3.92 AVERAGE


I really enjoyed this installment of the series. Riley and Trevor's meet was so perfect. Complaining about boys to her best friends and business partners, he defends the "good" guys and right from the start you can sense the attraction. And..they are set to work together. All the girls of Seduction are smart, sassy, know what they want and have girls behind them that won't allow for less than they deserve. Part of the allure of this series is the friendships between these girls. You get bits and pieces of which girl might come next. The end of this one had me screaming for the next one NOW!

Trevor and Riley were perfect for each other and their chemistry was off the charts. The angst that was thrown in for good measure also hit right for me. I love a jealous girl. lol. There is something wrong with me, I know. Can't wait for more of this series.

Sweet, lovable story. These ladies rock and the men who come in to their lives just add to that awesomeness.

4.5 True Love CROWNS

This is hands down my favorite Fusion series book. The chemistry and the relationship - just everything - is fantastic.

These characters are so wonderful together and apart. Trevor is a fantastic hero. I loved him from the very first moment I met him. He is charming and witty, and his interactions with the girls is great. I also love that he is attentive and loving with Riley, and he accepts her for who she is. Riley is my favorite heroine of the group. She is sassy and smart, and she is not scared to put people in their place. Every single time she stands up for herself and their relationship, I just fell more and more under her spell. These two together, though, are something special. The way interact and are attentive with each other is magical. With each page, I became infatuated with their love.

The Fusion series has been such a delightful set of stories. They are light and fun with low conflict and angst, but this one is my absolute favorite. Like the other books in the series, it is also low on the conflict and drama, but there is enough to keep reader interest. Readers are also going to like the heroine's reaction to the conflict as well as the hero's resolution to the conflict, and Kristen Proby delivers another wonderful conclusion that not only wraps up the story but also leaves readers excited for the next book in the series.

If you are looking for a light book with a host of fantastic heroines and good hearted heroes, this is the series for you. With each book, readers get romance and steam with a low-angst story, making the perfect relaxing, low-stress read.

4.5 Sweet and Swoon Worthy Stars!!

“Are your knees feeling weak?” “They always feel weak when I’m with you.”

“When you smile at me, it’s like a light has been turned on in a dark room.” “I’d do anything for that smile.”

From sassy and strong women to swoon worthy alpha males, The Beauty of Us is amazing story.

Told from dual points of view, The Beauty of Us follows the story of Trevor and Riley. Riley couldn’t be more thrilled over the possiblity of Seduction being featured on TV. It will be hard work and will turn everyone’s life upside down, but she just can’t turn down the opportunity of a lifetime. What she didn’t plan on was Trevor. Riley had just decided to swear off men, when Trevor appeared and turned her world upside down. Men like him are few and far between and even though Trevor is only in town for a short while, Riley can’t stay away….When Trevor originally lands in Portland, he had every intention on just keeping things all about business…that was until he met Riley. He knew he should stay away, but can’t fight the pull he feels towards her….

The Beauty of Us is a fabulous addition to the Fusion Series. I thought this book was incredibly well written and loved the story-line. The characters were fun and easy to connect with. I loved Riley as a lead. On the outside, she is strong and independent with a sassy mouth to boot. But, on the inside, she wants what every woman wants. She want to be loved and cherished and taken care of. The problem is all the men in Portland are a disgrace. But, Trevor was about to prove that there are still some good men out there. Trevor is thoughtful and pays attention. He’s hardworking and determined. And in the bedroom, he is a total alpha. He is the perfect mix of sweet and seduction. Sure, Trevor is not perfect. In fact, he had a few moments where I wanted to slap him silly, but I liked the fact that he wasn’t 100% perfect. It just drew me to him even more. The connection these two shared was just beautiful and I couldn’t get enough of Trevor’s devotion and affection for Riley. Together, these two make a scorching hot pair with chemistry that demands to be explored.

The Beauty of Us was a terrific read from beginning to end. I fell in love with the characters and the story from the very first page and could not stop myself from devouring Trevor and Riley’s story. It was sweet, sinful and downright swoon worthy. The Beauty of Us had just the right amount of friendship, drama, steam and romance. A very enjoyable read that leaves you begging for more.

This one was enjoyable ! I didn't connect with Riley as much :(

A wonderful addition to this series! I LOVED Trevor for Riley. He seriously had me swooning, even as I wanted to knock some sense into him at times. Then again, Riley needed some common sense shaken in to her at times as well. No wonder they're so perfect for each other!

3.5 The Beauty of Us Stars

Hmm, I realllly wanted to like this book as much as the others in this series.

But it just fell flat for me, I didn’t hate it just didn’t LOVVVVE it. I like Riley, but she seems a little needed in this book.

And there was dramalama ack you all know how much I hate drama for drama’s sake.
Two things I don’t like about Trevor, One I thought he was an alcoholic for 10 year.. Yet he was drinking beer and something else on other night.. That was confusing.
Second, he has this all important job and he doesn’t get a new cell when his gets messed up.

So other than those I liked the story. I liked that at the beginning of the book they were very adult and there wasn’t any drama. They were open and honest. I love the connection the girls all have with one another. I think that makes these books so awesome.

I just wished Riley’s book didn’t have the holes and the drama because I quiet liked her in the previous books.

Now I love me some SebYo <3 soooo yummy. But Abby Craden it’s a sometimes I like and sometimes I don’t, this time it was a like  So yeah!

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Flat and disorganized all at the same time. Characterization was all over the place, especially for the leads, and two plot points kind of went nowhere.

Riley is fed up! She's exhausted by the trolls she's met in the online dating world. She has high standards, but believes she deserves to find a man who will rise to her expectations. It is refreshing to read a heroine who is confident in herself and her abilities. She doesn't need a man to complete her or make her feel whole. Riley wants a partner in life; she's just not sure where to find him.

Lucky for her, Trevor walks into her life when she never expected him. He shows up at Seduction to film a new show centered around the women and their restaurant. There is an instant attraction between Trevor and Riley. He makes it his mission to prove that there are good men in the world and to show Riley just how she deserves to be treated.

The Beauty of Us is a story about strong characters who know what they want and deserve and rejoice when they find it. It's a thoroughly enjoyable read and one that contemporary romance readers will fall in love with. This is a great continuation in the Fusion Series, but each book can be read and enjoyed as a standalone. This series should definitely be on your TBR if you love strong and successful characters, a little steam and several HEA's! And, Sebastian York narrates the audio, so you know it's aural magic! Audiobook is a GREAT way to enjoy this series!

I've enjoyed every book in Kristen Proby's Fusion series so very much. With each new book, I get a little more of these characters I've come to enjoy and respect and the friendships I just love. The Beauty in Us was a fun and sexy read and a great addition to the series.

I liked Riley and Trevor and their story so much! They had great chemistry and with that came fantastic banter. It was wonderful to watch them grow from strangers to friends to more. The pace of their relationship just felt right, plus it gave me time to learn more about both of them separately before really shipping them as a couple. Add to that the prominence of some of my favorite characters from earlier in the series and I was one happy reader. This book was sexy, swoony and funny, with plenty of feels. 

I can't wait for the next book in the Fusion series. I neeeeed Mia's story.
