THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby’s brand new series, five best friends open a hot new restaurant, but one of them gets much more than she bargained for when a sexy former rock star walks through the doors—and into her heart.

Seduction is quickly becoming the hottest new restaurant in Portland, and Addison Wade is proud to claim 1/5 of the credit. She’s determined to make it a success and can’t think of a better way to bring in new customers than live music. But when former rock star Jake Keller swaggers through the doors to apply for the weekend gig, she knows she’s in trouble. Addie instantly recognizes him—his posters were plastered all over her bedroom walls in high school—he’s all bad boy...exactly her type and exactly what she doesn’t need.

Jake Keller walked away from the limelight five years ago and yearns to return to what’s always driven him: the music. If he gets to work for a smart-mouthed, funny-as-hell bombshell, all the better. But talking Addie into giving him the job is far easier than persuading her that he wants more than a romp in her bed. Just when she begins to drop her walls, Jake’s past finally catches up with him.

Will Addie be torn apart once again or will Jake be able to convince her to drown out her doubts and listen to her heart?

I seriously have no idea why I waited so long to start this series. This book has been on my TBR list for quite a while and I finally gave in. And man I just love getting swept away in a great romance book especially from Kristen Proby.

This book was great read with loads of girl power and sexy musicians. It was swoony with a side of sexiness and I couldn’t get enough. It was a light read that didn’t have a lot of angst but still had all the heart and emotion you would expect from Ms. Proby.

I can’t wait to dive into the next slice of heaven that is this series.

Actual Rating: 4.5 Stars!!

“I’m so tired of hurting. I’m so tired of being thrown away as if I’m nothing.”

As a big fan of Kristen Proby’s, I get super giddy when I find out that she’s writing something new. So, when I heard about her new series, Fusion, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. And let me tell you, Kristen Proby has knocked it out of the park with this one.

Told from dual points of view, Listen to Me follows the story of Jake and Addie. Addie has had a lot of disappointments in her life. From her family doing their own thing, to having the worst possible taste in men. All she has wanted was to find love and happiness. And when her most recent relationship ends up in disaster, she decides that she’s going to swear off men. Too bad Jake is about to come and ruin all of her plans…..Jake used to have it all. Rich. Famous. Musician. But, when a tragedy strikes, it puts fear into him and makes him change his life’s direction. He’s still making music, but he’s not performing anymore. He misses it. He loves what he’s doing, but he feels like he’s missing out. So, when his friend tells him that a hot new restaurant in town in looking for a weekend musician, Jake feels like this is the chance he was looking for. What he didn’t plan on was Addie. Addie is the definition of temptation and he wants nothing more than to get under her skin. But, the more time he spends with her, the more he realizes he wants more than sex. For the first time ever, Jake wants more. Only Addie has been hurt a lot and is afraid to put her heart on the line. Will Addie follow her heart and give Jake a chance? There’s only one way to find out. You’re just going to have to read for yourself to see…..

Listen to Me is a fantastic read, from start to finish. The story-line was fun and refreshing. From the moment you meet Addie and her close knit group of girlfriends, you want to know more about them. They’re young, fun and the best friends anyone could ask for. One of the things I loved about Addie was that she was strong and independent. She’s been dealt some pretty crappy cards in her life, but she tries so hard to not let it get her down. And she is the absolute best friend anyone could ask for. She is loyal and when you have her love, she loves fiercely. She is just what Jake needed in his life. Addie reminded Jake what it was like to laugh and have fun and to live. She essentially brought him back to life. And Jake…Boy did I ever love Jake. This guy is not only a hot musician, but is swoon-worthy with just the right amount of alpha. I loved how he was with Addie. He didn’t let her stubbornness push him away and he wasn’t afraid to go after what he wanted. He showed Addie that is was ok to love and let someone into your heart. I absolutely loved Addie and Jake together. They balanced each other perfectly and man, did they have some scorching chemistry.

Listen to Me gave me everything that I was looking for and more in a Kristen Proby read. It hooked me from the very first page and was easily devoured in one sitting. If you’re looking for an entertaining read with great friendships, romance, light drama, excellent chemistry and some well placed angst, than look no further. I definitely recommend checking this book out. This series is off to a terrific start and I can not wait to get my hands on more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another amazing series by Kristen Proby

Kristen Proby is one of those authors that I can’t seem to get enough of. Her books always get to me. I connect with the characters so well. Either I want them as my friends or I see a piece of me in them. And the men…oh forget about it. They are all so swoonworthy and fantastic. I was pretty dang excited when she announced the Fusion series because I knew I was going to get another set of amazing characters. I wasn’t wrong. As soon as I started the book I knew I’d want to hang out with the group of ladies that founded the restaurant Seduction.

