Loved Nikki and Asher. Just One Taste is the 7th book in The Kingston Family Series, and it’s the 3rd book in the Dirty Dares Series, but can read as a stand alone. This is a great age gap, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, opposites attract, best friends brother romance, with the touch of spice we all need in our lives. Nikki is a sassy, sweet, and misunderstood supermodel who is always being followed by scandal, and has to escape due to a privacy breach by the media. She doesn’t have the greatest family life, except for her brother who would move the earth for her. Asher Is a true alpha. He’s grumpy, Rich, bachelor, who gets what he wants when he wants. But he leads a lonely life, not ever being able to fully trust people. He’s put in a precarious position of lust, and temptation when he helps Nikki escape. They have this push pull, and chemistry but he stays away because of her brother, their age gap and his preconceived notions of her. As they got to know each other they let their walls down, get past the drama, slight angst, and his struggling feelings of falling in love, and we have a heartwarming and sweet romance. Great Read.

Asher ❤️ Nikki. Asher agrees to help his best friend Derek’s sister Nikki. She needed to get out of town for a while to hide from a public scandal. What he doesn’t realize is how he would feel after getting to know her. Nikki is grateful that Asher helped her get out of town, but is getting mixed messages from him. Their connection and chemistry are intense, but neither one is brave enough to reveal their true feelings. Asher brings out a strength in Nikki she wasn’t sure she would have again. Nikki brings out a fun side of Asher that he seemed to have lost. They complement each other’s personality in a supportive and positive way.

Sweet, sexy fun read!. Nikki and Asher are on an island escaping Nikki’s drama. Asher has seen her drama on occasion, since her brother is his best friend. He wants to stay clear of her because of her brother being his best friend, but also because of their age difference. But things happen, brothers and ages do not matter and they find their way to a HEA! I love Carly’s books. She blends sexy and sweet all into one amazing story!.

Excellent. Nikki is the daughter of a Senator and hopeful candidate for President of the United States, and model. She has always been a disappointment to her parents but is very close to her brother. She wakes up one morning to her phone blowing up. Pictures have been published of her asleep, naked in her bed. To escape the press and her humiliation, her brother asks his best friend to take her to his home on an island. Asher is a grumpy billionaire who was burnt bad by his ex girlfriend. Asher has met her once years ago and thinks she is a spoiled princess. He couldn’t be farther from the truth. He figures he’ll take her to his island and work while she does her own thing. But she wiggles her way into his heart but he is twelve years older than her and her brother is his best friend. Will she break down his walls and find the one meant for him? I absolutely loved this story. Sex. A little mystery. But I’ll tell you her parents are the worst. I didn’t like them at all. It made me mad reading how they treated her. A cute little dog. * Voluntarily read and reviewed this for Booksprout *. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Super hot couple. I've been waiting for Asher to have his story told, and I couldn't love it more. The man who has been diligent in caring for his younger siblings has been asked by his best friend to take care of his own younger sister. A very attractive, slightly sad and lonely...but with many hidden depths...12 years younger woman. Nikki needs a place to hide from the press after an invasion of privacy forces her from the city. While she doesn't really know Asher, she can absolutely recognize an attractive and interesting man when she sees one. But his mixed signals do nothing to bolster her confidence or assuage her loneliness while at his island home. But they are exactly what each other needs. Nikki needs someone besides brother Derek to have her back and to be both her friend, and more. And Asher needs this shot of adrenaline he feels when he's with Nikki to jump start a generous but guarded heart. While ignoring the age difference and the fact that he's Derek's best friend. I know I probably say it after every book in this series...but this is my favorite couple. I liked the relative absence of drama between the two themselves as the focus was the drama surrounding Nikki. Not that their own doubts and actions meant everything was smooth sailing...because how much fun would that be for the reader! Obviously, I'm now waiting for the next Kingston to get their HEA, but I'm also going to enjoy the joy that Just One Taste has brought to my book collection.

