Just One Taste

The Kingston Family, Book 7

De: Carly Phillips

Narrado por: Samantha Cook, Jason Clarke

One grumpy billionaire.
One sassy-sweet supermodel.
Add in a tropical private island paradise.
What could go wrong?

As owner and CEO of Dirty Dog Spirits, thirty-three-year-old Asher Dare has it all. Money. Power. Women whenever he wants. A private island retreat when he doesn’t. People he trusts? He can count those on one hand. When one of his best friends asks a favor—hide his twenty-one-year-old supermodel sister on the island until a scandal blows over—Asher can’t say no. But he doesn’t have to like it.

The daughter of a Senator and a Presidential candidate, Nicolette Bettencourt always acts with decorum. Yet through no fault of her own, scandal seems to follow her every move. When nude photos surface, the uproar puts her father’s campaign at risk. And forces her into hiding with Asher, the hottest—and grumpiest—billionaire she’s ever met.

Under soothing tropical breezes, Asher discovers that Nicolette is nothing like the spoiled brat portrayed in the tabloids. She’s warm, sexy, and a temptation Asher must resist at all costs—or he risks betraying his closest friend, bringing a powerful political dynasty to its knees … and losing the woman he loves.

Falling fast…must be the age gap

I really enjoyed this book. Im not usually a huge fan of age gap books, but it was only 12 years, and Nikki is pretty mature for her age. As a model, she stated living life young. She certainly didn’t have a hard life as the daughter of a US senator, at least in the public eye. But at home, she was only a prop for her father’s political ambitions. Her lifestyle lead to jealousy among her peers, until it finally reached a tipping point.
Asher Dare is the best friend of Nikki’s older brother, Derek. Derek called in a favor and asked if Nikki could “hide out” on Asher’s private island until things in Nikki’s life settled down. And although Nikki and Asher knew each other, they hadn’t been close or even really friends. That certainly changed quickly.
As for the narration, Jason Clarke is amazing with all his emoting and different character voices. Samantha Cook is okay, but her different character voices could use some work, especially the male voices.

Great story

Looking forward to the next book in the series.
Enjoy the HEA!
Certainly can use more of this!

love love love

I really love this series. the next one comes out in 3 days. I can't wait!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT....

But wouldn't it be nice if just one there was a series that were middle-class average people that made these love connections? People that are not rags to riches just real life.

Just one taste

Great story line and Characters. Love the Kingston and Dare family. Love Carly Phillips and can’t wait to read more

Age difference.

Just like Asher,I had trouble with the age difference. But the character development was great and by the end I accepted that it was a good match.

Amazing!!!

Hands down my favorite book of this series!!! I highly recommend to anyone who needs a series to listen to try this series!!!

What does age matter

When you’re are splashed everywhere who do call your big Brother. Who does Brother call his best friend to get you back to your sanity.
Carly Phillips does it again can’t wait for the book in the series!!!!!!

Love it

I hate to see this come to an end. The Dare and Kingston series are great. I love how they intertwined with each other. Please write more lol

Good

I liked this one but am not sure why age gap concerns are even a thing. Once you reach your 20s who cares?! Great narration.

Disappointed

I’ve encountered the storyline of this book before; it was a struggle to continue listening to it for this reason, too predictable. I love Jason’s voice and narration and he kept me listening. Samantha was pretty good also; they were both great; story needed to be more unique and unpredictable.
