Sexy rock star. Curvy heroine. Campy storyline. Oh, and a sexy rock star. This is one for those who like it a little sappy but not too much. Like switching from glucose to saccharine.
Evelyn wakes up on a bathroom floor in Vegas, after a little hard partying for her 21st birthday, next to a half-naked man that she does not remember marrying. This man turns out to be the lead singer of Stage Dive, a popular rock band. Evelyn freaks out and runs away only to find herself front page news and seeking solace with her new husband. The campy part of the story ends there and the rest is formulaic but still entertaining. All of the fun elements of New Adult romance that readers enjoy.
David Ferris is the emotionally damaged rock star who married a girl that was different from all of the other girls he entertains. He is hot and has hot bandmates who are whimsical and sensitive. Malcolm is the lovable bandmate that welcomes Evelyn into David’s world in a “yanking your balls” kind of way. Readers will enjoy his comments. David on the other hand is all lust and desire. His bedroom antics are creative. SWOON-WORTHY COMMENT: “Topless Cuddles!”Yummy!
Evelyn is not the stereotypical hot chick that is clueless as to how hot she is. She is curvy in a way that garners some negative feedback. She gets picked on because of her curves. What makes her worth reading is how she handles the comments. Her asides are hilarious. Both characters have past demons they are trying to overcome and this does get in the way of their relationship but not with all of the angst that is typical of NA romance.
Lick (such a great name for a book) is an entertaining and quick read. I do recommend this one but I did find a few of the sex scenes to be stale. I am looking forward to the next book.
