Publisher's Summary

From NYT best-selling author Kristen Proby comes an all new stand-alone novel in her beloved With Me In Seattle Series!

Elena Watkins is used to getting what she wants. She grew up the daughter of one of the most powerful mafia bosses on the west coast, an indulged, rich girl who got away with everything. 

Except the love of her life. 

Archer was the king of their high school. His charming grin swept her off her feet. Days after graduation, they ran away together and eloped. Elated to spend the rest of their lives together, Archer and Elena were on cloud nine. 

Until Elena’s father discovered what they’d done. 

He swore to keep them apart, even if it meant taking Archer’s life. Knowing what her father was capable of, Elena left Archer, and never looked back. The pain of leaving him would pale to the pain of losing him.

That’s what she’s told herself every day for 12 years. But now her father is dead, and Archer is back. Finally, they should be able to piece the broken pieces of their love back together. 

But the mafia has a long memory.

Elena & Archer's story wasn't my favorite but I still enjoyed it. I love a second chance romance, It's so easy to feel the connection and instant love when the characters have a history. The mafia parts of this story were a little far-fetched and "fluffed" over like oh it's just the mafia, no big deal lol.

The narration was great.

Great Suspense!

So far I have loved all of the books in this series. The subjects went from bubbly and slightly dramatic to more intense and suspenseful. I Love it. However I am a little sadden by the less intense love making. Overall I've still enjoyed the books but nobody has quite gotten down like Luke and Nate...js

Archer’s past with mysterious Elaina is revealed

The eldest Montgomery brother’s past is revisited when he tracks her down. It is a story of young lovers being very naive. Mob princess Elaina tries to escape the family without the proper preparation to be with her love. Archer is not aware of the evil of her family, especially her father but she should have warned him. In the present, the Montgomery family has become powerful and influential and Archer is smart enough to wade into the danger to reclaim Elaina without disrespecting her family while still refusing to give her up. Elaina’s character is noble but stupid right from the start so not sure what Archer saw in her. The story is fast moving and the narration is great, but more of the Montgomery extended family would be wonderful.

Elena and Archer

The story begins with Elena having eloped with Archer and her mafia boss father threatening and beating her bloody to force her to get an annulment. He wanted her to marry another mafia man. He was horrible. He beat her with a whip and punches her in the face. Then he had the nerve to brand her. She agrees to the annulment only after he threatened to kill Archer. She eventually escapes with the help of her grandmother and many years later, Archer finds her. Her grandmother passes and she goes to the funeral. Archer's sister fixed her up to look like a man so that she is not identified. But, someone recognized her. This book was really good but I felt that the ending could have been more. Sebastian York and Stacey Gembolski did a great job with the narration.

Amazing

I was blown away!!! Sebastian York as Archer Montgomery was freaking amazing!!
This second chance mafia story was simply amazing! I was so completely caught up in this story. I have been obsessed with Archer since Dream with Me and his story was simply amazing! Well done!

This will be a relisten for sure!

A mixture of romance and suspense story

Wow, what can I say. It certainly started with a twist. This romantic/suspenseful story is about Archer Montgomery and Elena Watkins. Archer and Elena have been in love since high school and when Elena suddenly leaves, Archer's is heart broken. Elena never wanted to leave Archer, but she knew she needed to keep him safe. You see Elena is the daughter of the mafia boss.

Fast forward twelve years and Archer has found her, and he is determined to not let her go again.

You can read this book as a standalone, but I would recommend reading them in order. I also loved the narration by Sebastian York and Stacey Gembolski. They honestly were the perfect fit for Archer and Elena.

Intriguing twist to the With Me world

I absolutely loved this book from the With Me series. I had already loved the story having read it on my Kindle when it was first published. As is typical for me I also eventually buy and listen to the audio version, usually 6 mos. to a year later. The audio version did not disappoint, I actually binged this and listened in one day. I already loved the story, but the performance was amazing. I have been a big fan of Sebastian York for what seems like eons.. Stacey Gembolski is new to me, but she was equally amazing. I highly recommend this audio book to any fans of the With Me series, or even if you are new to audio in general.. you wont be disappointed

Great Listen!

I haven't read one of these books in so long and I am not sure what was stopping me. I love Kristen and this book was no different. Archer was completely devastated when Elena left him after they eloped at 18 and he had no idea why she left. It was young love, but real. She is the daughter of a well known mob boss and her life was in danger and she left to protect herself as well as Archer. Archer had really never moved on so when he found out why Elena left him and that she really did love him, he set out on a search to find her. He was unwavering in his love for this woman, no matter what happened to him. He really would go through anything to prove his love.
This book was darker than a lot of other of Kristen's books and I loved the darkness. Sign me up for mafia books and a little blood. I'm all in. This was a great quick read and it had a really amazing hero.

Best Ever!

I absolutely loved this story! It had my attention from the very beginning! kept me guess and wanting to read more at ever moment!!

Not bad

This was a nice (second chance?) mafia romance. I wish the suspense and pining was intensified and dragged out but 🤷‍♀️ still enjoyable.
