Lick

Publisher's Summary

Waking up in Vegas was never meant to be like this.

Evelyn Thomas' plans for celebrating her 21st birthday in Las Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure never meant to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hangover to rival the black plague, a very attractive half-naked tattooed man in her room, and a diamond on her finger large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all happened.

In Kylie Scott's Lick, one thing is certain: Being married to one of the hottest rock stars on the planet is sure to be a wild ride.

This audiobook includes an excerpt from the first book in Kylie Scott's new Dive Bar series, Dirty.

Listen to Dirty.

4.5 Lickable Rock Stars!

First, I read this book on my kindle app and I decided to try it in audio. Either way, the story held my attention and I really enjoyed this 1st book in the series. This book begins with Evelyn going out for her 21st birthday, she wants to get a little wild, have a little fun. So she goes to Vegas with her best friend. The last thing she remembers is taking shots after midnight... the next morning she wakes up with a ring on her finger and a tattoo on her ass. And she can't remember a damn thing. Evelyn has her life mapped out. Getting married to a rockstar she just met on her 21st birthday is not part of that plan. David isn't happy that Evelyn doesn't remember anything. He married her for a reason, he fell for her right away, and now he doesn't know what to do about it. It’s a pretty messed up situation. Once the media catches wind of this its even more crazy. Eve and David go away for a bit to get away from the crowds and decide what to do. To divorce or not to divorce... that is the question. While at David’s home away, the couple starts to get to know one another. Evelyn realizes that she really likes David. She may even be falling for him. She is afraid to tell him her feelings. David still feels hurt and betrayed that Evelyn remembers nothing of their night together. One thing is pretty obvious... they both want each other. 
Once they go back to LA, everything changes. There are a lot of issues, miscommunications etc. Things get screwed up. It’s a little heart breaking. David & Eve spend some time apart.
Just a touch of drama and angst, but not overkill. A wonderful rockstar book that will keep a smile on your face!

Nothing can prepare you.

Within the first 40 minutes of this audio I was chuckling and laughing hard. Needless to say I kept going for the entire book. Very few authors get me so caught up in a book that I just want more so this was a nice bonus. I shall definitely be searching for more Kylie Scott books. I think Andi Arndt was perfect for this book. The combination of author and narrator is a big deal for me. I would rather read text than listen to a horrible narration. I will definitely be trying other books narrated by Andie Arndt as well. I am sure this will be a book I can listen to over again on those days when I can't find anything I like on audible!

Loving These Rock Gods!

I read this a few years ago but since I just decided to listen to the rest of series I thought I'd start from the beginning. I loved this story. The characters were great and even though David is a Rock God, he just seemed like a regular guy which I loved. There relationship's beginning was unconventional to say the least but I think that helped this feel like less of an Insta-Love story. The sex was hot, the love was sweet and the narration was perfect!!

Made an old woman feel young!

I'm not a twenty something like the characters, but I felt young and could relate to Evelyn. I loved the way Evelyn didn't take crap from David. I also loved that Ev has curves and that David loved those curves. We meet the whole band in this book, making want to read/listen to the others in the series. This book is not the best in the series; trust me they get better and better.

Vegas, Alcohol, and Weddings, Who Knew??????

Would you consider the audio edition of Lick to be better than the print version?

I did not read the print version, the audio version was awesome!

What other book might you compare Lick to and why?

Although I have read other rockstar love stories, Lick, was far better.

Did Andi Arndt do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

I was not impressed with her narration, especially when in the beginning it states that David had a deep voice but yet he sounded anything but.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to this book all in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

This book does not have a vast amount of devastating, emotional ups and downs, but it draws you in and keeps interested through out. It is a lovey story and well worth a credit.

So So yummy good!

Would you consider the audio edition of Lick to be better than the print version?

Yes because the narration was great. This was one hot listen!

What other book might you compare Lick to and why?

A lighter "erotic" version of backstage pass.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Eve and David connect in Monterrey. I loved this book- it had great romantic moments, great dialogue, witty banter, and sizzle!

Any additional comments?

Ready to read anything by Kylie Scott! I have now listened to this audio 2 times- it's that good! Don't start this book at night, cause if you do - I guarantee that you will not sleep.

GOLD.... PURE GOLD

I don't really want to use the same old words to describe this listen.... like touching, tender, romantic, passionate, hot, heartbreaking, captivating and enjoyable and it's not because it wasn't all those things but it's because it was oh so much more. This very well written, often funny and richly described plot told of a love story that reached great highs and bitter lows of emotion. From the cast of characters, the couple's budding romance, the loving hot sex scenes, the intense betrayal, the heartbreaking break-up to the first tentative steps to a HEA, it was simply beautiful, a joy to listen to and the close connection you felt towards the H/H's bitter-sweet story will stay with you long after the book is finished.

So, IMHO, before you start this listen (if possible) I suggest you clear your schedules, have a Take Out menu handy, give the remote and the dog lead to your other half (if you have one), arrange sleepovers for your kids, turn your phone off, just ignore anything else that may pop-up and then..... just sit back, close your eyes, picture each scene and enjoy the show.

Worth a credit? Errr..... that would be a Marching Band, Acrobats, Whistles, Jugglers, Balloons and lots of Floats each displaying a 7 ft high flashing neon sign saying YES.

Love this

Imagine waking up married to a sexy rock star. I don't want to spoil the story for anyone but it is quite a ride. I enjoyed it and I do plan to get the other books in the series. It captured my interest fom the beginning to end. So if you want to meet a new band, with three other unattached members whose stories we can look foward to; discover what happens after the Vegas wedding with this couple and all the "mess" they have to work through; if your a fan of rock star books; if you just like a good romance..LOL Then I think you'll like this book. It was a credit well spent.

Excellent Story!

I picked this book to read after breezing through the new Patrica Briggs novel. I admit I bought it for just something to read while waiting for the next book I wanted to be released and really wasn't expecting a lot... But I was surprised. Really surprised in a great way. I loved the characters. I loved the story....it was funny and smart.. It was sexy without being too much...in fact it worked perfectly with the story.

I felt hopeful for these two people and even though they both made a few mistakes you still stayed invested in their story and wanted them to work it out. Plus I suppose everyone at one time or another has wondered what it would be like to go from a normal life to being on the inside of celebrity. I think this story showed the good and the bad side of public life equally.

The narrator was great. She did an excellent job with the voices. This was a great book. Good enough that I'll be reading the next two. One of which gets released in April and the other in July. It's worth a credit.
