Release Day Launch & Giveaway: Tied With Me (With Me in Seattle #6) by Kristen Proby

Happy New Release! So excited Tied With Me, the sixth installment in the With Me in Seattle series is here. Congrats to Kristen Proby for another fantastic read!

A man whose lifestyle is so different from her own…

Nic Dalton’s cupcake bakery is thriving. She serves both rock stars and locals alike, content with her growing business. But one adventurous night out with her best friend, Bailey, turns her life upside down. She meets a handsome stranger who makes her skin sizzle and her heart race. Their one night together is explosive and unexpected, but when he has to suddenly leave without taking her phone number, Nic resigns herself to never seeing him again.

…What will it take to trust and submit to his every desire?

Matt Montgomery is one of Seattle’s finest. He works hard, loves and protects his family fiercely, and is loyal almost to a fault. And he has a penchant for bondage. Matt enjoys the way a woman looks wrapped up in his ropes, and makes no apologies for his preferences. When he meets Nic at a fetish festival, the small, beautiful woman catches his eye, drawing him to her. His one night with her was everything he’s ever looked for in a partner, but is cut short because of a family emergency. Even before he sees her again weeks later, he knows he’ll never get her out of his system. And he’ll do whatever it takes to make her his.

“Give in to this, Nic. Let me prove to you that I will be one of the best decisions you ever make.” –Matt Montgomery

EXCERPT
I grin and offer her a fresh bottle of water, which she accepts, unscrews the cap and takes a sip. Fuck, she has beautiful lips. Lips that look amazing wrapped around the head of my cock. “It’s not a crime to belong to a gym,” I reply. “My gym?” “Do you own it?” I ask with a grin. She laughs and shakes her head. “No.” “It’s not far from my apartment, and it’s convenient to work, too, so here I am.” She nods and glances down, not sure what to say next. “The cake was delicious today,” I comment casually, giving her the opportunity to talk about her work. “Oh, good!” She grins and joins me as I walk toward the smoothie bar, pull out a chair for her to drop into at one of the tiny two-person tables and sit opposite her. “I’m glad you enjoyed it.” “You do good work. Leo and Sam are always talking about your cupcakes.” “Leo and Sam keep me in business, I swear.” She laughs, sending electricity down my spine. “They’re very good customers.” I nod, watching her. “I like your shorter hair,” I murmur and reach out to brush the ends with my finger, enjoying the softness. “Most men like long hair,” she replies softly. “I like long hair, too. You look beautiful in both.” She frowns and glances away from me. “Why did you cut your hair, Nic?” She shrugs and won’t meet my gaze. “It was time for a change.” “Try again,” I reply. She turns her eyes to mine and squares her shoulders, firms her chin. “It was time for a change.” That’s a lie. I cross my arms over my naked chest and drag my finger over my lip, watching her squirm. She isn’t a good liar. Good. “Okay.” She sighs, relieved, before I continue. “For now.” She scowls at me, making me laugh. “Friends don’t lie to each other, little one. The sooner you remember that, the better.” “You’ve known me for three minutes, Matt. Don’t assume you know all there is to know about me.” “You know what they say about assuming,” I murmur with a grin. “Well, you are an ass,” she replies and then giggles. I lean in and rest my mouth next to her ear. “This ass would love to smack your pretty little ass until it glows,” I whisper so only
she can hear.

Review: Tied with Me (With Me in Seattle #6) by Kristen Proby

Nic Dalton likes control. She’s a single hardworking woman who owns her own flourishing business. She has put her all into making it what it is today and has no room for failure. Same goes for her personal life. After facing a medical issue, she now maintains a tight control on her diet and exercise regimen. But when her friend takes her to a social event out of her comfort zone, Nic is anything but in control…

Matt Montgomery is a protector. He is devoted to his family and loyal to his city. He’s one of Seattle’s finest. And he is all about control; especially in the bedroom. He is a master in his craft.

Matt meets Nic at an erotic festival. Something about him demands her attention from the moment she sees him. It doesn’t take long before he takes her home and shows her what letting go of her control can feel like. Their first union is hot and passionate; one of her best ever. However, when it’s done he gets called away and hurries out before getting her number. It’s for the best, she thinks. She doesn’t really do his brand of control anyway, even though it was the hottest thing she’s ever experienced and secretly loved every minute of it.

