Just One Touch (The Touch Saga Book 1)


Preview — Just One Touch by C. I should have known this would happen Nothing about my fraternity was ever simple. Parties, tequila — tons of tequila — and wild souvenirs from our kind of crazy. A prank that backfired and left me squealing in pain. Well, I went to the ER, and yes, my manhood was involved. Let me just say I gained absolutely no pleasure from it. Unless, of course, you consider that sweet nurse who treated me.

I was gonna enjoy this She saw, she conquered, and I was defeated. All it took was just one touch, and oh, what a ride it was. To see what your friends thought of this book, please sign up.

I have relished every cleverly amusing installment of this series.

CA Harms has a wicked sense of humo Favorite Quotes: CA Harms has a wicked sense of humor and I adore her brand of sassy levity, spirited banter, and naughty hijinks. The storylines were sweet, heart squeezing, and relevant while the characters were endearing and adorable. I needed a fun read and this quick and engaging read was more than timely. What a sweet story. This story has a bit of insta-love in it and that is not usually my kind of read. But this book is just so sweet, that I can handle the insta-love.

Emelie automatically dismisses Clayton because she believes he is a player. He is a frat-boy and she believes they are all the same. Clayton is attracted to Emelie from the moment he sees her. When she dismisses him, he takes that as a challenge. Emelie has trust issues. Emelie has a hard life.

Mainly, Clayton wants to love Emelie and he hopes she will love him back. But can Emelie love someone after everything she has been through? How can she trust someone when everyone else in her life, besides her best-friend, has let her down? This is a really sweet story. I usually read books that are darker but this is just the kind of read I needed this weekend. Nov 20, Danny rated it it was amazing Shelves: A bond between a guy and a child. It was breathtaking how Clayton bonded with Ethan and how that was incredible to Emelie.

What is Kobo Super Points?

I just can't do this anymore. Plot was weak, no character development. This story had a lot of angst in it, so my heart was squeezed a lot. She enables her characters to be witty, sassy, sweet, sexy, strong and independent all at once. Clayton actually had a sensitive side, which I found quite surprising. Now, I will add the caveat that it's possible past books gave more background on him but I read those ages ago.

I should feel weak and vulnerable, but instead I felt powerful and indestructible. Palmer and Corbin are a disaster waiting to happen. A beautiful one, off course. Emelie gets her first good look at Clayton when he shows up in her ER after a prank super gluing his hands goes wrong and a very different appendage gets caught in the disaster. None of that with this author, thankfully. Emelie and Clay were phenomenal. Yes, a few frat-style antics ensued, but both of these characters were complex and deep with a strength, character and maturity that was refreshing to find in this genre.

The conflict was representative of the way life tends to get messy all on its own, and Clay and Emelie's reactions were realistic and refreshingly honest, which only served to make me love them more. The true talent of CA Harms is that she can create realistically flawed and abundantly endearing characters without the typical props used by many YA authors. She relies on real-life situations to provide drama, conflict and angst, and the characters come out on the other side having learned and grown with their relationship more solidly cemented.

The characters effortlessly draw in the reader, winning her heart with their authenticity, light-heartedness and strength. Jun 20, Ruby Ap. Recommended to Ruby by: Been reading author's work since the beginning. This is the third book in this series and it keeps getting better each time: This story is about single mom, Emelie and one of the jokesters' of the frat house, Clayton. Their first encounter and interaction was funny as hell as well as awkward too but it was the start of pursuit of Emelie by Clayton, who is not put off by Emelie's constant rejections, yet she has her reasons I kind of understood Emelie's point of view that she needed to protect her adorable son, Ethan, since his own biologic This is the third book in this series and it keeps getting better each time: I kind of understood Emelie's point of view that she needed to protect her adorable son, Ethan, since his own biological father rejected them both since the beginning and signed off his rights to Ethan and with that guy, there's a major twist that caught me by surprise and so will you because neither of us would have expected it to be who it was but I wouldn't want to live in the frat house either after Clayton finds out nor would I want to visit if I were Emelie either, but anyways, getting sidetracked here, like I said before, I understood Emelie's hesitance but not all men are like "the one who shall remain unnamed" aka Ethan's technically sperm donor since Emelie did everything on her own.

