From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby, comes an all new novel in her beloved With Me In Seattle series!Shawn O’Callaghan loves his job as a screenwriter almost as much as he loves his family. But this latest project could quite possibly test his patience beyond anything he’s ever had to endure. Generally unflappable, the author he’s thrown into the trenches with pushes every button … every button he has. Sometimes twice. And it doesn’t help that he can’t stop thinking about her in ways that are anything but professional. But how can he help it? The redhead is gorgeous beyond reason—and utterly infuriating.
Bestselling author Lexi Perry is finally about to leave her mark on the world; after all, seeing her dark and dangerous words brought to life is a dream come true. Until she meets the man who is supposed to make that happen. From the minute they laid eyes on each other, it was clear there would be tension, but she had no idea how much until they got down to business. He obviously doesn’t understand her vision. Though she’s having trouble lately too, given all she can picture is what he looks like under his clothes and imagining what it would sound like if he talked dirty to her in that sexy Irish lilt of his.
If they can find a way to meet in the middle, this movie could be one for the ages. As could their love.

As a longtime fan of both Kristen Proby and her With Me In Seattle books, I was super-excited to get my hands on IMAGINE WITH ME, the latest book in the series. Not only is the beloved series ongoing, but now we have the O’Callaghan family added to the mix, and may I say that it is a match made in romance heaven.
Kristen promised us some alpha deliciousness with this book, and she did not disappoint. Shawn O’Callaghan is commanding, sexy, talented, funny, and totally dedicated to his wonderful family. He knows what he wants, and goes for it, until…until Lexi Perry enters his life.
Lexi is talented in her own right, and confident in her work as a well-known author. But when it comes to life, that confidence is harder for her to come by, and it isn’t until she spends time with Shawn and his amazing family that she begins her journey back to herself.
Beyond the relationship between Shawn and Lexi, getting to know the rest of the O’Callaghans is a true pleasure, and that’s the truth of it. They love each other, support each other, and drive one another crazy, and they are so much fun to read. I am certain that there are more tales to be told about the remaining siblings, and I am totally here for them all. In the meantime, IMAGINE WITH ME is everything that I’ve come to love and anticipate from Kristen, full of fun times, romantic times, and sexy times. This book is a total guilty pleasure, and a great addition to the series, so make sure to grab your copy and enjoy.
Shawn and Lexi both writers one writes novels the other screenplays, both are partnering for a project. For Lexi this is a dream come true and validation of her work. For Shawn it is a chance to work with an author he admires. For us this is an amazing romance novel that takes us down a not so expected path to the HEA we crave.
We get another reunion with the O’Callaghan family and learn more about the talented and rambunctious Irish family.
Romantic, exciting and filled with more passion than you can ever imagine this book will melt you heart.
What happens when you put an Author and a Screenwriter together to transform her book into a movie? Magic!
Lexi is finally seeing one of her books be turned into a movie but she hasn’t given up full control. Lexi and the screenwriter, Shawn, will work together to bring her book to life. But when tempers flare will someone walk away or will they give in to the sexual tension that is hovering so heavy over them it’s like a thick layer of fog?
I have been hopping in and out of this series at various times so I can say that each of these book can be read as a standalone but I will stress that they do revolve around different families and if you miss a book you may miss a brother, sister, or cousin’s story which can be a bit of a spoiler. For me that meant I missed Shawn’s brother Kane’s story in Dream with Me , but it is on my TBR shelf and I do plan on reading it at some point in the near future.
If you enjoy the Office Romance trope, or are just looking for a good Contemporary Romance with lots of steam I would recommend this book to you.
Happy Reading!!!
I discovered this author just recently and haven’t read most of her series, but I have greatly enjoyed the ones that I have picked up. Each can stand alone yet the infinitely likable and highly appealing characters and their storylines appear and carry over in most of the installments. Written in my favorite dual POV, the storylines were engaging, easy to follow, low in angst, and sizzled with adult sensuality. I adored the featured couple of Shawn and Lexi, they scorched the sheets and undoubtedly, the ceiling tiles as well.
This is the 15th book in this totally addictive series. I may be coming late to the Seattle party having not started at the beginning but I am loving this series.
