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?

I needed this story
One Perfect Touch was the perfect mix of
Character interaction –
The dynamics between the characters? Spot on.
Heartfelt fun –
This goes back to the dynamics. The interplay between the cast was so tangent … I loved the banter – the teasing – the support
A little heart-wrenching –
Not in a heavy angst way just a little bit of betrayal and/or loss that connected our MC’s
OCD –
Robert, I could only dream of having my life so organized
Family –
This was a clincher for me. Hagen somehow made me a part of this.
The chemistry between our two MC’s is pretty instant.
Ever been in a room and someone catches your attention and you can actually feel their presence? That is what happened here and it works so beautifully. Even I could feel the magnetic push and pull.
Skye is one of those lead females in many ways I relate to. She is very goal and family-oriented. She knows she can accomplish anything but she also has that little voice that at times needs to be swatted back — Way back.
Her zest for life just made her that much more driven.
Robert was such an OCD case – Not in a bad way I guess and I can see how he would need that extra feeling of control to balance work and home. He was almost the perfect book boyfriend
I strongly recommend this journey.
A relaxing romance that tickles all the “feels”
Humor – Romance – Family – Love
I was so excited to finally read Skye’s story. Rob was the perfect companion for her. Both owning their own businesses they worked well together and understood the commitment it takes to have a great relationship and build your empire. There was great chemistry between the two of them. I really hope Rob’s sister gets a story too.
I adored Skye and Rob, they had an instant connection and adorably awkward start to their relationship.
They had an get to know each other time before diving into the physical side of their connection and I could feel their chemistry becoming more intense with every interaction. They shared their feelings their happiness and their fears, I loved that this couple no unnecessary drama. Their flirty banter and the swoon level of Rob was outstanding.
As always with a Layla Hagen book you get to visit with previous characters and spend time with the close-knit families that pull you in and make you feel like they are your very own. I love the dynamics of the siblings and their banter they can go from being silly to serious at the drop of a hat when they need to and without question step up to help each other.
I can’t wait to see who the next bachelor is to fall in love.
Robert and Skye are another incredible couple from Layla Hagen! They are real, they have amazing chemistry and I loved watching them grow together.
What I love is the Robert was all in- he felt for Skye and never waived. I really enjoy these families and supporting characters. Ready Layla Hagen makes me smile and believe in happily ever after.
I received a free ARC copy of this book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This book is the 3rd in a series but it also easily stands alone. It is fantastic. Its about two people who are neighbors who end up falling in love. They are both very busy people with deep ties to their family and they find each other, I absolutely loved this story because they are so there for each other.
Skye runs a new business with her sister and is very close to her family. She has not been lucky at love until she meets Robert dumont. Robert is from LA but is moving back to NY and he needs a place close to his now divorced sister and niece. He meets Skye and he realises how special she is and they start dating.
They both have some big work and family commitments but I loved watching them figure out how to be supportive of each other and make their lives mesh. This was a wonderful story about love of family and making a relationship work even when outside forces make it more complicated.
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
This book is so cute! Ok don’t cringe yet. It is really cute. You have this ball buster restaurant owner who turns into a ball of mush around his niece. He meets Skye when she’s showing him her neighbor’s house that’s for sale. Which he buys because who wouldn’t buy a house based on the hotty next door?
Robert and Skye’s relationship is so fun. They have a blast doing things together and learning how to love and trust each other.
I enjoyed reading this book. I think you will too. It’s just the refreshing love story you were looking for!
Skye and Rob’s story was great. I loved the interactions between all the characters, and the way the author writes them, I feel like I know them. I am really looking forward to reading Tess’s story, oh, and Cole’s.
This is the 3rd book in this series and is Robert and Skye’s story. Robert loves nothing more than taking care of his family and their family owned restaurant, and when his sister needs him, he moves to be closer to her and his niece. Skye is a business owner as well with her lingerie business, and she is Rob’s next-door neighbour when he moves. This is a beautifully written story which is sweet, entertaining, emotional, passionate, and a heart-warming and steamy read. I cannot wait to read more form this talented author, and I highly recommend her work for all readers.
Wow! This was one amazing read that got me so enamored. I’m so hooked with Rob and Skye that thoughts about them still linger on; and kept me wanting, craving for more, days after reading the last page. I guess the effects of Covid19 lockdown increased my insatiable desire to just read on and on, read more pages and never wanting it to end. I LOVE ROB AND SKYE SO MUCH!!! Fell hard and fast for both of them. I couldn’t stop smiling and feeling giddy right from the moment they met. Thank you so much Layla for the arc. You totally outdid yourself again. You always give us storylines that are relatable and would captivate our hearts instantly.
This is the third book in the Very Irresistible Bachelor series and I still couldn’t get enough of the Winchester family. Every book that gets added just keeps getting better and better. It’s the magic that Layla casts upon me that keeps me begging for more of these guys and makes me fall deeper for them as the series grows. I love that Layla not only lets us fall in love with the hero and heroine but also the secondary characters. Having met Skye in the first two books got me so excited to finally know more about her and fall in love with her man as she falls in love with him. And Wow!! Rob was just the perfect match for Skye. The instant attraction got me so excited. I couldn’t flip the pages fast enough to read about their next encounter.
