Close to You by Kristen Proby

4.0

From Author Kristen Proby comes this second novel in her Fusion series. CLOSE TO YOU is Cami and Landon's story...


I get lost in you,” I whisper, wishing I could see her face, but not wanting to move her. Mm,” she says. “But it’s the kind of lost that’s like being found.” I blink, processing her words, and know, in this moment, that there will never be anyone else for me."


Cami has loved Landon for as long as she can remember, but Landon has never given her any indication that he feels anything more for her than friendship. When he leaves to join the Navy, Cami knows it's time to grow-up and move on. Twelve years and a failed marriage later Cami is part-owner of Seduction and content with her life. That is until Landon moves back home and those old feelings start to surface again.

Landon has always loved Cami, but she was just too young. Keeping those feelings hidden he goes off to join the Navy and give Cami time to experience life. An accident leads to his being discharged from the Navy and unable to fly again. Now living back home, one look at the woman Cami has become, Landon knows nothing is going to stop him from making her his.



I really enjoyed this one. It was SUPER sweet and had virtual NO angst. In fact, I kind of wish there had been at least a small amount of angst. I wanted Cami to hold out a bit and really make Landon work to get her to go on a date. Alas, she pretty much fell into his arms and they cruise happily along through the whole book. Still I'm sure that a lot of readers will appreciate the lack of drama. It certainly didn't lessen the enjoyment I got from reading this one. I LOVED the wonderful friendships between Cami and her "girls". Her interactions with her nephew Steven. Her hilarious conversations with the "demon" cat...

Really what can I say. I laughed, I smiled, I even shed a tear or two. I can't wait for Kat's book (even though I had kind of hoped it was going to be Mia's. And I REALLY hope that DR is going to pop up in a future book) Two thumbs up...
