One Exquisite Touch

De: Lauren Blakely

Narrado por: Emma Wilder, Joe Arden, Shane East, Wesleigh Siobhan

Performed by Joe Arden, Emma Wilder and Shane East, One Exquisite Touch is a sexy, rivals-to-lovers standalone, rich with masquerades, billionaires and forbidden trysts!

When the invitation arrived, it detailed the rules of the masquerade -- no names, no identities.

I set one more-- find a most wicked man for one night.

The kind who'll bring me deliciously naughty pleasure in dark corners.

But as the clock ticks to midnight, he finds me, whisks me away to a secret alcove, and delivers all that dirty bliss and then some.

We make arrangements for another secret rendez vous before I rush out of the ball.

But fate has other plans, since I see my most wicked man the next morning. Because that man is the billionaire owner of the hotel across the Strip from mine.

My rival. My enemy.

We vie for business every second of every day, so the last thing I can do is let him in my bed at night.

I give in one final time, in a daring, risqué game of chance, and then I vow to resist.

And that's what I do every time I see him, every time I get to know the brilliant, mercurial man who wants a piece of my business.

Until the night he ups the stakes.

And I have no choice but to see his bet and raise it.

Fantasies come to life

This author never disappoints and I can always get a great experience from either reading or listening to her books. This one takes us on a journey of exploring our kinks and fantasies and shows us it is quiet good to be both a professional business person by day and have our pleasures by night or by day as the chance arrives.

Sage is looking to shake things up and get out of her relationship downer. When she meets the two gorgeous men that set her on fire she has no idea who they are and she doesn't care, she only knows they ignite a fire in her and make her want things she never knew were possible.

Cole and his best friend and partner, Daniel have been playing games together for a long time now and they play by pleasuring women, together. When they spot Sage she is who they want and it is game on. Cole needs this and Daniel knows it so let the game begin and Sage is the one that wins.

This book is not only extremely hot with our darkest kink secrets but it also has heart and two lost soles that have both suffered and need someone even though they don't realize it. It is the love of a best friend that is there to help his best friend out even if in an unconventional way. It is about truly being able to be free with your needs and wants and not afraid to let your guard down and take life by the horns, both of them and live. I enjoyed Sage and Cole's story with Daniel. It is a well written book that keeps your heart rate up and your mind racing to see what is going to happen for these hot individuals and when.

Emma Wilder, Joe Arden and Shane East and so good. The emotion is there, the feelings and they brought this story to life. Loved listening to all of them as well as the guest with them. We also get taste of other books at the end to tease us.

I love this book and highly recommend it. 5 scorching hot stars.

DAMN HOT!! 🔥🔥

Lauren Blakely this book drew me in like a magnet!! It was sexy as hell and very seductive. Thank you for casting Joe , Emma and Shane ! Such an excellent choice❤❤ They were amazing and made me swoon in every chapter! 😍

Joe and Shane are amazing in this performance

Let’s talk audio performance by narrators. Joe and Shane were amazing both talented actors and narrators and they don’t let you down in this story. The female narrators were not as skilled. Emma Wilder was not consistent with her performance at some points she did good at other times she would get rushed or too dramatic and kind of loud. Wesleigh tone sounded fake and too dramatic not my preference for the female narrators.

I love Lauren’s books she is a talented author with masterful storytelling in romance with steam. I even preordered this book. This particular story wasn’t my favorite of hers but it could have been some of the previous narration problems discussed above that turned me off to this story. I think I will read it next and see if my opinion changes.

Overall I recommend this book with 4 Stars!

Deliciously wicked and beautiful.

Sage owns a hotel in Vegas with her sister. Boss lady billionaires, they've worked very hard to make their hotel stand out on the strip. When Sage meets Cole and Daniel, who own the newest hotel across the street from hers, there's an almost immediate attraction. The problem is, Sage is attracted to both men. Is this really a problem?

There are a few stories going on here. There's the naughty dalliances between Cole, Sage, and Daniel. And they are so, so, so HOT!! Also, Cole and Sage are growing closer together. With their past issues, they're forced to confront things they aren't quite ready to. And sweet, filthy Daniel seems to have something going on himself.

This was such a great adventure. Sage, coming into her own sexuality, and owning it. Cole and Daniel offering and delivering so many experiences to Sage. Cole and Sage not looking for, but finding a love they both want and deserve. There's so much I can and want to say in this review, but I don't want to give away anything. Trust me, you'll love it. Lauren doesn't skimp on the delicious dirtiness, and also the swoony moments, and there are quite a few.

Sage's best friend Eliza is having her own love quandry that involves a quarterback.

I listened to the audio version of this, so I got the beautifully wicked Joe, Shane, and Emma telling me this amazing tale. Wesleigh Siobhan is a new-to-me narrator, and she did a wonderful job narrating a little surprise.

