Release & Review: When You Blush

 






From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When You Blush, a small-town, forced-proximity romance set in Bitterroot Valley!

Blake

I don’t do relationships, but I’m excellent at casual hookups. That’s not to say I’m a jerk. Not at all. I respect women—all women—and I know the value of love. But I’m married to my job as a physician. In fact, I’m married to the hospital, having a full-time affair with the clinic, and my family is my side piece. I don’t have time for a relationship with a woman.

But then the most beautiful human I’ve ever laid eyes on walks onto my plane, and my world tilts. Thanks to a Montana snowstorm, I spend one incredible night with Harper, but wake up alone. She never told me her last name. She’s just … gone. It would figure that the one woman I could see myself breaking my own rules for is the one I can’t have.

Harper

It’s time for me to come home to Montana to help take care of my dad and pick up the slack for my siblings. I’ve been gone for a long time, but this beautiful corner of the world is my home. I’m excited to start my job as a NICU nurse at Bitterroot Valley General and begin a new chapter in my life. A fresh start. A clean slate.

Then he walks into the room, and it’s suddenly hard to breathe. Blake was the one-night stand who still haunts my dreams. The man can do things. Amazing things. But I never thought I’d see him again. Okay, that’s a lie. I knew he worked at this hospital, but he’s an ER doctor. I’m in a different department, so I planned to avoid him. Yet that didn’t last more than the first hour of my first shift.

Now, he’s pursuing me and saying things like forever. But with a past like mine, can I trust that he won’t tire of me and leave? Or is this finally my happily ever after?

Review

This is the 4th book of the series and I could not find any flaws in this one. We still have the small town ambience, nosy family and friends, beautiful setting and perfect for each other main characters. But wait--this is a Kristen Proby book. She writes girls night scenes that are epic! 

We get a book club---yes!  Reading steamy books-yes!! And maybe some alcohol involved. And then they get to talking about everything. Why not all take pregnancy tests just for fun?? Oh my gosh! Harper might be new to town but the rest of the crew-especially the Blackwell women, have scooped her right up into the shenanigans. 

I loved that Blake and Harper both laid out the score--no relationship--just fun.  Funny how that turns around on you once you agree to spend quality time together. I also loved that Harper has such loving found family. Her brothers and sister are truly good people. 

Overall a great read! Can't wait to find out what happened with Juliet and how she broke Brooks heart! 

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
