4.5 Star Review of One More Time by Laurelin Paige
AUDIO REVIEW:
Erin Mallon and Rupert Channing did a fantastic job narrating One More Time. Although I have listened to a Erin Mallon before, Rupert Changing was new to me.
I was cheering for Tanner and Jenna to get their second chance at love right this time. Ten years ago they were the “It” couple until they were torn apart by Tanner’s betrayal. Fast forward and it seems that they are both starring in a new romantic comedy, if only they can get through the shoot.
The chemistry between Tanner and Jenna is off the charts and the banter led to numerous laugh at loud moments. There is misunderstandings, pain and regret as Tanner and Jenna struggle to make peace with the past and in doing so forge a future together.
I love a good second chance romance and Laurelin Paige delivered it with One More Time! Tanner and Jenna had undeniable chemistry. There was definitely a lot of insecurities though. Watching them reconnect after so many years apart was sweet and incredibly sexy!
What happens when a Hollywood hottie falls in love with a model? Well, with all the publicity, staged hype, and others interfering in your relationship things can get pretty confusing, making the real impossible to determine. This is a second chance story.
Such an awesome second chance love story from Laurelin Paige! A fast-paced story is exactly what I hoped for, and I wasn’t disappointed. The characters are fun, their connection is emotional and passionate. I hated for the book to end.
Tanner won my heart in so many ways. On the surface he seems like another Hollywood bad boy who rose to fame and left a girl behind, but appearances are deceiving. Tanner is more selfless than most. He made a choice all those years ago and now he has a second chance. I loved his fierce fight to win Jenna back, to become “Janner” once again.
Jenna’s determined to make the most of the unbelievable acting opportunity she’s offered, even if it means working with Tanner after he hurt her unbearably. I loved her spirit, her sense of humor, her determination to make the best of it all. When sparks fly between the pair, she plans to remain emotionally detached…well, at least that’s her plan, lol.
Laurelin Paige has another hit with One More Time. Packed with her unique blend of passion, emotion, and wit, this is a terrific 5 star story. I absolutely recommend both the book and the audio book!
Great second chance romance
A really good read.
I loved Paul and Debbie as. Couple, other than when he was too stupid to get in touch with her. The storyline was good and it flowed very well. Enjoyed well developed characters including Debbie’s friends. Would be interesting to see how they expand on their relationship. Good read!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Fast-paced, steamy romance…4.5 stars!
What a surprisingly romantic, lovely read. This is Jenna and Tanner’s story of reconnection, a second chance at romance. It’s plenty steamy and sweet, as well. I loved every word. Laurelin Paige gives us wonderful characters that are engaging and likable.
Jenna and Tanner were a couple ten years ago, both in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles. Blake’s star shot to superstardom, making them the “it” couple in the L.A. social scene. An unfortunate miscommunication and error cause the breakup and it’s been a decade since, and neither one forgetting about the other.
Jenna’s a supermodel and her first break is starring in a new film, but the male lead happens to be her ex-boyfriend, Tanner. There is no avoiding each other, and Jenna is determined to fortify her feelings where Tanner is concerned. She never got over the humiliation of the breakup. There some great scenes between them in the film that is pretty entertaining and funny, also some angst and drama with these two trying to reconcile. One More Time is a definite must read and a winner for Laurelin Paige. I received and voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
I love these narrators…
I really enjoyed One More Time. It was a fairly short listen as I only downloaded to my phone this morning. Saying that, I did put in a little extra time as I was so desperate to see these characters work through their problems. It was the old…broke up because they didn’t talk their problems out. Sure, I get that you need to learn the value of communicating, but dear me, it would be a pleasure to read a romance now and again where that’s not the major plot point.
As an Aussie, I find it pretty amusing to hear people attempt to talk with an Aussie accent. Erin Mallon does a surprisingly good Aussie accent, but what was even more interesting, is that she does a fantastic male voice. I was even questioning whether it was her or Rupert in some of her scenes. Rupert is VERY easy to listen to. He has a clear Australian accent that’s not OTT and even reminds me a little of Chris Hemsworth. Considering that Erin and Rupert have never actually met, they make you feel like they’ve known each other for years and were working right beside each other. A great combination.
