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.

I am so excited to share my review of Imagine with Me by Kristen Proby. This new novel by Kristen Proby is another great addition to the With Me in Seattle series. Image with Me is book #15 in the With Me in Seattle series and one you do NOT want to miss. It’s that good!!
Shawn O’Callaghan is a screenwriter living just outside Seattle and is working for Williams Films (Luke Williams -Come Away with Me), to bring a novel by author Lexi Perry to the big screen. Shawn is brother to artist Kane O’Callaghan (Wonder with Me) and is one sexy Irishman. Shawn doesn’t realize that writing this screenplay is a joint collaboration with the author Lexi Perry, could be the death of him. Both Shawn and Lexi banter back and forth in a way that builds an undeniable chemistry, frustration and aggravation alike.
Lexi Perry is a best selling author that lives by herself in Minnesota and relishes the peace and quiet it provides. She values her solitude. Never one to travel or socialize, taking on this new opportunity with Shawn, challenges that peaceful balance she has in her life.
This book in my opinion, has the signature Kristen Proby characteristics: great main characters, sexy storyline, great supportive family, realistic conflict, beloved returning characters from previous books in the series – Luke & Natalie, Kane & Anastasia as well as the O’Callaghan siblings.
This book could be read as a stand-alone, but treat yourself to the series. You definitely will NOT regret meeting the Montgomery’s or the O’Callaghan’s. You’ll fall in love with each character and each book!
I adore this series and every time another book comes out, I’m anxiously awaiting. I enjoyed reading Lexi and Shawn’s story and sincerly hope we get some more books in this series ‘cuz I truly love them. It was a fun sexy and romantic story that definitely will have your heart flutter. Another great read!
Lexi is in Washington to try and co-write the screenplay for her book that hopefully will be a great movie but when she and Shawn meet, they get off on the wrong foot and can’t seem to get along. With him always showing up late for work, the frustration between them rises and nothing seems to go right. But when Shawn proposes something to her, she can’t resist and her decision actually seems to be the right one for them to try and built a great on-screenplay. The more they get to know each other, the more their attraction for one each other grows. Lexi’s feelings have grown which makes it even more difficult that their time together may be coming to end soon, something both don’t seem to be prepared to do yet. Will their relationship stand a chance? And will they find their way to each other?…
Shawn and Lexi are thrown together to write the screen play for Lexi’s thriller that has been bought by Luke William’s production company. The only problem is the two of them can’t seem to come eye to eye on the rewrite. Lexi can’t handle the sterile environment of the offices, and Shawn’s need to change everything that she feels is important to flow of the story plus his infinity to being late daily. After a few days, she’s had just about enough. Until Shawn makes the suggestion to move their writing sessions to his island home off the Seattle Sound.
Even with the two of them rubbing each other the wrong way in the professional sense – the personal side there is an attraction that is hard to sway from. These two are magnetic in all the ways needs to make this a super sexy read.
I never want the With Me In Seattle Series to end. Another great book in the bag and I’m already clamoring for book 16 in January.
Another wonderful Kristen Proby book! Shawn and Lexi are so great together. They just fit. Their working relationship is definitely the love/hate part of the relationship but when they are not working it is pure love and lust. He really helps her to realize she’s not agoraphobic and she teaches him that he can have a relationship. Their story was a great addition to the With Me series!
An enjoyable romance that gives us two highly independent and successful writers who start off on the wrong foot. Now forced to work together, they’ll have to come to terms. All the fighting and numerous disagreements leads to some off the charts sexual tension. They may not get along in the writing room, but the bed room is another story. This tale is a sort of enemies to lovers romance.
Kristen Proby is a fabulous writer. I have read many of her books and loved many, including the entire With Me in Seattle series! However, every once a while a book comes along that seems rushed and contrived. This is that book. I felt like I was being told the story versus experiencing it. When you come to know an author’s ability to weave words that allow you to become immersed in the story, like you are there, a part of it. You tend to expect that with every book they write. This book fell short of that expectation. I also struggled with some unrealistic elements. The middle of the book started to pick up a bit allowing me to move past the unrealistic elements. Overall, it’s a fun easy read with likable characters.
Kristen has once again taken us on a wonderful journey with her imagination, bringing her characters to life. I fell in love with her books from the first one in this series and I continue to enjoy the ride. Imagine with me is Shawn and Lexi’s story. Lexi writes novels and Shawn is a screen writer. They are put together to bring Lexi’s pages alive on the big screen. They may butt heads from the beginning but they soon find a comfortable way to work and that may lead to so much more. They have spark, sass, romance and compassion. They each come out of their comfort zone Lexi more so than either of them. It is wonderful to watch her blossom as she enjoys the new adventure of working with Shawn and his crazy family! Loved it.

