In New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby’s brand new Romancing Manhattan series, three brothers get more than they bargain for as they practice law, balance life, and navigate love in and around New York City.

Finn Cavanaugh is known for being a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. He owns a successful law firm with his brother and brother-in-law in Manhattan. On the rare occasion that he has down time, he spends it at his home in Martha’s Vineyard. But when Finn’s troubled niece goes to stay with him for the summer in Martha’s Vineyard, he’s reluctant to take time off from work. That is, until he meets his beautiful new neighbor, London.

London Watson is a Tony Award winning actress on Broadway. When tragedy strikes her family, leaving her alone and injured, she flees Manhattan for Martha’s Vineyard. Hoping she can figure out how to pick up the pieces of her life, London is convinced that she’ll never be able to return to the stage. But when she meets the charming young girl next door and her sexy uncle, they soon lure London out of her shell as she finally begins to heal from the wounds of her past.

But when London feels confident enough to return to the spotlight, she’s dealt another devastating blow. 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…?
 



 

Why I can't wait for this one!

I have a really soft spot for romances set in New York City, so this one was a no-brainer for me!  Besides, I really like that cover.  All that blue sky above, and the good-looking guy towards the bottom of the image.....I'm sold!! 




Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

  5. The setting of this one does seem like it would make the romance all that much more special. I bet you're ready for something that doesn't involve slaying zombies huh? I bet you'll love this one!

  7. After having recently read 'Still Me' by Jojo Moyes, I can understand your attraction to NY-based romances:). And that cover is really inviting... I hope you enjoy this one:)

    1. Hi, Sarah!

      Oh, I still have to start on that series. But I'm not all that keen on doing so. It does have some sad themes in it.....

      I have read some NYC-based romances in the past, so I immediately felt attracted to this one! Plus, the cover image has all that GLORIOUS BLUE on it (as you already know, this is my FAVORITE color, lol), and a guy who's DEFINITELY eye candy!! Lol. I KNOW I'll enjoy this novel!

      Thanks for commenting!! HUGS!!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
