, and he isn't about to let her run away every time he gets close.

I decided to leave a comment on here because This bundle has extra content that the individual books do not have. I have already left reviews on the 5 main stories in the bundle but, there's more than that in here.
First, there's 'With Me in Seattle Mother's Day' which is a very sweet 1 chapter story that I think takes place after 'Rock With Me'. All your beloved characters are there along with their parents. It's exactly what the title says. It shows you every one at Will and Meg's house celebrating Mother's Day. It a great little moment to experience with the extended Montgomery-Williams clan.
Second, there's 'A Very Montgomery Christmas' which is a story telling of how Meg and Will spend their first Christmas together. This of course takes place after 'Play With Me'. Again another awesome and, if I might say, Hot and Steamy story. It's also very sweet and romantic. It's a little show of how far they've come in their relationship and how close the two of them have gotten. How much they've learned about one another. I love it.
There is also extra content for the main stories.
First, there is an extra epilogue for 'Come Away with Me' told from Natalie's POV. This is the original epilogue that did not end up in the first release of the book. I love the released version told from Luke's POV but, I also am extremely happy that KP gave us this look into what Natalie was feeling and thinking throughout it as well.
Next, there's an extra prologue told for 'Fight with Me' told from Nate's POV. Again, I love the version in the book but, I am so very thankful to KP for releasing this and giving us a look into Nate's head.
Last but certainly not least, there is an extra scene at the end of 'Rock with Me' that takes place about six months after the story ends. It shows where Leo and Sam are with the house and in their relationship. It's a fun story that's about 1 chapter long. Again, it's just a nice catching-up with them story that rounds out the series nicely.
I love how KP gives you all these extra little moments with our beloved (extended) Montogomery-Williams family. She leaves almost no stone unturned. She gives a look at each character aft the HEA. Thanks KP for the extra thought and work you put into this amazing series.
COME AWAY WITH ME: Wow Ms. Proby has a way with words, with all her teasers she's been giving us, I knew the book would be good, I just wasn't expecting great. Then not to mention all the sex holy cow, it's like how much sex can two people have! ( I don't mean this comment in a bad way, I didn't even mind the sex scenes it shows how much Luke and Nat really care about each other). First impression of Luke well he was a tad bit scary, and holy crap (yes I'm using that phrase alot in this review as I don't know what else to say) Luke is just something else! Natalie, well that woman can surprise you, and the things that come out of her mouth. When her and Luke are on their first date "Are you embarrassed to be out with me?" She speaks her mind and she doesn't hide who she is, and the fact that she loved shoes. "I'm a woman. I am desperately, irrevocably in love with shoes." Then when Luke says "There is nothing for you to be uncomfortable about when it comes to your body. Eat whatever you want. I love watching you eat. I'd love to work out with you, just because I love watching you move. Your curves are beautiful and I can't wait to get my hands on them again." it was like DAYUUMMM man I want someone to say that to me! There was this one scene I laughed extremely hard at although I don't think Ms. Proby meant it to be funny but I just couldn't help myself, you know Luke has such a way with words, "I'm not giving the flight attendant a f**king show." THEN you know Luke will make it into your heart when he says "I'm the man, you just tell me when and where to show up and what I'm supposed to wear and I'll be there." It's like why can't all men be like that when it comes to weddings. I enjoyed this book soooo much and I can't wait for "Fight with Me" to come out next year!
FIGHT WITH ME: Yep, had to read this right off, gobbled it up! Kristen you have such a talent, it's like you know how to write perfect men to get us girls going. "Number one, I don't give a f**k about the no frat policy here. Any relationship I choose to have in any capacity I choose to have it, it's none of their business." Oh Nate you do something to me! Nate is honest and he's not afraid to go after what he wants. "You will not run out on me this time. If you decide you want to leave it will be after you've discussed it with me first so I don't wake up to any surprises." "Okay," I murmured. "Did i wound your fragile ego that badly?" I ask sarcastically. "No. You hurt my feelings and that doesn't happen often. I'd rather not relive it." Jules I just love her, speaks her mind, is blunt, and I love being able to know what she's thinking at times as they are just to funny. "Are we seriously going to jump right into bed? No, hey would you like a drink? Or would you like to watch a movie? Just welcome to my home, get in my bed." I love how she talks to him on a few occasions one: "So, my conservative-looking, suit-wearing boss has a tattoo and has his penis pierced?" I asked with a smile." Two: this scene made me laugh so hard I spit my milk out that I was drinking. "Because you're a man, you've had your hands on me, and they love me. And I think it has something to do with owning a penis. It makes men want to beat the shit out of each other. I'm thinking about doing research on it." I really enjoyed this book probably more then "Come Away With Me" I love Kristen's writing, I can't wait for the next book in the series although I'm not fond of waiting until March Ms. Proby!