4.5 Stars!
Imagine With Me is the 15th book in the beloved With Me In Seattle Series and it follows the story of Lexi and Shawn. Bestselling author Lexi Perry’s dreams are about to come true. One of her beloved books is being made into a film. With her head in the clouds, anything is possible….that is until she meets Shawn. Shawn rubbed Lexi the wrong way after their first encounter, leaving her dreading having to work with him. They butt heads at every turn and the idea of them coming to a compromise seems nearly impossible. And it doesn’t help that these two are undeniably attracted to one another. Will Lexi and Shawn find a way to get along? Will all the delicious tension between them lead to something more? There’s only one way to find out….
Every time I dive back into the world that author Kristen Proby has created with the With Me In Seattle Series, it feels like I’ve come home. I’m immediately sucked into the world that she has created and feel this undeniable pull to the characters. And let me tell you, Imagine With Me does not disappoint.
From the moment I met Lexi and Shawn, I had to know more. These two had so much chemistry, I’m surprised my kindle didn’t burst into flames. Sure, they butted heads and were stubborn as ever. But all that complication led to some serious tension. And I for one, couldn’t wait to see how it all played out. Lexi was a fabulous character. As someone who is a total introvert, I found Lexi easy to relate to. Trust me, given the choice, I’d rather be hanging out at home, instead of being surrounded by a bunch of strangers. Lexi is extremely passionate about the stories she writes and has a clear vision in her head. It isn’t easy for her to give up control and to just relax, but if anyone can pull her out of her shell, it’s Shawn. Speaking of Shawn, I liked him right off the bat. He has a good heart and family means the world to him. He too is passionate about his craft and is used to getting his way. Lexi was the perfect match for him. She wasn’t afraid to tell him no and wasn’t afraid to stick to her guns about the things that truly mattered. I loved watching these two try to navigate their way to a happily ever after. Neither one of them was perfect, but that just made me love them more.
Imagine With Me is absolutely everything that I was hoping for and then some. I fell in love with the characters and their story instantly. I love, love, loved all of the secondary characters and am hoping that we will see more of Shawn’s siblings in the future because there is just one story I am DYING for! Imagine With Me is well-paced and entertaining. This story is filled with lots of passion and tension. There’s drama, but nothing over the top. There’s romance and just the right amount of angst and steam. All in all, a perfect read to spend your day getting lost in. I look forward to seeing what this author has in store for us readers next!
Oh, this was fun and sexy and just an all-around feel-good story. I love the tension between Shawn and Lexi and their back and forth made the story fun. I felt like it dragged at times when they kept fighting their feelings but you can’t deny their chemistry. I loved the storyline too!
Another wonderful installment of the With Me In Seattle Series. This one more focused on the O’Callaghan’s than the Montgomery’s but completely full of the family involved feeling that goes with the series. There is a little more angst and a little less swoon in this book but a great connection to the characters and story just the same.
Shawn is a well now screenplay writer who is put together with the novelist to turn her book into a production. Should be easy enough, right? He certainly wasn’t prepared for the strong minded woman who is determined not to loose her story in the conversion to screen. He also wasn’t prepared for the beauty and his attraction to her.
Lexi is super excited of this opportunity to expand her book to the screen. But in order to do this she has to step out of her comfort zone and leave the safety of her home office to do so. Many first and a lot of anxiety for this gal. Armed and ready to keep her book true to itself, she goes head to head with Mr. O’Callaghan.
After a rocky start, they slowly find their way to working in relative harmony. They quickly learn that they like to spend time outside of work together. While Shawn helps his family, Lexi tags along and is helping out soon too. Learning so much about herself and finding some friends along the way. Could there be more for Lexi and Shawn or will things just stay a working relationship?
*** Advanced copy provide in exchange for an honest review. ***
Sometimes with so many books in a series, you get tired and quit the series. Not this girl. The With Me series just keeps growing these “arms” that keep you coming back for more. Shawn and Lexi needed a swift kick in the arse sometimes, but they made you believe it would all work out.
Can’t wait for more O’Callaghans’ and super excited for the mafia books. Great story telling.
5 Star Review of Imagine With Me (With Me In Seattle #15) by Kristen Proby
AUDIO REVIEW:
Tim Paige and Emma Wilder did a great job bringing this story to life for me.
I have only read a few books in this series, but what I have read I have loved. This is Shawn O’Callaghan and Lexi Perry’s story and was a great addition to this wonderful series; I was captivated from the first to the last chapter.
Although the fifteenth book in the series you can easily read this as a standalone. Shawn is a screenwriter who has been tasked with bringing author Lexi’s story to the big screen.
Despite themselves, the attraction between them is too intense to ignore. The chemistry between them sizzles and was so hot and steamy. I loved Lexi, she was feisty and sassy and could give as good as she got.
The banter was witty and the push and pull of their relationship made for an entertaining read.