It’s always interesting to me to see how the famous people live. I absolutely LOVE that the author brings a bit of reality to their characters. They have to work at maintaining their bodies and follow a fairly strict diet too. It makes sense that something as simple as a trip to the beach would be a mistake. No, not for the paparazzi or security risks. One of the main reasons to avoid the beach…getting too much sun and either burning or tanning. Too much extra work for the makeup artists to cover up. So, maybe it’s not all glam and glitz being a movie star.
Once the problems of the past had been dealt with and this couple finally communicated with each other, they were perfect together. I enjoyed seeing their sweet romance play out.
I hope to hear more stories with Erin and Rupert narrating, in the future.
Another great book from one of my favorite authors. While it is always sad to read about the one that got away, it is gratifying when they find their way back to each other. Love the characters and their story.
One More Time is a Sexy, Totally HOT second chance romance. I usually don’t like movie star romances, but I had to give it a try because of who the author is. Laurelin is one of my favorite authors and boy does she know how to write some smoldering HOT AF scenes.
Tanner and Jenna’s chemistry is just so off the charts Hot. I liked these two better together than apart. I had issues with the way they just let their relationship go to crap the first time around, but second chance romances are always better the second time around.
Although this story started out slow for me and it took me a little bit to get into. I ended up liking it all in the end.
Happy Reading Everyone!!!
Once again Laurelin Paige has given us a fabulous and entertaining read.
One More Time is a second chance Hollywood romance that packs a punch. It has all the feels with some added humor along way. A good storyline and relatable characters makes this book a pleasure to read.
Tanner James and Jenna Stahl have past that is coming back 10 fold. Tanner a now famous movie star and Jenna a beautiful and successful model wanting to start a career in the film industry, were the toast of the town what feels like a lifetime ago. After a decade apart and now with the opportunity that has presented itself for them to work together, sparks will fly and there will be some very hot times ahead. The chemistry between the two is electric but they struggle with a past that has brought pain to both. Ultimately though they need to work through the pain of the past if they want to have a future together.
A refreshing read that has the right amount of everything. I throughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
One More Time was a wonderfully sweet second chance romance between Tanner and Jenna.
A quick yet very sexy read, there is no denying the incredible chemistry between these characters. The love the let go a decade ago still burns as bright as it did back then. Now that the movie their filming has a story parallel to their own, they were forced to work through those unhashed feeling from back then and try to get passed the hurt they’ve been living with. But with a connection as strong as theirs, closure wasn’t their end game.
Laurelin Paige delivered a wonderful happily-ever-after, second chance love with Tanner and Jenna. It wasn’t too emotional or over the top in the “heat” dept. It was the Goldilocks of romance…just right.
I bloody loved this book!! Such a fun read.
I have been on a dark and angsty kick of late so it was really refreshing to read a book that had me LOLing and smiling the whole way through. Tanner is DELICIOUS and I kinda loved Jenna too. Their history, their chemistry and their genuine affection poured off the page. I read this is one session (a late night but so worth it).
Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a believable, funny, sexy second chance story
One More Time is the lovely story of Tanner and Jenna.
Both are part of the Hollywood machine, Tanner an actor extraordinaire and Jenna a top fashion model whose “shelf life” is coming to an end and she is working hard to break into acting.
Jenna is such a sweet character, hates confrontation and loved Tanner madly ten years ago. Her bestie, Walter was phenomenal! Such a great side kick.
Tanner is suave, handsome with a heart of gold and never fell out of love with Jenna.
This story is fast paced, but so well done! The secondary characters were fabulous. The dialogue was witty and romantic and spot on! The bit of angst thrown in wasn’t overdone and flowed well with the story.
I can’t wait to see what fun story Lauren comes out with next!
Rating: 4.5/5
Years ago, Jenna and Tanner were the IT couple. Jenna was a model and Tanner was an upcoming actor who just got his big break. But things went south, and they went on their separate ways. Now, Jenna was again forced to see Tanner because of a movie that may helped her career. After years of trying to get in the movie industry, this was her chance to finally make it. She’s a big girl now, she can handle Tanner.
What she didn’t expect was the exact same chemistry that they have back then. Tanner was still stunning and still has the power to turn her world upside down.
