Publisher's Summary

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a story in her With Me In Seattle series...

Sabrina Harrison hates being famous. She walked away from show business, from the flashing bulbs and prying eyes years ago, and is happy in her rural Oregon home, dedicating her life to her non-profit. 

Until Hollywood calls, offering her the role of a lifetime. In more than ten years, she’s never felt the pull to return to the business that shunned her, but this role is everything Sabrina’s ever longed for.

Now she has to get in shape for it.

Benjamin Demarco’s gym, Sound Fitness, continues making a name for itself in Seattle. And now, he finds himself with the task of training Sabrina, getting her in shape for the role of her life. He’s trained hundreds of women. This is his job. So why does he suddenly see Sabrina as more than just another client? His hands linger on her skin, his breath catches when she’s near.

He knows better. Soon, she’ll be gone, living her life. A life that doesn’t include him.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Great

I just love this author and her books. There was just one "problem" with this story....and that it was too short. 😉 The storyline and characters were perfect. I also enjoyed the narration. It was also great to see some of our favorite characters from previous stories appear in cameo roles. I just wish there was a "character" list available for Kristens stories. Enjoy this read.

Shine With Me

A great listen! And Lance Greenfield and Lauren Sweet were really good as Ben and Sabrina!

Hot personal trainer falls for actress

Nic’s friend Ben becomes the personal trainer for Sabrina Harrison, the actress Luke Williams is directing in the new Callahan screenplay. This is a very short, relatively conflict free romance between two very goal oriented thirty somethings who are nice people. Sabrina has previous left the business due to the stress of the press and an eating disorder while young and heads a charitable foundation when Luke convinces her to return to acting. To get in shape for the role he hires Nic’s friend and the owner of a gym, Ben Demarco. It’s instant attraction. This is a very short story and though the 2 primary characters are interesting, plus Sabrina’s friend Zeke, there is not much to the story. The narration is possible though Lance Greenfiend overacts some of his role. Ok as a sale book but if not I recommend the ebook or paperback. Ideally at some point in the future the several novellas for this series will be combined into a single printed volume.

Great little novella

I love returning to the With Me in Seattle universe because each addition to the series is like reuniting with old friends. If you're new to the series, Shine With Me is the perfect afternoon read to quickly introduce you to Kristen Proby's brand of super sexy leading men and the sassy beauties that love them.

While I loved reconnecting with some of my favorite characters, Sabrina and Ben had my undivided attention. Sparks flew from the moment they met, almost as if their souls recognized their other half. It was only a matter of time before they gave in to the undeniable pull between them and it was perfect when they did. ❤

“I don’t care what anyone else thinks. Sometimes life just happens, and you meet someone you recognize. Someone that always held a place in your life, you just never knew it before.”

Great book

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

Shining

Sabrina and Bens story was one I didn’t know I needed. This is one of the best series and there isn’t a bad one in the series. To see Sabrina go back into acting because of Luke, who can turn him down, and learn from past experiences and to see Ben helping her and working to get his business in an even better place. Seeing them work together and fall for each other was great. Getting to see other character from other stories in this series is also great. I can’t wait for any more of the books in this series. Kristen probe never disappoints

Narration was great and kept you wanting to listen.

Another winner

This was another winner in this series. It was a little shorter than I would have liked at only 2.5 hours long. I would like to think that this author would take some of these novella’s and make a whole novel from them. The with me serious is one of my favourites I love revisiting characters from previous books. All in all a fun addition to a great series. Where the narration on every book is great.
