One More Time

By: Laurelin Paige

Narrated by: Erin Mallon, Rupert Channing

Length: 5 hrs and 42 mins

Publisher's Summary

Ten years ago we were the toast of the town.

Tanner's acting career had just begun. He was hotter than the stage lights and twice as captivating. The gorgeous Australian A-lister was everyone's teenage dream. And he'd picked me. Or so I thought, until he proved to be as false as everything else about Hollywood.

Now I've finally scored the perfect opportunity to star in a major film. The kicker? Tanner will be my costar. I don't know if I can do this one more time....

Right now we're the talk of the town.

Jenna's even more beautiful than she was the last time we were together. And just like before, I can't keep my hands off her. She still doesn't know the truth. The secret of what really happened back then.

Now I have the length of this shoot to convince her to rewrite our script. But if I have her one more time, will once ever be enough?

Quick and fun listen!

One More Time is a flirty and sexy second chance romance. Jenna and Tanner are thrown back together to make a movie after a very public breakup 10 years earlier. From this premise comes a fast and hot story of regrets, misunderstandings and maturity that shows how first love conquers all. Tanner is the perfect blend of popular, hot male actor and tender, compassionate partner. Jenna on the other hand, is beautiful, loving but insecure.These two have combustible chemistry and the story has a fun and easy flow. I especially loved Jenna's best friend Walter, the voice of reason and good advice. With laugh out loud scenes as well as steamy scenes, this book is a pleasure to listen to.

Erin Mallon, who is an amazing narrator brings Jenna to life with her uncertainties and bravado, as well as sporting a very good aussie accent for the character of Tanner. My first Rupert Channing listen, and he is amazing as Tanner with an easy pace and a wonderfully melodic voice. Give this one a listen!

Great Second Chance Romance!!!

Ten years ago Jenna and Tanner, better known as Janner, were Hollywood’s ‘It’ couple. They were each others first love but after Tanner betrays Jenna she moves out of their apartment and refuses to speak to Tanner again. Now, former model Jenna is trying to become a full time actress and gets a big break in the form of the lead role in a highly anticipated romanctic comedy - the catch - the other lead is being played by Tanner.

Erin Mallon and Rupert Channing are superb in this. I’ve listened to a lot of books read by Erin but this is my first one with Rupert and I was not disappointed. Both brought life and longing to their characters and I thought both had great timing and pitch perfect inflections to the scenes.

I really loved this one by Laurelin Paige! She writes some of the best romance that is both hot (the sex scenes!) and tender. I was drawn in to the story and was really rooting for Jenna and Tanner - who had amazing chesmistry (I loved the part where they are filming the fight scene in the movie - I was completely enraptured while listening to it). Neither character is perfect, but they really are perfect for each other. I smiled and laughed out loud a bunch of times while listening to this audiobook! I highly recommend it!!!

✫✫ 3.5 Stars ✫✫

This was a sweet story about a second chance romance between 2 celebrities. I really liked that they were adult about the past and they learned from it. They talked things out in the present which would have probably saved a lot of time if they had just done that 10 years before. I don't know what it was about the characters but I just didn't get sucked into them like I thought I would. It wasn't that I didn't like them, they just just didn't grab me.

The narration was fabulous! Erin Mallon is great no matter what she narrates but I gotta say the Australian accent really worked for me. Rupert Channing is new to me and man he has a great voice!!!

Absolutely loved!

There is nothing like hearing a good book come to life. These two narrators did a fabulous job brining these characters and their story to life. Rupert Channing has one sexy voice and I love the accent.

Jenna and Tanner dates ten years ago and never really got over each other. Now they’re together on a movie set playing opposite each other. It’s hard to stay away when the pull towards each other is still so strong.

I loved Jenna and Tanner’s story and wasn’t ready for it to end. I highly recommend this book. These were the perfect narrators that will make you fall in love with these characters.

Second Time’s a Charm!

One More Time was totally captivating and sexy. Tanner and Jenna were lovers when they were teens. Tanner was an up and coming movie Star and Jenna was a successful model. Maintaining a romance with different schedules and in the public eye was extremely difficult. When compromising pictures of Tanner surface, Jenna is too young and emotional to face Tanner and leaves him. Tanner is also young and busy and handles her leaving all wrong. Now ten years later Tanner is in the position to set the record straight and to convince Jenna for another chance. Jenna has never forgotten Tanner either, and is determined to never have her heart broken like that again. She is older, stronger and wiser. But Tanner is older, sexier and hard to resist. When they start working on a film together, their explosive chemistry sparks back to life.
Erin Mallon, and Rupert Channing were amazing at bringing this story to life. Mallon so perfectly moved between the anxiety Jenna felt at working with Tanner again to the sexy seductress that brought him to his knees. This is the first time I've heard Channing and he had my heart racing from beginning to end. I truly felt the love Tanner had for Jenna and the myriad of emotions as he tried to make her fall for him again. Mallon and Rupert made this fun and sexy story of love, trust, forgiveness, and second chances a phenomenal audio experience!

