Passionate, entertaining, sweet and deliriously sexy, One Time Only has every element of an authentic romance that you could ever want. I laughed, I MELTED, I smiled and I generally just swooned. Jackson and Stone’s slow, erotic burn is so hot that I almost combusted! 

Jackson being Stone’s bodyguard has put the chance of any rendezvous with the irresistible rocker far in the “not gonna happen” zone. Stone, not realizing his tantalizing bodyguard is as attracted to him has shut down any idea of ever fulfilling his fantasies. When these two discover just how wrong they were in thinking nothing would happen... it is sensual MAGIC. These two souls didn’t stand a chance dealing with the forced proximity of their situation. 

Stone being the laissez faire, whimsical party boy never really knew what love was. Stone loves sexual satisfaction but he’s never had emotional needs in that sense. He didn’t understand the gravity that connection holds and when he realizes how infinitely special that is, he can’t let it go. Jacob Morgan voices this character flawlessly. He brings such charisma that you feel as though your clinking glasses with a friend while getting the dirty details first hand. The spirit he poured into Stone is captivating. 

Jackson is the classic firm yet soft when he needs to be personality that will have you falling head over heels for him from the start. He’s protective and possessive, compassionate yet demanding. A sizzling combination. The amount of care he puts into every task, whether it’s keeping Stone safe or moaning his name, oozes with authenticity. Teddy Hamilton goes deep, growly and dominant with this role. Perfectly depicting those bodyguard vibes like he was made for it.

Teddy and Jacob are a duo to be reckoned with when it comes to MM. I will never tire of hearing these two narrate together, they are aural gold. When I say the passion in this story is off the charts I mean there is no chart left to be had. It’s gone up in flames and this narration match is the accelerant. 

Bless Lauren for delving into the MM/LGBTQ world because she clearly has a talent for it. You can tell she has fun writing the dual male POV and truly enjoys bringing forth stories of soul binding, breath taking love. One Time Only is one of the best love stories I’ve listened to this year, earning a firm spot in my favorites. Jackson and Stone are a couple for the ages.

I love Lauren’s stories. This was short but the characters were amazing and the scenes were really hot.

Now I can’t wait to read about Ivy’s sister and Stone and Jackson’s story❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️stars, this book is absolutely perfect. I love M/M books and Lauren did and amazing job with this story. Stone and Jackson were perfect and I loved them since I read their short novella, Maybe this time.

Stone is a famous rock star and Jackson is hired as his bodyguard and sparks fly the moment they met. Their story was so addictive and I couldn’t put it down. I loved how friendly Stone was with everybody and how they started developing a real friendship from the beginning. Besides their chemistry was 🔥 at all times, I just wanted them to be together ASAP. 

This book was sweet, sexy, and the side characters were amazing too. can’t wait to see what more has Lauren in store for us, specially Declan’s story.
