That’s what she’s told herself every day for twelve years. But now her father is dead, and Archer is back. Finally, they should be able to piece the broken pieces of their love back together.But the mafia has a long memory.
You Belong With Me by Kristen Proby felt like coming home as I adore the With Me In Seattle series!
The prologue of this book will put your heart in your throat as it sets up the “why” for this second chance romance.
I adored Archer… he knows what he wants and he wants Elena, in whatever way he can have her.
Throughout the book Proby did an amazing job at making it clear to the author that these two remained in each others hearts despite the time that passed.
For those who had read this author before due to the mafia element and it’s authenticity this book is a bit darker and more violent than many of her books but not to the point to which the love story gets lost. You still get pure Proby romance.
Elena and Archer path to happy was laced with deep emotion and a fight for love, one that has me knowing this is their forever happy.
The end of the beautiful end…. it has me so excited for Imagine with Me!
If you have not read this series… it will make for an epic summer binge read and as this goes live book 1 Come Away with Me is FREE!
If you like Mafia romance than you will be pleased to hear Elena’s cousins’ the Martinelli have stories planned starting with Carmine Martinelli in Underboss.

I like Kristen Proby’s writing abilities very much but I’ve never read a Mafia theme series after starting one by another of my favorite authors and finding the idea so distasteful. I’m , sadly, passing on this one.
You did a very good job reviewing.