PLAY WITH ME: Meg I loved that girl right off, her thoughts truly amuse me, and her outspokenness DANGGG! "I've been doing my best to ignore Will Montgomery, aka Football Quarterback, aka arrogant ass all night." See what I mean she's just blunt! She also has a 'you will not walk all over me attitude' that I loved about her, "Let's get something straight right now. I'm not some stupid groupie who's dying to get into your pants and I'm not your baby." Will can take what she dishes out and the boy gives it right back to her, "Number one, don't assume. Ever." His voice is hard and immediately grabs my attention. "Number two, yes, we're busy but we can find the time. And number three, I'm interested." Then Will has this playful way about him that is just so freakin' adorable you have to love, "Yes, I'm terribly sick of you. You eat too much, hog the bed, and cheat at video games. Not to mention, you require way to much sex. But, I'm muddling my way through." He's also possessive it's like damn man! "You are mine, damn it. I will protect you from anyone and anything, do you understand?" His eyes are narrowed, on mine. "I don't need your permission to make you safe." I loved this book but "Fight With Me" is still my fave, I'm ready for the next installment!
ROCK WITH ME: Sam is different from all the other leading ladies in Kristen's bookies, she took awhile for me to warm up to, but I do agree with her in some aspects of what she thinks, "and I guarantee not one of us girls is going to complain about watching Leo, Nate and the Montgomery brothers lift heavy objects. Holy hot men." Leo oh my gosh, Kristen knows how to write hot, sexy boys and Leo is no exception, "don't ever lie to me, sunshine. I don't ever want you to run until your legs give out on you like this again. The only time your legs will shake like this is if I'm inside you." Leo is also one possessive man, "do you have any idea how twisted up you have me? You're mine, goddamn it." He's possessive of her body as well, "get over it, sunshine. You're mine, I'm yours, and I will touch you." When Leo and Sam are together you see a different side Sam one where she lets loose, "gee, this is awfully fast. I usually ask a guy to buy me dinner before he can just insist I spread my legs." I like how Kristen writes the next characters for the next bookie she writing into the one we're reading, so we don't go into the next book blindsided.
This is the first Kristen Proby novel that I read and I was not disappointed. Why did I wait so long?!
Natalie is a photographer and she was snapping pictures early one morning on the beach when a man approaches her very upset about it. He didn't want his picture taken and this confuses Natalie since she wasn't even taking them of him. After calming him down she finally get his name, Luke Williams. Later that morning they once again run into each other and this time he asks her out.
Luke keeps his work a mystery and Natalie does the same. At first,he seems a little odd but he is a very private person and that mystery adds to his sexiness. He really is yummy...the chemistry between them is undeniable and show it whenever they get the chance. He makes the most romantic gestures and is overall amazing. And Natalie is sassy, sexy and sweet...and a little mysterious herself.
They do have to go through some ups and downs in the relationship but that makes it believable, doesn't it? I loved this book and Kristen's writing style, great mix of sexy, funny and drama.
Quotes:
"My heart gives a flip as he smiles, a true full-blown, no-holds-barred smile, wiping away the sadness, and shakes his head slowly. He could melt glaciers with that smile. End Wars. Resolve the National Debt Crisis."
“I want to kiss him for caring enough to be jealous, and smack the s* out of him for being so jealous he’s almost blind with it.”
He tenderly cups my face in his hands and slows the kiss, pulling back so he can look into my eyes, and I see the love reflected back to me. It makes me glow inside, and it makes me want to run as fast as I can in the other direction.
