Review: Come Away With Me – Kristen Proby

Posted March 3, 2013 by Shannon in Shannon / 0 Comments

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?

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

I really enjoyed the whirlwind romance between Natalie and Luke . They burned up the screen of my iPad as I read each of their scorching loves scenes. My only wish was for a little bit more in the story department. Each of them had such fears and phobias about relationships and commitment that I would have enjoyed a bit more dialogue regarding that aspect of their story. Maybe even a bit more drama than what we had. Sex is a very good thing, but it was almost like everything started and ended with sex for these two.

One thing that did bug me was Natalie body image.  She always had to remark on her curvier figure, even if it was just a thought during sex about Luke grabbing her butt.  I got that she wasn’t a stick figure and that Luke was attracted to it.  That should have been enough said.  I applaud the author for making her more real and that a “normal” woman snagged herself a superstar.  But I didn’t need the constant reminder.

Overall, this was a solid read by an author who is new to me. I’l most definitely be looking to read more book in the “With Me in Seattle” series.