The Oh' Tequila series is back with its third standalone installment and it is not one to be missed. Just One Touch was brilliantly written and expertly told and our favorite frat brothers are back as another finds love when he's least expecting it.

V marked it as to-read Shelves: My favorite of the series so far!! I loved seeing these characters become more because of each other.

Clayton honestly never made any dumb moves, in fact he worked hard to show Emelie that she could trust her and Ethan's hearts with him. Em was just trying so hard to please the wrong people, ignoring her own wants and needs in the process. I have to say I love Em's best friend Palmer!!! Can Clayton get Em to give him a chance? Will her past destroy her future? I will say, I still wouldn't fall as My favorite of the series so far!! I will say, I still wouldn't fall asleep in this frat house!

My heart hurt for Emelie and everything she had been through, but it definitely made her the amazing woman that she was now. Well, seeing how smitten he was with her and Ethan had me swooning!

This will have you laughing , hot , and all around amazing read that I highly suggest alone with the series.

Jun 22, Djg rated it liked it Shelves: It was sweet and romantic and I liked the characters. I needed a little more story, a little more couple time on page but a good story from one of my favorite authors. This is book three in the Oh Tequila series and each can be read as a standalone. While you do see crossover characters you are never felt left out of anything that may occur at this fraternity house and boy these antics and pranks just keep getting better and more hilarious OK even more ouch-full too as you read each book in this series.

I fell in love with each book and characters, but for some reason I have to say while all the others had a touching story this one melted my heart a little m This is book three in the Oh Tequila series and each can be read as a standalone. I fell in love with each book and characters, but for some reason I have to say while all the others had a touching story this one melted my heart a little more. Emelie is the ER nurse and oh the things she sees is something many people would be embarrassed to know they just became a story in the making after she tends to them.

You may even tear a time or two with her story. Palmer her BF is a true and faithful friend to Emelie. I love her as an author and one of these days I will get a chance to read all her books not just some of each series. Jun 20, BookAddict rated it it was amazing. No one is more shocked that Clayton when the ER nurse assisting the doctor is none other than the pretty girl who shares some of his college classes, never stopping back to talk to friends Now if only get the same examination from her that the doctor is giving his junk!

After spending hours on her feet on a night shift, the last thing Emelie wants is to have to deal with a flirty, frat boy. Even if he is attractive. She will not be distracted by a pretty, accident prone party boy. Clayton is so much more than just a frat boy This book was not only filled with truly comedic moments, between Clayton and his frat mates and their girlfriends..

Moments between Clayton and Emelie Their developing relationship was sweet.. Jun 20, Jennifer Pierson rated it it was amazing. I can say this, that I will read them over and over again throughout the years, because they are that amazing. And yes, they are written by one of my favorites of all times, C. But let me get to it. Clayton is part of the crazies frat on campus in my opinion. Their pranks frankly, have me laughing until tears are streaming from my eyes, and that's how he really meets Emelie, when a prank gone wrong lands him in the ER.

Of course, it has to do with his manhood, so yeah, it's quite the meeting. He's always had his eye on her, but she's so serious, that she's never given him the time of day, in fact, she's acted like she's hated him, but she's the student nurse on duty, so now she's seen all of him. That opens some doors, but he still can't quite get her to talk to him. Until he runs into her at the laundromat, and learns that she's a single mother. Her little boy loves him instantly, and that finally opens the doors, because he shows her that not all men are like the one who fathered her son.

This story had a lot of angst in it, so my heart was squeezed a lot. So the cast of secondaries really added serious humor to balance out the serious. There was of course drama, since Emelie has some baggage, which came in the form of some twists that got the f-bombs dropping. Funny, poignant, intense and romantic. CA Harms does it again-more successfully than ever. Each of these books in the series gets better as we see the characters become fully developed personalities, and the frat house family gets bigger.

I literally cried for Emelie and her situation, especially during the most moving scene with Clay in the laundromat. And, with each chapter I fell even more in love with Clay. CA Harms created the most loving of males from the remnants of a hideous frat boy, who even by his own admission, says his mother would be disgusted with. I enjoyed every page of this book, and hit it in one sitting.

