Easy Kisses
The Boudreaux Series. Sexy. Intriguing. Easy. Simon Danbury, an internationally sought after motivational speaker, helps women from all walks of life with love, self-esteem, dating and career building skills. Handsome, witty and wealthy, Simon seemingly has everything a man could want. But appearances can be deceiving. While Simon may have the answers for millions of women all over the world, when it comes to his own love life, he’s a giant, sexy mess. Divorced, and convinced that he’ll never love again, the very last thing he expects is one Charly Boudreaux. Charly doesn’t want to be at this seminar in the middle of nowhere, but her sister made her go. She’s the one who has her life together. Great career, amazing family, nice home, and loyal friends. So what if she doesn’t have a man? She doesn’t need one. If she’s learned anything in her almost thirty years, it’s that men are more trouble than they’re worth. And they have a nasty habit of breaking your heart into a million tiny pieces. So she’ll sit through all of Simon’s touchy feely crap and go home and get on with her life. Except Simon isn’t really spouting crap, and when he smiles at her, the butterflies are ridiculous. Never mixing business with pleasure, Simon finds Charly, a bright spot in a universe that’s been dark for too long. But will he be able to resist her? And why would he want to?

Easy Kisses is the fourth book in the fabulous Boudreaux series by Kristen Proby who I absolutely adore, this time it's Charly's story.
Charly is sent to a seminar in Montana by her sister Savannah were she meets Simon Danbury the motivational speaker they start spending time together in a group getting to know each other.
Simon does not act on his attraction for Charly as she is a client but as the days go by it gets harder to keep his hands off her, one night they give in to the passion.
When the two weeks are over Charly goes home to New Orleans and Simon goes home to London, there is no chance for a future together or is there?
I loved the relationship between Charly and Simon they are funny, cute and super sexy, Simon has issues trusting Charly because of his ex wife can he get over his fears?
I loved all the family times catching up with the rest of the gang I always love these scenes in KP's books her families are always so close and I look forward to these in her stories and the Sunday lunch scene in this one was hilarious with the girls ogling the guys playing ball even Mama was drooling over Ben ;)
I loved everything about Easy Kisses but I love KP so every book she writes is a winner for me.
Can't wait to get my hands on Beau Boudreaux next.

It may be two weeks after I read Easy Kisses but that doesn't mean I forgot how much I loved Simon. When I first heard that Kristen Proby's new release was going to include a motivational speaker for a Hero I wasn't all that excited. I guess I just had this picture of some too-charming snake in my mind. But Simon was far from that, he was unbelievably the sweetest Hero I've ever met.
All of us like to swoon and drop panties over the asshole, tough, Hero, and that's wonderful. But then there's Simon, the tattooed, looks like a bad boy but is a sweetheart, guy, and he's equally hot with the bonus of back rubs. I seriously can't get over how hot it was when he would just randomly run Charly a bubble bath, or rub her feet, or give her a massage. He was so giving and conscious of her needs, I mean what human with a vagina wouldn't want that?!?
The story was intriguing and sexy, and bottom line, it was just pure amazing-ness. But that's what I've come to expect from KP so really I don't think she is capable of writing anything other than something I would love. And I could go on and on about why the book was good, but I don't think I need to I'll just let the 4.33 Star rating and my shrine to Simon speak for itself. So read this book or anything from this author if you want a guaranteed brilliant book.
P.S. When I picture my main man David Beckham as the Hero, you know that's a good book.

"4,5 Easy Kisses stars"
The first thing I have to say about this great book is that the cover is
"SO DAMN HOT AND DELICIOUS"!!!
I just can't get enough looking at it!
She's the most incredible woman I've ever met in my life.
Ok after obsessing with the cover it's time to start this review...
I really enjoyed this book. It was sweet, romantic, hot with two great characters and a very protective and crazy family to complete this story.The Boudreaux Family!!! I enjoyed that I read about this family together and how they become a team.
"You're the closest to heaven I'll ever be, Charlotte.
Simon was so sweet, thoughtful, funny, and really really HOT!!!I liked him a lot. He had his own demons and tried to survive them, but he was only a human. And Charly was pretty great too, and she had an obsession with shoes. She was a great friend, a loving sister and she wanted to find her prince like her daddy said...They both had some issues and I liked how they started to put the puzzle together and found their true selves!
"I was sad at the thought of you leaving. But I also don't want to be greedy or needy and ask you to stay. I know you have a business and a life that isn't here."
A big part of my life is here."
"You have a sexy mouth."
"Keep talking like that. I dare you."
"You dare me? What will happen if I do?"
"I'll take you out to the car and suck your clit until
you come all over my mouth. You're sweeter than this ice cream."
The sexy scenes in this book were as hot as it gets...Their chemistry was off the charts and I simply loved them together in and out of bed. My only concern about this book was that their love making was too short for my liking....I mean they started really good kissing, touching and everything and then BAM they were trying to catch their breaths... I wanted their action between the sheets to last longer...that's all!!!
"I missed this. Your taste. The noises you make. The way your body comes alive for me."
Sex in the middle of gorgeous shoes?Am I in heaven?
I enjoyed this book and I love this series period, so I can't wait what's coming next with Beau and mostly Savannah and Ben, who's book will take a while to get in my hands but patience is virtue...right???
Enjoy!xxx

ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review
I can easily say Easy Kisses by Kristen Proby was a fantastic read. Ms. Proby has once again sprinkled her fairy dust love magic as she has readers like myself swooning for the hot British hero, Simon Danbury. How can you say no to a book that has romance, Louboutins, and one British fellow saying, “Yes, love" as his term of endearment? Well the answer is simple, you can’t.
Easy Kisses is the fourth installment to the Bourdeaux Series and this time it chronicles the story of Charly Bourdeaux. Charly’s sister forces her to go on this self-discovery retreat in Montana in hoping that this trip will help Charly relax and at the same time find herself through the help of Simon Danbury, the motivational speaker leading the retreat.
“The fact that I haven’t been with a man in forever is of no consequence. I want this man. Right now.”
When Charly arrives at the retreat, she wasn’t expecting this retreat to be so refreshing and enjoyable. Well it turns out, the fresh Montana air and quiet time was what Charly needed to clear her head. While this retreat was good for her soul, she never expected to fall in love with Simon. One kiss was all it took for Simon and Charly to get addicted to each other. But what happens when the week long retreat is over and they go their separate ways with Charly going back to New Orleans and Simon back to the UK? Will these two discover that taking that chance on love is worth the risk?
Kristen Proby did an amazing job with this sweet, emotional and heartfelt romance. Easy Kisses was brimming with so much love, passion, and sexy moments that readers can’t helped but be charmed by Simon and his lovely accent. So if you are looking for a book that has perfectly weaved romance, raw emotions, second chances, and themes of family then look no further than Easy Kisses. Trust me when I tell you that you will definitely want to read the rest of the Bourdeaux Series.

I ♥ this book!!!!
“This is the first time my professionalism has ever been tested,” I whisper, surprised that the words are spoken aloud.
I adored Simon Danbury. With his resemblance to Henry Cavill and his British accent he had me melting right from the start. His passion for his work, how he really wanted to make a difference in women’s lives, make them realise their true worth was amazing. I loved how he was instantly drawn to Charly, how he wanted to do the right thing by not getting involved with a client but he just couldn’t stay away from her, wanting to spend time with her, to get to know her. And I really loved that after they parted ways when the seminar ended, thinking they wouldn’t see each other again, he went looking for her in New Orleans, because he couldn’t not see her again. And he was so perfect the way he listened to her, ran her baths after a long day of work, he even gave her a foot rub! *swoon* Luckily he wasn’t too perfect. His painful past with his ex-wife, the way she treated him, has left him with more demons and issues than he realised, and he messed up a few times with Charly, but he never had a problem with apologising, with grovelling to get her back. And that made him one of my favorite book boyfriends!
This man doesn’t just make my knees weak. He makes me forget that I even have knees.
Charly Boudreaux was amazing! She’s sassy, stubborn and so loyal to her family. She’s definitely my kind of heroine with her love of shoes (she even made a business out of it) and her need for organising (I loved that she kept spreadsheets for packing ;-D ). Despite her family’s wealth she’s always been determined to make her own way and with hard work she’s made her shoe shop a major success. I loved how she let her tough guard down around Simon, how she allowed herself to be vulnerable with him. And the thing I loved most about her was that she wasn’t hesitant in telling him exactly what she thought of his actions when he acted like an ass and that didn’t just readily forgive him when he messed up.
“You’re the closest to heaven I’ll ever be, Charlotte.”
Their instant attraction was fantastic, but the romance was still a bit of a slow burn which I loved. With every moment they spent together and apart you could see them fall deeper in love and even when they hit some obstacles, both struggling with the intensity of their feelings, they still overcame it because they loved each other, and in the end those hurdles were necessary and made their relationship so much stronger.
I have such a deep fondness for the Boudreaux siblings and their spouses. Their closeness and banter is amazing, and it was hilarious how Eli and Beau tried to intimidate Simon, demanding to know his intentions towards their sister. And that snippet at the end when Beau and Mallory meets…. *squee* I can’t wait to read the next book!!!
I adore this series so much and this book was the perfect addition. I can’t recommend this series enough. READ IT.

