ARC received for an honest review

I adored Ms Blaine's first book, Flash Point, so the chance to read Licked - no brainer.

Licked is such a different kind of story than Flash Point - but still amazing.

Love triangles, sexy construction workers, naughty-themed ice cream sundaes - what's not to love?

I know the "triangle" thing puts some people off, but it is not reaaally a love triangle per se. There is no cheating at all.

Ryleigh is my kind of woman. She is not your cookie cutter heroine. She is vintage. Classic.

Cameron is the guy she has crushed on since high school. He is perfect to her in every way.

Hunter is his best friend, sexy as sin - and the one she wants. And OMG, swoon!

This is a battle between Ryleigh's head and heart.

Licked is a sweet, sassy romance. There are some hilarious laugh out loud moments, as well as a couple of times where I may have sniffled (I wasn't crying, it's allergies!!)

It feels like paying homage to those classic 80's movies, had a John Hughes/Molly Ringwald oeuvre feel about it.

And any book that gives a shout out to Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion is a winner in my eyes!

So Ms Blaine, take a bow and wait for the slow clap to start, because you are on a winner with Licked.