Guaranteed great reading, seriously. Hilarious and sexy - perfect combination I'm loving the Oh Tequila series, and Just One Touch is definitely the best of the series so far. Harms' humour really shines through with this one. She enables her characters to be witty, sassy, sweet, sexy, strong and independent all at once.

Just One Touch. Book 5 in the Slow Burn Series. Raised in trust and her heart . Because with just one touch, Isaac knows he wants Jenna to be his—forever. 1 USA Today and New York Times bestselling author Maya Banks continues her suspenseful and sizzling Slow Burn series with the fifth book featuring the men.

This is Emelie and Clayton's story and it is brilliant. This is not an instalove story and I think that's what I really enjoyed about it. Emelie is an ER nurse, and she just happens to be on duty when Clayton ar Hilarious and sexy - perfect combination I'm loving the Oh Tequila series, and Just One Touch is definitely the best of the series so far. Emelie is an ER nurse, and she just happens to be on duty when Clayton arrives, thanks to a prank pulled by his brother's girlfriend. Look, I love insta-love. I truly don't mind that trope which I know is a huge problem for some people.

Banks takes it to the next level. In every single boo Review posted on Got Fiction? In every single book I've ever read by her, the hero instantly loves her and wants to protect her. Okay, I'm cool with that That's his way of loving and protecting her. The women become doormats. That's not love, nor is it romantic.

Read my review of Keep Me Safe to see how I feel about her latest books. I'm not going to summarize it, but I will say that her heroines have become naive to the point of stupidity. I mean how did they ever dress and brush their teeth and eat food without the hero helping her do it?

Her heroes are not heroes to me. They bulldoze into their heroines' lives and take over every single decision and independent thought they could possibly have. I'm breaking up with her. I just can't do this anymore. It's painful to read. View all 9 comments. Jun 09, Mrs. Perkins rated it did not like it.

Requires total suspension of disbelief. I mean, she's been living with a cult since she was four, but knows what a Goodwill store is?? Furthermore, the relationship just develops too quickly. It made me so uncomfortable for her to go from being"owned" by a cult and drug lord to being "owned" by Issac. Lots of repetitive writing, as well.

I skipped whole pages where the author just said the same thing over and over again. May 17, ErinMickC rated it it was ok Shelves: In the beginning of the book, Jenna gets reintroduced into society after over 20 years of captivity by a cult since she was four years old. Upon her escape from the cult, she finds herself stealing Isaac's car.

The rest of the book revolves around Isaac trying to keep Jenna safe and Jenna trying to find a way to keep Isaac and the rest of the DSS crew This book was The rest of the book revolves around Isaac trying to keep Jenna safe and Jenna trying to find a way to keep Isaac and the rest of the DSS crew out of her troubles. What bothered me most about this book was Jenna's ability to function.

She was locked up for 20 years! Yes, besides a freak out when she first sees a TV, Jenna seems fairly normal in this book. She speaks in full, eloquent sentences and even tackles driving pretty easily. Also, Isaac doesn't know anything about Jenna when they meet and first start to feel out a relationship. He doesn't know her age he repeatedly wonders if she's even legal , he doesn't know what her damage is Even when Isaac and Jenna talk about Jenna's past with the cult and how she's so excited to be free, he still worries a lot about how he can keep her with him he contemplates tying her up and getting her pregnant.

Beyond Jenna's problematic reintroduction into society and Isaac's selfishness, this book also isn't anything ground-breaking for Maya Banks fans. Isaac's paragraphs and paragraphs of dialogue about his unending love for Jenna could have been spoken by any number of Banks heroes. Jenna's gift of healing others seems to strongly resemble Grace's gift from the KGI series. I wanted to love this book with the same passion that I have for most other Maya Banks books.

This one fell way, way short for me though. Copy for review provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Sep 06, Lyndi W. I started reading this a few days ago and gave up. Tried again while I have a free hour and I'm giving up again. The basic plot is interesting, but since chapter two it's been nothing but "Oh baby, I know we just met but you're my reason for breathing. I'll do anything to make you happy. I love you so much! And Jenna is a mass of contradictions. She's weak, then she's stubbornly strong. She's ignorant and brainwashed, then she's a sassy sarcastic I started reading this a few days ago and gave up.