Review to come....
November 6, 2016
Book 4 in the Boudreax series was sweet and sexy love story with a drop of angst...of more of a bit of miscommunication. Charley is the oldest of the Boudreaux sisters and she is the focused, no fuss one. She has thrived on her own professionally and never really had time for romance and love. She has scratched her libido itch with a "friend" over a ten year period. She is basically living for herself and was not looking for anything when her sisters sent her on a self-finding retreat.
Simon Danbury is a "love yourself" guru, traveling around the world with his sexy London accent empowering woman to be better. He pushes woman to never settle all while harboring the guilt of his own broken relationship. He too was not looking for anything...until he sees Charley!
Instalust and appreciation...but no instalove! Now that is a winning combination. So with a weekend of no promises and good old fashioned hot sex, Charley and Simon bond then they say goodbye and head for opposite ends of the world. Fairly predictable that neither could forget the amazing connection! With a surprise visit from London...Simon is in New Orleans in hopes to win the heart of Charley Boudreaux...now if he can just open his own it would be easier!
This was a sweet romance with the Proby heat. The Boudreaux clan is close and their connections heartwarming. There was little fuss here, just two people falling in love for the first time and trying to navigate through new waters. With a bit of miscommunication and first love mistakes, Simon has to fight for Charley's hear! Good thing for him she gave it to him in the Montana mountains!

I admit, I'm a wee bit cynical...
I just didn't connect with this one. I can't say I'm a big fan of motivational speakers, so, unfortunately, Simon was already being looked at with squinty eyes. I just couldn't get my head around a bloke motivating and centring on women. I was a little leery of a man giving relationship advice to women. Simon's motivation seemed to be how to get a bloke like him...rich, successful and good looking. Sure, there was plenty of - look inside yourself...picture your dreams...don't settle for less than you deserve. It was all just a little hokey to me. Yep...My Name is Stacey of the Sassy variety, and I'm the biggest CYNIC that ever lived.
Again, I'm a huge fan of Sebastian York but it seems strange having an American narrator when Simon is English. What was even weirder is that the snippet at the end of Easy Melody was a Pom (if my memory serves me right).
A couple of hotheads getting together is always going to be explosive. Charly is looking for her perfect man...insta-love and a guaranteed happy ever after...hahahahahahahahahah!!!! Simon is scared to love or commit again after a bad marriage. He jet sets around the world motivating women to reach for their dreams, and she doesn't want to leave New Orleans. There's a lot stacked against them finding a happy ever after.
Honestly, I'm still convinced that Rachel Fulginiti should have narrated this series on her own. She makes the books come to life for me and I enjoy listening to her voice. Sebastian York's voice sends a shiver up my spine but it doesn't always mean that he's perfect for every book. Just my opinion.
I liked Easy Kisses but I didn't enjoy it as much as the others in the Boudreaux series. I will definitely be going on though because I think Beau is going to have his world shaken up and Malory is just the girl to rattle him.

Easy Kisses was great, but, I felt that Simon and Charly's relationship was just not filled with the chemistry that I felt when listening to the other Boudreaux books. Charly and Simon definitely had a lot of steam and that was nice but then their chemistry, I just never saw it.

Easy Kisses finds Charly (Charlotte Boudreaux) on the retreat mentioned at the end of Easy Melody.
This womens retreat is run by Simon Danbury, an internationally sought after motivational speaker. Simon captivated these women as he gets them to push themselves to the next level both personally and professionally. With Charly though he pushes something very different, he pushed her buttons in all the right ways, ways she had never experiences before.
The connection between Charly and Simon bleeds off the pages in this one, it is very clear they share a deep bond one that as reader had me hoping what a first appears to be a weekend fling would develop into something more.
Simon’s decision to take matters into his own hands put him in New Orleans in the path of the whole Boudreaux clan. I loved this, it was so wonderful to see the family interact, working to protect Charly and in the end embrace Simon for the genuine man that he is. Oh and the use of Sam, Charly’s nephew in this one was so adorable!
Simon and Charly are forced to face their demons but in the end the love they find is forever. It was so amazing to witness Charyl embrace he business scene and then work with the family to drive her business forward even more. There is a very touching scene around this and I so loved both Beau and Eli even more after reading it!
Though the Boudreaux patriarch is deceased from the start of this series, this book again had the children learn the lessons their father taught them, and this one take the relationship Charly had with her father and uses it with poetic grace to move the story forward.
I adore the Boudreaux family and I am so excited to continue this journey with them.
If the pattern holds then I am super excited for Beau, the oldest Boudreaux next!
Though truth be told I am DYING for Savannah and Ben to finally figure it out… well more like for Van to figure it out and embrace the love right in from of her.

