Blog Tour + Review: "Escape with Me" by Kristen Proby

I am pleased to participate in the blog tour celebrating the release of "Escape with Me" by Kristen Proby, book #16 of the With Me in Seattle series. It reads as a complete standalone, though a number of characters from earlier books in the series make appearances in this one.
 
"Escape with Me" was a fast-paced, amusing, and sweet story featuring likeable characters and strong chemistry between runaway bride Isabella (Izzy) Harris and Irish pub owner Keegan O'Callaghan. Keegan was a natural protector and looked out for Izzy from the moment they met, helping her get back on her feet in the aftermath of her canceled wedding and encouraging her to follow her dreams. I loved getting to know Izzy as she learned to listen to her instincts and stand up for herself, culminating in an epic showdown with her mother in which she told her in no uncertain terms that she would not be returning home to marry her scumbag ex-fiance.

As in the previous installments of the series, the book's secondary characters were a lot of fun and added a tremendous amount of depth and humor to the story. Keegan's siblings and parents were particularly delightful; I loved how warm and welcoming they were of Izzy even before she and Keegan became a couple. I hope to read more about the O'Callaghan clan in future installments of the series.

Overall, I enjoyed and would recommend "Escape with Me" for all fans of contemporary romance. I look forward to the next book in the series.

About "Escape with Me"
 
From New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes ESCAPE WITH ME, an all-new stand-alone novel in her beloved WITH ME IN SEATTLE SERIES!

Keegan O'Callaghan has been told he's married to his pub. It's true. He's happiest when he's pulling taps and filling drink orders, so long as he can keep an eye on his family and ensure that all is well. Bringing a woman into his life for anything but a pleasant, short-term romp isn't even on his radar.

Until she comes running through his door, soaking wet and in a princess gown.

Isabella Harris ran out on her wedding, and she's not even a little bit sorry. She may have loved her groom a long time ago, but standing there about to take her vows, she realizes it's not right. And that's all she needs to know. Four hours later, she finds herself on a tiny island outside of Seattle, walking into a random Irish Pub and locking eyes with the sexiest bartender she's ever seen. But now what? She's alone and broke, with only a wedding dress to her name.

Despite the undeniable attraction between them, Keegan can see that Izzy's scared and alone. The job offer he extends is only until she gets back on her feet--he has no intention of keeping her.

But sometimes Fate has other plans...
