All the Way audiobook

NOW LIVE!Amazon US * Amazon UKAll the Way starts off Kristen Proby's new series, Romancing Manhattan, and introduces us to London Watson and Finn Cavanaugh. After a tragic house fire took both of London's parents and broke her leg making her unable to dance, London packed up and left the city to go stay at her parents' beach house. There she see's her family's estate lawyer who just happens to be her new neighbor. I thought Finn was a good hero. He intrigued me and I loved how he was with London. He just wanted to protect her and he hated to see that she was in so much pain over her parents death and the loss of her dancing career. He wanted nothing more than to help make London's life as easy as possible, even when she didn't want him to help her. That was actually what I liked about London. She was strong in her own right and didn't want Finn trying to take over her life all in the name of 'helping' her. When he pushed, she pushed right back and it was really fun to see that. They had a great chemistry that was very evident on the pages. Overall, this is a book I would recommend reading. It started off this series very well and has me super curious about the next books.ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.

This review was originally posted on Addicted To RomanceThis review may contain spoilers, so fair warning, upon reading the review. All The Way is the first book In the “Romancing Manhatten” and I was able to read this through the narration as I got a audio copy through my local library. I was really intrigued by this one here, and seeing the way that this story sets off was quite a unique set up and I always get a kick out of reading a Kristen Proby Novel. This one definitely had the typical Kristen Proby vibe to the story and yes it does contain the third act conflict. I was interested to see how this story would play out in the end though. there is quite a bit of chemistry that we get introduced into and I enjoyed seeing the background of the characters and that they are more of a mature age. Their interactions that they have with each other really built into the chemistry quite well and we see that they have a bond to each other that they build. I did get a hoot of entertainment as their communication skills aren’t always the best fo talent. The hero especially has a steamroll of a personality and likes to take care of people, you can tell that its his love language. They both are wealthy, so he likes to do things for the heroine without consulting her and we are talking BIG things that she should be consulted with and you definitely can tell that his heart is in the right place, he just doesn’t always know when to back down from it. For the most part, I really admire how patient the heroine is with the hero. She has quite a bit on her plate, including a self absorbed drug addicted brother and has no other family. So she stands on her own in a very strong independent way and I admired her for that. I really respected the way in which she stands for herself and setting heathy boundaries and it showcased well the normalization of a romantic relationship in this novel which I greatly appreciated. The story is well endearing and you get sucked into it very quickly. I also really admired the way in which the story was emphasized on and even though the third act was predictable (anyone that has read a Kristen Proby) knows this from experience, I nonetheless had a fabulous time with this book and eager to read books 2 and 3. If you are a fan of this author, or just an endearing, captures your feels type of contemporary, than I can’t recommend “All The Way” enough to you.

Find this review and others at Carlene Inspired.All the Way is the first novel in Kristen Proby's new Romancing Manhattan series, introducing us to Finn Cavanaugh and London Watson, as well as a slew of secondary characters that we're sure to see again. Finn Cavanaugh is handsome lawyer stuck with the difficult job of being the estate lawyer for London's parents who recently passed in a house fire. London Watson is a broadway beauty queen, though her dreams of continuing her dancing career are put on hold by the fire. It's not the right timing, but sparks fly between the two when they discover they're neighbors at the romantic Martha's Vineyard. This fast-paced romance sucked me in from the start, with Kristen Proby starting the novel at the height of painful family drama. I immediately liked London, she's a charismatic woman who is both unashamed of her wealth and unaware how different she is from other women. Finn, on the other hand, took me a moment to warm up to, with his directness and desperate need to care for London. He's described so well and I really enjoyed his chapters, so in time I warmed up to him, can't say it's hard to imagine a man wanting to woo a beautiful, successful women by pulling out all the stops. London's life has been much like the drop of a rollercoaster and Finn wants nothing more than to bring her to the top. "If I'm not mistaken, Finn Cavanaugh just claimed me"The relationship progresses quickly, but it made for an entertaining, quick read. Each dives headfirst into one another, replacing the usual dating and getting to know each other with serious emotions and some bumps that shake things up a bit. Finn and London engage in some hilarious banter, a bit of delicious smut (Duh!), and there is quite a lot of world development as the characters take their romance from Martha's Vineyard to the skyline of Manhattan. Kristen Proby sets the stage with All the Way, introducing us to London's fellow dancers and revealing that Finn Cavanaugh is not the only handsome lawyer in his family. There's also a hint of mystery, something I hope we see in future books in the series. It's a layered novel, with several plot lines taking place at once before tying together in a neat, sweet bow. "'There's a shortcut to my place down here,' she says with a wink. 'Just in case you ever need it.'"Romancing Manhattan is an exciting new series from Kristen Proby and All the Way is a solid introductory novel. Longtime fans will love meeting new characters and new readers will find themselves swooning for the handsome, romantic heroes. I look forward to finding out what's next in this series, especially if we will be getting more of Carter and Quinn.ARC provided by Harper Collins