Oh and the use of Sam, Charly’s nephew in this one was so adorable!
Simon and Charly are forced to face their demons but in the end the love they find is forever. It was so amazing to witness Charyl embrace he business scene and then work with the family to drive her business forward even more. There is a very touching scene around this and I so loved both Beau and Eli even more after reading it!
Though the Boudreaux patriarch is deceased from the start of this series, this book again had the children learn the lessons their father taught them, and this one take the relationship Charly had with her father and uses it with poetic grace to move the story forward.
I adore the Boudreaux family and I am so excited to continue this journey with them.
If the pattern holds then I am super excited for Beau, the oldest Boudreaux next!
Though truth be told I am DYING for Savannah and Ben to finally figure it out… well more like for Van to figure it out and embrace the love right in from of her.

This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance
Easy Kisses is a sweet and deeply emotionally riveting romance that takes its readers back to New Orleans with a sexy brit and a southern gal who discover what true love is really all about...
Easy Kisses was such a fantastic addition to this wonderful series and a bit different. What I have really admired about this series is how unique each book is to the sibling of the Boudreaux family. And this story takes some unique elements and implements a warm endearing love story.
Simon Danbury, an English Brit, has become famous for his inspirational retreats for women especially in his talent of building of women's self-esteem and learning to rise above challenges. Simon is hardworking, driven, and loves people. He understands what it means to be hurt by others and strives to help others rise above abusive relationships. He has a great sense of humor and is thoughtful and romantic. SUPER SWOONY!!!
Charly Boudreaux is one of the infamous Boudreaux family, she wanted her own place and set up a shop of shoes and dreams of expansion. But she has her own struggles and is emotionally in a tough spot. Charly is spunky, outspoken, but loving and supportive. She is driven and determined but craves love and commitment like her siblings have discovered and what her parents had together.
THIS is the BEST book of the series or what I have read from Kristen Proby so far....HOT DANG,,, this book was beyond dreamy and I just wanted to sigh in so many moments because this book is the epitome of why I read a romance. There is hardly any angst, which I really liked. Of course, Proby has to put in some kind of conflict toward the end because no relationship is perfect right? But what I loved about this book is how easy this book starts off and the relationship between Simon and Charly.
Charly has been coerced by her sister, to join this women's retreat in Montana. A completely different atmosphere, with mountains and hiking and bears. At first, she hates that she agreed to do this retreat but she soon realizes how good it is for her and how she needs some emotional and mental TLC. Charly works so hard with her business and needs this break and even though it forces her to face up to her past and what she really wants in life especially in the future with a man, she also comes to terms with who she is and where she wants to go on an emotional level. Then she meets Simon Danbury. Simon is a British motivational speaker for women (AWESOME!!) Truly, this man is beyond sexy because I love how kind and thoughtful he is. There is truly nothing wrong with Simon, except for the fact that he has some unresolved issues with his ex who really really hurt him. But I love how he is with women and how he views them and really he practically worships women and so cool. I love how respectful he is of them. Now he has a strong chemistry with Charly but knows that there is no future for them, and he refuses to give into temptation and compromise his values of these "women retreats" because he wants women to feel safe. But Charly is more than eager to get into his bed and the chemistry between them is off the charts. They seriously love being together physically and Charly starts to realize that Simon gives her what she has craved for years.
But then they go their separate ways until Simon realizes how happy he was with the short time that he and Charly were together and wants more because he knows that what they have is real and wants to explore it. So while working on his projects, he settles in New Orleans for a short time. Charly and Simon begin to "date" and really court each other. And of course, we have the Boudreaux brothers go all "protective" and make sure that Simon really cares for Charly. Which is pretty hilarious, because in some ways, men have not changed over the centuries hehe
There was such a normalcy to this story like honestly, you could see this book happening in real life....that is how real this story felt. Because the way they connect and date each other is so endearing and you can relate so well to it. But we also have two characters that are a bit flawed at times, and make mistakes. There is great personal growth for both these two individually and it was great to see them work though their own mistakes and become stronger together.
Overall I found Easy Kisses a truly endearing and profound story that will make you grin like a Cheshire kitty.....Kristen Proby has outdone herself with this treasure!!

