RELEASE DAY REVIEW + GIVEAWAY ~Blush for Me by Kristen Proby~

Title: Blush for Me
Author: Kristen Proby
Series: Fusion #3
Release Date: March 7, 2017
New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby continues to delight the senses with the latest novel in her delectable Fusion series.

As the take-charge wine bar manager of Seduction, Portland's hottest new restaurant, Katrina Meyers is the definition of no-nonsense, and she isn't afraid of anything. Well, almost anything: she hates to fly. When she's forced to travel on a death trap with wings, the turbulence from hell has her reaching for any safe haven—including the incredibly handsome guy sitting next to her.

Ryan "Mac" MacKenzie hasn't been able to get his sexy seatmate out of his head. The way she clung to him stirred something inside him he didn't think existed: tenderness. As the owner of a successful wine touring company, Mac thinks he's got a handle on what life can throw at him and he's not prepared for any surprises, especially in the feelings department. And when he brings a tour into Seduction, he sees the petite spitfire he just can't forget.

Mac is determined to discover what else they have in common besides fine wine and the inability to keep their hands off each other. But what will it take for two stubborn people to realize that what they have is so much more than a hot chemistry between the sheets and to admit to falling in love…?
Damn Kristen Proby and her deliciously sexy men, quirky strong women, and scintillating stories. Well, I guess I really shouldn't be cursing her, she's delivered yet another freaking winner. Her Fusion series, is quickly becoming my favorite and that's saying something after her With Me in Seattle series. Blush for Me started off a little quicker and sexier than the other two books in the series. Mac and Kat have such a palpable chemistry, it would be categorized as suffocating if I didn't wallow in it and love it so darn much.

Kat brings a witty liveliness to this book that really had me quite envious and and in love with her personality. Then there's Mac... Sigh... I would fight to the death to call dibs on this man. He's just the quintessential book boyfriend. I might even go as far as to escalate him to book husband. That's a big step for me. My commitment issues are screaming, but Kristen Proby has somehow created the man I'd be willing to take the plunge for. Too bad he's fictional, such is life. But these two together, steam up the pages, and just simply made me swoon SO. FREAKING. HARD. at every turn. The cavity I go from their sweetness was definitely worth it.

Overall, a true winner and must-read. Kristen Proby proves once again she can do no wrong, and deliver the epitome of swoon-worthy and devourable books again and again, with Blush for Me. If you don't read it, you have my sympathies and angry stares, you'd be missing out for sure. As for me, I'll be idling by with my one-click finger read for the next in this saucy, sexy and sassy series!

Happy Reading!

“Have you flown before, Kat?”

“No.” I swallow hard and tighten my hands into fists.

“Okay, take a deep breath,” he says. He’s not touching me, which is good because I’d have to break his nose, and this is already stressful enough. But his voice is soothing. “Good. Take another one. Miss, can we get a bottle of water, please?”

I just keep breathing. The flight attendant returns with a little baby bottle of water, which Mac uncaps and holds out for me.

“Take a drink of this. Just a small sip.” I comply, the cold water feeling good on my throat. I feel ridiculous. This flight is full of people who are not having panic attacks.

“I’m sorry,” I whisper. “This is my biggest fear.”

“I can tell,” he says gently, and I raise my gaze to meet his. He’s a handsome guy, his short hair styled nicely, his jaw firm, eyes direct. He’s tall, with long arms and legs and a lean body. “How are you feeling?

“Better,” I reply, surprised to find it true. “The water helped. Thank you.”

“No problem. Are you going to Napa Valley on vacation?”

“Work,” I reply, shaking my head. “I’m attending a conference.”

“So you’re a wine enthusiast then?”

“You could say that,” I reply with a smile. “I own a wine bar in Portland.”

His eyes narrow for just a moment. “Really? Which one?”

“The one inside Seduction.”
“I’ve heard great things about that place.”

I smile widely now, intensely proud of the restaurant that my four friends and I have built from the ground up. Seduction is our baby, our pride and joy.

“That’s nice to hear,” I reply. “You’ve never been?”

“Not yet, but I’ll make a point to go the next time I’m in the area.”

So he doesn’t live in Portland.

Bummer. Mac is one guy I wouldn’t mind running into again.