I really loved Addie and Jake. Addie is strong and determined. She has the career she’s always wanted, but she doesn’t have the relationship she’s always wanted. That’s the one place in her life where she seems to make errors in judgement. Jake’s backstory is an interesting and a bit sad. I love that he has decided to give up something he loved because he didn’t like who and what he had become. It was beautiful to watch these two come together and find what they needed in each other. These two have a ton of chemistry and are smoking hot between the sheets and everywhere else.

There are some laugh out loud moments in this book and some heartwarming ones as well. My heart broke a few times as well, but Kristen does a great job of taking me on an emotional roller coaster ride and then giving me a massive payout for vomiting my feelings all over my Kindle. I cannot wait to read Close to You which is Cami’s book. I have a feeling she and Landon will heat up my Kindle. Is it August 9th yet? What a great birthday present this book is going to be (my birthday is August 5th), I can’t wait to revisit Seduction and the amazing women that run it.

What can I say? Kristen has written another great 1st book to what I'm sure is another great series.

Listen to Me has a group of great characters, Jake, the sexy, hot tattooed man that is cocky but he is cocky with humor. Addison, while seemingly always dumped by the bad boy rocker still has a strong character and strong female friends. I like the restaurant Seduction.. great name and I just wanted to go there. I won't go into each character, but it was fun to see that Jake also had a best friend who was a woman who also told it like it was, not trying to just build his ego!

I must say I think I cried through my favorite part, where they are talking behind closed doors. You hit the nail on the head perfectly with what you had Jake saying to Addison.

I already have my kindle charged and in hand to start reading Cami's story. I continue to recommend you to all my friends! As a matter of fact, I just recommended the "With Me In Seattle" series, I thought it would be a good series for her to start with and can continue to the other series because, like me, I have no doubt she will enjoy them all.

Kristen Proby 15/4/16

Ahh, what a dreamboat Jake is, loved how he was this cocky, bad boy but also a very sweet guy.
He might have been the lead in a successful rock band, but had been in hiding for the past 5 years.
We also get to meet a beautiful, strong lady in Addie, who had had a run of bad boy guys in her life, and I was surprised that she let them get away with all their crap.

When her ex was caught literally with his pants down, I was so proud of her, loved her attitude.
I also loved how she tried to keep Jake at bay, and failed – big time!

They had great chemistry, really enjoyed their banter, but they both tried t keep each other at arms length – they both thought they didn't want to embark on a serious relationship.

But what the heart wants.......

They were both there for each other, even when they thought they didn't need or want it.

Really enjoyed the friends on both sides, each friend played an important role in their lives, I'm glad they each had a network of people to fall back on.

I notice we get another of the girlfriends story next – can't wait.

This is a great story, about finding love, keeping your own identity growth as individuals and together.

Great page turner with plenty of feel good moments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kristen Proby has delivered another winner with Listen to me !
Reviewed in France on April 19, 2016

I have been a huge fan of Kristen Proby since her first book of the amazing With Me Series. Since then I devoured and loved every-single-one of her books ! And this one is no exception. She’s a wonderful story teller and you can help to fall in love with all her characters. She creates the perfect mix of heart and heat I love in romance.

Listen to Me is book one in the Fusion series. The story is about former rock star Jake Keller and Addison Wade co-owner with four of her best friends of the hottest new restaurant in Portland, Seduction.

I enjoyed everything in this book. I loved Jake and Addie’s relationship and the teasing banter between them. Their chemistry is incredible and not just in the bedroom. When they are together the atmosphere is so alluring and electric.

If you already know Kristen Proby's all kinds of awesome male characters, you will not be disappointed with Jake. He’s sexy, sweet, funny, charming with an edge and has a delicious dirty mouth. The same for her female characters, they are always awesome women. Addie is beautiful, strong, driven, independant and feisty. One of the many things I like about this author is her ability to develop attaching characters whose stories make you feel intensely.

Behind Jake’s rock star image and Addie’s cool and composed professional façade, you get to see their strengths and weaknesses, their insecurities, their fears and hopes which help to become emotionally invested in their journey. They both have issues they are dealing with and find comfort and friendship in each other. Addie and Jake both have such depth in their personalities.

I also loved the amazing supporting characters. Addie and her four best friends Cami, Mia, Kat, and Riley are family. They are fiercely loyal and protective. Jake also has a strong and solid relationship with his best friends Cristina and her husband Mike, and Max. Jake and Addie both have the love and support of true good friends.

This story has it all, some ups and downs, a little angst, funny and emotional moments, entertaining banters, friendship, passion, romance and love. All that and so much more !

Highly recommended ! Can’t wait to read Close to You, Cami and Landon’s story.
