Series background & context
Fusion is a contemporary romance series by Kristen Proby set in Portland, built around a group of friends who co-own a restaurant together. The love stories are the main event, but the restaurant, the staff, and the day-to-day chaos of running a business give the books their rhythm.
Each installment focuses on one couple, often pairing a driven heroine with a hero who challenges the way she’s been holding her life together. The relationships develop against the backdrop of late-night shifts, big events, and the pressure that comes with putting your dream on the line.
What makes the series work is the friendship. These characters tease each other, rescue each other, and call each other out when they’re being stubborn. When someone falls, the whole group feels it, and when someone’s happy, the whole restaurant hears about it.
Come hungry.
You can read the books out of order, but starting with Listen To Me helps you settle into the friend group and the restaurant world before the romances branch out.
