Publisher's summary

A fiery, passionate MM forbidden romance performed by Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton! This audiobook now includes the prequel novella Maybe This Time! A novella that gives you the story behind the story of One Time Only! Indulge in this longer, updated recording with bonus material!

Ever hear the story about the bodyguard who falls for the rock star?

Yeah, it never ends well.

Each day I remind myself that it's my job to protect Stone. And nowhere in the job description does it say I should lust after the charismatic, charming man.

Especially since we're opposites.

But every night I spend with him the dangerous, off-limits attraction grows more intense.

Until one night in a limo when we combust.

One time only will have to be enough. One scorching, forbidden night.Because the mistakes from the past are chasing me. And if I give in again, I'll lose everything.

But sometimes you grab hold of the desire. And other times, the desire takes hold of you.

No matter the cost.

A Delicious Blend, with Plenty O' Yummy To Share!!

Enjoyed this final installment very much. Especially how the storyline was consistent, and made sense right up to the very satisfying conclusion!! Gots my sexy & searing HEA, so I'm one happy guy.

The dual narration was ... good. Solid in painting clearer intent, and how well each character was on an issue or their ultimate resolution was with it. These two were well connected, and handled it very well.

More, please. Off to sample "Scoring with Him." Excellent job you three!!

Jaddy

I will listen to anything with Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton. They are always amazing! I thought the story was good. I miss the playfulness that the characters had in the beginning of this book and in Ivy’s story. I felt the characters lost their silliness once they became romantic; but it was narrated well and the book kept me entertained

Huh. Who knew?

My first MM romance and I have to say I really loved it. It was very sweet and I felt connected to the characters. Blakey is one talented author and the narrators were perfect. I especially love that deep Jackson voice (swoon)!

A redeeming storyline with great performances

I find myself as an unabashed Lauren Blakely devotee, but then add the phenomenal performances of Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan to the mix for an enjoyable listen.

While it did become a bit formulaic (I am aware of the penchant for sushi restaurants, tea, healthy diet, and over-diailed sex), the story redeemed itself with a fitting end.

My only worry is that I am reading the Gay romances faster than she can produce!

Sweet Bodyguard Love Story

Loved the story, characters, and the narration. Jackson and Stone are perfect together. Happily, they figure it out! (AGS)

Love who you love

This book is off the charts hot but there is also so much love and emotions.

Stone Zenith is a famous rock star that lives his life to the fullest. He loves men but he isn't opposed to loving women as well and he has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. He has an unhealthy attraction to his bodyguard but he can't get a read on him if he is into men or women or both.

Jackson Pearce is Stone's bodyguard. Strong, broody, and professional and also attracted to his client. He can't cross that line no matter how much he wants to. There is too much on the line for him but that line becomes blurry when the heat between them finally explodes.

This is a great book about LOVE and passion and being free to love whoever you love. It is extremely hot as Queen B always delivers but it's also a great story and I enjoyed all of it.

Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan were perfect. Teddy with his manly man, take charge broody voice and Jacob with his playful full of life zeal. They were fantastic to listen to. There is also bonus content at the end with an interview that is so good and a tease of what's to come next year.

Get ready for an extremely hot MM story that will also melt your heart with love. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

Loved Jackson and Stone's story!

Five fabulous stars for One Time Only! Lauren Blakely gave us to amazing male leads in Jackson and Stone, and the story, the emotion, the connection between these two men was electric and powerful.

Jackson is a by-the-rules security guard, and rule number one is don't fall in love with your client. But Stone is simply irresistible. He's gorgeous, he's playful, he's soulful, he's thoughtful, and his inner monologue is absolutely hysterical. Experiencing the two of them falling in love is such a treat. Also, experiencing their relationships with their families, friends and co-workers was gave us a deeper picture of each of these men.

I both read and listened to this one, and it was a lot of fun to hear the how Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan brought the characters to life. Jacob was fantastic as Stone, and really captured this playful nature. And Teddy brought so much passion, drive and earnestness to Jackson.

My cheeks hurt from smiling so much😊

ONE TIME ONLY is a super fun book with two sexy af men. Jacob and Teddy are awesome and bring LB’s words to life. I was on the edge of my seat during a few scenes but the end of Chapter 34 had me fist pumping in the air. I told LB she’s killing me because she is brilliant building up her readers for something big. AND... Boom! She delivered. I loved everything about this book.

What a wonderful love story

This book was off the charts hot. The chemistry between Stone & Jackson is palpable. These two where destined to be together. It was preordained in the authors previous books and you could feel the attraction, the sexual tension in each character of this long awaited story. I am a sucker for a good HEA and this is a truly worthy one.
Jacob & Teddy did a fabulous job narrating these two dynamic personalities.