Oh holy smoking hell! Kristen Proby has delivered the goods once again!

Matt, *sigh*, where do I even begin. How can I do that man justice? As with all the men in the With Me in Seattle series, Matt is devoted and loving. He may be into kink, but he loves and respects how Nic challenges him…outside of the bedroom. Inside the bedroom is his domain. I have to say his brand of kink was a refreshing read. He’s a master at Shibari, a form of bondage. That man can make a tie out of just about anything. But when he brings his ropes out to play, it takes on an art form. It’s intricate and beautiful. Arousing.

“I want to show you what I can do with my ropes tonight, little one.”

Nic is this strong, independent woman. For her it’s intimidating relinquishing control like she does. But a relationship with Matt is worth entering uncharted waters. She may fight it at times and not fully understand it, but she does enjoy it.

I was rooting for this couple. They are a perfect fit. My heart ached for them when they came to a challenging part in their relationship. Nic was willing to walk away from it all because she felt Matt deserved more. She couldn’t see that she was all he ever wanted and the rest could be worked out. Matt, however, isn’t that easy to get rid of. And he stakes a claim to what’s his.

“You are mine. I stayed away like I promised I would, but I’m done, Nic.”

Tied With Me gave me a full menu of emotions. I cried. I laughed. I melted. Seriously Kristen Proby cannot write a bad book. I love how all her characters (sure the males are deliciously hot and model worthy but hey it’s a romance book people) are all real. She writes realistic situations. Even better, in every book we get a view of this family she’s created. We see them grow and develop.

I know with every installment in this series, we creep closer to the end of it. I for one will be a bawling mess when it does come to an end. This series has truly touched my heart. But until that day comes, I will hug my Kindle and patiently await the next one.

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Unexpected Angel by Sloan Johnson

Tasha Skinner finally shed the baggage of a failed marriage. Now, she’s looking forward to a night of margaritas and man-bashing. Tasha’s friends have other plans, including Leather, Lace and liberation. Dylan Caprese didn’t want to go to Marquee, but he and his friends were on a mission. They took it upon themselves to make sure things didn’t get out of hand when wannabe Doms mixed alcohol with playtime at the monthly Leather and Lace night. From the moment he set eyes on Tasha, he knew there was something different about her. She wasn’t some bondage babe who thought she knew what it meant to be into BDSM. She was much, much worse; she was innocent and trusting. He can tell she is something precious. When Tasha’s past threatens to destroy her, Dylan begins to realize that while their paths have never crossed, their lives most definitely have. Will he be able to save her before it’s too late?

Review
Tasha has gotten out of a bad marriage where she suffered emotional abuse by her controlling ex. To celebrate her freedom, unbeknownst to her, her friends take her to leather and lace night at a local club. Dylan, a knight in shining armor, along with his friends take it upon themselves to police this monthly theme night. Tasha is so out of her realm and Dylan picks up on that right off the bat. Instantly, there is something about her that draws him in and makes him want to protect. Likewise, there is something about Dylan that puts Tasha at ease and makes her trust him. Basically from the first night they meet they become inseparable. Unlike the druken idiots at leather and lace night, Dylan is truly into the BDSM world and slowly introduces Tasha to it. She learns that letting him dominate her doesn't mean she needs to give up control of her life.

While I found some flaws in the storyline, the overall story and characters were pretty likeable. I really loved Dylan. He was patient, kind, protective and tried to understand Tasha. He was actually so attentive and attuned to her body language that he could decipher what her thoughts or moods were. Hell, I wish my hubs could pick up on those clues. Tasha was so afraid of letting go of control. She vowed she would never put herself in that spot again. But she needed to understand and trust that Dylan was way different than her ex. Unfortunately, she learns that lesson almost too late when people from her past and present are more than they seem and are out to hurt her.

This wasn't bad for a start of a new series. The next book follows a couple of the secondary characters that were in this book. I'm looking forward to reading it to see if a certain character can redeem herself.
