Come Away With Me by Kristen Proby


Come Away With Me by Kristen Proby

Book Name: Come Away With Me

Author: Kristen Proby

Genre/Tags: Romance, New Adult, Contemporary,
Mature content (New Adult): Recommended for readers 18+ due toexplicit sexual content, harsh language and adult themes.

Publisher: Self-Published

My Ratings: 4.5 stars

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?


                 My Review                           


Come Away with Me by Kristen Proby was a very sweet love story. I am talking rainbows, sunshine, puppies, cute little kittens...you get the picture. With this being said, I honestly enjoyed this book. For me, it is nice to read a book with little angst every now and again. Sometimes I just need a lovely romance where boy meets girl, lots of hot and steamy sex ensues, they fall in love, get married, babies, marriage, old age....lalala. This book has no external drama or bad guy.

He leans down and gently presses his cheek to mine. "Thank you," he whispers.
"For what?" I whisper back.
"For being mine."
 

On a beautiful quiet morning, Natalie is out on the beach taking photos of the scenery when she is suddenly confronted by a gorgeous man enraged that she was taking his picture and demanding that she turn over her camera. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, Luke realizes that Natalie has no idea that he is a famous actor (or was one) and she really was taking pictures of the scenery. Needless to say, the man becomes intrigued. Clearly surprised he apologizes profusely and asks her out to breakfast hoping to smooth over their rough start.

And so begins their relationship.

CHARACTERISATION
Luke is a hero to die for – he’s attentive, romantic, pretty nifty between the sheets and really quite devoted to Nat. He’s a beautiful, sexy, sweet, jealous control freak. Luke is...hands down...the one of the most romantic male characters I have stumbled upon in fiction. Some of the things he does for Natalie almost made me cry because they were so overwhelmingly sweet.

"I can't ever imagine my life without you. You are the center of my world, Nat. I want to love you, protect you, fight with you, make babies with you and spoil the shit out of you for the rest of my life."-Luke Williams

Nat has known her share of heartbreak and is slow to trust but she soon opens up to Luke and shares her darkest secrets with him and she is a worthy heroine – fiery, loyal and tenacious. She’s not going to take any crap from anyone, however rich they are and certainly puts Luke through his paces. Nat has her own career and her own money. She does not need Luke but it is truly a pleasure to watch her want Luke in her life. The author does a wonderful job telling Natalie's story; your heart will break for her and then build back up as Nat embraces life and moves forward. 

I've fallen in love with a beautiful, sexy, sweet, jealous control freak. Shit." ~Natalie

I loved Natalie's profession as a photographer, especially its potential to cause mayhem for Natalie and Luke. Besides the main characters, there's a great cast of supporting characters. The author developed Nat's best friend Jules and she used Luke's and Jules’ families throughout the story to further build your connection to the story. 

SEX QUOTIENT
And oh my Lord  there are ever boat-loads of steamy sex scenes! Seriously, these guys can’t stop doing it! =) Everywhere! The wall, the bed, the bathroom, the shower, the limo, the airplane, the desk, the car, the beach… I’m sure I’m missing a few but this book basically goes from swoon to sex to swoon to sex to more swoon and more sex… mostly vanilla but all hot!

Their story is incredibly steamy and this is an erotic romance that has more sex scenes than you can shake a stick at! Nat has a collection of script tattoos all over her body in places that are hidden by her clothes and the scene where Luke slowly discovers them all is quite the sensual voyage of discovery!

RECOMMENDATION
Their story is stunning – two wounded souls finding salvation together, healing one another. Despite being very sexy, it’s also a beautiful romance and the epilogue is absolutely to die for as it’s told from Luke’s POV, after the whole novel is told from Nat’s. I recommend this book who enjoys a good romance with a healthy dose of sizzling hot sex.

Rex Randall and the Jerico Secret by Vince Carter


Rex Randall and the Jerico Secret by Vince Carter

Book Name: Rex Randall and the Jerico Secret

Author: Vince Carter

Genre/Tags: suspense 

Publisher: Self-Published

My Rating:



Rex Randall is the world famous author, known for his Incognito series of books and movies. His main character, Jason Hendrix, has a loyal following around the world, eager to read about his next exploits. This is especially so, since it is widely known that his life is modeled on the real lifestyle of Rex.

