Slick's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 Every time I think about Listen To Me, I smile because this book made me so happy; it touched me as well, but honestly it was just pure joy and this is my favorite Kristen Proby book to date. A ex-rock star hero and a heroine who has sworn off bad boy musicians made this pair interesting and entertaining, but the heroine's relationship with her four best friends...that my friends was priceless and I loved every minute of it. 
 Addison's dream came true when she and her four best friends opened up Seduction, a restaurant in Portland dedicated to all things seductive. While her professional life is going well, her personal life well...that's another story. Looking for a musician to entertain diners on the weekends no one is more surprised than she when Jake Keller aka Jake Knox, lead singer of the now defunct Hard Knox, walks in the restaurant to apply for the job. 
 From the first time they make contact the connection between them is quite explosive, but what made me love these two is there verbal sparring and Jake's sarcastic and witty come ons make me smile every time. They both have some baggage and at times their insecurities rise up and cause some issues but for the most part; they talk, they deal and they figure it out even when some heavy duty groveling is involved. While there was some drama between them it came from a real place and in the end they dealt with their issues like grown-ups which is something I sincerely appreciated. 
 While this was a romance between Addison and Jake, it would be neglectful of me to not mention Addison's best friends; Cami, Mia, Kat, and Riley along with their hair dresser, Cici. Not only was it fantastic to see a group of women who support each other fully and completely, but the fact that they stepped in to help see these two together was a testament to not only how well they knew Addison but how much they believed in what she and Jake had together. Jake was not without some great friends as well, Christina his best friend since high school and her husband Kevin plus his ex-band mate and now business partner Max and his significant other, Tiffany add great insight and give Jake the push he needs at times to get over himself. These people, their friendships were the whipped cream on top of the tastiest milk shake out there! 
 I have always enjoyed author Kristen Proby's writing but in my opinion Listen To Me is on a different level than anything else she's written. Maybe it was the characters, maybe it was the friendships, maybe it was the witty, snarky, sweet and sassy dialog, maybe it was a well told love story or maybe it was just all of these things together that made this one outstanding and memorable romance.
