All the Way by Kristen Proby



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, 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. 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?


I liked reading this book about Finn Cavanaugh and London Watson. I felt they both were strong as individuals and together they made their relationship work. Finn was super sexy but came off a little strong at times where I wanted to kick him in the foot.

It was nice to read a story where the female was able to standup for herself and communicate when she did not appreciate something she did not care for. I think London's concerns for her brother in the book were realistic overall and having personal experience with it...you always hope for the best.

The book held my attention for the most part but I felt something was off this time from all the other books I have read by the author. 


I rate this book 3 stars.

Description
Meet the Naughty Princess Club: a brand new series from USA Today bestselling author Tara Sivec that introduces readers to Fairytale Lane and the hilarity—and romance—that ensue when three women start a new business to make it rain.








Once upon a time Cynthia was the perfect housewife. Between being the President of the PTA and keeping her home spotless without a hair (or her pearls) out of place, her life was a dream come true. Her husband was once her knight in shining armor, but now he’s run off with all their money…and the babysitter.

Dressed as a princess at the annual Halloween block party on Fairytale Lane, she meets two other “princesses” also facing money troubles: antique store owner Ariel and librarian Isabelle. When the women are invited to wear their costumes to a party where they’re mistaken for strippers, Cindy, Ariel, and Belle realize that a career change could be the best way to make their money problems go bippity-boppity-boo.

But can structured Cindy approach a stripper pole without sanitizing wipes? And could the blue-eyed anti-prince that has been crossing her path become Cindy’s happily ever after? At the Stroke of Midnight is a hilarious, empowering story where princesses can save themselves while slaying in stilettos.



When you are offered an ARC by Tara Sivec, you take it, no questions asked strictly because, it’s Tara Freaking Sivec. Now, on to my thoughts about “At the Stroke of Midnight.” Go get this book…as soon as it becomes available you are to one click the little gem and start reading, pronto.

I could not put this book down. It had me laughing, swooning, and cheering. Talk about a fairy tale, Tara Sivec gave us a modern day adult version of one and I. LOVED. IT!  

Each chapter is creatively named and I couldn't help but laugh with the hilarious shenanigans behind the Naughty Princess Club. Cynthia, Ariel and Belle were three woman who couldn't be anymore different and yet their current situation brought them to  become the best of friends. I for one am excited to read Ariel's and Belle's stories next.