Fantastic story!!!!. Just One Taste is one of the best books I've ever read by Carly Phillips. I love the older brother’s best friend troupe, and Asher’s and Nikki’s story was done perfectly. Nikki Bettencourt wakes to discover someone has posted nude photos of her all over the internet. Even scarier than the photos alone, is the fact they were somehow taken in her bedroom. Her older brother Derek is ready to do everything possible to find out who and how the photos were taken. He enlists his friend Asher Dare to take Nikki to his private island to stay out of view until the press dies down a bit. Asher Dare has no desire whatsoever to take Nikki to the island, but owes Derek one, so he agrees. I absolutely loved that Asher was attracted to Nikki from the moment she arrived at the airport. He was such a perfectly grumpy hero trying to fight the attraction to one of his best friend’s little sister. No going to lie, I laughed out loud at his display of jealousy even as he tried to keep Nikki at arms length. Nikki is such a sweet woman. She sadly has only ever been able to count on her brother for family support, and has needed to be careful when trusting friends. Her parents are absolutely both horrible people as well as horrible parents. Nikki has never really had their support in anything, and they only ever thought of themselves. Once Asher let himself stop fighting his attraction I felt like they truly became not only lovers, but best friends. I loved they each opened up about their pasts, and were very protective of one another. They also couldn’t keep their hands off each other, and their chemistry was off the charts HOT!!!! Loved them as a couple so very much!!!! Nikki showed how strong she really was as she learned who was behind the photos, and how they had been taken. I loved that Asher believed in her, and her ability to handle the situation in the manner that she wanted. Asher had a few of his own issues to work through with his past. All the Dare children have some issues because of their biological mother abandoning them. As Asher was the oldest, he has always kept things bottled up, and it was so good to see him finally voice some of his feeling from the past with his dad. Just One Taste was a fantastic romance that takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride. I found myself sighing, laughing out loud, and crying both angry and happy tears. I loved every minute of this story and can’t wait to spend more time with these characters in future books. Rating: 5 Stars (A+) Review copy provided by publisher

Take a Chance!!. After photos of Nikki’s show up in a tabloid her brother Derek asked Asher Dare if his sister could escape to his island for a bit. Asher is reluctant but will help out his friend. I loved how they supported and believed in each other once Asher got over the age difference. They were just what each other needed!

Nikki And Asher. I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review. This was such an awesome story, and I really loved it so much. It stars Nikki who is the daughter of a politician and pics of her naked and asleep are published online. It terrifies her that she calls her brother for help, and he calls on his best friend, Asher for help and getting her away into a safe place. This is an age gap romance as Nikki is young at age 21 and Asher is 12 years older at age 33. But Nikki has been on her own a few years and is very mature for age. At first it was a big deal for Asher but as time goes by and he gets to know her, he kind of forgets about it. This is an enemy or frenemy storyline as Asher thinks Nikki is the silly teen, he remembers meeting years before. She thinks he is hot but also that he looks down on her. He is very grumpy, and her sunny personality really charms him despite himself. There is close proximity as well as Nikki is at the crossroads of her life and has to decide what she wants to do with her life after she leaves modeling. There is also suspense as the guys try and figure out who is after Nikki.

Just One Taste. A*R*C for honest review with no compensation Received from BookSprout Just One Taste is book 7 in the Kingston Family series by Carly Phillips and wow this series just keeps getting better! When Asher is asked by his best friend, Derek to look after his sister, Nicolette when some unsavory photos show up on social media that send her into a tailspin but Asher knows he can’t say no to helping.. What happens when these to fly to Asher’s private island..age gap romance, hot steamy scenes, resist temptation or not, tears, laughter and so much more…

There’s just something about Asher Dare…. This is book 7 in the Kingston Family series and it features Asher Dare and Nicolette “Nikki”Bettencourt. This poor girl can’t ever catch a break and she’s nothing but a kind person. A beautiful, mature, 21 year old woman with an old soul. It doesn’t take long for Asher to see all of this in her but her brother is a good friend of his. Can he cross that line if it’s love? Fantastic story line but the characters stole the show! Asher and Nikki are amazing characters and totally deserve to share a life together. The mystery was intriguing but the end result wasn’t really a surprise. I would read it all over, just to watch their romance bloom again. I love all the Dare’s but there’s something special about Asher.