I personally think a lot of us feel ashamed when we try so hard to help someone, only to have that help thrown back in our face or ignored altogether, and we are doing ourselves such a disservice in feeling that way. It’s important to speak up, and to talk to those closest to you so they can help you. No one who loves you will stand for you being manipulated or hurt, and you should not be ashamed to talk about it.

4 sweet, sexy, dreamy stars
Once again I found myself drawn to Kristen Proby and her fun, easy, sweet and sexy style of romance. This author writes pure comfort love stories, and I love that I can pick up any of her books and know that I’m going to get a great read that is low on angst, high on romance, and that will leave me with a big grin on my face. And now it’s Charly’s turn.
Charly Boudreaux has been talked into attending a women’s motivation seminar in Montana by her well-meaning sister. It’s not really her thing, but she soon finds that the time away from her real life and the hugely successful shoe store that she runs is just what she needs – especially when she gets to stare at the seminar facilitator, Simon Danbury, all day.
Simon is smooth, confident, charming and absolutely gorgeous. He feels an attraction to Charly just as she does to him, and when they start to spend time together outside of their sessions, their attraction only grows. As a client, he knows that ethically he can’t touch her, but when the seminar is over, it’s all on!
With Simon soon to return to his native London and Charly at home in New Orleans, neither of them have any expectations from their time together other than just enjoying each other, but once they get back to real life, moving on is harder than either of them anticipated. So Simon travels to Louisiana to spend some more time with the woman he can’t stop thinking about, setting up all sorts of sweet, hot and fun moments as they spend time together and really get to know each other – all under the watchful, protective and intrusive eyes of the rest of the Boudreaux clan.
Charly and Simon’s romance felt like an absolute fairytale. It’s natural and easy, and Simon is just so amazing! His charm and thoughtfulness is totally swoonworthy (think candles, a home-cooked meal and a bath with rose petals…. *dreamy sigh*), and he respects and values Charly, which I love. But he’s also a dirty talker and a demon in the sack, and wow, the love scenes are hot!
But Simon has been hurt before, and he still carries the scars of betrayal. And Charly has spent her life waiting for ‘just’ the right man – the one that she will recognise immediately as ‘the one’. Charly and Simon both need to learn to trust each other, and the depth of their feelings for each other if they are ever going to make a future for themselves – especially with so much standing between them.
I really enjoyed this book. As I expected from this author, it’s sweet, sexy and romantic with no angst and very little drama (which is dealt with functionally and sensibly with epic grovelling), and I laughed and swooned and was totally caught up in the romantic bliss of it all.
I love that we got to see so much of Charly’s family, and love the opportunity to see them so happy and loved up and fully intruding all over each other’s lives – their interrogations of both Charly and Simon were so funny! With only two siblings left to have their stories told, there’s a great intro to Beau and Mallory’s book up next, but it’s Savannah’s that I want, with even more tantalising hints dropped in this book, and I can’t wait for more.
A gorgeous read, I loved it. 4 stars.

“You're going to bloody kill me,” he says and rolls me onto my back so he can kiss me deeply. “But fucking hell, what a way to go.”

OMG! I swooned so freaking hard over this book!!! I loved EVERYTHING about it...about this series...about these characters! Sexy, sweet, and funny! My stomach clenched, my heart wouldn't stop fluttering. This was an absolute PERFECT ROMANCE! Charly and Simon were EVERYTHING! This series just keeps getting better and better. I only discovered Kristen Proby about a year ago, and she has quickly become an 'auto-buy' author for me!
"I remember just about every about you, Charly. In case you missed it, I'm quite taken with you."
AHHH! I fell HEAD OVER HEELS for Simon. Every single time he called Charly 'love' I just melted. OMG! And the anticipation and the sexual tension between these two....wow...I just couldn't read fast enough. The internal struggle that Simon went through in an effort to not lay his hands on the beautiful, sassy Charly made my heart flutter. When it proved to be too much and they finally connected, it was beautiful, HOT, and perfect.
"You're going to bloody kill me," he says and rolls me onto my back so he can kiss me deeply. "But fucking hell, what a way to go."
Did you just SQUEEE out loud? Come on...I know you did! Everything that came out of this man's mouth was delicious and I never wanted it to end. Who knew mixing business with pleasure was so DAMN enticing!
I would just like to point out that I haven't read all of the Boudreaux Series by Kristen Proby, but what I have read, was absolutely brilliant! The family dynamic, the wonderful characters, the hilarious banter, the storylines...it is all just perfection!

