My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK!!! Kristen Proby always writes great romance, always. All the Way was funny, sweet and sexy at turn as well as a straight up outstanding summer read and I truly cannot wait to see what else Proby has in store for readers in her new Romancing Manhattan series. I have loved every word I have ever read by Kristen Proby – as a matter of fact, she is one of the few authors who caused me to completely lose my ability to speak in person when I met her at a large author signing in 2017. I read her first book, Come Away with Me shortly after it was self-published in 2012. Kristen Proby is one of my all-time favorite authors, and as such I knew that the story she would tell in All the Way would absolutely meet the have high expectations I hold for her skill. Kristen truly has never disappointed me, so grabbing her books the instant I can one-click them is a no brainer for me.
In the years since I first discovered Kristen Proby, my expectations have grown as her career soared. As an avid reader first, followed by my job as an editor and blogging, I have come to find some hallmarks to her writing. Those include: her ability to draw readers into the story and subsequently keep them riveted from beginning to end; The sheer timeless beauty of her writing; The quality of the stories she delivers; and how she can make the sweetest story also UNBELIEVABLY HOT!!! All the Way absolutely delivered ever single item on this list as it whisks readers away to Manhattan and Martha’s Vineyard in a truly beautiful summer love story. After Tony Award winning Broadway performer London Watson faces life altering tragedy, she heals mentally and physically at her families Martha’s Vineyard home. Finn Cavanaugh quickly sweeps London off her feet and into a world wind romance that had me laughing out loud, crying (briefly) and with so many warm fuzzies that I thought my heart would burst. Readers will love reading this duel perspective love story that ropes you quickly into the story and characters, I certainly did. And the chemistry between Finn and London was immensely hot!
I loved Finn and London. As a hero, Finn is great. He’s career driven but completely open to London and instead of just wanting a one-night stand, he wants it all with her right away. He’s upfront with her and it was refreshing even if he was at times horrible at communicating. London is somewhat narcissistic but in a healthy way since she knows her value as a woman and Broadway performer. She wasn’t weak, and knew her own mind, even if she sought Finn’s input and valued their growing relationship. As characters over 30, the pair knew that they were looking for more with one another and didn’t take the other person for granted. I have to say that I found the sexy times between Finn and London to be as hot as I have come to depend on from Kristen Proby’s stories. As I previously mentioned, the story is told in duel perspectives, so it provided me the ability to really dig deeper into their feelings and see the story in a broader concept, consequently taking the negative connotations associated with Finn’s controlling nature and London’s narcissism more understandable and endurable.
I truly don’t think you can go wrong with anything Kristen Proby has written and loved every moment of All the Way. It was an honor to be given the opportunity to read and review an early release copy of All the Way by the publisher. If Kristen Proby is new to you, grab All the Way now and dive in! You’ll thank me…