Captivating

loved the audio version and thoughroughly enjoyed the narrators
they pullrd me in to the story perfectly

Holy Hotness!

This was hot off the bat! Lauren never disappoints with bringing a hot and steamy story. She makes it even better when she gets the best narrators to perform them! Joe Arden, Emma Wilder, Shane East, Wesleigh Siobhan and new to me narrator Jean Francois Donaldson (who OMG has the deepest sexiest voice I've heard in a while!) totally killed it with the narration! Also a plus are the extras at the end! Giving us teasers of One Time Only with Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton; also a prologue of Lauren and Joe's book How To Get Lucky! I also cannot wait to hear Daniel (Shane) & Scarlett's (Vanessa Edwin) story with One Alluring Chance AND Nadia (Erin Mallon) and Wilder's (Jakobi Diem!!!) story with One Shameless Secret! Whew! So many books to look forward to!!!

One of the sexist books I have ever read!

I would live to read more of Lauren’s book like this one! I could not put it down and the sex was so very hot!!

omg

This book is sooooo HOT!!!! I want to listen to it again and again! Buy it!!!

Sexy and empowering, MUST listen!

To say I was ready for the level of heat in this audiobook would be a lie. Not only is this Lauren’s hottest, most sensual book I’ve listened to it’s incredibly empowering with the strong aspect of owning your sexuality. Owning your desires, stating them, indulging in them. In the best. way. possible. Emma Wilder, Joe Arden and Shane East bring a level of heat and emotion that will have you MELTING. Each one of these narrators brings their own swagger to Sage, Cole and Daniel and it’s just works. I specifically need more of Emma Wilder’s British male accent cause it is incendiary! Wesleigh Siobhan’s voice is captivating, she’s smooth and sweet and effortlessly seductive.

Sage Carmichael runs the Extravagant, one of Las Vegas’ hottest hotels, along with her sister Ivy who we met previously in One Night Only. Sage is a powerhouse of a business woman during the day but by night she’s learning to let herself go and live more. Leading her to a masquerade ball where she indulges in a tryst with not one but two masked men. Thinking she’d never relive her most sensual memory she’s thrown off kilter when the one she was longing for the most walks through her office door and it happens to be Cole Donovan. Her competitor from across the street. Sage struggles a bit with her self acceptance as society would make any woman do, yet she pulls on her inner badass to realize it’s her choice. Always is, always will be her choice and in that complete realization she’s found every ounce of security she could ever need.

Cole is someone who revels in the pleasures of life, having built his equally impressive hotel The Invitation with his best friend Daniel. Although he craves top quality it doesn’t go to his head which just adds to his sex appeal. The most enticing thing about Cole isn’t his deliciously dirty mouth and my god does Joe Arden literally say ALL the things you wanna hear. It’s his ability to instill such trust in his chemistry with Sage without either of them even noticing it at first. Sage opens up and demands her desires from him and there is no doubt he wants to give her exactly what she wants. Whether it’s just him or both him and Daniel. He’s a man who luxuriates in giving her what she’s needs and it’s even better when those needs match.

The sex is off the charts in this book but the theme deep down is truly the acceptance of your own self. It’s okay to be who you want, it’s okay to want want you want. There is someone out there that will not only bring you to rapture with those needs but they will love you for it. It will be exactly what they crave as well and it will make life that much sweeter. Even down to their competitive nature both Sage and Cole were simply made for one another and that pure, fiery connection is highlighted beautifully.

There isn’t a book by Lauren that I haven’t finished and felt sated. One Exquisite Touch went beyond my expectations and I can’t wait for what’s next.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

There is no place like Vegas, Exciting, extravagant, bright and passion filled, this is the city that never sleeps. Sage and Cole own rival hotels and attend the same masquerade ball. Not knowing who is behind the mask, the two enjoy a satisfying tryst with Cole's friend Daniel. The next day when realization hits, there is more than just the rivalry. There is lust and passion! What will happen next? Lauren Blakely takes us on a hot, steamy, passionate journey with these two. I love Sage not only for know herself and what she likes, but for being the high powered business woman she is. Confident, take no prisoners, she runs a classy, successful resort. Cole is all we love. The alpha male who is interested in keeping his woman happy, and not only in the bedroom. He too being successful is an aphrodisiac, but his warmth and attentiveness is the main attraction. And Daniel. The man knows his friend, but the mystery behind him adds so much to his allure. It's an intoxicating listen, and so easy to get caught up in! I loved it!

As always, Blakely has cast this book with perfect voices. Emma Wilder and Joe Arden heat up the earbuds with their portrayal of Sage and Cole. Then Shane East comes in with his seductive accent as Daniel, luring us in. Finishing out with Wesleigh Siobhan, we can only wait patiently for more to be released!
