Blog Tour + Review + Excerpt | One More Time by Laurelin Paige --> 4 Stars
TITLE: One More Time AUTHOR: Laurelin Paige GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: May 2nd, 2018
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 co-
star. 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?
Narrated by Erin Mallon & Rupert Channing
⭐️ 4 "Second Chance" Stars ⭐️
One More Time is a sweet and sexy second chance romance that I truly enjoyed! Laurelin Paige created interesting characters with lots of chemistry and steamy moments filled with emotions too!
Jenna Stahl is given the chance of her life when she’s hired to play a first role in an upcoming romantic comedy. The downside? Her co-star is Tanner James, the man who broke her heart ten years earlier. Jenna tries to stay strong and unaffected when she’s with Tanner, but the more time she passes with him she realizes there’s still something between them. Tanner is still really affected by Jenna and regrets ever letting her go. It’s so clear in every chapter in his point of view that Jenna has still so much power over him!
Their intense connection isn’t only on screen and they soon jump into bed together again. These scenes are absolutely scorching hot! Being in a physical relationship only brings them even closer emotionally and this time they want to make things right!
I felt the whole reason for their break up was a little weak. With more communication, Jenna and Tanner could have been resolved it easily. Otherwise, this lovely and steamy hot romance was satisfying. I had a great time reading One More Time!

“Today meant nothing,” I say. “Our past is in the past.”
“Totally in the past. But when I’m working with you…”
I feel myself inch closer to him. “... what?”
“Sometimes I can’t tell where we leave off and our characters begin.” Is he sitting nearer than he was a few seconds ago?
“I know. I feel the same way,” I confess, and then I’m definitely moving closer to him. Definitely staring at his lips. We’re like two magnets. Simply telling them to stay apart never stops the pull.
“But that’s the job, right?” he says, and his eyes are on my mouth now.
I nod. “We have to put everything aside and just focus on the work.”
“Right. Yes. I can do that.” He’s so close we’re almost touching. Then he reaches his hand out and places it on my thigh. I feel a chill run up my body, and I close my eyes. The warm, heavy feeling of his hand is so familiar and so exciting at once. “Can you do that?”
The honest answer is that I don’t know. I open my eyes and find him staring at me. I get lost in his stare. For a moment, we hesitate.
Then the next thing I know, my lips are pressed against his and his tongue is finding its way inside my mouth. I don’t know who started it, but neither of us can deny this is what we both want in this moment. Have wanted since this afternoon. Maybe since we first saw each other outside craft services two weeks ago.
He cradles my face between his hands and shifts me closer, as though afraid I’ll break our connection.
But I’m not going anywhere. I want more. I swing my leg over to straddle him, so I can press my hips into his pelvis. I groan when I feel how hard he is, groan with the need that’s already built up unbearably between my thighs. I rock back and forth, desperate. Only a few scraps of cloth stand between us, but they’re enough to frustrate me.
He stands up, me still astride him, then he tosses me onto my back in front of him. He kneels on the ground, and I’m lying on the couch of my trailer looking up at the ceiling, and a part of me is wondering how the hell this happened again. But a much louder part of me doesn’t want it to end before we’re both naked and screaming out all our unresolved anger in orgasm.
Before I have time to register what’s happening, I feel Tanner’s fingers creep up my thighs and under my panties. He plays with me, teasing before he plunges two fingers inside my body.
I gasp in surprise and delight.
This. This is what I need.
I let my thighs fall farther apart, giving him all the access he wants. Tanner dances and swirls his fingers around, first deep inside me and then up to brush my clit. I grip the couch, nearly paralyzed in anticipation. My legs begin to shake, and I can’t remember my own name anymore. All I can think about is how incredible this feels, and how, improbably, he’s become even more talented at touching a woman over the years. Holy shit.
I’ve never been fingered like this before.
He leaves one hand to work every centimeter of my clit then takes the other and dances it up and down the inside of my thighs until I’m crying out. His free hand covers my mouth, but that doesn’t help. It isn’t until he stills that I quiet, although my hips are still rocking greedily, trying to get what I want from his fingers.
“Sshh,” he says, “Someone might still be around.”
“I don’t care,” I moan, and, in the moment, I swear I don’t. Let everyone hear how glorious this is. Tanner grins as he presses his fingers back inside me, bending them and twisting them, showing off more moves that get my body pulsing and my pussy soaking wet.
I’m going to come. I’m so close. “Fuck, Tanner, yes…”
“Yes,” he growls, and that’s all it takes to send me flying over the edge into ecstasy.
... just as someone knocks on the trailer door.
