The Beauty of Us (Fusion #4) by Kristen Proby

New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby delivers another sizzling novel in her delectable and sexy Fusion series.

Riley Gibson is over the moon at the prospect of having her restaurant, Seduction, on the Best Bites TV network. This could be the big break she’s been waiting for. But the idea of having an in-house show on a regular basis is a whole other matter. Their lives would be turned upside down, and convincing Mia, her best friend and head chef of Seduction, that having cameras in her kitchen every day is a good idea is daunting. Still, Riley knows it’s an opportunity she can’t afford to pass on. And when she meets Trevor Cooper, the show’s executive producer, she’s stunned by their intense chemistry.

Trevor’s sole intention is to persuade Riley to allow Best Bites TV to do a show on her restaurant. But when he walks into Riley’s office, he stops dead in his tracks. The professional, aloof woman on the phone is incredibly beautiful and funny. But can he convince her that he’s interested in Riley for himself? Or is he using the undeniable pull between them to persuade her to agree to his offer?

3 out of 5 stars

This was a fun, light story with likable characters. There's a great mix of sweet and heat with some light drama mixed in. It was slightly predictable at times, but all in all, I had a good time reading it.

It started strong and I was enjoying the great dialogue and fun banter, I liked both Trevor and Riley. They had an instant attraction happening with good chemistry and I enjoyed them spending time together. Trevor was a total sweetheart and so thoughtful. I did like Riley but I felt a disconnect when it came to her, I was missing really getting to know her.

The second half was a bit slower for me and some things felt glossed over. It was good and I enjoyed it but nothing major was happening. It's pretty fast paced and not very in depth. Yes, it was a lighter read so I wasn’t expecting extremely deep and meaningful but I was excepting more than I got.

The bottom line is that it was a fun group of characters and it was entertaining to read. It left me smiling for sure and it was the perfect choice after reading something heavy.
