4.5 Smooches!
Synopsis
As the owner of Licked, an eclectic ice creamery and bar, Ryleigh Phillips doesn’t have time for that love stuff. Serving up Nibble My Nuts sundaes and Drunken Sailor boozy shakes are as close to an orgasmic affair as she’s had in months thanks to her expanding empire—until the night of her ten-year high school reunion.
When Ryleigh’s crush, gorgeous ex-football god Cameron Mathis, comes streaking into her life (literally—streaking), she begins to wonder if she really can have it all.
Wouldn’t it just figure that the moment you think life is perfect is when it falls spectacularly apart?
Enter Hunter Morgan, the contractor in charge of Licked’s renovations. Devastatingly handsome, and a smartass to boot, he’s got his eyes on Ryleigh from the moment he finds her passed out on his couch (yeah, that’s a long story). There’s just one tiny complication—he happens to be Cameron’s best friend.
When the lines between relationships and friendships blur, and it’s impossible to choose between two delicious flavors, what’s a girl to do? Taste a sample of each? Or go out and get LICKED?
Review
I swear that Brooke Blaine is winning me over more and more with every book that I read of hers. Her writing is hilarious and quirky. Her heroines are likable and kind of ridiculous and Ryleigh is no different. What a fabulous romantic comedy.
“I think I need to change.”
“No, you looks great.”
“I meant my panties.”
There are some seriously laugh out moments in Licked. All of the different ice-cream flavors and combinations. The funny antics and things that Ryleigh and her friends do and say. The dates that do not work out for some crazy reason. Combine that with the two hot heroes of this story and you really do have a win.
‘If I were truly honest with myself, which guy would I choose? The man I’d always wanted? Or the man I’d never forget?’
Ok basically the premise of this book is that Ryleigh, shy and kind of a weirdo in high school is now a cool sexy business owning adult and she wants to go back to her high school reunion and impress her forever ago crush, Cameron Mathis, and finally get him to notice her. And he does but so does his sexy as sin roommate, Hunter. Whew, both of these guys are swoony but you can tell right away who is the right one for Ryleigh even if she is somewhat in denial about it. LOL
“I’m keeping you.”
This book really is a fun and romantic comedy complete with a bit of love triangle and delicious and sexy ice-cream. If you are a fan of Tara Sieve’s Seduction and Snacks series I think that you will definitely love this one! I got Licked and I loved it! But I definitely need for Ms. Blaine to write me a book for a certain amazing best friend who deserves his HEA too!
