One Shot (Chances Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 1,881 ratings

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.

5 One-Shot stars! A steamy read where girl meets boy and boy meets girl.
Sweet baby Jesus! One Shot by B. J. Harvey is a delicious and addictive book. Every written page was a great bookish pleasure. I couldn't put it down. I devoured it as a starved bookworm. This book has a smooth combination of angsty and hilarious moments. It is perfection wrapped in a sensual cover. Everything that is in and out of it is perfect. If you want to spend a good time, you should one-clicked now. This book contains wonderful characters, a great word building and a brilliant plot. B. J. Harvey delivers a compelling story where LOVE gets a new meaning because when you find it, you mustn't let it go. You fight against everyone and everything that could separate you from your soul mate. There is nothing wrong when it comes to fight for real love. That is something Kenz and Millen will learn together (especially Kenz). I love the intense attraction between the main characters. It was explosive, like they couldn't keep their hands off eachother. When they are together, the atmosphere charges with sparkling electricity. Kenz is a woman who knows what she wants and when she met Millen she set the rules which Millen must follow if he wants to get the girl (if you know what I mean) Kenz doesn't want a one night stand, she deserves better and picking boys are the bar she where she works is not her style. Only Millen will be the sexy exception. Gosh! Millen is just Millen. He is cocky and so lethal, impossibly handsome and loyal. He already has his life “planned” but Kenz will turn his world up side down. She is the only woman who have captured his attention in many ways. His soul recognizes her. His heart beats for her. She is his but things won't be easy. Kenz and Millen are like magnets.The interaction between them is refreshing. They challenge eachother. And fate will challenge them. This is a stunning book, a beautifully addictive and unique masterpiece that will captivate you from the first pages. I can't wait to read the following books in the series. I need more Millen and Kenz. (Well to be honest I just need more Millen). Talented authors like B. J. Harvey made me have BIG expectations on men. I highly recommended you this book. Let B. J. Harvey ruin you. Take a One-Shot. You won't be disappointed.

    One Shot by B.J. Harvey.........Wow, That prologue! It hooked me into the story immediately. I had to make myself read slowly, as all I wanted was to get to the part of the story that the prologue teased us with. I felt the angst right from the beginning with this read, as I knew what was coming. One Shot was 5 stars for me, as I enjoyed the story, but also because of the angst. I love reading books like this - that have you sitting on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next, was the ending I wanted for Kenzie and Millen ever going to happen because obstacles just kept getting tossed out there!!

    The chemistry between Kenzie and Millen is crazy from the get-go, and the easy banter between them makes it seem as though they have known each other longer than they actually have. However, Millen doesn't give much away initially, definitely keeps his cards close to his chest. Poor Kenzie is so torn at times throughout this book........Does she do what she feels is right? Trust in Millen and his reasons? Give in to her feelings and hope for the best outcome? Ahhh, the angst in this book most definitely kept me reading and engaged with the story.

    Kenzie's best friend Gaby - I am so looking forward to reading her story and finding out what was going on with her. She was an awesome bestie to Kenzie, and always looked out for her. Definitely looking forward to reading more in this series, there are a few other characters that I now need to know more about.

    One Shot by BJ Harvey
    4.5 stars!!!

    “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 a**holes. 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.

    Oh, Millen what am I going to do with you?

    Kenzie finds herself entranced by the man sitting on the other side of the bar as she serves up drinks for the college town. But this man is no townie, nor is he a barely legal co-ed. No, Millen Ross is all man and he’s a darn bast@rd. And hot. Which almost cancels out that basta@rd part... almost.

    While these two share a few stolen moments, nothing could have prepared Kenzie for Millen’s sudden ghosting of her and then reappearing with s fiancé. The one thing that Kenzie desires over everything else is honesty, and nothing about Millen screams truth.

    An angsty romance with a bit of the humor that I love from this author – One Shot is a romance riddled with struggle and characters that are forced to fight everyone to finally get what they want.

    Now, I’ve read everything from this author and I LOVE seeing all the growth that as occurred through all of the books – it’s been such a fantastic journey. With each book it just gets better and better.

    While trusting Millen wasn’t easy, you just knew that there was more to this story than a guy who just wanted the best of both worlds.

    Another strong release from a favorite author and one romance that you don’t want to miss!

    Reviewed in Australia on November 16, 2017
    I have been anticipating the release of One Shot for months now and had become quite obsessed with Millen (#IWantMillen). And I can say without a doubt that One Shot was definitely worth the wait.

    Once I started it I could barely put it down, as BJ Harvey has created two absolutely incredible characters in Millen and Kenzie. Their chemistry is palpable and their connection electric and yet it doesn’t feel like insta-love, it feels genuine and real. Add to that some great supporting characters (we definitely need more Gaby!!!) and One Shot is filled with people you can’t help but want to know more about.

    One Shot is one of those big picture novels - it’s about more than just romance; it’s about trust and morality and realising when to go with your gut instincts. And BJ has written a book that will resonate with you long after you’ve finished - and in my case it’s one I want to read again now I know what happens so I can fully appreciate it!

    One Shot is full of angst, full of drama and full of twists and turns you won’t see coming. You will be WOW-ed (more than once) and you’ll be kept guessing right to the last chapter. Don’t give up on this phenomenal story because it - like Millen - is worth fighting for ❤️

    I really liked this, i was upset with the heroine half way through as i think she went against her own nature. I would have preferred she waited for him to act first instead of going with him for that trip. But It all ended happily ever after. I assume we will find out what happens to drew in another book.

    Bj Harvey is a brilliant storyteller. Throughout this book she weaved her usual sense of humour and spirnkled a hefty dose of angst in with an almighty round of holy hotness!
    The Universe did not play nice with Kenzie and Millen! They were put through their paces and had to jump through hoops to be together. Scheming antics, drunken shenanigans and history all played a part in this story and it all went so well together, I was hooked right from the Prologue.
    I loved the other characters that appeared in the story and I can't wait to read their stories now.