***FIGHT WITH ME***

Great...now I want to read it again. And you will love Jules too...she is strong, funny and a fighter.

This book is also really funny, the girls from the previous books get together and their night out are hilarious. Drinking+Girl Talks= Crazy night! (Love this chapter)
Quotes:
“You turn me inside out. I want to * you seven shades of Sunday, and I want to make long, slow, sweet love to you for days. I’m craving you, go**amit it, and you can’t just say * like that to me when I know what you taste like, and what you look like and I need desperately to know what the * you feel like.”
"Meg, how do you spell cock?" "I don't know," I wrinkle my forehead in thought. All my words are gone. "Shot, I have 'nesia!" "S*," Brynna replies. "I think you spell it c-o-c-k. But you're are not suppose to spell it Jules, you're suppose to suck it." "Sonofa-" Caleb utters and answers his ringing phone. "Hi Will. I sound like this because this drinker than * women won't stop talking about sex..."
“You need to understand, Megan, once I make love to you, you’re mine.”
***ROCK WITH ME***
You met Leo Nash in Play with Me as a friend of Megan's and Sam is Luke William's sister. These two did not hit it off from the start. There was definitely a connection but Sam has her walls up and Leo is a very cocky flirt. I love it and I can tell she does too.
Leo Nash is a Rock Star and a very hot one at that. Sam has done the dating a celebrity thing and does not want to go that route again. But when Leo hits the chip off her shoulder little but little, Sam finally gives in. They have one night of passion and Sam fights with herself that it has to be a one-night no strings attached fling. They go through the roller-coaster of emotions and figuring out what the relationship is...
Leo is a hot rock star...tattoos, piecing and can write songs! He is very intense in the bedroom and Sam has no complaints. He can go hard and fast or sweet and slow....and Sam and she tough, independent and has a smart ass attitude, this could be a perfect match if she opens up.
Quotes:
“Now you’ve * a rock star. How do you feel?” “Like everyone else you *. Used and ready for you to leave”
“I call you sunshine,' he whispers and brushes his knuckles down my face, 'because when you smile, you light me up inside.”
“I’ll take you hard, and soft, and every way in between.” He grips my face in his hands and looks down at me, his nose touching mine. “I’m going to * the * out of you.” Oh God, yes! “And I’m going to make love to you until you’re shaking and don’t remember who you are.”
***BONUS: UNDER THE MISTLETOE***
Under the mistletoe with me is the story about IsaacMontgomery and his wife Stacy. They have been married for 10 years and have an infant daughter named Sophie. Isaac and Stacy have a misunderstanding and Isaac decided to take Stacey away for the weekend to rekindle their relationship. It is one hot weekend where they can explore each-other in new ways.
I like the fact that it is about a married couple that go through what many couples go through. They want to find the sexiness they had before a little one came along. It was also pretty cool that Stacy is a blogger for Romance novels.
Quotes:
"The best thing I ever did in my life was make you mine, Stace.”
"I like your ass too, it's slapable."
"Strip," he commands and leaves me to start the shower in the impressive bathroom. I grin as I hear the water start. I love it when he gets all sexy and bossy on me.
Hmmm where to start. I had such high hopes. I love series, I love the feeling of being within the family. These characters have such promise, so many to build from. I forced myself to finish this first book in this series, normally I cannot wait to get to the next. I’m disappointed, I’ve bought both bundles of this series.
I am all for sexy scenes in books, but the first book was just overloaded with them. I’m talking at least two in every chapter but the first. I scrolled through so much of the first book. The repetitive text really got to me. The overuse of beautiful was way over the top. Everything was beautiful. You’re so beautiful Natalie. No you’re so beautiful Luke. Your hair is beautiful. His hands are beautiful His body is beautiful His mom is beautiful His Sister is beautiful Her best friend is beautiful The pungent sound is beautiful His house is beautiful Her house is beautiful Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful..... I just can’t read the rest of the series. I read through a bunch of reviews and the books apparently have the same thing going on.
It’s just not my thing. Maybe I will go back and try another book in the series, I just can’t do it now.
