                             CLOSE TO YOU - cover

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes the second novel in her sizzling Fusion series.

Camilla, “Cami,” LaRue was five-years-old when she first fell in love with Landon Palazzo. Everyone told her the puppy love would fade—they clearly never met Landon. When he left after graduation without a backward glance, she was heartbroken. But Cami grew up, moved on, and became part-owner of wildly popular restaurant Seduction. She has everything she could want…or so she thinks.

After spending the last twelve years as a Navy fighter pilot, Landon returns to Portland to take over the family construction business. When he catches a glimpse of little Cami LaRue, he realizes she’s not so little any more. He always had a soft spot for his little sister’s best friend, but nothing is soft now when he’s around the gorgeous restauranteur.

Landon isn’t going to pass up the chance to make the girl-next-door his. She’s never been one for romance, but he’s just the one to change her mind. Will seduction be just the name of her restaurant or will Cami let him get close enough to fulfill all her fantasies?

EXCERPT

PROLOGUE

~Landon~

“Are you packed?” my sister, Mia, asks through the phone. Her voice is husky with sleep, which makes sense since it’s the middle of the night back home in Portland, Oregon.
“I leave tomorrow, Mia. Of course I’m not packed.” She snickers. I just finished up my last debriefing meeting, my last day as an officer in the Navy. I grip the zipper of my flight uniform and sigh. “It’s not right.”
“I know,” she says quietly. “But you’re safe and whole, and you could be dead, Landon, so I’ll take it.”
I frown, staring at myself in the mirror as I unzip my uniform for the last time. I’ll never wear it again, never pilot a plane again.
What the fuck am I supposed to do now? The Navy gave me options, but if I can’t fly, there’s no sense in it. Flying isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am.
“You’re overthinking,” Mia says.
“I’m a pilot, Mia. This is what I love. It wasn’t supposed to end like this.”
“You’re alive,” she says.
“Am I?” I murmur, then shake my head and wince at the neck pain that still nags me from time to time. Ejecting from an F- 16 will cause a crick in the neck. And a loss of an inch in height that may never return, along with an entire Naval career.
Son of a bitch.
“This has been the longest four months of our lives, Landon. We’re all anxious to see you.”
“I’ll be home in a few days,” I reply as I pull a T- shirt over my head and throw the last of my belongings in a box that the Navy will have sent to me from Italy.
I loved being in Italy for the past few years, and God knows I didn’t plan to leave it like this.
But I am. Maybe Mia’s right; at least I’m alive and I can walk and live a normal life.
I just can’t fly.
And that’s what hurts more than any injury from the crash.
“What time should I come get you from the airport?”
“No need,” I reply, regretting calling my sister and waking her up. I just didn’t know what else to do when I came in here and was faced with boxes and the end of a career I love. “I’ll get there.”
“Landon— ”
“It’s okay, really. I’ll see you in a few days.”
“Be safe,” she says. “And, Landon?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s going to be okay.”
I force a grin and a nod, though she can’t see either. “Of course it is.”
We say our good- byes and I sit on the edge of the bed, scrub my hands over my face, and take a deep breath. I hope she’s right.

REVIEW

Addie, Cami, Riley, Mia and Kat, five friends own the restaurant Seduction in Portland.
Addie found her happiness in Jake Knox arms. Now is the time for Cami to meet the love of her life, Landon Palazzo, a former Navy pilot.

After suffering an accident and leaving the Navy, Landon decides to return to Portland and works in his father's construction company.
Cami is the accountant at the restaurant.
As the partners decided to expand the restaurant by the huge success it is having, Cami and Landon see each other all the time. But there is something else in the air.
Cami doesn't know ... yet, but Landon always had a crush on her, the problem is that she was too young.
Willing to wait for she to grow, he enlists in the Navy, but when he leaves, Cami decides forget Landon marrying Brian. Marriage didn't work, but she and Brian are still friends.
Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Landon decides to invest in their relationship.
In Cami's mind there's a problem: Landon had spent ten years living away, knowing several places in the military bases where he served, what if he decided it was time to leave Portland again? How would be Cami's heart?

But while they were there, together, they want to make up for lost time and this can cause unplanned complications...

Landon and Cami make a lovely couple. They fell in love very young. Although Landon knew Cami liked him (she could never disguise), she never knew of his feelings for her. So it was hard for her to believe that he wouldn't leave anymore.
In addition to the couple's relationship, the author once again brings up the question of the power of friendship, in which the five friends always confide in each other, watch trash TV shows, meet at brunch and tell absolutely everything for each other. They are together in joy and sorrow, like a marriage.
There are funny scenes of meetings and conversations between them.
Landon is handsome (in and out), passionate and with a strong personality, the right man to support Cami in her freak out moments.

Loved the cover and can't wait to next story.
I think we'll drink a lot of wine on next... Cheers!
4,5 stars!!!
