Hard Crush: A Billionaire Romance (Back To You Book 1) Kindle Edition
From USA TODAY bestselling author Mira Lyn Kelly:
Ten years ago, I was the geek with too many ideas and one girl I wanted forever. A billion dollars later, and one night with a soft body is as close to forever as I get. It’s all I want. Or it was. I never thought I'd see her again...
I never thought I’d see her again
Let alone find her in the same spot I left her ten years ago, teaching at the high school where we fell in love.
I should have kept walking
But I wanted that laugh. That smile.
I wanted five minutes before I got back to the life with no room for my past.
One kiss was all I meant to take
But then her fingers were in my hair, her breath hot against my lips.
My hands… everywhere.
Now I want more
I want her, but she only wants the guy I used to be.
And just like the first time... I can’t stay, and she won’t leave.

Abby is someone with a very sad past and a lot of emotional baggage, so much she's unable to trust a man who'd do anything for her. Because she has trusted before and has been let down so many times by someone who should have been there to protect her.
Hank... Hank is the hot, silly, passionate, mind-blowing nerd guy who is not willing to let her go, even after 10 years have gone by. He's driven, focused on his job, while also being so adoring and so loving you will melt. Seriously.
And their story together, going through what was in the past, what it is right now and what could be in the future will bring a smile to your face and tears to your eyes.
Second chance stories are not really my favorite, but this is some flawless writing. It's steamy and sexy, but there's a real connection there that can only come from two people who know each other well. The emotions in this book are through the roof, in the best possible way.
If you're not in love with Mira Lyn Kelly's writing yet, this will certainly do it for you. I know I already am.
Hank has never forgotten Abby. She is very much the one who got away. He is hoping this second chance at love will have a different ending. As far as he can tell, the feelings not only went away, they are back in full force.
I thought this was one of the best - most sexy - romance stories I have ever read. I was more than thrilled to see it be put on the app Chapters. Had to come back and review this very hot and very good read. What a great introduction to the Back To You series!
I also really liked the ending and the fact that it wasn’t always Hank chasing Abby. Abby made some good strides to prove to Hank that she was invested too, and the fact that both of them made gestures was super nice to see and it made their relationship feel really balanced. They both were pretty mature about everything too; it felt like a pretty healthy relationship despite Abby’s hesitance.
Overall, the characters felt really well-rounded and I think they both had some nice growth. The plot was alright (a few angsty moments and a mild climax) although it wasn’t anything crazy. It’s really mostly about Abby and Hank re-learning about each other and how they could make a relationship work. It’s a perfect read if you’re into second chance romances and a real small-town, homey vibe.
Hank is funny, sweet and dirty. A tech billionaire poster boy. I could not get enough of this guy!!
"I tell myself all I want is to say hello. To see her smile. Just a few minutes to pretend we’re still the “us” I thought would never end."
And their connection heats up instantly. The chemistry is insane! This is one of those books where I want to say, get it now. Read it. You can thank me later.

Schon nach den ersten Seiten habe ich den Schreibstil geliebt - leicht, sympathisch, authentisch, gefühlvoll.
Natürlich ist die Story vorhersehbar und sie hat keine übermäßigen Wendungen, aber ist gerade so etwas nicht auch mal das, was man braucht?
Abby und Hank waren ein super schönes Paar und ich werde definitiv mehr Bücher dieser Autorin kaufen!