Rob was everything I ever wanted in a book boyfriend, so honest, straightforward, caring, loving and most of all, thoughtful. Rob being so thoughtful was what made me fall hard for him. I’ve always had a soft spot for guys who knows his girl’s needs without her saying it. It’s like knowing she’s your soulmate and somehow you have this strong connection and you know what would make her happy and feel loved. Rob did many things for Skye that made my heart melt and was swooning constantly. I felt his love for Skye even before he said “I love you”. I had butterflies in my stomach whenever Rob was so sweet to Skye. But oh boy! I was sweating and my heart skipped a beat with the sexy scenes. You did an amazing job Layla! You got me super excited!!!
This book is kinda “the” book for or me. It has all the ingredients that I always love in my books. Hot and sexy alpha, loving and caring males. Strong-willed, loving and knows-what-she-want females. Storyline with kids by single parents, and most of all, a loving family that would do everything to make life easier for all of them. It’s like being part of the Winchester family. They were always welcoming to new acquaintances and made them feel loved.
I highly recommend One Perfect Touch. A light read that would make you feel loved and wish you had a family like the Winchester. Books like this are what we need to be reading right now with all the pandemic and chaos in the world. I’m pretty sure you’re going to fall in love with Rob and Skye and the rest of the gang with One Perfect Touch to your heart. Now, I’m off to counting the days till, I will be reunited with my favorite book family. Love, love, LOVE this book SO !MUCH!!!
Skye and Lindsey are always working as they build their lingerie business. Opening a store is so rewarding but also takes a lot of time. But she finds time to help her neighbors when they need to sell their home quickly. She is stunned when Rob walks in to see the house, not expecting this extremely hot man to walk through the door. Rob is shocked by his reaction to Skye when he tours the property. What he really doesn’t expect is that he can’t keep his mind off of her. He doesn’t do relationships, so busy running the family business but he finds himself pursuing her. These two share a drive to take of their family. They are also very driven to be successful with their businesses. Skye is afraid of commitment, fearing anyone she might love with leave like her father. Will Rob be up to the task of breaking down that barrier with her? Will he realize that there is more to life than his work? These two have a super sexy connection that steams up the kindle! I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
One Perfect touch is like a cool breeze on a hot summer day- invigorating, relaxing, refreshing. It is an expected breath of fresh air that soothes the soul. Layla has given us another feel good treat, book that just makes you feel happy.
In this third installment of the Irresistible Bachelor’s series (which can be read as standalones) we get to meet restaurateur Rob, the sweet brother who is relocating back to NY from LA to support his sister as she goes through a divorce. His path quickly crosses with the adorable Skye Winchester, sister/cousin of our men from books 1 and 2. Skye owns a lingerie business with her sister, but she’s helping her neighbors sell their house- Rob is an interested buyer, they have a sweet and subtle spark, and the rest is, as they say, history. We watch two incredibly likable characters-they are mature, caring, dedicated and genuine-find their match when they least expect it. You can’t help but root for them- and together, they are sublimely charming. Our story is about how they steadily integrate each other into one another’s lives- including getting time with their adorable family families, highlighting LH’s love for creating wonderful family structures- and here they make the story that much more endearing and add complexity to our characters.
The plot isn’t action oriented or urgent in pace- we have a steady unfolding of the day-to-day moments that build a relationship- small flirty interactions, dates after work, texts and phone calls, meeting each other’s families. Plus, some yummy steamy scenes- these two are hot! The chemistry is subtle, which I actually enjoyed- their is a believable interest, but we don’t start to see how perfect they are for each other until they start to get to know each other- and then it just seems like they’ve always been together, a naturally and progressive “clicking” that sneaks up on us, and on them.
What I love about Layla Hagen’s book is that the love story feels so natural- it just feels normal. She paints a story with a realistic stroke. She gives us a meaningful spark, and then she just allows it to organically kindle quietly and seamlessly through the lens of day to day living. Her stories feel so relatable- and realistic, and that is what makes them so endearing, so charming. This story is basically zero drama, minimal angst, and WOW, that was a nice change of pace for me. Basically our only real “conflict” is just the challenges of real adult life- demanding jobs, family obligations, re-constructing the patterns of your day to day (especially when you’ve been single for a while) to make space for someone else, to account for someone else. THAT is real, THAT is authentic to the experience of falling in love. And, I love how she lets our characters be mature adults- they are in their early 30’s, respected professionals- so they COMMUNICATE with each other, they communicate with their friends, their relationship is healthy and supportive. Some may say that seems predictable, but in a sea of romance books bursting at the seams with action and angst (which I love, too), it actually isn’t at all. We just get to observe the quiet beauty of how people fall in love, subconsciously and intentionally-without any external clutter.
This was the perfect escape- I got all the sweet emotions, had my warm fuzzies, got to get my steamy heat, and had an easy and smooth ride to my fulfilling and adorable HEA. And that ending- ADORABLE. If you’re looking for a sweet, realistic, low-drama romance that just warms your heart, grab this story (or any LH book)- you’ll just FEEL good.