Slick's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
As a long time fan of author Kristen Proby I can definitely say her writing gets better with age, that's not to say I didn't love her early work because Lord knows the With You series holds special memories for me, but Easy Kisses is the latest in a long line of outstanding work. I love family series and the Boudreaux clan is an interesting group and the enigmatic Charly has intrigued me, so I was very excited for her story, to get inside her head and to understand the reasons behind why she's lived her life the way she has, but I was also very happy for her to find love with a man that came out of nowhere and slowly, steadily, and completely made her fall head over heels (pun intended and if you know Charly, you'll understand it)!
Charly Boudreaux loves her family, loves her business and loves her shoes possibly in that order depending on the day so she is off to Montana to attend a self help seminar that her sister Savannah talked her into. She knows her family is worried about the amount of time she spends working and them friends with benefits arrangement she has with her friend Ryan so she's going, what she doesn't expect it to love the great outdoors of Montana so much or to be entranced by the seminar's leader Simon Danbury.
I loved the innocence in the way these two met and the fact that while Charly was charmed by the charismatic Simon she wasn't fawning all over him. There was attraction something that they both fought especially Simon given that Charly was a client, but every time they spent time together the conversations they shared, the covert glances, the sparks when they innocently touched it was so obvious that keeping things professional was going to be next to impossible during the two week conference. As this story was told from both points of view, we get to really know both of these characters pretty well which meant when they were apart it was easy to see how much they meant to one another. There were some issues and both Charly and Simon had some things to work through, but especially Simon who was so good at helping others find their way had neglected his own mental health and it took something big to make him see it.
We were treated to several scenes with the Boudreaux clan including one where they are all together and that just made me realize how much I love this loud, crazy and loving family. Charly gets a special visit from someone as well and it helps her a great deal when she needs it the most.
Easy Kisses had many moments of sweetness, but it was every bit as sexy as I expect from Ms. Proby and in addition it was simply a very well thought out and put together romance.

Another sweet book in the series, but still not reaching more than 3 stars for me. I don´t know why because the overall ratings seem to be over 4 stars, but I´m not feeling that though :(
July 1, 2016
Debo admitir que en el libro anterior cuando descubrí la profesión de Simon y que Charly iba a asistir a un simposio de autoayuda, dudé mucho en leer está historia; pero como he leído todos los libros de Kristen no quise romper la tradición.
Easy Kisses indeed...
Simon Danbury es una especie de "Life Coach" centrado en mujeres, ayuda a las mujeres en creer en si mismas y atravesar momentos difíciles en sus vidas, especialmente en sus relaciones. Charly Boudreaux asiste al dichoso simposio como favor para su hermana Val, quien todavía está recuperándose de las consecuencias de un mal matrimonio y un marido abusivo, además de ser la perfecta excusa de pasar unos días de vacaciones en Montana.
La atracción entre Simon y Charly es algo que va creciendo a lo largo de la estadía pero de una forma muy profesional mientras dura el simposio. Para mi sorpresa, y a pesar de mi opinión inicial sobre la profesión de Simon; me gustó mucho todo el planteo. Simon no tiene título profesional (al menos no se especifica eso) es simplemente una persona carismática que sabe llegar a la gente y que ha vivido una experiencia traumática, como modo de salir adelante decide trasmitir lo que aprendió y ayudar a los demás a que hagan lo mismo. No es libro de autoayuda ni mucho menos, todo está centrado en los personajes y sus pensamientos.
Momentos románticos muy sexys.... Simon es un romántico como todo galán literario debe ser y la conversación con Charly es muy natural; el único problema es que él vive en Londres mientras ella en New Orleans.
Como siempre, el humor y las reuniones de toda la familia Boudreaux está presente, vemos como los demás personajes de la serie siguen con sus vidas y tenemos pequeños vistazos de las futuras parejas. La magia de New Orleans está incorporada en las tradiciones y costumbres de la Familia Boudreaux ..... me quedo esperando la historia de Beau y Mallory; también Val y Ben merecen su final feliz. así que creo que tendremos Boudreaux por un rato más.

