Imagine With Me by Kristen Proby is now live!
Shawn O'Callaghan loves his job as a screenwriter almost as much as he loves his family. But this latest project could quite possibly test his patience beyond anything he's ever had to endure. Generally unflappable, the author he's thrown into the trenches with pushes every button he has. Sometimes twice. And it doesn't help that he can't stop thinking about her in ways that are anything but professional. But how can he help it? The brunette is gorgeous beyond reason--and utterly infuriating.
Bestselling author Lexi Perry is finally about to leave her mark on the world; after all, seeing her dark and dangerous words brought to life is a dream come true. Until she meets the man who is supposed to make that happen. From the minute they laid eyes on each other, it was clear there would be tension, but she had no idea how much until they got down to business. He obviously doesn't understand her vision. Though she's having trouble lately too, given all she can picture is what he looks like under his clothes and imagining what it would sound like if he talked dirty to her in that sexy Irish lilt of his.
If they can find a way to meet in the middle, this movie could be one for the ages. As could their love.

Excerpt
“What do you do, Lexi?”
“I’m a writer.”
Archer lifts a brow and turns to the man next to him. “Oh? Shawn’s also a writer. What do you write?”
“Novels,” I say and turn to the screenwriter, but he holds up a hand, stopping me.
“I’m not here to entertain any new projects tonight,” Shawn says, immediately cutting me off.
He thinks I’m trying to network with him? To get him to read something I’ve written and further my career?
Well, screw him.
My face goes from friendly to cold in a heartbeat. Luke sighs.
This is a fantastic way to start this working relationship.
“That’s convenient,” I say, ice dripping from every damn word. “I’m not here to pitch a project to you, Mr. O’Callaghan. I know who you are, but it’s not terribly important to me. I do fine all on my own. Have a good night, gentlemen.”
I give a curt nod and turn away, my heels clicking on the hardwood floor as I make a hasty retreat.
I want to get out of here.
The audacity! What a jerk. I was already nervous about being here. Now, I get the disappointment of knowing I have to work with a conceited ass who’s clearly completely full of himself.
“Lexi.”
I don’t turn around.
“Lexi.”
A hand lightly latches on to my elbow, and I turn to find Shawn staring down at me, his mouth set in a grim line.
“I owe you an apology. I didn’t know you were Nora, the author I’ll be working with over the next few weeks.”
“If you’d known, you would have been polite?”
He winces. “Again, I apologize. It’s been a shit day, and I was trying to avoid work talk. Not my finest moment.”
“No.” I glance down at the elbow he’s still holding hostage. He lets go. “It wasn’t. Have a good evening, Mr. O’Callaghan. I’ll see you on Monday.”
“Lexi—”
But I don’t turn back. I know I’ll have cooled down by the time I see Shawn again. I won’t be embarrassed. My feet won’t be killing me.
For now, I want to hide.
I’m so far out of my comfort zone, I couldn’t find it with a map.
Review:
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Imagine With Me is the 15th installment in the With Me in Seattle series by Kristen Proby. We met Shawn O’Callaghan and Lexi Perry during the epilogue of the previous book (You Belong With Me, which I loved), but their first meeting is a part of this book for those who haven't read YBWM.
There is one thing that really frustrates me and that's when the separation is longer than the time the main characters spent together. Add the miscommunication and you have a very frustrated Sofia who has a mostly negative impression of this book. I have read 13 of the 15 published books and this is the lowest I have rated a book in the series since Under the Mistletoe with Me which was a novella listed as book 1.5. The most frustrating part was having Lexi grow and develop as a character offscreen. She did so many things that would make anyone proud and we didn't see even one little thing. And I hated that. She didn't even have Shawn cheering from the sidelines as he should have been since he was the one who helped her become the person she is by the end of the book. He helped her become confident and to believe in herself which was something she didn't know she needed. They spent months apart because of a silly miscommunication. The book was ruined for me because of it which is a shame because up to that point I was loving what I was reading and I was looking at one of my best reads of 2020. Now it's going on the bad list. For some reason, I feel like I was let down and I cannot get over it.
The O’Callaghan siblings that are still single were intriguing and I can not wait to read their stories. One of the good parts of the book is the presence of the O’Callaghan family. They brought an energy to the story that made me want to read more and more about them. Keegan is next and I am very excited about his story!