I loved every single thing about this book!! Amazing lead characters in Rob & Skye, sweet tender moments, steamy sexy moments, funny moments and so many other memorable moments. The supporting characters are also wonderful. It’s nice to read a love story that is just that, a love story. Layla Hagen takes me away yet again on the wings of a beautiful journey to a HEA. No drama, just a nice heartwarming story of two people who have amazing chemistry and so much in common. They love their families and would do anything for them and vice versa. I love how Rob shows his devotion to his family when he leaves his primo job at his family’s LA company to head up the NY branch of the company to be close to his sister and niece so he can watch out for them after her divorce. Good thing too because that is how he meets Skye. They are perfect for each other! I love this couple!
This was my absolute favorite book from this series so far ( Sorry Hunter and Ryker).
First off this story had no drama. It is an insta attraction with incredible chemistry between Rob and Skye. They are two people who just seem to click and though both are wary of settling down neither fight it.
I love this family series. I love all the characters so much and cannot wait to delve into their stories.
**I was generously provided with an advanced readers copy of this book exchange for my fair and honest review.**
My bookshelf anxiously awaits every new character. My emotions are drawn to each and every word. Hagen continues to top my favorites list with her heartwarming characters, inspirational families and addictive storytelling. Robert and Skye are just one reason why I can’t walk away. Funny, sexy, sassy and emotional. One Perfect Touch sets the bar a little high and proves to be up to the challenge.
I am fairly new to Layla Hagen but I have quickly become a huge fan of her writing and the stories she creates, especially when it involves tight knit families who are fun, sexy and romantic. It’s effortlessly easy to fall in love with her characters and I always lose myself in reading her stories. One Perfect Touch was an terrific, heartfelt story with swoon worthy romance, hot and steamy scenes, family oriented and a cast of wonderful characters. The story flowed so beautifully and I couldn’t put it down. I loved every word.
I loved everything about Robert and Skye’s love story. They fall flawlessly in love with each other with instant and sparkling chemistry, great conversations and romantic dates. Their relationship is so hot and passionate. I was so captivated by their beautiful romance that I didn’t want it to end.
This book is low on angst but big on the feels! It totally had me swooning and smiling the entire time. It’s a very sweet, easy and extremely feel good read with a surprise happy ending. I am so looking forward to reading more from this wonderful series!
Book 3 in the Very Irresistible Bachelors Series and this is Skye Winchester and Robert(Rob) Dumont’s story and boy do they have a tale to tell. Ms Hagen once again drew me in from the first page and didn’t let me go until I had read the final line, her characters are adorable, her writing is strong and her storyline’s are captivating. If you are looking for a entertaining read that will leave you smiling like a Cheshire Cat look no further than One Perfect Touch.
Rob is a man we would all love to have on our arm, he is hot , a true alpha , kind and caring and Skye is the perfect match for him, she is strong and sassy and she knows what she wants and more importantly she isn’t afraid to go after it. The chemistry is intense and sizzling, the banter is natural and witty and I’m sure like me you will love everything about this gem of a read, so all that’s left for me to say is please one click this must read. This is a book with all the feels and a entertaining read.
This was an easy to read, light and heartwarming read.
Rob and Skye were so adorable together.
Typical of Layla Hagen’s work, there was plenty of steam, playfulness and a few surprises along the way.
4.5 stars
What starts off as a chance encounter to help sell her neighbors house, Skye and Robert feel an instant attraction. Although they both have jobs that take up a majority of their time they squeeze together just enough time to see if the spark will explode or fade. Can you really fall in love in an instant? Will the stars align and bring together two people who have lived only for their jobs? With characters the reader cannot help but want to see find their HEA this was a great read. Skye was a favorite from other stories in the series and it was great to see her find true love. I cannot wait to read her sister’s romance.
Wow, yet another winner for Layla, you will fall in love with Rob & Skye! So romantic and passionate, no matter how hard he tries to stay away he can’t! 5 stars for this one!
Rob is moving to the suburbs of New York to be closer to his sister and her daughter after a messy divorce. He’s been looking at homes to buy but can’t seem to find the right one. While viewing one house, he’s intrigued by who he thinks is the realtor, Skye, and he over hears a conversation of her telling someone sexy things about him! From that moment on he’s hooked.
Follow along with their story, you will love these two! Layla once again hits all the warm fuzzy feels you will experience while reading this!!
I am a Layla Hagen’s fan! Her writing style is so romantic and delicate, even in the sexy scenes! This book is the third of this series (but you can read it as a standalone if you will, but you will miss all the wonderful two prior books…).
This one is about Skye… She and her sisters are entrepreneurs and are partners in a lingerie shop located at Soho in NYC, they have great chemistry and work a lot of hours. In addition to that Skye is helping some neighbors in selling their next-door house since they are in need of a quick selling.
Little did she know that her next neighbor will be Robert, a great guy, also works a lot and cooks so great! They are the perfect match. Their story is so sweet and sexy with a little spice that will make you want to read the book until the last page at once.
I loved this book!