Charly and Simon's story was sweet, sexy and very charming. Great addition to the series

The Boudreaux series has another hit with EASY KISSES!!!
When New Orleans shoe store owner Charlotte Boudreaux meets British women's life coach Simon Danbury, sparks fly. Simon knows he shouldn't get involved with a student in his classes, but Charly's tough to resist and the two fall head over heels for one another quickly. Once their time is up, the two say goodbye, but it isn't long before Simon makes the trip to New Orleans to see the woman he can't get off his mind. But is there any way they can make a real go of it when logistically there's obstacles in every port?
I really enjoyed this sweet, sexy 4th book in the Boudreaux series by Ms. Proby. Simon was like the ideal man: sensitive, sexy, sweet, sensual and super in touch with his feminine side. He taught lectures to large groups of women on how to increase their self worth and confidence levels, wrote award winning books and was all around famous for being a great catch. Charly was awesome too…a spitfire, feisty and spunky. I loved how much she loved shoes, a woman after my own heart!! They were electric together, and the sex was scorching! There wasn't any extended drama or conflict that didn't get resolved, just a sweet and erotic love story between two people who just fit together.
Bottom Line: If you're a fan of the Bourdreaux series, you'll fall in love with Charly and Simon's sweet story! - See more at: http://www.theromancereviews.com/view...

4 "Easy Kisses; I love NOLA" Stars!!
I really do love Kristen Proby's writing style. She has the big family/friends dynamic down to a science. This is why I love her books so much. They are all about the family and friends. The fantastic cast of characters.
EASY KISSES is no exception. The Boudreaux family is great. They are a joy to spend time with. Charley (short for Charlotte) and Simon are both great MCs. Charley is smart and sassy with some sweet southern charm. Simon is sexy and sweet with just enough bossy-man in him to make him swooney. Honestly, Simon had me when Charley said he look like Henry Cavil. *sigh... Any who, I was going along smiling and loving this story about two people meeting, getting to know each other and falling in love; thinking this was maybe enough to squeeze out 5 stars from me when BAM out of what seems like nowhere, but in hindsight there were signs, the (unnecessary) drama hits. But it's ok, what's a romance book without a little drama.
Overall, I loved it! I love this series! I cannot wait for Beau and (hopefully) Mallory's story. Happy reading!

Any who, I was going along smiling and loving this story about two people meeting, getting to know each other and falling in love; thinking this was maybe enough to squeeze out 5 stars from me when BAM out of what seems like nowhere, but in hindsight there were signs, the (unnecessary) drama hits. But it's ok, what's a romance book without a little drama.
Overall, I loved it! I love this series! I cannot wait for Beau and (hopefully) Mallory's story. Happy reading!

Started off great and I was loving it. British Simon was kind, caring, considerate, charming, sweet and great between the sheets. ;-) He and Charly have super charged chemistry and BAM they’re off exploring their new found connection. I’m thinking this is my fav so far in the series if something just doesn’t go wrong. Simon and Charly have a little setback early on due to a misunderstanding but it gets cleared up quickly by intelligently t-a-l-k-i-n-g it through.
So this story is rocking along and I’m very pleased when, of course, near the end cue the angst…..there is a major misunderstanding. Kind of a surprise since Simon is all about the “get in touch with your feelings” that he blows things up. Another case of both parties intelligently, talking things through would’ve resolved the misunderstanding between the two and the HEA could have been aligned much sooner. That put a ding in my rather happy reading experience and keeps this one from being a solid 4 star read.

I loved this series about The Boudreaux family and I was waiting for a story of romance for Charly, and it did happen when she meets motivational speaker Simon who has some baggage of his own to clean up before he tangles with the Boudreaux siblings. As usual the characters are all lovable but unfortunately I found the story line dragging along at a snails pace. Great narration by Rachel Fulginiti and the wonderfully sexy voice of Sebastian York.

4 shoetastic stars for this one! The books from this series are kinda the same for me. Its light and easy with some angst in it. I liked the shoe thing and the fact that Simon was british.

This was cute and sweet and sexy like the other books in the series. I didn't love Simon and Charlie quite as much as the other couples. Maybe it was how mean Simon was to her, I'm not sure. I did like seeing the other siblings and their partners and I just want Savannah and Ben to get together already!! The Louisiana accent is nice to listen to and I love the family dynamic of these books.

