Sweet, sensual, playful and witty I loved Kissing Her Crush by Ophelia London! ~ Slick, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
He’s sweet trouble…
Natalie Holden wants three things: To be the best chocolate chemist in Hershey, Pennsylvania, to prove her chocolate recipe can help teenage depression, and to get over gorgeous Luke Elliott, the guy she’s had a crush on since birth. Unfortunately, he’s the microbiologist set to debunk her chocolate study. And, of course, he looks more delicious than ever!
Luke Elliott is still bitter over his divorce. Work is his passion now, and landing a huge promotion is just what he needs. What he doesn’t need is a crackpot trying to prove that chocolate cures depression. The last thing he expects is for the crackpot to be Natalie Holden—his “what if” girl from high school—or that she’d still tempt the hell out of him.
They may not see eye-to-eye on her project, but they can’t deny the explosive chemistry that keeps pulling them together. Even when it risks their jobs and the very different futures they both want…
Review copy for an honest review
From the first moment the hero and heroine meet in Kissing Her Crush before the conflict was 
revealed before their baggage came in to play, I was hooked. Every book I’ve read by this author has been the same way; she hooks you from the start, reels you in and then keeps you there were her fresh plots, crazy but loveable characters and simmering sexuality.
Smart, sassy and confident, Natalie Holden loves her job as a chemist in research and development for Hershey and getting the funding to prove for a trial to prove her chocolate recipe can help teenage depression is just the chocolate whipped cream on top of her hot chocolate until she finds out the National Institute of Health is sending someone to proctor her research is a bit of a wrinkle especially when that proctor turns out to be the object of her teenage dreams, Luke Elliott.
I loved their playful banner throughout this book laced with sexual innuendo and chocolately goodness. Watching them try to keep their lips, hands and other body parts away from each other so as to not compromise Natalie’s research and Luke’s job was at times funny and at other times frustrating, especially to them! I enjoyed the time they spent with each other’s family both of them realizing how important their respective families were to them and I especially enjoyed that as they got to know one another better their respect grew for one another and did their insight into each other’s lives.
This is a romance on the sweeter side so while we saw Natalie and Luke enjoy each other often giving the reader the impression they were headed towards a more physical relationship, it didn’t happen in this book, but in my opinion that only made their story better and there was no doubt when they finally got there it was going to be spectacular and who knows maybe Natalie won’t need to depend on chocolate as a mood enhancer anymore!
