Just One Kiss

De: Layla Hagen

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Maxine Mitchell

Everyone associates the name Ryker Winchester with money, power plays, negotiations - it's what I'm good at. I always get what I want.

I was completely unprepared for Heather. She's a feisty single mom, challenging me in ways no woman ever has. I can't get enough of her. The way she gives in to me is intoxicating, but I need more than hot nights and sexy dates.

When she introduces me to her daughter, I fall for that little girl hook, line, and sinker. No one has ever played me for a fool like that kid can do with a single dimpled grin. I want to keep them both.

Heather's been hurt before. She's hanging by a thread and doesn't trust easily, but I want more than just some fun.

How can I show her that we can build something incredible together?

Series: Very Irresistible Bachelors, Book 2

This is such a feel good and sweet romance story! Layla always knows how to hit it on the right spot for heartwarming and giddiness. Ryder and Heather were narrated by Joe and Maxine. What a pair, too! They are incredible!!!! It was nice to read about a single mom and a man who just fell in love with her & the daughter. He just want to show her what it could be with him and not to be so afraid about it. The right amount of sexual tension, low angst, and happy banters!!! If you want a heartwarming story, this is the ticket to go for!

Amazing book and narration

Heather’s love of her daughter and Ryker and how caring and selfless she is adds to this beautiful story! Another 5 star book by Layla Hagen!

This charming love story helped me easily meet my walking goals this past Friday and Saturday mornings. I was thoroughly entertained by the different relationship dynamics - Ryker and his siblings; Heather and her 7-year old daughter; and of course, Ryker and Heather.

There was a great mix of career issues for Ryker (overcoming his hedge fund's negative reputation), for Heather (securing a bonus income confirmation as journalist; supporting her daughter solo) and even for Ryker's 2 sisters who opened a storefront for their lingerie business (expansion goals that originally included a new investor's commitment; a status change) with the romance that develops at a realistic pace between Ryker and Heather, and with her concern about her daughter getting too attached to Ryker in case their romance failed like her previous long-term relationship had. All of those issues made for good drama and had believable resolutions.

Honestly, I was not super excited to see Maxine Mitchell was the female narrator chosen as one of the dual narrators because a past reading experience with her was disappointing. However, I really enjoyed her performance this time. My biggest issue with her last time was solved by simply boosting my playback speed to 1.30x.

Joe Arden is a very familiar voice actor to me, and I always enjoy his character interpretations. This time was no different. Bravo!

I'm looking forward to reading this entire series now even more via audiobook format.

Light & Easy Listen

This was a very light and easy listen. There was no drama or angst. Just two people who met and eventually fell in love. The story was wonderfully narrated by Maxine Mitchell and Joe Arden. As always, they did a wonderful job bringing Heather and Ryker to life.

Heather is just trying to navigate life as a single mother. She wasn't expecting to meet Ryker and discover a love like she has never known. Ryker was known as the flirt in his family and never had any intentions of settling down. Then he meets Heather and he just can't stop thinking about her. He instantly has a wonderful connection with her daughter Avery and they were so cute together. Loved how they became a little family and found their HEA.
