In business circles, I’m known for being cutthroat and demanding. Robert Dumont is a hardass, they say. And it’s true. I thrive on challenges. Taking the family-owned restaurant chain to the next level is my passion.When my sister’s marriage implodes, I head back to New York, to be there for her and my niece. These are my only two priorities: growing the business and taking care of my family.My … of my family.
My new neighbor is a temptation I hadn’t counted on. Skye Winchester is bold, sensual and I just can’t keep my distance. I’m determined to make her mine. But once I’ve touched her, I want more. I want to worship her all night long.
As a business owner herself, Skye’s got enough on her plate. I was expecting her to run in the opposite direction when she realizes how complicated my life is. Instead, she does the opposite: making my sister laugh, charming my niece… She completely wins me over.
Neither of us expected our attraction to grow until it obscures everything but each other. And neither of us can afford to allow that. But how can we stop now?

* Perfect Stars
I absolutely love anything that Layla writes and especially when it involves tight knit families who are fun, sexy and romantic.
One Perfect Touch is the third story in the Very Irresistible Bachelor Series and is about the kind and selfless Skye Winchester. She meets Robert Dumont the well-known Restauranteur and Business Entrepreneur when she shows him the house for sale next door to hers. Their attraction to one another is instant but they do not act upon it immediately and fight to hide their feelings for each other. As their friendship grows so does their love for one another.
What they both have in common is their strong love and bond for their respective families and it was comforting to see the love and support they show toward them. I loved everything about the story between Robert and Skye. The secondary characters are wonderful and pivotal to the story.
Once again Layla has written a heart-warming sexy romance with characters you cannot get enough of.
The cover is beautiful,full of love!!! Im a huge fan of Layla Hagen and she has once again written an epic love story. Robert and Skye are both strong characters but they love family amd help one another in their dark times. I loved getting to know them and how they got their wonderful HEA! Must read!
Ok, there was a lot that I had issues with in this book. I am a product of a single mother. My husband is also a product of a single mother. They portray their mother as a strong woman who not only raised the 4 of them alone, but also raised their cousin. And she moved to NYC to raise them! So how come they state that, but then say that they had to take care of her like she was some weak woman when she had eye surgery? I get she couldn’t see, but come on. They treated her like she was a child? What strong single mother would act like a child? Just no…
Just not believable to me. And some parts the editing was off. It was just Rob, Skye and her mother. Then in the next paragraph her sister Tess is there, then gone again.
Not sure if I’ll read the next books. Maybe if I am out of something to read. Her books used to be more believable and I loved reading them. I might wait until and see.
I loved this fun, heartwarming, and sizzling romance! Rob and Skye meet when Rob buys the house next door to Skye. They are both successful business owners, and also very close with their families, making their lives busy and complicated. Their instant attraction, and fiery chemistry is new to both of them, and they are helpless not to act on it. Rob is so swoony, and romantic the way he pursues Skye. They have fun together, are supportive, and they connect with family members so easily, making them fall hard and fast for each other. Of course there are always complications with any relationship, and I loved the way they were handled with care, compassion, understanding, and little drama.
Narrators, Joe Arden, and Maxine Mitchell did a fabulous job bringing this story to life. I loved how they made each character come alive with their versatility and talent at voicing both male and female characters flawlessly. They convey so much emotion in their performances that they make this entertaining, and sizzling romance even more captivating.
Love at first sight?? Rob and Skye are two workaholics who are meant for each other. The problem
neither one is looking for love or a long term relationship. Rob moves to NYC to take care of his
sister and niece after his sister’s recent divorce. Rob owns a chain of restaurants and is working
all the time. Skye opened up a lingerie shop with her sister. The attraction that Rob feels for
Skye is not obvious to her. This is a sweet no cheating love story. Another great read by Layla
Hagen.

This narrating duo was great together again, but I do wish we’d had more chapters in Rob’s POV.
Story
I really love the neighbors turning into lovers trope, so I was excited to see just how Rob and Skye’s romance would develop. And, I’m also a francophile which means that I smiled in delight every time narrator Joe Arden spoke to Skye in French and she’d asked Rob what it meant in English. Squee!
The family issues both Rob and Skye fought to overcome balanced out their developing romance nicely and overall provided low drama which is always my preference. These two were quick to communicate and work through initial misunderstandings and insecurities.
I really cared about the supporting characters, and I liked how they added layers to the Rob and Skye’s lives thereby making this family romance series seem so warm, realistic and attractive. Chapter 31 has a cool surprise that not everyone would go for in real life I suspect but seemed so perfect to me.
