Ahhh… I can’t believe the last Fusion is here! Talk about bittersweet!
That’s right, Mia’s story is finally here and Savor You was the perfect cherry on top of this extraordinary series.
After that explosive revelation at the end of The Beauty of Us, all Kristen Proby fans, like yours truly, have been counting down the days to the release of Mia and Camden’s story, because hot damn, the past of these two is to important, to stay in the past, and when Camden is brought to Mia’s life, all of those memories come rushing back. And what memories they are…
I cannot work next to this man every day. I’ll climb him like a damn tree after the first day.
I thought I was over her. Hell, I am over her. But not even two minutes after seeing her again I wanted to strip her naked and fuck her senseless.
With Camden now in her every day life, it’s impossible for them to resist the incredible attraction they once let loose and when things when they separated, they tried to deny. The chemistry between them truly is sizzling and it’s undeniable.
“Whether you believe me or not, I think you’re the sexiest woman I’ve ever met.”
“Okay.”
“And I’m going to kiss you.”
Mia, the workaholic chef, and big responsible for the huge success that is the girl’s Seduction, has tried to move on with her life even though that event in the past left its mark. Even though she’s secure in herself, specially as a professional, and her image. 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. 😉
And suddenly, this super-hot guy wanted me.” I turn and stare at Cami, just as confused now as I was then. “Why did he do that?”
“Because he was hot for you,” Landon says. “Because he’s not an asshole and knows that women come in all shapes and sizes, and you’re an amazing girl.”
Camden was such a fantastic and swoon worthy hero! Truly the whole package: drop dread handsome, absolutely enchanted by Mia, and so sweet and caring that it was impossible for her to resist. The celebrity chef, had tried to move on from the heartbreak, ten years prior, but just being in Mia’s presence we could see all his feelings for her coming back to surface. I adored that he didn’t try to fight it, and made everything in his power to show Mia, that he was ready to win her back again, holding nothing back, and not allowing their past to stop them to have it all. The only down point in my eyes, was my dreaded ‘have always loved you, never stopped loving’ statement, that I really could go without, and everyone that follows me knows I dislike when it’s clear they moved on, so that statement becomes mute in my eyes, lol. 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. Maybe you both needed to grow up and experience some life so you’d appreciate each other even more when you finally found each other again.”
Kristen Proby really has a gift of creating the most emotional and realistic love stories and Camden and Mia’s Savor You is exactly that, an emotional journey that shows us the importance of communication, personal growth and timing. These characters makes us see things with different eyes, and reevaluate certain aspects of our every day lives, that’s how powerful Ms. Proby’s words touch us and make us think and feel. Their story touched my heart and I was so rooting for these two to get their much deserved HEA. I adored the full circle aspect of their story, and I couldn’t have asked for a better ending. A second chance at love and life in every way… <3
I do love Mia. Fiercely. I want to claim her, to be with her for as long as I live. My life just isn’t the same when she isn’t in it.
I think that we were always supposed to be a family, the timing just wasn’t right yet. But here you are, and I just couldn’t love you any more than I do.”
I’m so so sad to see this brilliant series go. What an amazing series of empowered women! Fusion was the perfect example of Kristen Proby absolutely gifted and epic writing. These five ladies are a group I won’t soon forget, better yet, never! 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. That epilogue was the PERFECT wrap up for all the Fusion girls! 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!
“But at the end of the day,” Kat reminds us, “not only do we have a successful business, but we’ve managed to stay friends, too. And that’s rare, you guys. I love you. Each of you. That’s more important that the restaurants, the money, any of it.”
“Of course,” I add as the others nod. “As long as we have each other, there’s not anything we can’t do.”

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.
During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.
Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.
Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.
