I Mostly listened to the audiobook. Duel POVs and both male and female narrators- always a plus. There was a bit of a "you're perfect just as you are" message in there. But it's not overdone. Camden was very laidback And he was a romantic, sweetheart with just a tiny bit of alpha thrown in. Mia was kind of high strung at times, and a bit abrasive but she was cool.

She was passionate about things. I liked them both. I'm happy for them. KP has my number with this style story she writes. Nice wrap up for the series and I'm looking forward to what she has coming next! There are recipes at the end of the book!

That you have to be hot so you can make calendars and bring in a bunch of money in calendar sales? I can see what all the fuss was about. But I was horrified to realize I have lived this long without ever indulging in the hedonistic delight of reading Favorite Quotes: But I was horrified to realize I have lived this long without ever indulging in the hedonistic delight of reading a Kristen Proby book.

But I have rectified that error in judgment and am thrilled to report the experience was everything I imagined it would be and more. Her writing was a fun, cleverly amusing, and tasty treat. The storylines were entertaining, well-paced, and a pleasure to engage in. I adored her quirky yet relatable characters and enjoyed their clever banter and wit as much as the sweet and sexy second chance romance.

But the delectable descriptions of the food had me salivating and smacking my lips as I read. I may have picked up a pound or ten from her delicious words alone.

But not even two minutes after seeing her again I wanted to strip her naked and fuck her senseless. She is a curvy, sexy and successful renown chef, and she owns it.

But at times she reveals a hidden fragility, where comments about her curvy figure affect her, like they would hurt deep down, anyone who is criticized, and I just adored that with Camden, even in the past, she had no doubts that he adored her for who she was, every part of her, he showed her every time they were together.

It was even hard for her to let that fully sink in. A lifetime of mean comments and bullies, did that to her, but fortunately she had Camden and all gang to prove her otherwise. Even her brother, Landon, made an amazing point on the subject, lol. Truly the whole package: Apart from those statements, their love and devotion in the story was palpable, beyond heartfelt, and I love how they realized that timing really was everything.

Maybe the time is right now. Their story touched my heart and I was so rooting for these two to get their much deserved HEA.

I want to claim her, to be with her for as long as I live. What an amazing series of empowered women! Fusion was the perfect example of Kristen Proby absolutely gifted and epic writing. Savor You gave such an amazing closure for all of them and their loved ones, that left me teary eyed with all the beauty and happiness they ended up as their HEA. And even more on the bright side, with Ms. Proby announcing her Manhattan series, we have something new to look forward to.

A perfect goodbye for an epic series, a true golden — or better yet, diamond — key closure!

Also the love scenes are extremely hot and enjoyable, with the right amount of sexiness to keep things interesting. Some drama by the end of the book, as in all of them, but what can I say? I am a sucher for romance: Apr 12, Michelle rated it it was amazing Shelves: I luv this series!! Yes finally it's feisty Mia's turn. I 've been looking forward to getting to know Mia since this series started.

As the series has grown we have gotten to know her more she is sassy feisty stubborn passionate and needs things done her way. She is a brilliant character. Mia keeps the rest of the girls in there toes. But this book you get to see who Mia really is and what happened with Camden. The ex she was goin to start working with and that she had history with. Memories are I luv this series!! Memories are getting to dug up from her past and she has to explain it all to her 4 best friends as well. To make things worse Camden still looks amazing and her feels for him were just has strong has they were years ago if stronger now.

Camden is such a great guy. He mite even be my favourite man in this series. Which is hard cause these men are all so good. But these woman need good men there so strong and protective of each other and really kick butt in the restaurant world. I really do luv strong woman there isn't one of them that I don't like. But back to Camden. I really liked the way that Camden dealt with seeing Mia again after his things were left between. He needed answers and he was goin to get them. He isn't a pushy guy but he isn't a walk over either. He knew Mia needed space so he let her have it even though he really wanted to know why thing went a lil crazy between them.

I really enjoyed this book. Finally seeing Mia start to relax and let people help was so good I never thought that she could do. I love how Camden just worked his way back into her life. He knew that he wanted another shot so your was taking what was taken from him and that was Mia. Sometime Mia is her own worst enemy her confidence is strong and being a chief is what she knows and loves it's what's give her the lil confidence she has. But Camden helped build that up for her he is Mr Prefect.

The way he treats her and understands her is so good. I thought there story was great Mia deserves a good man to look after her. I would highly recommend this book and series, basically anything from this author. I luv her books. I've read everyone of her books and luvd all of them. Her books just keep getting better and better. I'm gutted this series is over its one of my favourites. I love the girl power in this series. The 5 woman are so good at what they do at Seduction. I really like how strong and different all the woman are. It made me love this series more.

I couldn't put the books down once I started them and this book was no different. I really enjoyed it. May 06, Alissa rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed this series! Loved the close friendships between all of the women and how much they cared and supported each other through their love lives, their professional goals and all other things. This was a sweet 2nd chance at love story.

Mia definitely f-ed it up when they were young, but it was nice to see her own it and work to fix it. I appreciated how hard-working she was, how passionate she was, and how she was aware of and owned her issues. I hated that she was so insecure at tim I really enjoyed this series! I hated that she was so insecure at times, but I also understood it, and there couldn't have been a better guy to support and love her unconditionally than Camden. I think he really stole the show in this book - what a great guy.