Swoon-worthy, feel-good romances with enchanting storylines and guaranteed happy endings are the reason why Kristen Proby's books are always at the top of my TBR. Proby’s books are fast-paced and addictive, brimming with characters you can’t help but love. Case in point: the author’s Boudreaux series. With the release of Easy Kisses, we’re four books in and I’m just as captivated by the love lives of the Boudreaux siblings as I was at the start of the series. My captivation *may* have had a little something to do with the sizzling romance between protagonists, Charly Boudreaux and Simon Danbury. The combination of the feisty, strong-willed businesswoman and the charming British motivational speaker is immensely entertaining but also emotionally compelling. Easy Kisses is undoubtedly a fun, sexy addition to the Boudreaux series.
Easy Kisses briefly departs from New Orleans to take readers to Montana, the location of the self-help retreat led by our hero, Simon Danbury. Charly Boudreaux is a reluctant attendee who comes away with not just a better understanding of what she wants in a healthy relationship, but also an unexpected attraction to Simon (then again, the man bears a resemblance to Henry Cavill, so maybe the attraction isn’t so unexpected…). Their banter is witty and flirtatious, with an ever-present undercurrent of sexual tension simmering between them. Their chemistry is so explosive that they could’ve easily gotten caught up in a whirlwind romance, but they’re both more realistic about engaging in a relationship under their separate circumstances. The fact that their romance is a slow-burn helped me to better engage with Simon and Charly as individuals and as a couple. It is a healing experience for both Charly and Simon as they navigate their burgeoning feelings for each other and come to terms with opening themselves up to both happiness and pain. I love when characters work towards a relationship because it makes their happy ending that much sweeter.
With a romance that will sweep you off your feet (figuratively speaking, of course) and a cast of characters that bring life, love, and laughter to the pages of the book, Easy Kisses delivers heat and heart. I love when a book evokes feelings of bliss and contentment, and with Easy Kisses, I was left with a huge smile on my face courtesy of Charly and Simon. If you’re in the mood for a quick lighthearted read that’s sure to tug on your heartstrings, Easy Kisses is a must-read.

Charly Boudreaux was coerced by her sister into attending a woman's retreat in Montana. She never expected that the speaker, Simon Danbury, would be so charismatic or that they would be attracted to one another. The most involved she has ever been is a casual friends-with-benefits relationship. Simon is divorced, but intuitive with women. He fights his attraction due to professionalism, but they have definite sparks and compatibility.
But she lives in New Orleans and he is a world traveler who resides in London. Neither expected or are prepared for any kind of entanglement. It gradually builds over the two weeks and weekend. They are definitely the right people in the wrong place and time with lots of bad history from their pasts adding fears and insecurities.
What happens when they go back to real life and miss each other? Can they really let go or find a way?
I loved Simon. He was a hot Brit with a good understanding of women and a big heart. He was funny, sweet, thoughtful, but also passionate, protective, and sexy. But he was not perfect. His past left him with some scars and triggers that when set off could make him jump to conclusions and react strongly.
Charly was a fun, sassy heroine. She was smart, independent-minded, and giving. She was empowered by Simon's workshop with new understanding of herself and her own needs. She loved hard and with her whole heart, but only those who could get past her guards. And once hurt, it was hard for her to trust again. And she has a large protective family willing to shield her if necessary.
They had good chemistry and were really fun together. They had a mutual admiration, respect, and good conversations. But they both had fears and insecurities from their pasts making trust, effective communication, and jealousy issues. They could overreact and hurt each other. And their lives and careers already added more complications.
This was another easy, engaging read in this series. I have come to really like this crazy, lovable, protective family and was glad that they were all a part of this story. I like getting the dual points of view and truly getting into each character's head. It was sweet, humorous, passionate, and romantic with just enough drama and angst to make it interesting.
I like the set up for Beau's book and I am really looking forward to finally getting to Savannah and Ben (I hope).

Ein weiteres Mitglied der Boudreaux-Familie findet in diesem Buch den Partner fürs Leben. Absehbar aber doch immer wieder toll.
Hier steht Charly im Mittelpunkt, Inhaberin eines Schuhladens ünd ziemlich überarbeitet, bei einem Seminar verliebt sie sich in den charismatischen englischen Leiter und eine heftige Affaire nimmt ihren Lauf. Leider hat er zwar für die weiblichen Teilnehmer seiner Kurse immer viele wertvolle Ratschläge, wie sie ihr Leben in die Hand nehmen können, er selbst leidet aber noch unter seiner gescheiterten Ehe und hat Probleme, Charly zu vertrauen.
Das war wieder ein schwächerer Teil der Reihe, das Drama wirkte ziemlich aufgesetzt und so richtig haben mich die Charaktere auch nicht gepackt. Die sexy Momente waren nett, aber sie konnten das Buch für mich auch nicht wirklich retten. Ich hoffe aber, dass der nächste Teil wieder besser wird!

Ahhh I wanted to love this book so hard and I did like the story very much butttt the narration threw me off.
Simon is supposed to be British and he does have an accent “some” of the time… And that really threw me because I know he was supposed to have this sweet yummy accent.
Sebastian York is freaking awesome but British accent he does not have.
Charly’s story is really sweet and sad and I am glad she gets her HEA in the end I was rooting for her in the previous books.
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*
