Review: Change with Me by Kristen Proby (With Me in Seattle #17.5)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by 1001 Dark Nights Press via Social Butterfly PR.

We're back in Seattle with the latest novella in the With Me in Seattle series from bestselling author Kristen Proby and published by 1001 Dark Nights Press. Change with Me finds thirty-year-old superstar actor Zane Cooper heading to Seattle to be close to his best friend while riding out a scandal that could very well derail his acting career. Renting a new and fully furnished condo for the next six months makes sense; what doesn't make sense, however, is agreeing to share the space with a woman who says she's a new renter as well. Something about twentysomething Aubrey Stansfield not only piques Zane's interest, but also makes him want to explore the connection between them. How can he convince this fascinating girl who sees herself as ordinary that she's the most extraordinary thing that someone like him--anyone--could ever hope to love?

Ooh, I do believe this is now one of my top favorite novellas in Kristen Proby's With Me in Seattle series! I adored Zane and Aubrey. Their relationship from sudden roommates to unlikely friends and then lovers was a serendipitously wonderful mix of sweetness, sass, and sexiness. They were both non-Seattle natives yet it was in this city where Proby has given readers many a happily-ever-after that they would find theirs as well. There isn't a whole lot of drama and the conflict they had to face was one that was quickly resolved. We do get cameos from other characters in the With Me in Seattle series, but for all intents and purposes, this was Zane and Aubrey's story, one that you can read totally as a standalone. Change with Me easily snags 4.5 stars.

Release Blitz: Saved by Hazel James

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