This one features Shawn and Lexi. Shawn is one of the O’Callahan siblings that we met in Dream with Me #13 ( my first book in this series) and he is hired to work as a screenwriter turning Lexi’s book into a film. Soon as these two meet the sparks are flying, the chemistry is seriously hot and its 50/50 as to whether they will kill or jump each other.
I did love these two together, they fit so well and fired off each other well. The gave us a fun, sweet and steamy read that you will enjoy from beginning to end.
I really enjoyed his family and I am hoping we get to read Maeve, Maggie and Keegan’s stories.
Shawn & Lexi have been entered into my favorite stories category! They’re both writers (Lexi of books, Shawn of screenplays) who have some communication issues when it comes to their interpersonal relationship. This makes for some tough times, but also some beautiful & fun moments when they DO get the communication thing right.
I love Shawn & his family (we get a little Kane & Stasia, too)! And dang it if this didn’t make me want to go back to Seattle… : )
Another Kristen Proby work of art. This is another installment with a sexy Irishman who will worm his way into your heart. We got a glimpse of Shawn and Lexi at the end of You Belong with Me, and I had a feeling the banter and chemistry would be off the charts and it absolutely was! I absolutely loved Lexi! She showed the world to look inside and go for tour dreams. She also taught the reader that it’s okay to learn, grow and adapt.
I have always loved an “office romance” and this has a way with it. I loved every second of it.
It was a total treat to see even more into the O’Callaghan family. I can not wait for more.
If you want a sexy, hardheaded Irishman mixed with a strong female who is driven and an inspiration…. pick this up!
Imagine With Me is the story of Shawn, a broody Irish screenwriter and Lexi, a painfully shy author who’s book has been chosen to turn into a movie. They immediately get off on the wrong foot when Shawn insults Lexi. After learning they will be working together, Shawn tries to smooth the way a bit, but Lexi is defensive, of her self and her book. Lets just say she’s not very receptive to changes Shawn wants to make. Fireworks ensue as their attraction grows.
I absolutely LOVE reading books that are part of a series and the “With Me In Seattle” series is a gift that keeps on giving. There are so many facets to this gem and every one is brilliant. I love that family (featured in other stories) make cameos but also that Shawn’s family is very much front and center in this wonderful tale. Makes me want to fly to Washington and spend time with them.
This is hands down the hottest WMIS book in a long time and I loved every single word. It was a bit of a slow burn enemies to lovers story and it had all the elements I love in KP’s stories. As usual no detail was spared from the setting/locations in the book, to the characters, and the unique family dynamics.
Lexi and Shawn start with fireworks, but not the sexy kind. The tension between them starts from the first scene and it evolves into something so powerful. They are both such passionate people but they have walls up regarding commitment and relationships. It’s all fun and games until they both have to acknowledge how they truly feel about each other.
I love the evolution that Lexi has in Imagine With Me. With every chapter you can feel her opening up and growing and his attraction to her becomes deeper.
The O’Callaghans do not disappoint. I love this big Irish family and I can’t wait for Maggie and Cameron’s story. I have a feeling it’s going to be intense because there’s so much history between them. I also can’t wait to see what lucky lady captivates sweet Keegan. I’m sure we will get Maeve’s story soon enough as well. The O’Callghans have wedged their way into my Montgomery loving heart.
5 ‘ I Dreamed Of You’ Stars
Boy oh Boy!!! Imagine With Me was just as deliciously sexy and captivating as I expected from its blurb. With a ton of enticing banter, some deep and emotional self discovery and that amazing O’Callaghan family that make me wish I was born Irish, Shawn and Lexi’s love story was exactly the heart warming tale I needed to put a smile in my face! <3 <3 <3 <3
I adored this book! I couldn’t put it down, these two were everything I needed and more, Miss Proby knocked it out of the park!
Yet again, Kristen Proby captured my imagination with her words. I love the With Me series and this story was a great addition to the line up. I could clearly imagine Shawn’s moments of frustration with Lexi, and Lexi’s moments of anxiety when out of her depth. And I could almost hear that gorgeous Irish accent of the O’Callaghan clan. A fabulous story, well told.
So good! Love co-workers with benefits stories. One of Kristen’s steamiest too!
