One grumpy billionaire.
One sassy-sweet supermodel.
Add in a tropical private island paradise.
What could go wrong?
As owner and CEO of Dirty Dare Spirits, thirty-three year old, Asher Dare has it all. Money. Power. Women whenever he wants. A private island retreat when he doesn’t. People he trusts? He can count those on one hand. When one of his best friends asks a favor—hide his twenty-one year old, supermodel sister, on the island until a scandal blows over—Asher can’t say no. But he doesn’t have to like it.
The daughter of a Senator and a Presidential candidate, Nicolette Bettencourt always acts with decorum. Yet through no fault of her own, scandal seems to follow her every move. When nude photos surface, the uproar puts her father’s campaign at risk. And forces her into hiding with Asher, the hottest—and grumpiest—billionaire she’s ever met.
Under soothing tropical breezes, Asher discovers that Nicolette is nothing like the spoiled brat portrayed in the tabloids. She’s warm, sexy, and a temptation Asher must resist at all costs—or he risks betraying his closest friend, bringing a powerful political dynasty to its knees… and losing the woman he loves.
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:
Just One Taste is the seventh book in The Kingston Family series by Carly Phillips, but it can be read as a stand-alone. The Kingston family is one of my favorite series and I was really excited about Asher and Nikki’s story. The book was well written, the pacing was perfect, and my attention was caught from the beginning.
Supermodel Nikki Bettencourt has had scandal attached to her name before but nude photos of herself in the media were more than she could handle. Her brother arranges for her to leave town and stay with his best friend on a private island until the scandal dies down.
Asher Dare couldn’t tell his best friend no when he asks Asher to hide his sister until her scandal dies down. He met her years prior and thought she was a spoiled snob and was creating scandals for attention. He was shocked to discover his impressions of her were wrong. She was intelligent, cheerful, and a temptation he needed to avoid.
Asher knew he needed to ignore the attraction he had towards Nikki. She was twelve years younger than him and his best friend’s little sister. But she lightened his days and he slowly falls in love with her as they spend time together. Nikki was tired of the modeling scene and all the backstabbing. She was ready for a change of career and leaving town gave her plenty of time to consider her future. Nikki and Asher were the perfect couple but can Asher overcome his hang-ups?
This is one of those books that is hard to put down and you want to keep reading until you get to the end. I loved watching Asher and Nikki help each other overcome their pasts. I was cheering for them all the way and hope to see them again in future books. This was another amazing book by the author, and I can’t wait for the next book.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
