Love With Me: A Friends to Lovers Romance (With Me In Seattle - The Crawfords Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Kristen Proby (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 3,241 ratings
From New York Times Bestselling Author, Kristen Proby, comes the latest in her beloved With Me In Seattle Series, Love With Me.

Best friends from college. Plus-ones since med school. A chance for something new...

Jace Crawford heals hearts for a living. More than that, medicine is his life. To become the leading cardiothoracic surgeon on the west coast, he’s made sacrifices. No social life. He barely has time to sleep. Love? Forget about it. But when everything goes horribly wrong on his table, and he unexpectedly loses a patient, Jace is suspended from work. When a man has nothing but his job, what does he do when that’s gone?

Joy Thompson collects unwanted strays. A dog with one eye, a three-legged cat, a bird that swears like a sailor? All part and parcel of her veterinary business. It helps pass the time. Until Jace calls out of the blue to ask her out on a real date. Spending extra time with him is dangerous. Her feelings for her best friend have always been stronger than simple companionship. If she gets attached, what happens when he goes back to work and leaves her behind? But as the weeks progress, falling for each other is inevitable. This time, Jace’s heart is the one that will need fixing before both of them end up broken.

Friends to lovers
This is one of the best series, and there isn’t a bad book in the series. Kristen Proby did not disappoint with this addition. Jace and Joy are great and show such love and respect for each other. Plus of course we get to see so many characters from other books in this series. Can’t wait for Levi’s story. Seeing how the friends to lovers works here is great. Plus Jaces work dilemma is so good. Cannot wait for the next addition to this series and read from Kristen Proby.

    M/F Romance
    I reviewed my own copy of this book for Wicked Reads BYOB

    I have read all of the books in this series and I have loved them all. This is a fantastic series and I highly recommend it.

    Now, having said that, this particular book was slightly different than the previous books in the series. This is a friends to lovers romance with spin off characters.

    Jace is a doctor who is in a position he's never been in before. He's twiddling his thumbs because he was unable to save a patient. With that being said, he's always had a best friend in Joy and when he's needed a date to an event, a friend to lean on or someone to just hang out with, Joy is who he calls. He has never had a serious relationship because he compares everyone else to her.

    Joy is a vet who has her own practice. She absolutely loves her job. Having met Jace in undergrad, she has always held a torch for him, but didn't want to ruin their friendship. Joy was a little hard to relate to, because if you really love someone for that long, you'd think it would show in other ways.

    While I did enjoy watching their slow buildup, it just didn't have quite the same feeling as the previous books and I missed that. It was a sweet friends to lovers book and I enjoyed it, but it just wasn't my favorite and I didn't devour it like I normally do with this series.

    Jace and Joy have been best friends for years. They go to all the fancy functions for Jace’s work together. The people in their families have wondered why they haven’t gotten together. Jace has run into a bit of a mishap in is job and has a lot of time on his hands. Joy and him end up spending a lot of time together. Along the way, they have feelings that have developed. They transition into a relationship seemlessly. They are the picture of a perfect couple. They fall in love quickly because they have loved each other for years. He resumes his job and becomes busy again and neglects his fiancée. She gets some pretty surprising news. In the end, it all works out perfectly and happily.

    I love KP with me in Seattle series. I love how the characters from before come back to play a part and you catch up with their lives. I loved Jace’s character (esp his sweet, caretaker side) and Joy who wears her heart on her sleeve and her love of animald is very endearing. Truly one of my favorite authors with the sweet, but dirty HEA. Can’t wait for the next one.

    This is one of those books that has sweet, but dirty all mixed in. It’s a HEA that you will swoon over. A must read (but I recommend starting with book #1 so you can build the characters). One click this today and start with this amazing author!!

    Kristen Proby has done it again. She’s created a heroine and hero that you want to be friends with. She’s created a couple that you have to root for. I absolutely loved Jace and Joy. I loved their friendship that just seemed to naturally become a relationship. I loved how much Joy loved animals, even taking some in and making them a part of her family. Joy is definitely the kind of woman a girl would want to be friends with.

    Then there’s Jace. You just want to hug him throughout most of the book. There are a couple moments where I wanted to shake him, but I think that is the case with all great book boyfriends. They can’t be completely perfect, right? And while Jace isn’t perfect, he makes one heck of a perfect couple with Joy. Sexy, sweet and everything in between.

    Although Love With Me is part of the With Me in Seattle series and you get to check in with a bunch of the super awesome characters from the first nine books, Kristen has created a new group of characters that are just as fun and lovable. You want to have drinks and dish with the ladies, while ogling the sexy as all get out men.

    I absolutely recommend this book and every single book that came before it. Of course, you don’t need to read the other ones to enjoy this one, but you should do it cause they’re awesome.

    Kristen Proby always writes stories with characters that I love. While they all have some similar characteristics- the men are hot and supportive, and the women are independent and strong,- they're also so varied. I found that to be the case in Love with Me, the 11th book in Kristen Proby's With Me in Seattle series.

    Jace and Joy have been friends since they were freshman in college. Now as a cardiothorasic surgeon and a veteranarian, they've been each other's go-to when they have events to attend. But things begin to shift for them romantically, and they are seeing each other differently than before. They are hestitant initially to give things a try, as they're worried that if things don't work out, they may ruin a wonderful friendship. Their feelings are too strong, however, and they throw caution to the wind. And Jace and Joy are so much stronger together than they are apart!

    I love the friends-to-lovers romance trope! I loved Jace and how much he could appreciate Joy's strength and smarts- and that he'd do anything for her! Joy was such a wonderful character who wanted to be herself, but loved Jace's support and love for his career.

    Love With Me brought me back to Seattle, a place that I so want to visit because I have fallen in love with this huge family! I so loved this book, and highly recommend Love with Me!

    They both have busy lives with their jobs and fitting in a relationship is not easy.
    There is also a surprise in the mix which could go either way.

    ‘Love With Me’ is a slow burn friends-to-lovers story about Joy and Jace... best friends since college. They've been there for each other through the good and bad times, but being both so focused on their careers (he is a cardiac surgeon and just nominated chief of surgery, and she is a veterinarian and has her own clinic) they tended to be each other’s +1 more than anything else...

    Jace has a challenging time at work, so he does the natural thing and he leans on Joy like never before. They spend a lot of time together and it’s then that he realises that he's started feeling differently for her and in fact realises he wants more...

    What a sweet and natural epiphany it was; "My feelings for Joy are changing, and have been for some time now. She's always been my friend. We're kindred spirits. But it's more than that. She's more than that"
    Since they were such good friends, they were so in sync with each other and were able to easily overcome obstacles along the way...

    Since the very first book (Come Away With Me), I'm in love with this series, Kristen Proby is awesome ... I love her characters, the sweetness and sexiness of the stories.
    Reading her books is always easy and relaxing. Another winner...
