Emily

It’s not every day you are offered your dream job, so when my chance came, I had to take it. Pierce Advertising was one of the top advertising firms in the world, boasting a stellar reputation and clients with household names. The drawback? It was located across the country—away from the Arizona sunshine— in rainy downtown Portland, Oregon. So, with my best friend Kat along for the ride, I packed up my entire life and made the move, building a new and exciting life in a new city, with hopes of my career blossoming. Of course, moving also meant leaving my college boyfriend of four years behind. His picture-perfect life included a wife and kids, and with my professional goals calling louder than ever, the end of our relationship was inevitable. The wet weather had to be more conducive to focusing on my career than my love life, or so I thought anyway.
What I didn’t expect from my new city? It doesn’t actually always rain, and the unexpected dry days would clear the way for a mysterious and devilishly handsome stranger to enter the picture. A man who holds the power to ruin everything I’ve worked so hard for.

First of all, I loved the descriptions of Portland. I felt like I was there! And all of the food descriptions were making me hungry… But that was just icing on the cake. Conversion was a sweet and steamy book, and the chemistry between Emily and Reid was undeniable. I loved that the ex-boyfriend wasn’t a jerk – it added an extra layer of complexity to the story. I also loved the friendship between Kat and Emily. Awesome read!

Grab this perfect beach read!

This fast-paced book gave me all the feels of being back in the dating scene and the dynamics involved. It’s also racy in all the right ways.

The storyline gives homage to female friendships and how important they are. This portion of the book is well balanced and highlighted which is very refreshing as most of us need strong platonic relationships as well, if not more than, romantic ones at times.

Conversion is also rich with yummy cocktails and foodie delights. I really enjoyed the Portland, OR setting as its a crazy cool city and not your typical backdrop.

Great, fun read for the beach, pool, or just cozying on the couch.

After reading too much of fantasy genre this books feels fresh for me. I miss romance fiction and reading this book is what I need for romance.

This book gave me some good old nostalgic feels. The days when I was new to reading books and romance was the only genre I read. This book brings back all those memories.


Plot:
Kathryn and Emily are two best friends who does everything together, moves to Portland to live their dreams wide.

Emily who just broken up with her boyfriend to have a better career, concentrates on her career but when she meets her new boss who is extremely hot and devilshily handsome enter her life, she can’t help but get involved with him.
Career is not everything in life right?
There’s a point where Emily needs to decide what’s best for career and her heart.
So will Emily be able to have both career and her love life? For that you need to read and find out.

I love Kathryn very much in the book. The fact that she moved to totally new place just to be with her friend is something I love about her.
Kathryn is the best example for one having best girl friend.
The way she lighten ups Emily’s mood, she helps Emily at every possible way is what I love most about her.
Kathryn reminded me of my good old days when I used to have low days and my best girl friends cheer me up.

Coming to Emily I like the fact that she chooses her career over some man to settle in a place is very aspiring.
Emily’s relationship with Kathryn is so good.
They are perfect best buddies.


Author:
The writing is so simple and can be understand by anyone. The author’s importance of friendship between them in the form of Kathryn and Emily is beautifully portrayed. And we can see the woman power in this book very well. How a girl like Emily leaves her boyfriend and forever together to have future for Herself shows how every girl should learn to dream big and not settle for less.


I thank these authors for sending me this book to have adventures of two best friends. I very much enjoyed reading this book.

Reid and Emily were a wonderful couple. He was a Billionaire, but he was very down to earth and I didn't feel he was over the top rich (even though he was) as he seemed very normal and just loved Emily to death... I could literally feel how much he cared for her. I LOVED HIM... he was not perfect and he had some secrets and I didn't see the big one coming at all. But I still loved his character he was so real, and he had real emotions!
Emily and her BFF & roommate Kat, they were the best, I loved their relationship and how much fun then had living together after graduating from college. I loved their wine time, Kat making Emily coffee in the mornings and their Bachelor Monday's. Their relationship is what girlfriend are supposed to be about. Kat was happy for Emily, not jealous of her new relationship and included Reid and shared their Bachelor Mondays. I loved their relationship and their special bond. Can't wait to read Kat's story and see what happens with her and her men.

These ladies can write and they give details but not to the point where it is just fluff... I could visualize the streets and especially the garden. It was the little things that Reid did, from holding hands, to always believing and protecting Emily even when she was mad at him.
Definitely one click this, you will not be disappointed!
I look forward to reading more from these author's!

Moving and engaging story.

I really loved this story. So many gorgeous and engaging characters. I love the relationship between Emily and her best friend Kat. And all of the main male characters are gorgeous and swoony in their own way. Add to that the picture painted of Portland, and making your way in a new city - there was just so much to love about this book which gave me all the feels - I can’t wait to read more.

This is such a lovely sweet book with some steam thrown in too. Emily and Reid have that undeniable chemistry and I loved reading their story come to life!

Though never having been to Portland it's definitely now on my list of places to go as the descriptions in this book make it sound incredible!

This is a great debut and I cant wait to see what else the authors do!

🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is my first book for either of these authors & I am pretty sure this is the debut novel for both of them. Ladies, well done! The chemistry between Reid and Emily is off the charts! I love the chance meeting that these to have in a night club & the eventual realization that the handsome stranger is really the owner of the company that Emily works for.

This book is a duet & there are definitely unanswered questions at the end of the book, but the place the authors chose to break to the next book was well chosen. Off to book 2, I really need answers!

This is book one in The Conversion Series and it is Emily and Reid's story and what a great start to a new series and a new author writing her first book. Omg I was absolutely glued to this book and I loved it so much. The chemistry between Emily and Reid was not only intense but so hot that you could feel it sizzling of the pages of this book. The characters and storyline pulled you in right from the start and you have to keep turning the pages right until the last one and I can't wait to read book two to see what happens and what the future holds for Emily and Reid. Kristen Seagren is a brilliant author and writer and I can't wait to read more of her books in the future. Fingers crossed and I hope we eventually get Kathryn's story as she is a special lady and a best friend that anyone could wish for. I definitely recommend you read this book as it is so well written and definitely worth reading.

This is the 1st book I've read written by Kristin Seargren; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

This is the 1st book in the Conversion Series; it is a stand-alone book. The story is about Emily & Reid.