Hopefully, there will be a Very Irresistible Bachelors book 4 soon which I plan to read via audiobook for sure. I’m looking forward to finding out who makes Cole leave the Bachelor Pack next. 😉
This is the third book in the Series, a standalone romance in the Series. I haven’t listened to the first audiobooks in the Series yet. Robert and Skye’s story is fun, sweet, sexy, and beautiful. They share an instant attration, and a sizzling chemistry. They are both great characters. Robert is handsome, and caring. Skye is beautiful, strong, and independent. I loved to follow them in their beautiful journey! This refreshing story, drama free, is the perfect Summer read. Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed it!
One Perfect Touch is perfect. It is a wonderful love story, Layla Hagen doesn’t disappoint. The chemistry between the characters is great and I just love that you continue to get glances into the lives of characters from previous stories and future stories. I love that they follow the lives of a family of sisters and brothers. You can’t go wrong reading any of these books.
Oh I enjoyed book 3 in the Very Irresistible Bachelors Series
Rob has moved from CA back to NY to be closer to his sister and niece who is recently divorced and seems to be struggling. He found someone to take his place running the West coast restaurants and he is taking back over in the East.
Skye his new neighbor is not what he expected, and she is the best thing to change up his world.
I love their attraction and both families.
Fabulous read as always from Layla.
Pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book! Robert relocates back to his hometown to help support and be closer to his sister after her divorce while also taking charge of the family business on the East Coast. Looking for a home close to his sister, he meets Skye, who is helping out her old neighbors by facilitating a tour and sale of the home. When the pair meet, sparks instantly fly and Skye seems to find herself tongue-tied and caught with her foot in her mouth and it is absolutely hilarious. Things seem to progress a little quickly for them, but it seems to be perfect for the couple, especially with their busy schedules. While I wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy the book, I found myself loving it so much I read it in one sitting! Overall, I really enjoyed the book and will definitely go back and read the previous ones in the series to catch myself up. I cannot wait for the rest of the characters stories!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I think I hate to say this but… One Perfect Touch might be my all-time favorite book by Layla Hagen. Rob and Skye just had everything from sizzling chemistry to both putting family before themselves. These two had a love connection that will fog up your e-reader along with having you giggling thru-out the book. I can’t wait to see the rest of the Winchester’s get their HEA and hopefully, Layla will give Rob’s sister a novella of her own.
Let me tell you one thing, I loved the previous book from the series I had a special spot in my heart for Ryker, Heather and little amazing Avery. But this book? It was a knocked down wonderful! Skye Winchester and Robert Dumond are a perfect fit, a team and more, their families are just as amazing as they are. You know two people that alone are good, but together they’re brilliant? Yeah Skye and Rob are like that.
Skye is such an amazing woman, with a gold heart, compassionate, beautiful and super family girl. Deep down she is a romantic, even when she says she isn’t, but due to her father trauma, she is afraid that everyone she loves eventually will leave her. But that doesn’t stop her to start a relationship with Rob.
Rob… first of all, ladies, if you find a guy like him, just keep and chain him somewhere so he can never leave. He is just so perfect! I swoon very hard over him. From the moment he set his eyes on Skye he knew he wanted her and then as their relationship grows you see the respect, love, friendship they have for each other. And Rob, they way he protect first his family and then later Skye’s family is utterly amazing.
I love their family and I just wish I get see more of his sister and sweet niece. Hope they have their own book too! And the Winchester family is also a reference of a good one, I love the siblings non-secret rule, it gives us a lot of laughing moments. But my favorite one is their mom, I have nothing but respect for her.
Also, LOVE the ending. They got the happy ending they deserve and it has a nice kick story for Tess and Cole books. So if you enjoy a romantic, funny, steamy and lovable book this one is for you.
Romantic. Hot. Passionate. Sexy.
These are all the words I would use to describe the newest story in the Irresistable Bachelors series by Layla Hagan. Skye Winchester is the next sibling in the series who falls hard for restaranteur and bachelor Robert Dumont. Their chemistry is evident from the start and there is no slow burn about this book. These two know what they want and are perfectly happy to make it known which worked for me. The story is enjoyable as all of Ms. Hagan’s books are. But what stands out for me is always the relationship with the background characters, in this case the Winchesters and Robert’s sister and niece. Their involvement with a dual POV allows us to get to know the characters more intimately.
I would have liked a little more conflict between the main characters but maybe that’s what makes it so romantic-knowing that both Skye and Robert get their mostly effortless happily ever after.
I can’t wait to read the next books in the series (look out Cole and Tess!). I also wouldn’t mind a story about Anne or Josie’s siblings but mostly because I’m not ready for this series to end!

