Where do babies come from?
The question every parent dreads hearing has finally fallen from the lips of six year old Ava Banks, the curious, precocious little girl that you fell in love with in Ignite. Jeremy and Sierra, normally blunt as can be, struggle to find the right words to answer her. So instead, they rewind sixteen years to that one fateful day where a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven inevitably led to life-long romance filled with laughter, love, and many, many mishaps along the way.
Falling in love with your best friend? It’s the most incredible thing in the world. But when a love comes so easily, will it truly be able to last? When the world comes crashing down around you, can even the strongest relationship withstand great tragedy?
Stay tuned for lots of laughs, teenage awkwardness, a few tears, and most of all, mullets. Because what good love story doesn’t do business in the front, and party in the back?
**While Fusion is a standalone romance, it’s best read after Ignite.

Review

Any book that discusses Dawson’s Creek, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, mullets, and a forever kind of love is absolutely a book I want to read, and this is exactly the kind of story that Tessa Teevan gives readers in Fusion.

We live. We laugh. We love.

Three of the most simplest sentences out there but also three of the most consuming and complicated ideas that even with a lifetime to experience them, no one will truly understand how meaningful they are unless they give themselves fully over to someone they can’t live without…to someone who was there since they were kids.

Sierra and Jeremy’s story began when they were eight years old and didn’t really know what friendship or love even meant, but regardless of that fact, what they found in each other all those years ago was a forever kind of friendship and love that may have taken them awhile to figure out, but once they recognized what they could mean to each other and the life they could make together that was all it took to alter their lives in the most blissful and worthwhile ways.

Where you go, I go.

No truer words were said by Sierra and Jeremy to each other on multiple occasions than these ones. It represents what they are to one another down to the core and what they’re willing to do to ensure their connection remains despite the distance or hurdles they might experience.

What I loved most about Fusion was how easy it was to see from the very beginning of the story that Sierra and Jeremy were meant to be together and how easy their relationship progressed once it started. Don’t get me wrong…they faced obstacles and darkness, but it was never anything that would tear them apart because they were part of each other’s soul and that never changed despite a few times when they lost their way.

The reality of Sierra and Jeremy’s relationship in the book was a testament to the kind of people they are and how much better they were when they were side by side, taking on every aspect of life, and Tessa Teevan does a fantastic job of illustrating the ease and depth of their connection even when they were blind to how they truly felt about each other.

In Fusion, readers are granted an insider’s look into Sierra and Jeremy’s twenty year friendship and a bond that every couple hopes for but very few hold on to, which only makes other couples wish to emulate what they have even more.

A lifetime of memories with times of pain and heartbreak as well as extreme joy resonate off the pages of Sierra and Jeremy’s story, and I loved being a part of every moment, both good and bad, because each one is real and honest and pure and they are a testament to a life and a love worth EVERYTHING.

A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

Excerpt
“It’s fine, Jeremy. I promise. I have no problem being the Tod to your Copper. Or the Joey to your Dawson. That’s who I am.” She hesitated for a brief moment. “That’s who I’ll always be. You’re my best friend, Jeremy. It’s okay that you don’t see my boobs. Hell, it’s probably better that way.”
My stomach plummeted and if I was man enough to admit it, my eyes burned with an unexpected rush of tears. I stepped back, out of the streetlight so she couldn’t see me. It was a move she misinterpreted, but before I could find a single ounce of courage, she was waving goodbye and running into her house, leaving me there to watch her go.
Something I never wanted to do again.
It wasn’t until after Sierra left for Ohio and I had a chance to reflect on her words that I realized what she’d said. Dawson and Joey, as of right then, weren’t even speaking. Copper and Tod went their separate ways, and even though their friendship remained, they were still apart for the rest of their lives.
I didn’t want to be Copper anymore. I sure as hell didn’t want to be Dawson.
But it was too late. I’d lost my chance. I’d missed my window. Sierra was gone and there was nothing I could do about it.
Jenna was right.
I was an idiot.
