Book Description:
Boy meets girl, boy wins girl, boy nails girl - boy’s gone by morning.
I think for sure it must've been a dream because there’s no way a guy could look like that, touch me like that and be so in tune with me on every known level, and disappear, leaving me with nothing but a good story to tell my friends.
When he walks into my bar three months later, everything I thought I knew and what we’d had disappears in the blink of an eye and the blinding light of the three-carat diamond on his fiancee's hand.
It seems what I thought was a dream is now my most complicated reality, and I've got absolutely no idea how to fix it - or if I even want to.

***ARC received for an honest review***
“Awkward, meet Mortifying. Also,
here are Shame, Embarrassment, Anger, Disgust, and over in the corner there is
Complete and Utter Confusion and her friend I’m Going to Have to Move States
and Join a Women-Only Commune with Cats and Unlimited Batteries.”
BJ Harvey is one of those authors that never fails to
deliver for me. No matter what she decides to write I end up devouring it,
normally in hysterical laughter, normally with a few tears, but more
importantly with what I crave, emotion and character connection and One Shot
was no different. With One Shot, BJ Harvey does angst, and she does it
amazingly well. Damn, this book had me swearing, had me wanting to kill
someone, all the while enveloping me with a huge amount of hope. Hope that love
conquers all and bitches get their just desserts.
“Guys like that are assholes.
They bump and grind, then leave behind.”
Kenzie Sharp threw all her rules out the window when she met
Millen Ross. The chemistry was palpable, their connection one that you find
only once in a life time and yet it seems that still wasn’t enough. These two
just clicked, like peanut butter and jello, like a sad movie and a tub of Ben
& Jerry’s, it just has to be done. But life never makes it easy and these
two have one heck of a journey ahead of them.
“I’m talking about the flirting,
the chemistry – the way he played me in the best possible way and got my body
reacting to everything he did with barely a touch.”
Kenzie was a woman you couldn’t help but love, she had the
patience of a saint, was as honest as the day was long and had one motto in
life, no lies, ever. Kenzie lived and died by her motto. She had seen
first-hand the damage that lies can do and this was one rule she would never
break…until she met Millen.
“This is wrong. This is crazy.
This is – ”
“This is something bigger than
the both of us.”
Millen Ross was completely and utterly adorable. He was
endearing, he was loyal to a fault, self-sacrificing and an heir to the Ross
empire, an empire that his father had worked tirelessly to see succeed. Millen
oozed sex appeal and as ever with BJ Harvey, she writes formidable men. I found
myself reading between the lines with this book, deep down you know the man and
I found myself wondering who was pulling his strings.
“Love isn’t perfect…It’s how you
work through it all that’s important. The hard stuff, the obstacles, the highs,
the lows, the triumphs, and the tragedies. It’s a beautiful pain that’s always
worth it if you’re both willing to work to make things right.” ~ Kenzie’s Dad
When Kenzie and Millen are together the pages were
combustible, the banter was cute and funny and really brought these two
characters to life. I adored their first meet, I instantly felt their
connection and these two were a couple I couldn’t help but champion along.
“When we’re apart I’m broken.
When we’re together I’m whole.”
BJ Harvey pulls out the big guns in this book, yes there is
drama, but what do you expect with an angsty romance. I ran the gamut of
emotions, the air was blue a time or two, and as I said above, death threats
may have been made, but I loved the fact that BJ Harvey managed to elicit these
emotions in the first place, because it meant that she had done her job and
done it well. I adored this book and the epilogue goes a long way to make up
for the journey that BJ Harvey took me on. Sometimes the heart just knows.