Release Date: August 21, 2018 Genre: Contemporary Romance Actual Rating: 4 starsAll the Way is the first book in the Romancing Manhattan series by Kristen Proby. Having only read a few books by the author in the past I was really excited to dive into this one and I wasn't disappointed! There were moments when the miscommunication thing got on my nerves, and there was so much sex I felt like it almost took over the plot however, when it got down to the root of London and Finn's relationship I found myself enjoying the journey. Finn and London clearly belonged together and their relationship felt right from the get go. This is what makes the story feel so special. What that, I am looking forward to seeing where Kristen Proby takes us with the rest of the series. I am hoping that Finn's brothers will be getting their own stories because I am intrigued by their characters. Also, if she could take us back to Mather's Vineyard that would be great! I really connected with that piece of the setting in the story!Kristen Proby fans, you don't want to miss out on her newest series! I think it's going to be quite the hit in the romance genre.

London and Finn brought love All The WayI'm in awe with this book! I always loved this author's work, but this one was somehow different. Normally, her books are light, sexy, funny in a sweet way. And don't get me wrong, All The Way was also sexy and sweet, but it was also more intense than her other books.Since the very first page I could see this would be a different kind of book. Not only for the tragedies it brought, but the whole vibe, the feelings, the fears and grief, the struggles and fights, they all felt more personal.I'll continue to love her light stories, and sometimes they are exactly what I need, but it made me so happy, so touched to see this book, to see such a deep connection!Finn and London were both strong, hard workers and a tiny bit controling (just a tad lol). They also experienced lost and profound grief in their lives. But that made them even more empathetic, more connected, they understood one another better.Their love grew among pain from their past and consolation from one another. And one thing that I really like is that, even if Finn helped London, she didn't need to be saved.She was her own person. She didn't need to be carried around. She just wanted someone to hold her hand, and Finn was that one.They were sexy, so sexy together, they stood their ground when needed, they supported and took care of each other.It was so beautiful to see. Their love was real and mature and left me wnting more!"I love you, more than I ever thought it was possible to love another person. It seems that you came crashing into my life in one big, magical storm, and I can't remember what it was like before you"

Will the newfound love between London and Finn be enough to conquer all? Or will it be over before it has a chance to grow…?•••••••••REVIEW: 3.5 stars--ALL THE WAY is the first instalment in Kristen Proby’s contemporary, adult ROMANCING MANHATTAN erotic, romance series focusing on business partners and attorneys: Finn and Quinn Cavanaugh, and Carter Shaw . This is forty-year old, attorney Finn Cavanagh, and thirty-two year old, singer/dancer/ Tony Award winning actress London Watson’s story line. Told from dual first person perspectives (Finn and London) ALL THE WAY follows the building relationship between forty-year old, attorney Finn Cavanagh, and thirty-two year old, singer/dancer/ Tony Award winning actress London Watson. Several months earlier London Watson would come face to face with her future, her father’s attorney, and the man with whom she would fall in love. But the tragic death of her parents, and the subsequent disaster that left our heroine with permanent injuries, finds London Watson recovering in the family home on Martha’s Vineyard. Enter attorney Finn Cavanagh, her next door neighbour and the man with whom London would fall in love. What ensues is the quick building relationship between London and Finn, and the fall-out as another potential disaster threatens London’s long fight for peace and rehabilitation.Finn Cavanagh is a successful attorney whose down time spent on the east coast with his niece Gabby finds our hero falling for the woman next door. Hoping for something more than a summer fling, Finn offers to follow London, as she is offered a role on the country’s west coast. London Watson is an extremely independent and forceful heroine who isn’t above telling it like it is. Growing up in a controlled environment, she refuses to ‘allow’ anyone, including the man with whom she is falling in love, to control any aspect of her life although ‘control’ is a questionable action –in this, I struggled to sympathize with our story line heroine. Her acerbic condemnation of Finn’s actions were just short of rude, condescending and b*tchy.The relationship between Finn and London begins as a seaside romance, a romance that will continue after Finn’s return to work, and London’s offer to work on the west coast. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic, language and text.We are introduced to Finn’s brothers and fellow attorneys: widower Carter Cavanagh and his ten year old daughter Gabby; Quinn Cavanagh, whose over protective nature pushes all of his mother’s (Margaret Cavanaugh) buttons; London’s friend and colleague Sasha; superstar Jeffrey Cameron, and London’s brother Kyle. ALL THE WAY is a story of family, friendship, betrayal and pain. The premise is entertaining but the conflict resolution, and the building mystery was predictable and disappointing. The romance was seductive and provocative but I struggled with the heroine’s attitude and need for control-there is a fine line between independent and strong vs b*tch; the characters were colorful and charismatic. I am looking forward to a happily ever after for both Quinn and Carter.Copy supplied by Edelweisswww.thereadingcafe.com