He was very supportive, a great listener, very intuitive, and just accepted Mia - flaws and all she could be closed-off, overly sensitive, easy to rile up, etc. I really loved how hard he worked to be a great partner to Mia and not change her. He was also sexy AF, as were their naked times. I'll definitely be reading it!

Mar 24, Stacee rated it liked it Shelves: I really liked Mia and Camden. I really liked that they were both chefs and had that outlet in common. Plot wise it nearly all fluff. There are a few bits of conflict, but this couple communicates and does it well. Overall it was a quick and cute read filled with characters who really loved and supported each other. I just might go back and check out the previous books in the series. Jul 25, Megha Patel rated it liked it. This was a very sweet, cute, fluffy read. Mia and Camden have history together and we see the chemistry as soon as they are in the same room.

Their romance was really sweet and adorable. Camden is a hopeless romantic and Mia is more on the tougher side but they made it work together so well. Overall, I was pretty content with this read. Such an exciting favourite romance I have ever enjoyed. Mia Palazzo, is the amazing and wonderful chef. I loved this next amazing book so much. So hard to even put down! Mia is staring at herself in the mirror at her business, Seduction.

She is practicing her first speech to Camden about finding out about her false positive pregnancy. As Mia continues she is freaking out constantly. She starts talking about absolutely anything she could think about. He was someone from her past while she was studying as a Chef. Plus she married him too. Until quickly her friend Riley interrupts her telling her she is practicing her speech to Camden.

He was well known now too. The star of his own cooking show as well. Now Mia will be competing against Camden in her own kitchen too. She basically had to get ready. As she was seeing him at the restaurant soon and show him her own kitchen. Mia is so completely nervous to see Camden once again. She is proud of their restaurant. It is absolutely gorgeous. When she enters the restaurant and she sees Camden. Seeing all my close friends who work here at Seduction makes me feel a lot better.

Such a wonderful, most passionate tale. I thoroughly loved this marvellous book. So full of love, laughter and romance. I adored this most enjoyable book just so much. This was a pleasure to read I loved Mia and Camden together. I always wondered who would be the guy to tame Mia as she has always come across as a hot tempered chef who had many mood swings in previous books in this series.

I liked Mia she is a perfectionist and she expects the same from her staff hence her temper tantrums. She is honest, loyal and caring and I felt for her how everyone except her girl posse and Camden says she is overweight, you are what you are. After the bombshell Mia dropped at the end of Beauty For Us I was expecting Camden to be mean n moody with a grudge against Mia but what I got was a sweet, sensitive great guy who was going to get the girl that got away and make her his.

Mia and Camden are so sweet together they just take it day by day getting to know each other again. I loved all the flirty banter, the sex is scorching and the cooking made me hungry lol, these two just clicked for me a perfect couple. This story was perfection for me everything came together perfectly and I loved catching up with the four other couples from the Fusion series and finding out about all the babies they all had, a wonderful epilogue to finish a wonderful series.

Apr 19, Irene rated it really liked it Shelves: Mar 01, Kim rated it really liked it Shelves: Mia is the the chef at Fusion, and she is a bit bossy, controlling, and a perfectionist. She can also be sweet, funny, and has a big heart. She has seen her best friends and her brother now find love, but she is guarded, and has trust and self worth issues.

Camden is a celebrity chef who is now coming to Fusion to film a TV show with Mia He is successful, wealthy, and has had great opportunities over the years. He also tends to be a work-a-holic and has focused on his career. But he still has unresolved feelings about their past. But he is still charming, sexy, thoughtful, and protective. He flirts and looks at her like she is beautiful. And their reconnection might just be what they both need. They have a great rapport, work well in the kitchen together, and have hot chemistry. They are two career oriented people finding out that maybe they could use a bit more balance and fun in their lives.

But they also have to deal with their past, personal issues, and face some challenges in order to figure out if there can be a future for them this time. Camden is such a good match for the feisty Mia. Even though he also likes control, he comes off as more laid back and relaxed than she is. And he encourages her to have her own life outside the restaurant and gives her a reason to want to. Scott hits it all in her newest book Only a Millionaire.

Apr 27, Lora Borzelleca rated it really liked it. Good read, I thought the "secret" Brooke had was a little blah and kinda not as believable. To move away, sure But to change your name just because the press was hounding you, I mean, it was something horrible that happened but I don't think they would follow you miles just to get an interview. I think moving temporarily would be enough, changing your name and lying about who you are is a bit much.

Now, I just need more books within the family, I like reading about them: Dec 12, Justine Schauer Book Catharsis rated it really liked it.

No way is Brooke leaving without a fight. It seems we have more Sinclairs to get to know!!! Jun 04, Judyrudy rated it liked it Shelves: First of all it was quite short in comparison to the other books in the series. I almost felt like it was written in a hurry. Flash backs to her mystery throughout the book would have made for a much more interesting read. I feel this detracts from the overall tone of the book taking the reader into a totally different point of view.

I am sad to see this series end but look forward to Ms. This is my honest opinion. This book was the perfect ending of the other books that I read before this. Mind you I read the others abut 2 months ago and had to remind myself of what they were all about. The other 6 books were about some down to earth billionaires that lived in Maine. They are married to some very common ladies that lived in Maine and one of them that came to help one of the brothers to heal.

Liam found out that Brooke was there because she seen all her co- workers get killed at the Bank she worked as a Financial analyst and the only reason why she survived is because the robber heard the police siren coming and he needed to get out of the building.

I have to say this story was interesting but not as good as the rest of the stories. It still felt like it would have been a stand alone book and started when Brooke first came to Maine.
