DNF’d around 40%.

This book was utter shambles. I knew more about their sex lives than I did about their every day life. I can’t stand authors who don’t have the goods to produce a story without using sex as fillers.

great addition to the series. YAY!!!! Katrina finally got her story. She always comes across as the workaholic, forever single kind of girl. I knew it would take a special guy to knock her socks off.

Mac is just the guy for the job. He drooled over her while they flew to Napa for a weekend of wine tasting. She wanted a sexcation and goodbye. Uncomplicated was all she could handle.

And they Mac walks into her restaurant directing a wine tour of restaurants in the area. They are a love made in heaven, aged to perfection, and just plain fine. That is if they can get their act together.

Mac and Kat win for me !! I absolutely loved their initial meeting and the immediate fierce connection between them. I adored that they were always on the other’s side no matter what. Low drama!! It was a treat.

This installment of the series as a little less likeable for me, I'm not really sure why. It wasn't any more out there than a rock start taking weekend gigs at a restaurant, but I just found it hard to believe a guy would act that way towards a woman on a flight and not do the exact opposite.

I really enjoy this series and was excited to finally get around to Kat's story. I immediately fell for Mac and his caring, spoiling and sweet personality. I also enjoyed Kat and her sass. I really enjoyed catching up with our past couples and the rest of the characters in this series! That is what made the book for me - other than Mac's charming ways!

What I was not a big fan of - the petty drama (however, they were very quick to resolve their issues and it didn't linger on) and the big, dramatic scene at the end. In my mind, that was completely unnecessary and made me roll my eyes several times. It wasn't even really that believable for me. If that had been left out of the story - they could have easily just gone another route and bypassed that whole part of the book, but still wrapped up that storyline.

I also was not a fan of the female narrator - it was almost as if she was always trying to be seductive, but it doesn't really work that well. Also, a lot of the time she'd whisper things, which made the book very hard to hear, even with the volume up loud!

I am loving the Fusion series by Kristen Proby, but I have to admit that Blush For Me has been my favorite so far! This book was fantastic from start to finish, and I couldn't put it down! I found real life melting away I was so engrossed in this book, and I just loved these characters. Each book in this series is a standalone story, though they are all great books and I highly recommend reading them all! It was so good to see familiar faces here, but Kat and Mac had me right from the start and I just couldn't get enough of them.

Kat Meyers is the bar manager of Seduction, the hot new restaurant/bar she owns with her close friends. She has always been independent and isn't afraid of pretty much anything, except flying. So when she is forced to get on a plane for a business trip, she finds herself taking comfort in the hot guy in the seat next to her. As soon as the plane lands though, Kat can't wait to get off and leaves before speaking to Mac. So when he shows up at the same place she does, they hit it off and decide to turn their attraction into a sexy week that ends when they return home. But both of them find that they are unable to forget each other, and Mac is determined to convince Kat that they aren't done yet. But can two people who don't do relationships possibly find a way to have one with each other?

I absolutely loved these two. Mac was sexy and sweet, caring and thoughtful. I honestly just adored everything about him and he is definitely at the top of my all time favorite book boyfriends list. Mac was everything you could ever want in a man, and he was so great with Kat. He took a scary experience for her and turned it into something manageable, without ever making her feel bad about it. He was always so supportive of her, and I just loved him for it. I also loved that while he didn't do relationships and was clearly out of his comfort zone with the things he was feeling, he didn't run from it! He embraced it and knew that he had something special developing with Kat. Kat was so strong and independent, used to taking care of herself and she definitely didn't need a man. But I loved seeing her have the support and love from Mac for her to lean on. She was scared of what she was feeling as well as Mac, and it was refreshing to see her not fight it either. She knew that he was different and that what she was feeling was more, but she didn't freak out and push him away. It was just so great to see characters that were mature and acted like adults, and were able to face things that might be scary but that they knew were worth taking a chance on.

The chemistry between these two was off the charts and the sparks were flying from their very first meeting. But it was their connection that I really found special. I really just loved everything about this book and these characters, and I can't recommend it enough. Kat and Mac are characters that were clearly perfect for one another, and I loved how well they complimented one another. They were fun to read about, and I know that I will definitely be reading their book again in the future. While I have loved the previous couples in this series and look forward to learning more about the rest of their group of friends, Kat and Mac were just so genuine and easy to relate to that I felt so connected to them and their story. This is hands down my favorite Kristen Proby book to date, and I can't wait to read more from her in the future. This one is a must read!

As usual, Kristen Proby does it again! I'm not sure how it is that her books continue to impress me, but I have yet to find one that I did not love!

This is the 3rd book in the Fusion series, a series that follows 5 women who co-own Seductions, a restaurant in Portland, Oregon. Kat is in charge of the bar and is a wine sommelier for the restaurant and meets Mac on a plane on her way to a touring in Napa. Coincidentally, so is he. They embark on a sexcation while there, but find it difficult to not give in once they return home.

I love the reference (while inferred) about Ms. Proby's upcoming book, Easy Magic (from the Boudreaux series), as well! I had to chuckle at that.

I love this book and cannot wait for Mia's book and Riley's as well! A must-read!