She's ignorant and brainwashed, then she's a sassy sarcastic woman. But I don't like her. The hero is legit fantasy porn. They're in love within 24 hours and flowers are blooming out their buttholes when they look into each other's eyes. Maya Banks went way overboard here. Every corny thing ever said about loving a woman so deeply, about wanting to be a better man, about the love of a good woman changing everything about a man Did I already say it's fucking awful?

Because it's fucking awful. I wasted 37 minutes of my single hour of free time on this shit. In the first couple of pages, this incredibly sheltered woman who we find out later didn't know what a television was managed to drive off in a truck with a manual transmission. I struggled to finish this and am sorry I wasted my time doing so. Jun 01, Meghan rated it did not like it. Disappointed I love Maya Banks but this novel was terrible. I ignored all the other negative reviews and bought it anyways, i wish i didn't spend the money.

It felt soo rushed and ridiculous i ended up just skimming the pages just to make it to the end.

See a Problem?

Jun 17, Danna Hinton rated it did not like it. This was my first Banks novel and my last Banks novel. I haphazardly purchased this at an airport prior to vacation. This was one of the worst books I have ever read. Plot was weak, no character development. Cursing on every other page. I finished it but I lost brain cells in the process. Sep 17, Cheryl rated it did not like it Shelves: You can't protect me.

Reward Yourself

Some more implied intimacy and sexy talk. I love you I'll protect you. Oh, and I'll keep you pregnant and having love babies. I guess you really can protect me. I should have DNFd it. May 24, Andrea rated it it was ok. Did Maya Banks really write this? I was shocked at how fluffy this novel was, and not in a warm and fuzzy way but in a redundant this story could be told in 40 pages had it been edited way.

Not to mention the number of time God was mentioned in the story I counted Just a dissapointment because I've loved Maya Banks early works and her latest works have not been the same quality. Jun 20, LInda L rated it did not like it. This book was terrible - I can't begin to enumerate the ways. The main characters managed to make me hate them pretty quickly -- Jenna was a crybaby and Isaac was stupid. I did not read any of Banks previous books and have no plans to. This one was MORE than enough. Really, one star is too much. Jun 22, Kiley Kerr rated it did not like it.

Oh my, what did I actually think? This book started off with a bang and I was immediately pulled into this world Maya Banks created.

Just One Touch (Slow Burn, #5) by Maya Banks

But then it kind of died off. With little character development and a lot of repetitive phrases, I began page skimming to simply finish the book. I was slightly creeped out by the epilogue as well. May 29, Deb rated it did not like it. I can't believe all the people who rated it high. This book is so bad and so far over the top. Jenna adjust to the real world far too easily. Isaac falls too fast for Jenna, and he doesn't even know her age, she could be a minor. Maya Banks has definitely written.

Don't waste your time or money. Jun 09, arabia rated it liked it Shelves: As is unfortunately becoming a long-established habit of Ms. Banks, Just One Touch had the hero falling deeply, madly, irrevocably in love with the heroine within a quarter of a second of being in her presence. During this time, Isaac gathers his band of merry men together to come up with a plan for her safety, and quickly dashes her off to a safe house, where he, as he watches over her, contemplates the following: He settled in, pulling her closer until they were skin to skin, and he closed his eyes thinking he was fucked.

Well and truly fucked Reluctantly, Isaac extricated himself, slowly missing her warmth and softness. Oh yeah, he was fucked in a big way And hope[d] to hell she wouldn't resist him becoming a very permanent fixture in her life. Inevitably, she wakes up from her slumber, noticing that Isaac has settled in next to her in bed because he just couldn't help himself: She went rigid and pulled away, her eyes slowly opening, but it gutted him when her gaze settled on him and panic swamped her entire face.

She immediately began scrambling backward on the bed.

