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?

I don’t know what it is about Kristen Proby’s books but they draw me in just like Nora Robert’s does. She creates families that you love and characters that you want to know more about in each and every book and the Boudreaux series is no different. In Book #4 Easy Kisses, Charly Boudreaux is forced to attend a woman’s retreat in Montana by her sister. She actually doesn’t think it is a bad idea but she never expects to be attracted to the speaker, Simon Danbury. Charly isn’t one for relationships and has never really had more than a friends with benefits relationship. Simon fights his attraction to Charly but in the end, they fall into each other.
Unfortunately, Charly lives in New Orleans and Simon in London. Both go home missing the other and before you know it, Simon goes to New Orleans searching Charly out. They both have relationship issues and the question remains if they can work past them to be with each other especially since the two have busy careers and businesses.
I adored both of these characters. Simon is British, passionate, smart and sexy but has a tendency to overreact and jump to conclusions which makes him seem real and human. Charly is a sassy Southern woman with a love for shoes and her family and is extremely independent. Her guard is up and she needs to learn to trust her heart more. These two had fantastic chemistry, respected each other and complimented each other all the way around.
Easy Kisses was another feel good, easy going read from Kristen Proby. It’s hard not to fall in love with her characters and this family in particular. This book had just enough drama and angst and a good dose of humor and romance to keep me entertained. Can’t wait to read Beau’s book but I’m dying for Savannah and Ben’s book! Hopefully, she is saving the best for last!
