ALL THE WAY is the first book in Kristen Proby's "Romancing Manhattan" series. London Watson is a glamorous dancer and star of Broadway, and her personal life is just as dramatic as any role she's played on the stage. London's parents recently died in a fire and she is estranged from her drug addict brother. She retreats to a beachside home to recover emotionally from her parents' sudden death, as well as recover physically from an injury that is keeping her from performing. Unassuming attorney Finn Cavanaugh hasn't had nearly the exciting life that London has, but he is exactly the kind of "Clark Kent" nice guy hero I crave. While beachside neighbors, London and Finn get to know each other better and a passionate love affair develops. Hooray! ALL THE WAY is a must-read for contemporary romance fans and readers who love nice guy heroes.

I think it's great that London and Finn are mature adults rather than inexperienced youths who don't know much about life or relationships. However, their experience has also made them set in their ways and leads to some trouble communicating. The sexual element to their relationship is never a problem for this couple, and Kristen Proby packs ALL THE WAY with several sensual and delightfully steamy scenes for romance fans. London and Finn butt heads when they fail to directly express their thoughts on how they expect a relationship between them to work. Several things are thought to be implied yet obvious, and explosions occur when they exasperate each other with their assumptions. Finn is a lethal combination of sexy, smart, and sweet, but he occasionally thinks he's helping when London views his actions as dictatorial and dismissive. Thankfully these two both have people to confide in and act as a sounding board. Finn has his brothers, and London has her friend Sasha to listen but also point them in the right direction.

ALL THE WAY is a story with a lot of sizzle and a few scares to entrance readers. In addition to the romance, Kristen Proby injects a little danger and suspense in ALL THE WAY with some unnerving occurrences to torment London as she tries and sort out her love life. Although the love story remains paramount, there are a few genuinely terrifying moments in ALL THE WAY. I look forward to the next installment in Kristen Proby's "Romancing Manhattan" series.

SUMMARY

In New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby’s brand new Romancing Manhattan series, three brothers get more than they bargain for as they practice law, balance life, and navigate love in and around New York City.

Finn Cavanaugh is known for being a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. He owns a successful law firm with his brother and brother-in-law in Manhattan. On the rare occasion that he has down time, he spends it at his home in Martha’s Vineyard. But when Finn’s troubled niece goes to stay with him for the summer in Martha’s Vineyard, he’s reluctant to take time off from work. That is, until he meets his beautiful new neighbor, London.

London Watson is a Tony Award winning actress on Broadway. When tragedy strikes her family, leaving her alone and injured, she flees Manhattan for Martha’s Vineyard. Hoping she can figure out how to pick up the pieces of her life, London is convinced that she’ll never be able to return to the stage. But when she meets the charming young girl next door and her sexy uncle, they soon lure London out of her shell as she finally begins to heal from the wounds of her past.

But when London feels confident enough to return to the spotlight, she’s dealt another devastating blow. Will the newfound love between London and Finn be enough to conquer all? Or will it be over before it has a chance to grow…?
