Good morning and welcome back to the KU Sunday Spotlight, brought to you by KU Books Reviews + the One-Click Addict Support Group. This week, a book discovered by accident rekindles a love affair—between me and the author, and between a billionaire and the girl he left behind . . . *Sigh* Enjoy!

RATING: BUY IT

“It doesn’t matter whether I’m the guy I was ten years ago or the guy I am today. Neither one of us can let you go.”

I happened upon Mira Lyn Kelly’s Hard Crush entirely by accident—thank you, Kindle Unlimited catalogue and my fat fingers. But, oh, what a happy accident it turned out to be, because this book absolutely charmed me. I LOVED IT—shouty caps completely and utterly necessary.

It’s funny, you know . . . A couple of years ago I read two books by this author {Touch & Go and Now and Then} and loved them, too. But, despite thinking at the time that I needed to read ALL the books she’d written, it wasn’t until Hard Crush that I again found myself holding a book with Ms. Kelly’s name on the cover.

I’m kind of loathe to know what I missed in those two years, but incredibly glad that I didn’t miss this one. That I didn’t miss Hank + Abby.

Because this book was one of those ones that just made me happy. I felt compelled to turn the page—for no other reason than I loved the characters, I loved the writing, I loved the story. It was fun and flirty and sexy, but there were moments, too, that were more than a little emotional.

Hard Crush is a second chance romance {a favorite trope of mine, surely you know this about me by now?!}, with a billionaire, a school teacher and a few well-placed and likable secondary characters. The chemistry between Hank + Abby is off the charts, and their story—it makes sense, guys. I know that seems like a weird thing to say, but not only could I picture the logic, I felt it, too. That is how well-written this book is . . . I felt it.

In every page, and in my smile as I closed this book that I found entirely by accident—but am recommending with intent.

His mouth dips to mine again and this time he kisses me the way he’s been looking at me for weeks. He kisses me the way he’s been talking to me each night.
He kisses me with purpose.

As of 03.25.2018, Hard Crush is available with Kindle Unlimited.