Just One Taste ( A Kingston Family Dirty Dare Story book 7 ) by Carly Phillips. Wow another great story in the Dare Family series . Asher Dare was asked by his best friend to help his sister through a scandal . This is Asher and Nikki’s story and a very heartwarming and a very happy ending for these two . I highly recommend this book .

The best in each other!. I really enjoyed reading Nikki and Asher’s story. It’s not always easy reading an age gap situation but Ms Phillips makes it work. They both had difficult childhoods. Asher never really dealt with his mother’s mental illness or her suicide and Nikki has never dealt with her mother’s coldness and overbearing attitude. When a situation forces them to live together, they find that they have a lot in common and it brings out the best of each other. This was an easy read and was over way too quickly.

Just one Taste. Awesome book, just like all the books in this series! Carly Phillips is the Beast author!

Loved it!. I’m usually not a fan of “age gap” stories where the man is significantly older that the woman, but in this case, Carly Phillips did a beautiful job writing a story with taste and passion. I surprised myself and really enjoyed this book! The connection between Asher and Nikki is deep and real. It’s not “immature” (which is usually the case on the woman’s part) like some stories that I’ve read and am not a fan of. I truly enjoyed Asher and Nikki’s story and I’m so happy for them! It was a very satisfying read! Loved it! Five stars!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Slow moving and sweet. This was an ‘age gap’ makes sense kind of book and doesn’t need to be a thing. I read the preview and didn’t buy it, but it bugged me for a year as to who was the person selling out and humiliating the heroine. Now that I did read it, I love that the hero came to realize that his BF would not kill him for loving his sister. After all, he trusted no one more in life to protect her. It’s always best to deal with things directly and no lie or avoid. And that an age gap is overcomeable if you don’t see it as an obstacle but something you can agree to work on. I love that this story was more on the low drama and high on the advocate for yourself spectrum.

4.25stars-emotional and entertaining. 4.25 stars—JUST ONE TASTE is the seventh instalment in Carly Phillips contemporary adult KINGSTON FAMILY erotic, romance series-a series interconnected with the author’s Dirty Dare /Dare Nation series. This is twenty-one year old model Nicolette ‘Nikki’ Bettencourt, and thirty three year old, owner of Dirty Dare Spirits Asher Dare’s story line. JUST ONE TASTE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Told from dual third person perspectives (Asher and Nicolette) JUST ONE TASTE follows the age-gap romance between twenty-one year old model Nicolette Bettencourt, and thirty three year old, owner of Dirty Dare Spirits Asher Dare. A media scandal has forced Nicolette Bettencourt into hiding. A series of nude images focusing on our story line heroine have been published, and her parents run for the White House is now in question. With the help of her older and over protective brother Derek, and his best friend, CEO of Dirty Dare Spirits Asher Dare, Nicolette finds herself on a private island, under the care of the man with whom she will fall in love. As Asher’s brothers begins a deep dive into what happened and why, Asher finds himself falling for a woman of whom he has been told to stay clear. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Asher and Nicolette, and the potential fall-out as Nicolette prepares to move on by herself. Asher Dare doesn’t do relationships, and finds himself both put out and intrigued by his island companion. In an effort to keep things temporary, Asher proposes time together but to go their separate ways upon their return home. Nikki Bettencourt has always found herself second or third ‘banana’ behind her parents’ aspirations, a trophy to be looked at and admired, but a black mark on their fight towards political control. After another disappointing and embarrassing media scandal, Nicolette finds herself pushed further to the back realizing that to move forward means to move forward alone. The relationship between Asher and Nicolette begins as forced proximity but quickly turns into something more. Asher has been warned not to cross the line with his best friend’s younger sister, and Nicolette wants the support and comfort she never got at home. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text. There is are large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters: Asher’s parents Serenity and Michael Dare; his brothers Harrison and Zach; as well as the introduction of Nikki’s brother Derek, and their parents Senator Corbin and Collette Bettencourt; island housekeeper Maggie and her son Corey; and Nikki’s friend Winter Capwell. Winter and Harrison’s story line is next. JUST ONE TASTE is a story of betrayal and jealousy, family and friendships, love and acceptance. The premise is emotional and entertaining; the romance is provocative and steamy; the character are struggling but determined and dynamic.
