Seductive, steamy and sweet
One Last Time? Bad Boy Bachelors or Orange County Book 1 by Khardine Gray is a very well written, straight forward romance. In this book, Khardine Gray has created a tenuous situation that begins with Taylor and Dylan at odds. While Taylor’s stubbornness and Dylan’s reckless past is the antagonists.
I enjoyed the plot of this book’s couple and truly appreciated the straight forward romance of it. There’s a bit of conflict, however, it doesn’t distract from the characters or create too much havoc. Quite refreshing! The characters themselves are pretty great too. Both on a trajectory of success in their respective family businesses. With the combination of sweet, sexy, ultra-rich and down to earth, you really can’t go wrong with this one. Add in the amazing chemistry these two generate and now you can’t go wrong smoking hot.
Overall, a very enjoyable read with great characters that steam up the pages and get their HEA all around in the end.
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.
Talyor has been groomed to take over her father’s company, unlike her sisters, for years. She thinks all is well until her dad drops Dylan, the hot guy from the bar, into her life. Dylan has been hired as a consultant to “look over” what Taylor is doing before her hands over his company to her. Dylan is trying to live up to his dead brother’s memory and impress his father so he can move ahead in their family business….as long as he keeps away from the clients! One look at Taylor and he knows he may not be able to keep that promise to his father. Their chemistry is off the charts and as intense as their barbs are during the day it pales in comparison to them after work! They both have their on emotional baggage they need to deal with, but the journey they take until they figure out when they truly want is fantastic! I’m loving this series!
I love a good bad boy finds his true love story. This was such a fun story to read, although there were a few portions that were more serious. Loved the characters and the humor in the story.
Dylan was the quintessential bad boy and even cost his father’s company a large sum of money by sleeping one of their client’s daughters. Now he has one last chance to prove himself. Seems like it will be simple, until he meets Taylor. From the opening scene, you just knew there was going to be trouble between the two of them. The attraction between Dylan and Taylor jumped off the pages. What was to be one night together, ended up leading to more.
Dylan and Taylor also shared father’s that expected a lot of them and both of them had to work hard to live up to the expectations. Both of them had to learn to “talk” to their fathers.
Khardine Gray is a fav of mine, especially her Mafia books! This is the story of a hard-working daughter of a billionaire, 28-year-old Taylor, who has followed in her father’s footsteps and hopes to take over the latest in his empire, the PR firm he has grown himself. Her father is still hesitant and hired Dylan for a 10-week consultancy gig to see what she could improve. Unfortunately, they met the night before as Taylor was bemoaning her choice of men. The circumstances of that meet have Dylan mishandling their working relationship. He also has a lot on the line to prove himself to his father, having cost his father millions by taking to bed the daughter of a former client and investor. Lots of chemistry, family love, laughs and tears, on the way to a happy ending!
Man I was surprised with this book..I dont remember if I had read from this author or not, but it doesn’t matter because I know that I would continue to read regardless.. Taylor works in PR for her dads company and is being groomed to take over for it, everyone in her family is doing good and she is going to prove herself, so imagine her surprise when her dad brings in outside help. Dylan works for the company that they brought in and he also needs to prove to his father that he can take over the family and that he is no longer the bad boy, but both him and Taylor what not expecting the other and man o man, excitement….Grab a copy and enjoy!

I enjoyed Dylan and Taylor’s romance. I thought that the chemistry was great, the story fun and the characters likable. The forbidden angle of their relationship added lots of tension, while the hidden similarities they were dealing with added a bit of the awww factor to the read. A very good start to this new series and a very entertaining book.
The great storyline and the off the charts HOT chemistry between Dylan and Taylor kept me turning the pages until the very end!
ONE LAST TIME is the first instalment in Khardine Gray’s contemporary, adult The Bad Boy Bachelors of Orange County erotic, romance series. This is twenty-eight year old, PR specialist Taylor Cartwright, and thirty-two year old, consultant Dylan Patterson’s story line.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Dylan and Taylor) ONE LAST TIME follows the forbidden relationship between twenty-eight year old, PR specialist Taylor Cartwright, and thirty-two year old, consultant Dylan Patterson. Peter Cartwright had been considering handing over the reigns of Cartwright Enterprises to his daughter Taylor but first, Peter hired consultant Dylan Patterson of Patterson Inc, in an effort to clean up and trim down Taylor’s work spending. Taylor believing her father doesn’t have any faith in his second eldest daughter, struggles with the measure Dylan is about to undertake. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Dylan and Taylor, and the potential fall-out as Dylan is forced to make a decision regarding his relationship with Taylor Cartwright.
Dylan Patterson is the black sheep of the family believing himself not worthy of his father’s love and support. With a reputation as a bit of a manwh*re especially as it involves sleeping with clients, Dylan finds himself in another compromising position when he begins to develop feelings for Taylor Cartwright.
The relationship between Taylor and Dylan begins acrimoniously as Taylor struggles with her father’s ‘efforts’ to ensure Taylor is worthy of taking over the family business. Having met under less than ideal circumstances, Taylor and Dylan’s relationship is both personal and professional but their private relationship is about to be exposed. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Taylor’s sisters: Abby, Mia and Vanessa; Abby’s best friend Gilman Hawkins; their father Peter Cartwright; as well as Dylan’s father.
ONE LAST TIME is a story of family, acceptance and forgiveness. The premise is engaging and captivating; the characters are energetic and colorful; the romance is seductive and hot. ONE LAST TIME is a wonderful start to the author’s Bad Boy Bachelors of Orange County series.
This author has to be one of the best in building up a sexy scene, and creating the intense chemistry to pull it off. I liked the way Taylor was introduced as being the high powered society heiress with a sweet and trusting soul. By the time she met Dylan, she had already been taken advantage of by both of her attempted love relationships. Disillusioned with her lack of ability to spot a user, her focus was on her job and proving to her father that she was competent to take over her firm.
This office dilemma with Dylan hired to be her consultant to improve her performance came with a lot of baggage and hurt for Taylor. Dylan had a lot to lose with allowing his attraction for Taylor to win over professionalism as well.
I loved the over the top passion they shared that had them both risking everything for each other.
This office romance was super hot and graphically intense!
