Publisher's Summary

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling 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....

I am in love with the O'Callaghans. I listened to the first 2 book last week so I wouldn't have to wait long for this book. I was really hoping Keegan's book would be next so when I started this one I was already excited and happy! I love Keegan's support for his family and also his dedication in keeping the family pub. Lizzy is such a strong women, I loved that she realized she needed different and she went for it. The O'Callaghan & Montgomery clan is exactly what Lizzy needed after the craptastic family she was born into. Keegan & Lizzy's story made my heart happy all around, they got to know each other first as friends and then fell in love which always works perfectly for me. I loved that this book had no unnecessary drama or misunderstanding, this is my favorite type of romance. I loved the ending and the epilogue, the only issue I had was that the book was too short because I wanted more.

The narration was good, I wished they had used a different female narrator because I love when each character has their own voice and her females all sound the same. Lance did a great job at giving the men their own voices with no accents, Subtle accents and heavy accents.

Kristen Proby always writes solid go-to reads!

Of course, I started this series ... not from the beginning. But after finishing Escape with Me, I'm rather eager to meet more of the O'Callaghans.

Kristen definitely writes great go-to reads and it was just what I needed to break things up in my reading. From the sizzling chemistry between Izzy and Keegan, they just have a smooth and easy-going friendship that turns into something so much more.

And the family dynamics with the O'Callaghans, loved it so much! They're a solid bunch and I can't wait to go back and read from the beginning.

Narrators: all the accents and I loved it. Definitely looking forward to listening to more by them.

Sweet romance between Keegan & Izzy

The 2nd O’Callahan brother, pub owner Keegan, falls for Isabelle, a runaway bride. The plot was somewhat ordinary and dialog was full of formula phrases but numerous members of the With me in Seattle Montgomery-Williams-O’Callahan families are included in the subplots which is great. Plenty of romance and sex and very little drama. Lance Greenwood’s narration is a bit inconsistent with a partial Irish American accent at times and totally an American accent through much of the rest of the time. Lauren Sweet’s male voice is low and breathy but not very masculine at times. Nice introduction to Maggie and Cameron’s future story.

Escape With Me

Fantastic listen!! Lance Greenfield and Lauren Sweet were great at bringing Keegan and Izzy to life!

Truly Delightful!

These O’Callaghans are such a fun addition to the With Me in Seattle Family! Keegan and Izzy had the best meet cute, as she arrives at his pub drenched and wearing a wedding gown! What transpires from that meeting is an unexpected love story that I adored!

loved it!!

love this whole series. binged every book in a day or 2 each!! cant wait for the next book to be released!

Great book

Another great book by: Kristen Proby. I love her books and can not wait for her next books!!!!!

Brilliant Family Saga

This is an ARC review. All opinions are solely my own.

Escape With Me by Kristen Proby is another great read from the With Me In Seattle and O'Callaghans series. This book is a quick read that can be read as a stand alone but Kristen Proby is a master at intertwining her many series. I love reading them in order.

I was so lucky to get an audio version of this book. Lance Greenfield and Lauren Sweet are amazing voice actors who bring all the characters to life. I thoroughly enjoyed Lance Greenfield's Irish brogue.

Keegan O'Callaghan has taken over the family pub. His orderly life is turned upside down when runaway bride, Isabella Harris comes rushing through the door. They forge an immediate connection and his family engulfs her into their world. I liked that Isabella's wedding issues were not a main focus. The issues were addressed but not dwelled upon. I love revisiting all the characters that live in these series.

It's Kristen Proby's world and we're just waiting for more great books to devour.

Runaway Bride with a backbone!

Escape With Me live up to it's name, providing a wonderful escape for the reader as well. Let me just warn you, if you listen to the audiobook, the first time you hear Keegan say "lass" with his accent, your heart will completely be owned by him. Loved every single moment of this story and I listened to it twice in the same day!

Fabulous!

Izzy ran from her wedding and ended up at Keegan’s pub. Little did she know this was exactly where she was supposed to be.

Keegan is a workaholic but he is instantly drawn to Izzy. These two are so perfect for each other!

Great

A great fun story with a couple of visits from the Montgomery clan with a heart stopping accident but still a HEA

great story

loved the story, the narrators are new to me but enjoyed both. really enjoyed the female narrator and will definitely be looking for more of them.

as for story, Kristen can never write a bad story and I always love seeing the Seattle gang.

Great book

Izzy escapes before she makes the biggest mistake of her life and in doing so meets the love of her life.
I love Izzy, and I love that she’s a strong woman who will accept help when she needs it but doesn’t fall to bits and expect Keegan take over and “look after her” she sets out to find herself and let herself love Keegan. There’s never a question of can she have both- love and career. I hate her parents and would like to slap her father- good thing it’s a fictional book!
I love the fact that this book doesn’t follow the standard formula of boy meets girl, they fall in love, there’s an explainable “mistake” they fall out etc etc etc. This is not this book.
I can’t wait to read the next instalment. I wonder who’s next. The only thing I disliked was the fake Irish accents. They just irritated me

Just what you need.

Just loved this book, the characters are amazing. Such a good escape from the world. The narrators do a great job with the accents. Can’t wait for the next in the series.