I adore Kristen Probys writing so it was so secret how excited I was when I heard she was releasing a brand new series of books with some fresh new characters. And it was no secret that I received an arc as even the neighbours heard me squeal with delight when i got the email saying I had been granted an ARC of this book 2 months before it's release. In this story- we meet London- a Broadway star whom has recently had a massive tragedy hit her life- and Finn- a top shot lawyer. This story had all the workings of Kristen Probys usual formula- boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love quickly, boy and girl have issue or drama at around the 70-80% mark.....But- for me this formula works- I know what I'm getting- I know I'm finishing the story with a big ol smile on my face- and this one was no exception. I do usually give Kristen pretty much 5*'s for everything she writes- but this one for me was only a 4* read. i just didn't connect to the characters as much as I have her previous ones. It could be that we're entering a fresh new batch of characters- and when you read Kristens books you get sucked into a whole family dynamic- and obviously with this being only book one you don't have that family feel yet. But that said- it was still a solid 4* read! And I'm looking forward to see what the rest of the series brings.

ExcellentExcellent read and a great start to a new series. I enjoyed the maturity and straightforward approach of Finn and London's story. Recommended read.

3.5 to 4 starsThis is the first book in the new Romancing Manhattan series that will feature two Cavanaugh brothers and their widower brother-in-law that run their own law firm. First up is oldest brother, Finn.When he first meets London Watson, it is not a good time for her, nor is it an appropriate time to really pursue her. But when they meet again in another location and under different circumstances, all bets are off. Finn is charismatic, sexy, successful, and persistent. And the more involved he gets with her the more she sees he is also generous, protective, and sometimes a bit bossy and controlling. London's whole world has been turned upside down and she is not even sure what her future is going to look like. Her Broadway career is uncertain due to an injury. But Finn is a great distraction and source of happiness. But she is strong, independent minded, stubborn, intelligent, and resistant to being managed or taken care of.Although this is a pretty fast insta-relationship and many parts of it come together easily with few issues, they do have some problems with communication and how they respond to situations. They both like things their way and can be strong-willed in their opinions. They will have to figure out how to navigate these differences to make it work.Finn is ready for everything and sometimes can be pushy about it. London is struggling to maintain her own identity and independence, and also dealing what to do about her career. And there is also a bit of a suspenseful sub plot adding a bit of drama. This is a sweet, steamy, low angst romance with mature characters. It takes us from Manhattan, to Martha's Vineyard, and to LA. I liked both Finn and London even though their communication issues could be a bit frustrating. I figured out the mystery pretty early on and it kind of felt a bit rushed and anti-climactic. I also felt like the book had an abrupt ending and I could have used one more chapter or epilogue, but I know we will see more of London and Finn in upcoming books.Her best friend, Sasha was vibrant and fun. I really liked his overprotective brother, Quinn, his late sister's husband, Carter, and his mom, and niece. I am interested to get more of these guys and their fun family dynamic in future books.I received this book for free from edeweiss in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Follow Me: Reviews by Tammy & Kim (Rachel and Jay) | Facebook | Twitter
