4 ‘Completely Romanced’ Stars
What an amazing start for this romantic and über HOT brand new series! Sweet, ultra sexy, and with a hint of suspense, Kristen Proby has me yet again hooked from the start in this series, and already anticipating the next book.
Let’s just say Finn and London first meeting was at one of the worst possible situations. With a probable career ending injury and grieving the loss of her parents, the day of the reading of their will, the timing couldn’t be worse for Finn’s first approach on a possible date. One thing I’ve got to say on this is that I love that he was so completely drawn to her that he lost his normal strict composure and notion of time inappropriateness, lol. Like he says himself, that was totally out of character for him, and I liked that point.
Around two months after they meet again by chance, and now on her way to recovery and healing, London can realize the sizzling chemistry between them and appreciate the smoking hot specimen that is Finn, as well as allow herself to start moving forward with her life. Finn takes this chance with both hands and it’s full steam ahead in his courtship and seduction…
“Do you make that noise often when you eat?”
“What noise?”
“The moan.” She frowns. “I don’t know, why?”
“Because if you do, I’ll have to make sure I don’t eat with you anymore. It makes me want to fuck you, London.”
London is such an intricate character, specially with her background as musical’s headliner, and recent pain from the horrible incident that caused her to not only almost losing her life, but having her parents ripped from her, she reveals such a strong, sassy, independent – even too stubborn at times, lol – persona, that never gives in easily to Finn’s ‘control freak’ nature, and it’s fantastic to see the organic way in which they adapt – or argue – to being a couple.
“To be understood is profound. You understand me. It’s a big deal.”
The natural feeling but speedy relationship development, coupled with those smoking HOT sexy times – that made me believe this is, not counting that scorching hot menage, lol, KP’s steamiest book to date. Sure they have some bumps in the road, but I adored how he never gave up on her, and ALWAYS went to her, even if she didn’t initially felt it exactly what she needed. And Oh boy, did this man pack a punch, his dominating personality was raised to some serious epic sexy moments. Yep, not only did the man rock in the romantic department, he was unforgettable between the sheets – or in the town car, lol.
If I’m not mistaken, Finn Cavanaugh just claimed me. And it was the hottest moment of my life.
Finn and London’s story was the perfect appetizer for this new series that I have no doubt will leave us just as captivated as all the other fantastic ones that Ms. Proby has given us. That ending though, even though I know we will have a follow up on the couple in the next book, for an Epilogue lover like myself, the short time lapse ones always leave feeling somewhat not fully satisfied, and wanting to see what I have no doubt their HEA, but in their own book. So yes, now, like the KP addict that I am, I’m seriously counting down the day for the next book, not only to fall for the next brother, but also to see more Finn and London! All ready for more Romancing Manhattan! <3 <3 <3 <3
I’ve never believed in love at first sight, but since I met Finn, I’ve hardly been able to see much of anything else.
“I love you, more than I ever thought it was possible to love another person. It seems that you came crashing into my life in one big, magical storm, and I can’t remember what it was like before you.”

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.
During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.
Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.
Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.