I loved getting to know the O’Callaghan’s better in this book! Kristen did an amazing job as flawlessly adding these characters into one of my favorite series. The premise was so unique! I loved watching Lexi & Shawn work together to bring her book to the big screen. Their chemistry was over the top, and I really (REALLY) loved how after she went home she had so much confidence! It was such a great book! 5 AMAZING STARS!!!
Thank you Valentine PR and the author for a complimentary copy. I voluntarily reviewed this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
Imagine With Me
With Me In Seattle #15
By: Kristen Proby
REVIEW
As the fifteenth addition, Imagine With Me is part of Kristen Proby’s long standing With Me In Seattle Series. This book is the Shawn O’Callaghan, and Lexi, story. These two are working together to turn Lexi’s book into a movie, and they don’t agree on much at first. Lexi is a keep to herself kind of person, but Shawn uses the advantage of his family to draw her out of her box. Of course, they share attraction and hot scenes. The best aspect is character growth. Lexi really opens up to possibilities and people. She reminds me of myself-introverted and avoiding everything and everyone. Shawn helps Lexi see what could be and what could happen if she steps out of her own confinement. The story is lovely, as expected, and I highly recommend!
Lexi is excited that her book will be developed into a film. Looking forward to working with Luke Williams, she’s anxious to meet the screenwriter. Her nerves soon turn to irritation when Shawn snubs her during their first meeting. Now she has to figure out how to work the next few weeks with the sexy jerk.
Shawn is overworked and short-tempered. Finding out he snapped at the author for Luke’s new project, he feels terrible and hopes to make amends before they begin work. But his feelings soon turn to aggravation as they continuously butt heads. Arguing with Lexi is tiring yet exhilarating, as he is amazed at her unwillingness to give in.
I love the Lexi and Shawn’s story. Loved even more seeing all the family and friends make appearances and meddling. Another fantastic addition to the series! Looking forward to the next one!
I loved this book. The With Me in Seattle series is one of my favorites. Shawn and Lexi were great and I loved their chemistry. I also loved the older woman storyline. I can’t sit for the next book in this series!
Kristen Proby delivers an amazing workplace romance. She steamed it up between these co-workers with benefits! A family saga that will leave you panting and smiling and loving your happily ever after!
Stories like Imagine With Me is the reason I Love Kristen Proby and she is a one-click author for me. Imagine with me brings us back to the friends and families we love so much in Seattle. Lexi is a romantic suspense writer who has optioned her book for film with Luke Williams. She is quirky and rigid, she has her set routine and does not get out of her condo, let alone her city very often. Suddenly she finds herself across the country in Seattle working and arguing with a hot shot screen writer Shawn O’Callaghan. Their fiery chemistry and banter is extremely engaging and entertaining. The whole O’Callaghan clan plays a part in this book and while not quite as rambunctious as the Montgomery girls I loved the family scenes and the relationship Lexi develops with Shawn’s family.
Both of the characters act as adults throughout the story, there isn’t drama for drama’s sake, but the story evolves naturally and is full of tension and hot hot romantic scenes. I tried to read this as slowly as possible because I enjoyed it so much.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my review.
Straight away, I fell for these two characters. You see, everything that Kristen Proby writes hits me in the feels and every book and couple of hers makes me want to live inside the worlds she creates. I’ve been in love with the With Me In Seattle Series for years and I look forward to every new instalment. Even though we’ve moved away from the Montgomery clan more, I still love how these new characters fit into our favourite family!
Shawn and Lexi are no exception to this. I loved everything about their journey and story and I just knew from the start that I would fly through this book. And I did.
In less than a day I had devoured this story and instantly knew that it would become a reread sometime in the future.
Shawn gives me Matt Montgomery vibes and you know I am totally okay with this! He is sexy and dominant and I am just all about him. The Irish lilt too – *insert fanning motion* phwoar!
Once again, I am in love with the writing and the world-building and just plain everything. It is rare that a series makes me feel so happy with every single release – plus – many series that run for over twelve books are ones I don’t continue with. But even on book 15, I know I will read this series until whenever the end is.
I honestly recommend this book, this series and this author to everybody. If you love romance, you will adore the universe that Kristen Proby has created.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