Try Not To Laugh Challenge #15

Yeah, I would think so! If I had passed out, woken up in a stranger's home in a stranger's bed, noticing I'm suddenly wearing clothes that aren't mine so obviously I'd been undressed at some point , I'd at the very least be screaming bloody murder. Who in their right mind would think it's okay to jump in a traumatized woman's bed while she was unconscious?! Well, Isaac, of course! But instead of common sense finally seeping into his love-struck brain, he again contemplates the following: She nibbled nervously on her bottom lip, and he'd never been more tempted to suck that lip between his and soothe the damage she was currently doing to it.

And he still didn't even know her name, much less her story. Okay, so we've established that this girl is a mystery, and now finally Isaac himself realizes that, hey, he still doesn't know Sleeping Beauty's real name! So explain to me how he's so "well and truly fucked" to the point he's probably already naming their future kids?! To compound what's already becoming an annoying habit of the author's, she can't help but repeat the same word -- "angel" -- a total of 61 times! I get that he's "in love" and wants to use the term of endearment for her, but yeesh There were sentences like this: And yet she was an angel in a world that had shown her no mercy.

An angel with broken wings just dying to fly. And in case you didn't get enough: Isaac had called her an angel -- his angel -- in a tone of awe that made her think he truly did see her as an angel Aside from all of that, there were also lines like this: Her tops needed to be oversized, at least two sizes too large so they showed nothing of her curves.

She'd long cursed her ample breasts, curved hips and plump ass that men seemed to like staring after with a look in their eyes that scared her almost as much as the elders did. I know for a fact that this can't be true. I get that this is a book of fiction, and that in any book the author should be given a certain amount of creative license, but I learned the hard way that when you go hungry -- and mind you, this woman was starved on several occasions throughout her life -- that you will lose cup size s from your naturally large breasts.

Personally, I seriously dislike reading lines like that because it never fails to always take me out of the book. I don't understand it, I don't particularly like it, but I've been reading her books for so long at this point that stopping now seems like something I wouldn't do. But ye've been warned: This book is insta-love on steroids. May 22, Becca rated it really liked it. This series by Maya Banks is one of my favorites. It's just the right amount of suspense and paranormal to keep you riveted. And I devour the books as soon as they hit my eReader.

Jenna is on the run. She was raised in a cult, sheltered from the world around her. So when she makes a run to leave, you doesn't quite know what to expect from the outside world. She hold a special power, that she's been abused because of. She is quite naive, which plays up to her charm through the book and hooks our h This series by Maya Banks is one of my favorites.

She is quite naive, which plays up to her charm through the book and hooks our hero, Isaac. Isaac in the past books has been a mystery. He's a solitary person and so we really get to see the real Isaac in this book. The two instantly make a connection. The book is full of surprises, suspense and a steamy love story. All the things you come to expect from a Maya Banks book. I would recommend reading the rest of the series first, just so you get a better understanding of the security firm, all of the secondary characters I've typically loved Maya Banks's books and I hate that I'm rating this one so poorly but I really did not like this book.

DSS agent Isaac Washington is shocked to find someone trying to steal his SUV and he's even more surprised when he confronts the person and finds its a scared, battered woman. Before he can adjust his thinking, all hell breaks loose and next thing he knows he's shot and dying. Then, to his shock, the mysterious woman places her hands on him and heals the mor I've typically loved Maya Banks's books and I hate that I'm rating this one so poorly but I really did not like this book. Then, to his shock, the mysterious woman places her hands on him and heals the mortal wound in his chest.

From that moment on, Isaac vows to protect her with his life. For Jenna, all she wants is her freedom and she's horrified that her choices may lead to the suffering of others. But she can't escape the protective reach of Isaac and DSS.

They are bound and determined to save her from the evil man who wants her for his own. Fifth book in the Slow Burn series. There are a lot of running characters and references to past books, but I wouldn't say it would be impossible to read this one first or on it's own. There's no continuing storyline. I don't like writing a critical review, especially when it's for an author that I generally love and who is an auto-buy for me. But yeah, I did not like anything about this book. I could have easily rated it 1-star but I gave it a bonus star simply because this is not typical for this author.