Hot!!!

Narrator Review:
I loved Erin Mallon and Rupert Channing! I’ve listened to Erin before and she is one I’ll auto buy for. Rupert is a new narrator to me and holy cow, that accent! It’s safe to say I highly recommend the audio version of this book.

Story Review:
Tanner and Jenna are formerly Janner to the public eye. When they were just kids, Jenna is already an accomplished super model and Tanner is the hot new actor in Hollywood. When they meet, sparks fly and despite their impossible schedules, they make a three year relationship work. That is until the paparazzi buts in.

Ten years later Jenna has managed to never run into Tanner after her humiliation of their break up. In all that time she has been trying to break into the acting scene. She’s starting to believe it will never happen when she gets the most amazing opportunity with a director who is successful breaking out new actors. Her dreams are finally coming true but there is just one little snag. Her co-star is non other than Tanner.

Tanner has never been able to get over Jenna. The paparazzi broke them up but he’s also stayed away to give Jenna a chance to break into acting. He’s always known it was her dream but felt she gave up her chance at opportunities to be with him. When it hasn’t happened for her ten years later, he’s determined to make it happen and get a second chance at her love.

Despite how much relationship angst is in this story, I still felt it was a fun, quick read. Tanner being an A list actor that should be full of confidence, was pretty comical with how much he stumbled his way back into Jenna’s life. The fake fight scene for the movie was entertaining and I like that we got to see these two get a do over and handle it the way they should have. This was a great audio book to listen too. Especially Rupert’s accent! Audible provided by author.

A Second Chance at Love

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! It was a fun, light, and sexy second chance romance that will make you laugh and swoon.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked that the characters grew and matured. A decade had passed since they were last together and I was happy that they didn't repeat the same mistakes.

Have you listened to any of Erin Mallon and Rupert Channing ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first time listening to Rupert Channing, but it won't be my last. He was the perfect Tanner and his Australian accent was quite delicious! I've listened to a few of Erin Mallon's other audiobooks and have always been impressed. Both narrators did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life, especially Rupert Channing in the more emotional scenes.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did laugh quite a bit (loved Walter!), but I didn't cry. This is a lighter listen and was just what I was looking for.

Any additional comments?

I was frustrated with the characters for letting a misunderstanding derail their relationship so easily. It was hard to believe that 2 people who loved each other so much wouldn't try to talk to each other/get closure (no matter how hurt or angry they were). They were so young though, so it made some sense that they lacked the maturity to handle things appropriately. Overall, this was still an enjoyable listen with fantastic narrators!

A fantastically narrated second-chance romance

One More Time is the first audiobook that I’ve ever listened to, and I am blown away by everything about it. I never thought I’d be a fan of listening to books since I prefer to read the words and read the story in my own voice, but I actually really enjoyed listening to Erin Mallon and Rupert Channing narrate this super sweet, very sexy, light-hearted and heart-warming second-chance, Hollywood romance.

Ten years ago, Jenna Stahl and Tanner James were Janner – the “It” couple of Hollywood – until Tanner makes a mistake that splits them up in a very bad and public way. Now, for the first time in ten years, they’re reunited when they’re hired to be the leads in a romantic comedy. For Jenna, this movie is her big break in making the transition from model to actress, and so she’s determined to be nothing more than co-stars with Tanner, even though fans are seeing this movie as a “Janner” reunion. Yet for Tanner, he sees this movie as a way to reconnect with Jenna, and finally tell her his side of the story as to what it is that really happened that caused their breakup.

It did take me a while to warm up to listening to Erin and Rupert tell me this story, but they soon won me over and had me hooked to this audiobook with the way they both conveyed the emotion both Tanner and Jenna felt (to me) through just their voices alone. With Erin though, there were moments where I felt like she was rushing her words, even though I was listening to this story at the pace of 1.0X speed, but overall, I really enjoyed her performance, and I was blown away by her impression of Rupert/Tanner when it came to doing his voice during her chapters.

And speaking of Rupert… Holy mother of Australian accents! I read this book before listening to it, and as I read the story, I completely forgot that Tanner was Australian, but NO WAY could I forget that whilst listening to this audiobook; his accent was gorgeous, and I definitely felt like he paced this story better (for me) than Erin did, and he definitely pronounced his words clearer (for me) as he told me Tanner’s side of this story.

These characters had great chemistry, their story was amazing, and overall, I just absolutely adored this audiobook. One More Time is my first audiobook, but no way will it be my last, and I am now so excited to get started listening to more audiobooks very soon.