What I least like:
The reason why they broke up the first place. I understand they were kids then, but it was more of a miscommunication issue that can be solved with a simple phone call or a short talk. Nevertheless, they both have their reasons why they finally let each other go. But still. (LOL)
What I love about this book:
The fact that it’s a second chance romance. We get to see some back stories, and even then you’d really know how much they care about each other, and how sad it was to let the relationship go. The pacing of the story. The chemistry between the two characters, it was just as explosive as ever. When they finally decided what they have was worth the fight (yeah, when they both decided to grow up). I love her best friend. It was just hilarious.
I enjoyed reading One More Time. I have always loved second-chance romance and this was just hit the spot. It was sweet, steamy, and fast-paced with characters you will fall in love with. Laurelin Paige sure knows how to make her readers squirm.
This is a great second chance romance story. It was fun and hot! Jenna is a supermodel who is getting her shot at being an actress after trying for a few years. She was offered the role of a lifetime with a big producer and a great story. The only catch is that her co-star is Tanner James, a big Hollywood actor who is also her ex boyfriend. Jenna has to decide if she can stand seeing Tanner again and show that she is over him after 10 years.
Tanner is hoping to get a chance to talk to Jenna while they are making this movie and explain the circumstances that happened 10 years ago that made Jenna leave him. Jenna and Tanner both realize that their feelings never went away but Jenna doesn’t trust Tanner after what happened. Being in close proximity to each other brings out their sexual chemistry and they both finally realize they can’t deny their feelings and Tanner gets a chance to explain to Jenna what happened. Both of them must decide if they can talk out their issues and see where their futures will lead them.
Jenna Stahl’s spent years waiting for her big break. The former ‘It’ girl of the modeling world would give almost anything to make it as an actress. When that break comes in the form of a leading role alongside Hollywood star Tanner James, though, Jenna has to decide just how big a sacrifice she’s willing to make. Because Jenna knows Tanner all too well, and some things just aren’t worth a second try.
Jenna and Tanner were the couple back in the day. Heck, they even had the combo name to show for it. But youth, gossip, and the machinations of Hollywood sent them their separate ways, very publicly and very unhappily. Fast forward ten years, and they’re together again. And, action!
I adore author Laurelin Paige. Her books are sexy, smart, steamy, and romantic, and I can’t get enough of them. ONE MORE TIME is probably one of my favorite of hers to date, with its second-chance love, strong sassy heroine, and a leading man with a heart of gold. The chemistry between Jenna and Tanner still burns white-hot, and, in typical Laurelin fashion, these two are dynamite. I loved not only the steamy parts, but the banter, the humor, the genuine affection that couldn’t be denied.
While I don’t always love coming of age stories, ONE MORE TIME is an exception, and one that I happily recommend for fans of contemporary romance. 4.5 heartwarmingly sexy second-chance stars for this one. And, while you’re clicking, the audiobook of this story is fantastic, with top-notch performances that make the story even more enjoyable. Whether you’re reading or listening (or both!), don’t miss ONE MORE TIME.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a cute read and kept me entertained. Jenna was funny, especially with her comebacks towards Tanner. I loved them together. Their chemistry was hot and right from the start, you knew they belonged together. Great book.
Jenna is a Model, it pays the bills but her true ambition has always been acting, now she has that chance. One huge problem, Tanner James, Hollywoods hottest property, will be her co-star. What’s the problem with that right? Tanner and Jenna USED to be Janner, Hollywoods Golden Couple, until they weren’t because he Cheated!!!! or did he? Now ten years later can Jenna really do this?
Omg this second chance romance, hit me in all the right spots. The chemistry between Tanner and Jenna had me seeking a fan!! Although in some ways its a light hearted read, it does also take you to some deep emotional issues!
I loved Jenna, even though her go to coping mechanism was to hide from things, failing that Run away !!! The way their relationship developed was just such addictive reading. I laughed, cried and wanted to throw my kindle at the wall, but i still didn’t want it to end!! I didn’t want to like Jenna, because Tanner, that’s a GUY you want for yourself !!!! Trust me, his talents do not end with acting !! I really enjoyed how this couple, grew and felt that they had become friends, rather than just characters to love. Definitely a book that needs to be one clicked !!!