It is an unusual lifestyle, only dreamed of by most. That’s because, in real life, Rex lives with five beautiful women in a polyamorous, non-monogamous relationship. It is also a luxurious lifestyle, fueled by the enormous wealth generated by all those books and movies. They want for nothing and enjoy the many pleasures of life. They work hard, play hard, and rest easy.

In his series of thriller books, Rex’s alter ego, Jason, is a chameleon-like investigator that assumes numerous identities to pursue his assignments. In order to give the stories an increased level of realism, Rex spends countless months, himself, thoroughly researching key elements of the story concept by accepting assignments in real life and donning various cover identities.

Then, with exacting detail, Rex would be able to convert his actual experiences into an exciting series of scenes for Jason in the novels. It is the distinguishing factor that gives his books that air of authenticity, no matter how unusual the premise.

In preparation for his next novel, Rex and his five female loves, engage in their reality based research by going undercover and posing as security consultants to the U.S. Secret Service. In the process, they discover the Jericho Secret. 

This secret, unknown even to the Secret Service, is so explosive that, if revealed to the world, could put the President of the United States in mortal jeopardy.

                                                         My Review                               

I have to thank author Vince Carter to providing me with a complimentary copy of his book Rex Randall and the Jericho Secret. The concept was very different than what normally I am used to reading. I have to say it was an absolute delight reviewing this book.   This book was a fast-paced, action packed and suspense laced thriller. The real life suspense novelist, Rex Randall, lives in a polyamorous relationship with five very attractive women who are experts in their respective fields. Rex as a novelist writes suspense thriller series with main hero as Jason, a private investigator who solves very impossible looking cases just like James Bond.

To gather the story material for his books, Rex and his team doubles as a private investigation firm researching key elements to give his books a touch of realism. One such assignment brings him in direct contact with the American Secret Service where they have to evaluate the proficiency of the secret services to protect the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House and other high-ranking officials. Add in the mix the fanatic Jihadi groups with their secret agenda, and you are having a blast reading it.

CHARACTERISATION
There are hell lot of characters in this story. I had a hard time remembering each and every character and many times had to go back a few pages to remind myself of certain characters whenever a reference was made. Normally, I like my books to have fewer characters so that I could connect with them, which just wasn’t possible here. Although as I came towards the end, I had much easier time and by the end of it, totally fell for Rex and his five dolls.

RECOMMENDATION
I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who enjoys a good suspense thriller.

Release Day Blast- Never Let You Fall



               






A special Excerpt just for you...

“What do you feel?  Anything strange?” 

She flung her hands up in the air as she answered me. “Yes, I feel something strange!  This whole thing is strange!” 

Placing my finger on her lips, I shook my head in frustration.  “Skye, what do you feel here?” I asked again, pointing to her chest.  “How do you feel?” 

She stood for a moment with her lips lightly pressed to my finger, slowly closing and reopening her eyes.  There was a sheen to them that spoke of unshed tears, and as she raised her hand to pull mine away from her mouth, I saw her fingers tremble when  she whispered, “I can’t deal with this, Xander.” 

“Yes, Skye - you can and you will,” I warned her.  “This is going to happen whether you want it to or not.  I told you that I’m safe, and I…” 

Skye broke into hysterical laughter at that.  “Safe?  You’re telling me that a legion of demons is after me and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.   How in your book does that equal safe?”

“You don’t know me, Skye, and you don’t know Rioden and… what we can do.  I told you that I would protect you, and I will.” 

Shaking her head, she took a small step back and admitted, “You’re right about one thing, Xander,” as she wiped a tear from her face.  “I don’t know you, so how can I trust you?  No matter how you make me feel.  Please just leave me alone.”  She spun on her heel and sprinted away, leaving me to stare after her.



ABOUT THE AUTHOR



 Having grown up in both the cold, quiet town of Topsham, Maine and the steamy, southern hospitality of Mobile, Alabama, Michele is something of a enigma.  She is an avid Yankees fan, loves New England, being outdoors and misses snow.  However she thinks southern boys are hotter, Alabama football is the only REAL football out there and sweet tea is the best thing this side of heaven and her children’s laughter! 

Her family, a doting husband and three awesome  minions  have planted their roots in the middle of Michele’s two childhood homes in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

Never Let You Fall is Michele’s first novel and she is beyond thrilled to have finally followed up on a dream she has held for over 20 years!  God willing there will be many many more books to follow.
