Close to You

    In this blog post, I reviewed Kristen Proby’s Close to You, the second installment in the Fusion contemporary romance series. This love story will have your heart swoon and make you laugh in stitches. For Cami LaRue, she had the biggest crush on her best friend’s brother for a long time. When she was a teen, he went away to the Navy for a decade as a pilot. Now since he was home and back into her life, she wanted to mince words with him. Later on, their friendship had blossomed into something wonderful when they both revealed feelings for each other. They took their newfound relationship when they dated and went through some unexpected life-challenges along the way. For Landon, he loved flying planes for the Navy. Until he ended up injured on a mission, he recovered back home and faced Cami, the only woman he ever wanted and stole her heart. In the meantime, he became a central focus point into her life and being there for whenever she needed him. Now since he had found Cami, he never wanted to leave Portland for the longest time and found home with her. But when they dealt with an unexpected blow, they worked through the issues together and found out they were meant to be together forever.

This heartfelt  contemporary romance is truly wonderfully written and moves your heart. This  romance has all the right ingredients for a great love story. I I cared for Cami, who loves her work at the restaurant, and had issues with Scoot, a wilty cat. I loved how she cared for her nephew and having fun with her besties. I adored Landon Palazzo, and loved how he took care of her and all of her needs, even if he dealt with her cat Scoot. The location in Portland Oregon was loveswept with mesmerizing scenic settings to take you places.The theme of the story is absence makes the heart grow fonder and stronger with every heartbeat.

This endearing contemporary romance is top-notch and perfect for a steamy Love story. I rated this book, four out of five stars, because it was an emotional read.  If you love romances with non-stop romantic action, plenty of romantic drama, and heart-stopping intrigue, Close to You should be added to your TBR list. This book is recommended for fans who love Hallmark Channel movies, Kristan Higgins, Jennifer Probst, and other romance novels.