My biggest problem with this book was the discrepancy in details. Jenna was kidnapped around 4 years old and held captive by a cult for at least 20 years. She was basically kept in seclusion and treated like a leper. She has little knowledge of the outside world and modern conveniences or anything that is just normal to the rest of us. So I expected a good portion of the story to be the learning process Jenna faces as she tries to assimilate into the real world and that just doesn't happy. Here and there it's addressed but overall it's largely ignored. Honestly, given the background that is built for Jenna I would have expected her character to be much stunted developmentally.

I mean, I hardly think the cult people would have educated her and I would have expected the lack of positive emotional support and social interactions to have had a much greater effect on her. But other than a reaction to the TV and learning about food, her characterization doesn't fit at all with what we're told about her. It adds another level of unbelievably to the story. I also had characterization issues with Isaac - on several levels. First, the character is horribly undeveloped. By the time you finish you know almost nothing about him. There are a few very vague references a couple times in the book to some past suffering, possibly being an alcoholic but the reader never gets a clear picture of who Isaac is.

Where is he from? Are his parents alive? What happened to him in the past? There's nothing concrete about him prior to the start of this story. Now, I will add the caveat that it's possible past books gave more background on him but I read those ages ago. I don't remember at all what may or may not have been revealed about him. And if the author did develop the character more in past books, it still should have been part of this one.

If you are reading them as they are released, the average reader isn't going to remember details about a secondary character a year or two later. This lack of development for Isaac, though, really kept me from getting into the character. Aside from that, he's a total over-the-top alpha ass throughout the story. Jenna has just escaped 20 years of hell being controlled and abused by a cult and Isaac takes one look at her and goes all controlling he-man. He is all 'she's mine,' 'you belong to me,' and when he starts talking about keeping her pregnant all the time so she can't get away from him I almost threw the book across the room.

I get that he wanted to protect her and love her, but his thoughts, actions and words were just too much given the things that Jenna had been through. It was completely unromantic for me. And the romance itself? There's the insta-devotion for Isaac which I could have dealt with if the story hadn't devolved into super sappy, mushy, sugary-sweet ramblings and professions of love that just made me roll my eyes.

I'm not the biggest fan of super sappy anyway and I didn't like it at all here. It didn't fit the tone of the story either. When I'm reading romantic suspense I don't want to read devotional soliloquys between the characters. From a storyline standpoint the book was okay. I could nit-pick over the fact that the premise of the storyline is basically a repeat of other storylines in this series - female character has special power and an evil person wants her to exploit the power.

I would have preferred some variation in the storylines but it wasn't a book-killer for me. I did find it to be a rather slow moving story with just a lot of sitting around and repetition, not enough development and action. What happens toward the end was so obviously a set up and that you had a group of badass agents fall for it was TSTL. It was like there was a big flashing neon sign screaming set up and they all fell for it. Given the danger Jenna was in, why was she put in that situation anyway, even if it wasn't a set up?

Again, TSTL on all characters parts. And why were all the women there? That made no sense at all to me. Then the finale seemed overly simplified. I just expected more from the plot of this book. It wasn't horrible but by far not the best I've read. I also think there could have been a little more time spent on the set up of DSS - what it is, who founded it, why, what they do, etc. There was a little bit too much of a reliance on the readers have read - and remembered - everything from past books.

Lastly, one of the things that bugged me most about this book was that there were these insanely long chunks of internal monologue - like pages long. Primarily with Isaac thinking obsessively about Jenna - what an angel she is, how he plans to keep her forever and ever, how he'll do anything to protect her, how he'd never survive if anything happened to her. There was also Jenna thinking endlessly about her situation, how she doesn't want anyone hurt because of her, yadda yadda. Between the two of them, there's so much repetitive dead space in this book spent on their internal thoughts that it bored me to death.

I can't count how many times I put the book down during these chunks because I was so bored from reading the same thoughts over and over and over again. It also signified the overall lack of action in the story. I admit that I did start to skim read some of these chunks as the book went on.

I wish I could give a few good points to the story but there really wasn't anything that jumps out as me as something I enjoyed. I honestly was just glad to finish it. I expected so much more from a Maya Banks book. I will continue to read the series as I'm greatly hoping this book was an aberration. I know the author has multiple series going and also that she's been going through some very serious health problems which makes me feel like a jerk for writing such a negative review I apologize to the author for the critical but honest review!
