3 Stars - Fun and exceptionally steamy early entry in the Seattle series. Leo and Samantha's story was surprisingly unique. There's plenty of push and pull as they learn to navigate their own hang ups and the fame that comes with his rockstar status and her well-known relatives. A quick but substantial little romance that's I think is great for series fans and casual readers.
Kristen Proby is a go-to for me when I know I won't have time to really sink into something new. I just love her writing style, and it's an easy flow for me jump back in to. Admittedly, this entry into the Seattle clan series, was not one that appealed enough to buy. But the right day and right library copy came along. And I liked this one way more than expected! Samantha was a little cold but she had a soft heart hiding under her icy attitude. Leo was the epitome of a bad boy with a hard of gold. Rockstar lovers won't want to miss out on him.
There were just a few times in this entry, I felt like Proby went with the "everything but the kitchen sink" approach. Examples would be an ugly fight between these two in the beginning where Sam was a complete jerk, and Leo handled it badly. Somehow it resulted in make up sex, of course. And toward the end Sam's former boy toy shows up professing his love for no reason. It's all brushed under the rug really fast. Huge points, however, for letting Sam and Leo not be in baby fever. It's nice once and a while to read a novel where the main couple isn't set on having kids. Usually, a lot of side characters can be a pet peeve for me but it worked here, in my opinion. All Leo's bandmates and crew are interesting. Naturally, Samantha's huge and mostly famous family have plenty of scenes. Be sure to consult the character glossary for the series if you start here. But this is a more than worthy entry to this series, even if at times it feels like more of a filler book between other couples.
