I got Licked…and I enjoyed it too ;)

I think I spent the whole day with my mind in the gutter. Licked had the smutty in me smirking and giggling with my boasting going far and wide that I GOT LICKED. This book grabbed my attention a little while back with it’s bright and beautiful cover and catchy title. Then the chitter chatter started about this book that was funny, smutty and full of licking…ice-creams. Hmmm…very, very interesting, a highly successful business that caters to ice-cream lovers who don’t mind mixing it with a little bit of alcohol too. I can’t say I’ve seen too many stories set in an ice-cream shop. This is not your average ice-cream parlour though, Licked is pretty much Adults Only. All of the ice-creams have naughty names and meanings behind them.

Ryleigh is an individual and has been her whole life. She loves the fashion, music, and movies of the 50’s and 60’s. Even when she was in high school she dressed in vintage type clothing with halter tops, swing skirts or pencil skirts with a flip at the bottom and high-heeled pumps. It wasn’t easy to grow up different and for a little while, she tried to be like everyone else. It just didn’t suit her. The older Ryleigh got the more comfortable she became being original. She owned it and gained confidence in her individuality. Her best friends are her biggest supporters and like a family to her. They encourage her to return to her old high school for a 10-year reunion. She wants to see her high school crush Cameron and show him what he missed out on by ignoring her back then.

Funny thing is…Cameron saw her…and remembers her really well.

The romance portion of Licked is not straight forward. Ryleigh and Cameron connect at the reunion and it seems like there is great potential for this couple. Then Ryleigh meets Cameron’s roommate Hunter and she can’t get him out of her head. With her friends help, Ryleigh must make a decision on who she wants in her life. Her old crush who’s still hot and very sweet - O R - the sexy new guy who’s a contractor that ends up saving the day when Ryleigh needs some renovations done at Licked. Decisions, decisions? Ryleigh has HOT and SWEET on one hand and SEXY and LIFE-SAVER on the other?

I really enjoyed this story and got sucked in from the beginning to the end. I felt that the drama at the end was a little over the top, unnecessary and even a little rushed. The characters were easy to love and become attached too. I can’t wait for her friends to get their own story too.

Now that I’ve been Licked, it’s time to meet the Hooker.
