About the book: Release Date February 4, 2014

Hockey star Ben Kelly has retreated to his mountain cabin in the ski town of Cascade, BC, to recuperate from a season-ending knee injury and contemplate his future in the NHL. He never expects to run into the one woman who got away. Nine years may have passed, but nothing has dulled the explosive chemistry between them. Now he wants more than just one night.

Hailey Eriksson had Olympic-sized dreams until an accidental pregnancy from a one-night stand halted her ambitions. Her life was shattered when her son died. Nothing will keep her from fulfilling her promise to him to make the Olympic team, especially not the charming Ben Kelly. Unfortunately, he’s out of sweep her off her feet this time, and she finds him harder and harder to resist with each passionate kiss. But when he learns about the child he never knew, will their rekindled romance be on thin ice?

Review:

When Ben Kelly pops into a local bar to grab a beer and something to eat, he thinks that the waitress looks familiar and when she basically sneers at him, he doesn’t have a clue as to why. Until he makes a trip back to the bar and realizes that the one woman who got away and he has fantasized about is the one who won’t give him the time of day. But, why?

Of course, he convinces her to give him a chance and they embark on a relationship of sorts….. Sort of him showing up wherever she is and badgering her into giving into his wanting to see where things will go between them. And, once she finally gives in, things steam up pretty quickly. Hailey finds herself so taken with Ben, that she’s afraid to broach the subject of their son. How will he handle the fact that the son he never knew is forever lost to him? And, once he finds out, will they both be able to get past their feelings of betrayal, or, will their hearts be so broken that they breakaway?

If you’ve read my reviews before of Crista’s books, you know that I would read a phonebook that was written by her. THANK YOU SWEET BABY JESUS that she doesn’t settle for that and writes these amazing romance stories for all of us to enjoy. I have no idea how in the world Crista does all that she does AND continues to write such wonderful stories. But, I’ll tell you (and her) that I am sooooo glad that she does!! I absolutely adored Ben and Hailey. For an author to be able to write of such a profound loss and weave the story the way she did absolutely did me in. I have only said this about two other authors, but I absolutely worship at the altar that is Crista McHugh. Very well done, Crista, very very well done. I can’t wait for the next Kelly Brother, and I’ll say it again peeps…… If you’re looking for sweet, hot, touching, funny, sexy romance, she is the author for you!!!!
