Blog Tour: Charming Hannah by Kristen Proby

Charming Hannah by Kristen Proby Publication Date: February 27^th, 2018

From New York Times Bestselling author, Kristen Proby, comes the first in an all-new trilogy in her beloved Big Sky Series!

Hannah Malone loves her new town. Despite living in Cunningham Falls for five years, she’s still considered a “move in” by most of the locals, and that doesn’t bother her in the least. She’s the “new girl”, and she hasn’t regretted it for one day. This town is her sanctuary. Her home. The one place she finally fits in and feels safe after a lifetime of being different and running from the memories and a past so far away it can’t haunt her anymore.

As the newly appointed police chief, Brad Hull has the responsibility to keep his citizens safe and to maintain order. His roots in this town are deep—five generations deep, to be exact. Cunningham Falls, Montana is his town, and being a cop and protecting what’s his is his passion. Everything’s running like clockwork until a sassy redheaded doctor moves in and disrupts the order—and Brad’s focus.

She’s not just beautiful, funny, and strong. Hannah’s everything he’s been looking for in a woman. The chemistry is undeniable, and the heat in the bedroom is off the charts. Brad knew the minute he met Hannah that she was the one for him. He’s tenacious in his pursuit of her. But when the past catches up with Hannah, will Brad be able to protect her and their hearts?

Excerpt:

Someone is ringing my fucking doorbell. I was at the hospital until the wee hours, I was finally in a deep, lovely sleep, and someone is ringing the bell.

All I know for sure is, this had better not be the damn door-to-door people trying to sell me a vacuum. Or a magazine. Or Jesus.

I wrap my robe around me, stumbling toward the door. I pull it open and am surprised to find an excited Sadie and a ridiculously sexy Brad standing at my door.

“Is that coffee?” I ask.

“For you,” he confirms and holds it out to me.

“Come to mama,” I mutter and take it from his hand, taking a grateful sip. Sadie brushes past my leg, into the house, and curls up on my couch.

“She’s not supposed to be on the furniture,” Brad says.

“My house, my rules,” I reply and take another sip of the one thing in this world I’m addicted to, and give him a once over from head to toe. “You look like you got about as much sleep as I did.”

“Rough night?” he asks without confirming or denying.

“Babies,” I reply with a shrug. “You?”

He just shrugs. “Are you going to ask me in?”

“Sure.” I back up and gesture him into the room. “Sorry, I was sleeping pretty good. My energy level is about equal to a sloth on Xanax.”

“I can leave and let you go back to bed.”

His eyes roam up and down my body, reminding me that I’m just in a robe and nothing else. His green eyes are hot, and every muscle in his body is tight.

Even sleep deprived, I can tell when a man is in the mood.

“You’ve brought me coffee. I’ll never kick you out when you’ve done that.”

“I’ll remember that,” he says with a chuckle.

“Besides, I have plenty of room.” I turn and walk into my bedroom, glancing behind me to see that he’s following me. He makes a hand gesture at Sadie, which I assume means stay. “We can take a nap,” I suggest.

His lips twitch, but he doesn’t say anything when he joins me next to the bed. He takes my coffee and sets both of our cups on the bedside table.

“Is that what you want, Hannah?” he murmurs and skims his fingertips down my arms.

“Eventually.”

Meet Kristen:

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

***** MY REVIEW *****

What a phenomenal trip back to Cunningham Falls, Montana for the love story of Brad and Hannah. They sizzle when they are on the pages together and their love story isn’t immediate but the love builds and it is solid. Brad Hull was born and raised in Cunningham Falls, Montana, and is now the new Police Chief. He is laid back, handsome and quiet. Hannah Malone is a new to this town, but has made it her home. She is an OB GYN and a complete work-a-holic. She is sweet, but she can let herself be ruled by her fears and anxiety which prevents her from enjoying life. Still doesn’t detract what a lovely woman she is and how she offers to help anyone. Hannah caught Brad’s eye a few years ago, but they missed the chance to fully connect. Now here in the present, Brad is ready to attempt again to see if he can work his magic and get Hannah’s attention and get her to take a chance on him. They have really hot chemistry when around one another and they have this instant connection so I could tell they were meant for one another. Brad is also able to get Hannah to relax and not stress out which was wonderful when it came to her fears/anxiety. Not to say they run into trust issues but this isn’t a speed race and they work toward finding that balance toward a great relationship. In the meantime, they are both busy people with busy careers and that is something that presents a challenge or two. This is a beautiful story about two people who are finally at the right time , in the right place to fall in love and they face some obstacles and they work to overcome those to get their HEA. If you like contemporary romances with a bit of heat and steam, then you do not want to miss out. Kristen Proby is a must buy author because her books are so beautifully written and have such likeable, believable characters who are relatable. The characters highs and lows are what make this one of my favorites of 2018. I have to say, I look forward to reading about the other characters I’ve seen in this book like Jenna & Max.

My Rating: 4.8 stars *****
“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
