FUSE (Love Always Wins Book 7) Kindle Edition

by Deborah Bladon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 3,170 ratings
FUSE, a new standalone novella from New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Deborah Bladon

Brighton Beck has the life that many men can only dream of. He's a successful artist, he has a loving family and he's surrounded by people who appreciate and respect his talent. To anyone looking in from the outside, they'd see a perfect life but he's lost two women he loved and that stalled him in his tracks. Beck is stuck in a bottomless pit of self-pity and it's starting to not only impact his loved ones and friendships, but his career too. Zoe Cameron is dealing with her own demons when she lands in Manhattan in anticipation of starting law school. She's determined to leave her past behind but she's experienced her own personal loss and the only way she knows how to deal with it is by pretending it never happened. When Beck and Zoe meet, the attraction is instant and absolute. She lights a fuse beneath him that propels him back into his art studio and his element. As their friendship shifts into something more, Zoe realizes that the only way anyone can truly move on is by accepting their past. Will Beck be there for her when she's ready to expose her deepest secrets or will his own fears steal him away?

About the Author

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Deborah Bladon, has never read a romance hero she didn't like. Her love for romance novels began when she was old enough to board the bus, library card in hand to check out the newest Harlequin paperbacks. She's a Canadian by heart, and by passport, but you can often spot her in New York City sipping a latte and looking for inspiration for her next story. Manhattan is definitely her second home.

She cherishes her family and believes that each day is a gift for writing, for reading, and for loving.

    5.0 out of 5 stars incredibly? My favorite...
    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2015

    I literally started reading Deborah Bladon six days ago and have read my way through the entire series, including the free novellas I could access. I am in love with her writing! While I did not take the time to review the previous series/standalones, let me assure you that you need to start from the beginning and just enjoy....from this affirmation I will say that "Fuse" is my absolute, by far, favorite story. I was not impressed with Beck in the Obsessed series. Really, I did not see his appeal, at all! I believe the author decides to build characterizations based on her hero/heroine and allows the reader to perceive the secondary characters as they will. Smart...because we see many of the secondary characters in the books to come. However, this practice is risky because a reader tends to make assumptions and, therefore, judges a character based on slim information. Certainly, I misunderstood Beck from his appeal/appearance, to his personality, to his charismatic talent in the very first installment "obsessed." I never understood Beck's presence! In Fuse, we see a thoroughly grown up man. Honestly, of all Bladon's spectacular alphas, Beck is the most appealing. I believe his honesty and FOUND integrity elevate him above the entire character list. Again, I NEVER thought I would see this revelation. Zoe...Zoe...all I can say is that she is wonderful. Please, please give me another standalone with Beck navigating her through the sh@$st$&m that is her past! Her story must be revealed and their love deserves more attention!!! Good grief, my family hates me as I have gorged on this library of characters and stories. I apologize that I did not review each series ( I DO NOT REVIEW INSTALLMENTS AS I HATE SERIALS. THIS IS NOT THE 1800's people! Write books! ). But, I was enthralled...true story...and could not stop reading. I did not enjoy each series equally. I have a love in descending order list, but really the entire library should be read, somewhat in order, to appreciate the growth of characters and relationships. I will add that "Fuse"does not have the level of (gosh I can't say bedroom because the sex rarely occurs in a bedroom) ACTION as we experience in the previous series. While I enjoy quality erotica, the story should drive the plot. I appreciate and understand why we waited for Beck and Zoe to connect, to truly find one another both emotionally and physically! Well done!! This book is perfect, except it ended!

    Brighton is a well known artist, his paintings are expensive and because of it a lot of money. Zoe is a waitress at a bar while she’s waiting to go to law school. They meet one night at the bar. He is drunk and obnoxious, but when Zoe comes to take his order, clueless to who he is, he notices her in a way he hadn’t experienced before. They become friends, until friends is not enough.
    I really liked this book, but it should have been longer. I would love to know more about her fiancé, her family and how she changed because of it. And also more about the time between the end and the epilogue. It couldn’t have been easy for Zoe to get engaged again, or going to law school while being pregnant. But it is still a good it just had the potential to be a great book.
    Oh I wished I had read the other books about Jax, Alexa etc before this one. I know Fuse is supposed to be a stand alone book and it is, unless you want to know the history of the other people in Brighton past. I really don’t like series about the same couple, so I skipped those. Might go back to them later because I really love this author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect read...
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2015

    This was a perfect read.... short... but perfect.

    Having met Beck, the famous artist in Vain, I really didn't care for him "AT ALL". So I was looking forward to reading his story hoping he would redeem himself.

    In Vain, he was the arrogant cheating artist. While in Paris taking care of his girlfriend Liz following her car accident, he started a love affair with Alexa, later breaking her heart. Liz soon after dumped his a$$ cause she couldn't get over the guy who died in the accident and who she was cheating on Beck with. That prompted Beck to come back to the US chasing after Alexa with promises of love months after, even though they had been without contact. By which time Alexa had moved on with another relationship, which coincidentally happened to be with his friend Noah.

    Which is when Beck story begins on this book... heartbroken and crying the blues to Zoe at a bar cause Alexa married Noah..... karma is a biatch!

    As I read, I liked how he came across now and liked th man he,was in the end. Being lonely left him open to accept a friend in Zoe instead of doing his usual pick up & leave them routine. Beck was open and ready to meet the girl to fall in love. He acknowledged how he used Alexa to get over his hurt feelings, his jealousy for Liz loving someone else while with him. Zoe's was smart, giving and kind. She had the perfect attributes to bring out the best in Beck. I was heartbroken to learn of Zoe's past hurt, but I was amazed at how strong Zoe was. No-one is perfect and accepting the good with the bad in anyone makes you special, and she was. Happy Beck and Zoe found each other, got a second chance at love and their happy ending.

    Great read!!!

    Looking forward to reading Clives (Becks cousin) story in Gone and Kayla's story with Ben (Noah's brother) in Ruin.... or should that be the other way around? You see Deborah Blandon stories are independent, but characters are entwined as friends, family, past relationships... making them all that much more enticing to read.

    Sadie & Hunter(Exposed)
    Jax & Ivy(Obsessed)
    Jessica & Nathan (Pulse)
    Garret & Vanessa (Trace)
    Alexa & Noah( Vain)
    Kayla & Ben(Ruin)
    Clive & Lilly (Gone)
    Alex & Libby (Solo)

    Yeap, a nice maze of characters indeed!

    Loved it!! Deborah Bladon is an automatic clickety-click for me. I have devoured every book she has written. What I appreciate the most about Deborah is that she always communicates with her readers when there is a hold up on a release. The hold-ups are always related to something that is out of her control (Amazon) but she keeps readers in the loop as to when a book is available to download. She has never set a release date and then not met it. I have quit reading 2 other authors because they continually promised release dates and then failed to deliver or communicate why the delay - and I am talking delays of months!! Deborah is one of the best authors out there and I will continue to enjoy all her books - what amazing stories!

    Another excellent read from this author. What an ending thought. I do hope we get to find out more in the next novel.... Beck is such a character and has played the villain in all the other tales in the different series connecting all the characters. I like that hes now found peace... Long may it continue. As for Zoe, well, what lays a head in her future remains to be seen..... Does she manage to juggle everything to achieve her goals? I am trying not to give too much away here, as it would spoil it for you all that want to read this lovely touching story.
