The Harder They Come by Kaenar Langford is an erotic contemporary romance.

Ellaina can’t understand what has her two employees are so captivated until she gets a good look out of the window of the Starlight Café. She can’t believe her eyes when she sees the most handsome walking wet dream, Luke, climbing off of a motorcycle with wide shoulders, tight jeans, and long brown hair with a face of a model. Nothing like that ever happens in their quiet small town! He is everything that Ellaina ever wanted. Too bad he is about ten years too young for her. Luke is a businessman who just moved to town to get away from the high stress environment that he lives in. When Luke stumbled upon the Starlight Café, he knew that he finally met his fate when he looked upon the most beautiful woman in the world, Ellaina. Luke has the most erotic daydream upon meeting Ellaina that you could imagine and Ellaina isn’t far behind. Ellaina is checking a customer out when she learns that Luke is endearing himself to a woman, Helen. Helen has nothing but praise for Luke after he hires her husband to work for him. Luke is not only drop dead handsome, but smart to boot! Ellaina can’t get Luke out of her mind and at closing time Luke is there to see her home. Luke definatelyhas his work cut out for him when she refuses. What plan will Luke come up with to win the woman of his choice? Will Ellaina withstand Luke’s charm or will he win to both of their satisfaction?

Ms. Langford has created a very erotic and cleaver story about one man finding the love of his life in the most unexpected place. Ellaina at first refuses to contemplate a future for them because of their age differences, but she learns that love can conquer all. Luke is a man on a mission to capture the woman who captured his heart the instant he laid eyes on her. The love that developed between Ellaina and Luke was beautiful to behold. I loved how the members of the community stood back and watched the match unfold with quiet support. Thanks goes to Ms. Langford for a great read.
