The Beauty of Us (Fusion) by Kristen Proby  
Sisterhood and seduction = Friendly, Flirty, FunWhat makes the Fusion series so enchanting is that despite the tempting love connections, Ms. Proby shows how strong the bonds of friendship are. Riley, Kat, Addison and Mia have not only built a business, they've created a family. Through all of the broken hearts, the hookups and settling down, love between these friends is the glue that makes it all worthwhile. Everything else is just the icing on the cake. The Beauty of Us puts Riley is in the hot seat. Her quest for Mr. Right lands her in some sticky situations. Will she every find the perfect guy? Trevor is sweet, sexy and full of surprises. When business and romance collide will he risk it all for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Kristen Proby proves that she can seduce any heart with this hard to resist series. Will be sad to see it end.

My favorite of the series! It have great character development and you fell in love with the characters straight away.

Who doesn't love a nerdy hero!? Riley and Trevor have such wonderful chemistry and banter in this sweet and sexy story. It's kind of a workplace romance because Trevor is there filming a show at Riley's restaurant. They almost try to fight their connection but their young friendship turns to more very quickly.
They way Trevor treated Riley was so amazing. He was kind, attentive and supportive. Which made it so much worse near the end of the book when he seems to do a 180. Ib think everyone has been Rileyvat some point. She's strong and successful with wonderful friends but wants to find love and a partner so much. I adore her Nana with everything I have. And I can't wait to read Mia's book.

DID NOT FINISH: 9%

the heroine brags about having a concealed carry license and a gun in her purse.

This chick needed a little chill.   Her reaction to his inability to drop everything and call her immediately was a bit much.  It’s great to ask for what you need but being reasonable is necessary to all relationships.

Another great addition to the Fusion Series. Riley works so hard. She has earned a HEA in her life. Of course if it had been easily won she wouldn't have wanted it. Trevor was definitely worth he wait--Hubba Hubba Hubba!!!!

He enters her life as the producer filming the restaurant for the TV show. He is only there for a few weeks before heading back to L.A. Let's just say long distance romances definitely add a lot of drama to the book. So does Trevor's past. You gotta read this to see what Riley does!!

I enjoyed this book in the series quite a lot, it seemed a little more realistic.

I have loved this series since the very beginning and with each new book that is released, Kristen Proby just makes me fall in love with her writing all over again. The Fusion series is definitely at the top of my favorites list, and I swear each book is as good as the last if not better. The Beauty of Us was no exception, and I cannot recommend these books enough.

Riley knows that having the restaurant she co-owns with her best friends on a TV show could be great for business, but also disruptive to their lives. While she has mixed feelings, the girls of Seduction ultimately agree to go ahead with the show. But when the show's producer Trevor shows up, she never expects the intense attraction between them. The more time they spend together, the stronger their connection grows. But what happens when filming is over, and it is time for Trevor to leave?

I loved these two. The chemistry between them was there right from the start. It was so real and I felt like these two were just perfect for one another. The more they got to know one another though, the more the just fit. Trevor was super sweet, and I loved how into Riley he was. He was romantic and had me swooning right along with Riley. Riley was just as easy to like, being strong and smart and the kind of girl you would want to hang out with in real life.

Overall, this book was another fantastic addition to the Fusion series. I can't get enough of this world and the characters that Kristen Proby has created! The ladies of Seduction and their men are such a great group and the camaraderie between them is special and engages the reader each and every time. I love how tight this group of characters are and that they truly have each other's backs and do everything together. If you are looking for a great romance series with characters that are fun and lovable, this series is a must read!

It has been a little while since I have read a romance. This book is just what I needed. The chemistry between Riley and Trevor was so hot that you will need a cool glass of water afterwards. As an added bonus this book is guaranteed to provide you laughs as well.

They always talk about first impressions and Riley sure made one heck of a first impression on Trevor. He learns that she has horrible luck with men but the worst offense is that Riley does not know the difference between star Trek and Star Wars. She even went as far as to mix of references to the two into one. Luckily for Trevor, who is a geek, he forgives Riley. The Beauty of Us is the perfect summer romance read that is sure to bring the laughs and heat!
