What an epic, wild and ROMANTIC love story. You Belong With Me is 10/10 in the heat, sparks, and PLOT department. Love!!!!!!
I LOVE mafia romance and I LOVE second chance! To see these two tropes together under the masterful care of Kristen Proby – just YASSS! I love the journey to regaining the love that was lost to them!
The next installment in the With Me in Seattle series is finally here and Kristen Proby does not disappoint with her first foray into the Mafia family genre! You Belong With Me has all the hallmarks of a With Me in Seattle book; family, laughs, & lots of love…but there’s so much more too. The suspense and edge of danger will keep you turning the pages from the moment you sit down. Plus, the new family members introduced will make sure the series continues for quite some time.
But I’m getting ahead of myself…because we finally have Archer & Elena’s story!! I’ve been starved for more about them since we got a small nugget of their backstory in Dream with Me and I’m just blown away. They endured so much to finally earn their happily ever after… and it was absolutely perfect…I’m just so freaking giddy!!
“You’re everything. It feels like I’ve loved you my whole life.”
And he has!! Since they were in high school. And even the years apart didn’t dull that all consuming need for one another because it was instantly ignited as soon as they reconnected. It’s a love so strong, so fierce, you’d die to protect it, and it’s perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Love Kristen Proby. I have purchased 16 of 21 books in this series and re-read the series several times.
I like the characters, I love the plot and everything about this book. Good job writer! If you have some great stories like this one, you can publish it on N0velStar, just submit your story to [email protected] or [email protected]
Always like an HEA with an “edge”…….great characters good ending…enough real to be interesting
This had a bit more depth then I was expected. I enjoyed it
It’s a WOW story-line with terrific writing and a great deal of angst! It’s been awhile since I’ve read a Mafia vs. Family vs. Public persona vs. Innocent bystanders. Such excellent writing and story-telling that you don’t want to put the book down. Being interrupted during the reading, gave me heartburn. Daughter Elena was physically abused by her Mafia boss father and leaving everlasting body scars that were lasting memories. Eventually, she ran, changed her name a couple times and tried to find a new life alone. The peace in her heart did not last and this is the story. Her only love, Archer, is a wonderful part of the book and I love him for being so good to her. Yes, reading this book will make you part of a couple families, in a good way. Loved it!

I really liked this book! During the beginning I wished we had more scenes from when they were before they were separated… I feel like I would’ve connected faster and maybe better if I knew how the love between Elena and Archer was when they were younger. I was missing a bit of action in the book as well. That said, I loved the relationship between Elena and Archer, it felt really genuine. I liked their character and the chemistry they had. Archers family was the best as well. The story was also interesting, but not surprising. However, it still kept me wanting to keep on reading… Recommending this to romance lovers who want a little bit of mafia on the side!

Wow!! This book blew me away!! It had so much steam and romance like the previous books in this series, but the added suspense and Mafia aspects had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I am always drawn to the characters this author creates, but Archer and Elena will stay with me for a long time.
Omg, I love mafia books, but mafia with the Montgomery/O’Callaghan clan, priceless!
I loved this book. I think it is probably my favorite in the With Me In Seattle series. I loved the fact the Archer started looking for Elena. There is something about suspense books that hook me in. The mob family story in this was very interesting. I hope that Elena’s cousins get books because I really want to learn more about them.
Hold your breath because the diva has finally entered the mafia universe!!!
Elena Watkins and Archer Montgomery fell in love very young, when they were still in school.
When she turned eighteen, the two eloped and got married.
But when she came home and told her father, hell came to Earth.
Elena suffered physical abuse and had Archer’s life threatened in the worst possible way. Either she would abandon him – and the marriage would be annulled – or Acher would be murdered before her eyes…
Twelve years later, Elena – or rather Ally, lived in Bandon, Oregon, worked at the Oregon Coast Wild Animal Rescue.
Her new life began with her new identity, after having lived for a time as Paige Williams, working in a vineyard in California.
Her grandmother had helped her escape after Elena’s father had been arrested and murdered in jail, and her mother was also killed.
Elena/Ally no longer had contact with her family.
Her only – and even rare – contact with her past was when, from time to time, she contacted, via a disposable phone, with Archer’s sister, Anastasia Montgomery.
Upon seeing the news on TV that her grandmother had died, Ally/Elena decides to go to the funeral, in Seattle, she just didn’t know how.
That’s when her past knocks on her door.
Archer Montgomery found her, and this time, he wouldn’t let her go.
It was love at first sight. This happened a lot with the men of the Montgomery family.
Archer didn’t think twice when he and Elena decided to get married, despite being so young.
So when she dismissed him in a simple phone call, he felt betrayed.
Only later did he learn from his sister that Elena got in touch and always asked about him.
He then decided it was time to find her and solve this problem.
Her father, who was chief of the mafia, was already dead. They could have another chance.
After managing to find her (find out how he got it. It’s so romantic!), He buys a house in Bandon to stay close to her and not give her a chance to escape.
But first, he needed to help her say goodbye to her grandmother.
However, despite the disguise Elena wore at the funeral, she is known to one of her cousins, Carmine, and now the mob family wants her back.
She would be punished for leaving the family (no one ever leaves the mafia behind) and if Archer wanted to stay with her, he would have to leave his old life and welcome the mafia.
What would be the best solution for the couple?
6 stars
Although Im not a fan of Mafia books I absolutely adore Kristen Proby’s With Me series and though this was not my favourite I still enjoyed this very much. An entertaining fast paced read.