Layla has done it again. Her brand of happily ever after just pulls you in and makes you wish you could stay forever. Rob and Skye were no exception. Their chemistry comes of the pages. Rob is just the right mix of sweet and swoon and sexy. Are girl Skye never stood a chance. Add in the ever present family dynamic and you have the perfect balance of romance and heart. I look forward to finding out who will be next to fall in love.
Robert’s immediate attraction to his new neighbor is somewhat of a change for him. He’s so used to working and focusing his all on his family’s empire that a fierce attraction to a sassy woman comes as a welcome surprise. One he intends on pursuing. But Skye’s schedule is as hectic as Robert’s so how can two workaholics make a relationship work?
As is usual in Layla’s writing, the main couple is awesome. He may be used to working non-stop, but once he sees Skye, he’s done for, and he never stops trying to show her just how he feels about her. Talk about a swoon worthy hero! And Skye is sassy and sweet with a heart as big as her name, who is the perfect heroine for Robert. A wonderful couple with a sweet and sexy story. Can’t wait for the next Very Irresistible Bachelor!
Another great addition to the Very Irresistible Bachelors Series. This is Skye’s story. In previous stories we have met Skye and knew that while she is a determined and VERY hard worker, she has a soft and hurting heart. It will take someone special to be her ‘person’. She helps her neighbors by selling their house, which is next door to hers, to Rob. Rob is a high powered CEO of his family’s business and we know he’s a good guy because he move across the country to be near his sister and niece after the breakup of her marriage. The two meet and it’s pretty strong chemistry between the two. It should be far more difficult for them to be together due to their crazy work schedules but both are willing to make the effort. Skye has some strong insecurities about being abandoned that Rob needs to deal with and he does a great job of showing her she is worth everything. We see cameos from her family and the other happy couples who have had stories come before hers. That’s nice! This is a good story of mature adults knowing what they want and treating their partner with respect and love that they deserve. Lots of sexy times!
While I love this series and this family this was not my favorite. For some reason I just could not connect to these characters like I have with characters in previous books. I think it is Rob that I just couldn’t connect with and I don’t really know why. He had all the right personality traits that I like, but I didn’t ‘feel’ their connection. Something was missing for me. I have really like Skye in previous books but even she was missing something for me. Ugh, not really sure why. I have read all of this author’s work and will continue to do so but this one isn’t one that I love. I received an ARC and this is my unbiased review
Out of all three books in the Very Irresistible Bachelors series, this one’s my favorite! I know I gave You’re The One 5 stars, and I did enjoy that book, but I like this one so much better! The writing is flawless, and the story just flows beautifully.
Rob is a sexy, confident alpha with a heart of gold, and Skye is a thoughtful, family-oriented businesswoman with a mild case of commitment phobia. I just loved how they were with each other- their chemistry, witty bantering, and the way they made time for each other despite their busy schedules. Other things I loved in this story was that there’s no unnecessary drama and the dynamics of both Rob and Skye’s families and how they all had each other’s backs.
One Perfect Touch is a contemporary billionaire romance written in dual first-person POV. It’s a low-angst standalone that ends with a HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.
I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
I LOVE LAYLA HAGEN!! One Perfect Touch is everything you know and love from Ms. Hagen! I devoured this book in one sitting! Robert and Skye’s story had so much chemistry! watching them get their HEA was amazing!! FIVE STARS!!
I received an ARC for an honest review.
I loved this story. Skye and Rob were totally unexpected but so natural. They had this immediate connection. Skye has been through a difficult relationship and Rob wasn’t looking for anything but fun but it turned into so much more when neither of them were looking.
Their relationship is sweet and sexy at the same time. They are a couple that you root for and only want the best for them. The unexpected ending could have been a shock to them both but they were genuinely happy and excited.
Loved catching up with the entire family and can’t wait until we get Cole and Tess’ stories!!
Are you ready for a feel good romance? This book had all the oohs and aahs of a sweet, happy romance. Skye wasn’t looking for love, she was just trying to be a nice person and help a neighbor out. Rob was looking to get himself closer to his sister and niece to be there for them. These two got so much more than they bargained for.
Rob was happy running the family business and striving to make it even better than it has been in the last two generations. Determined to make it something that the next generation would be proud to take on. But with family also so close to his heart he knew he needed to be there and be strong for his sister while going through her divorce. They have always been close. He certainly wasn’t expecting the sassy sexy neighbor who he couldn’t resist.
Skye has her hands full with her new business she was running with her sister. Helping it grow and thrive took up most of her time. Her large and connected family took up whatever spare time she had. She has struggled with the love and happiness of relationships after watching her family change and go through divorce. The last thing she was looking for was a happily ever after.
Will Rob be able to win her over? Will he convince her that love might be worth a chance? Will the surprises bring them closer together or tear them apart?
Can’t wait to see who is next on the married train?
