Nothing Without You (Kristen Proby Crossover Collection)

I want more!!! I didn’t get enough of Maisey and Tucker.Nothing Without You is a novella in Kristen Proby’s Crossover Collection. But it is also a part of Monica’s Forever Yours Series. I thought this was a perfect gem for Kristen’s collection of stories. I loved being back in Cunningham Falls.This novella is a second chance romance that is told in Dual POV. It is a standalone for each of these series. You don’t have to read any of Kristen’s Big Sky Series to enjoy this story. Also you don’t have to have read Monica’s Forever Yours series. You will want to go back and read about the rest of the characters once you have met Tucker and Maisey, that’s for sure!!!My only negative was that it was too short. I know that is what a novella is, but I wanted more of Tucker and Maisey’s story. I wish this was a full length novel. But that doesn’t take away from the enjoyment I had while reading this book.In this book we follow the reunion of Maisey and Tucker. High School sweethearts, but when Tucker gets accepted to his favorite college, he decides to break things off with Maisey. Maisey was devastated but picked herself up and is now the owner of Cake Nation in Cunningham Falls. Tucker has come home to Cunningham Falls for a family celebration, but wasn’t expecting the rush of feelings that came over him when he “bumped” into Maisey, quite literally. Can these two get on the same page and forget about past hurts?? Will they find a way back to each other?? Read this to find out.I was so glad Maisey got her own story. I loved her character when we met her in Tempting Brooke, but I do feel that her and Tucker’s story was kind of left unfinished. This novella ended with a HFN ending. I am hoping somewhere down the line we might get to see this couple again and see them get their full HEA!!I loved seeing Brooke again and getting to know Tucker’s family in this story.I would recommend this romance to anyone who likes a second chance romance. If you have some time on your hands and are looking for that sweet, sexy and low drama romance story, this is it!! Pick it up, you won’t be sorry!!!

Maisey and Tucker find themselves with a second chance at happiness together. He is home for his mother's birthday and his parent's 40th wedding anniversary. They literally bump into each other in the grocery store and Tucker finds out that Maisey has still not forgiven him for breaking up with her when he was 18. At 34, Tucker is a professional NFL receiver and is just coming into his own in his professional career. He knows he has lacked a personal life, but it all becomes crystal clear when he sees Maisey again. She is his missing piece and he just has to figure out how to get her to let him back in. Maisey was definitely reluctant in the beginning and I couldn't blame her for it. He did break her heart and didn't appear to look back from it for 15 years. Because this is a novella, their story moved lightning quick at points but I felt it did both of them justice in the end. I was okay with the HFN but am hoping their story gets more wrapped up in the future.

3.5 starsMaisey and Tucker were inseparable as high school sweethearts but Tucker broke her heart when he broke things off to pursue his dreams of playing pro football. Years later, Maisey has a successful business in Cunningham Falls and Tucker has achieved his dream as part of a California NFL team. When he returns home for a family event, things get interesting.Maisey never really got over him and she holds a bit of a grudge for the way he abandoned her. Tucker doesn't expect to be affected by the animosity she displays but he isn't going to walk away again without making things right.Nothing Without You is a sweet second chance romance but I have to admit it didn't really grab me the way some of the other stories in the collection did.

OMG I loved this story line between Masie and Tucker and how they got together him a pro football player and she a wedding cake baker and back in the day they were together but he broke up with her because he went to college and got drafted into the NFL and he came back to celebrate his mom’s birthday and his parents anniversary and he asked her to make the cake and she did and they got back together and in the end he asked her to marry him Thanks for an amazing book and Monica is an amazing author

I love Cunningham Falls, Montana, and any opportunity I get to visit it (albeit in books) I jump in! So seeing Maisey get her own story, I was thrilled!Maisey and Tucker had been high school sweethearts, but college and careers separated them. Years later, Maisey has successfully started Cake Nation, while Tucker has made it in the NFL. He comes back for a visit and their chemistry is still there. But distance is still an issue for them.I have read a few of Monica Murphy's books before, and I very much enjoyed Nothing Without You. I wish there had been more, but for a novella, this was a complete story. The writing was done well, and the characters felt real. I look forward to more!

Nothing Without you was amazing! Funny and sweet you won't want to put it down.Maisey owns Cake Nation in Cunningham Falls, it's right next door to her sisters flower shop.Tucker McCloud left Cunningham Falls after graduation on a full scholarship to Texas A&M. Now he plays for the San Francisco 49ers. He is back home for his mom's birthday and his parents 40th anniversary.Tucker and Maisey were high school sweethearts, he broke up with her right before graduation, left town and never came back. Now that he is home and has become reacquainted with the one woman he loves he is willing to do anything it takes to make it work.

Nothing Without You is a fantastic second chance romance. I love how Monica Murphy merged her world in the NFL with Kristen Proby's. She did a fantastic job painting the picture of childhood sweethearts brought back together. I love Maisey and Tucker. You feel the both the love and pain they both experienced as young love as they reconnect. This was such a beautiful story and the ending stole my heart. I couldn't put this one down. It may have been a quick read but it was so filled with healing and heart.

Love the story
