Siskind's steamy second chance romance will grab you by the heart and leave you with one hell of a book hangover!

August Cruz is the only man I've ever loved.

He's the one who got away.

He's the one I totally screwed over.

Now he's standing on my doorstep, nine years later, but he's not the only thing that turns up. My mother's lost diary is in my hands, and it might lead me to my father. A possibility I wished for one year ago, at my last birthday.

I have 36 hours to fulfill that wish.

I have 36 hours to drag August on a wild scavenger hunt.

I have 36 hours to protect my heart before I lose him again . . . because there's something he's not telling me.

Contains mature themes.

Countdown to happiness!

First, I have to say, I just love Kelly Siskind. Her books are so easy to relate to, her stories believable, her characters well developed and her story lines full of true to life experiences along with a touch of humor. Licks is the third in the One Wild Wish trilogy and is an amazing listen. Gwen with her two friends made a wish on her 27th birthday to find her birth father. Now so close to her 28th, will she find out what she seeks? And will this journey be life changing in a good way? August, Gwen's best friend and high school crush has come home to give Gwen some news that is sure to ruin his chance of ever being her man. But will he have the guts to give it to her? These two embark on a journey that is full of passion and surprises. Every corner turned leads to the unexpected, as Gwen uncovers her past with the man from her past. And to make it even better, we get help and support from her friends Owen, Ainsley, Rachel and Jimmy! This story, full of warm feelings of compassion, and love is truly amazing.

Throw in narration by Aaron Shedlock and Samantha Cook, and the novel is incredible. Shedlock gives voice to August with a need and desperation as he helps the one woman that he loves. His voice is August. Cook exudes the Hope and despair that Gwen feels and you can feel her change as the story progresses. These two bring you into the story and let you live it as it is read to you.

The ending!! ♡

The last 40 mins happy tears, shock, laughs. Great story telling. Enjoyed the whole series.

What a love story!!

This was a great story. I loved the twists and turns. I adored the Main Male character and my heart went out to him so many times. I laughed a few times and I cried. WTF day was heartbreaking. ❤️‍🩹
It boiled down to choices we make affect us long into our lives and can change things for everyone in our lives. I do recommend this book. Well worth the read/listen.

Good story butttttt

She felt guilty of what she did but what about what he did with her fake BFF? they are both tools but still a cute story.

Kind of boring.

This book was way too long for that story line. Very boring at times. I’m not fond of the F word and it’s used for no reason. I wouldn’t listen to it again. Glad I did pay for it.

really enjoyed this one

The plot was not at all what I was expecting as was actually a nice surprise. Overall I enjoyed it, though there were just a couple times where I wanted to shake character for their poor decision making and ridiculous reactions, but they redeemed themselves and all is well. Otherwise, the writing was well done and the narrations was great.

Excellent Series!!!!

Great Author! Great plot in all three books! Great Characters all three books! so much love, romance, and humor throughout each page!

Recipe on how to destroy relationships! Spoilers!

I liked this story with a few reservations. I think the main message of the story was the lack of communication...between August and Gwen which began their problems, between Gwen's mother and Gwen and between August's brother and Gwen. But I suppose the resulting angst is what makes the story.

SPOILERS AHEAD:
One of my reservations was the continual thread throughout the story that the failure of the MC's relationship was Gwen's fault. I didn't feel that was true at all. In explanation, here comes the necessary spoilers. August is a fixer. I am married to one. So I understand that sometimes you just need that person to listen but understand that it is up to you to decide on how to fix your problems. Instead he made her feel like talking to him about her problems MADE her a problem to him. In response, Gwen began to shut August out their senior year. At this point, August could have talked to Gwen about how he felt about her. Instead, he began to date HER BEST FRIEND and Gwen had a limited relationship with another guy. So, Gwen becomes upset when a year later when she sees on social network that August has given her ex best friend a promise ring on Gwen's birthday. At this point, I don't think August had any right to object to who she slept with after a few too many birthday drinks (she was a free agent) even if it was his twin brother. The twin brother, however, knew how August felt about Gwen but apparently thought he was in love with Gwen as well. This has all resulted from poor communication on everyone's part but I didn't like how Gwen took more of the blame than was her share. I have noticed that women tend to do that. In addition, I have noticed how other women and women writers are so hard on women in their reviews and in their stories. I just don't get that. Where is our sisterhood? We share many of the same problems!

My other reservation was August withholding important info about her father when he knew how important that info was to Gwen. An immediate email would have made more sense. Then, to lie by omission by not telling her after they had reconnected that he had withheld the info seemed intentionally wrong. I didn't buy the rationale for his deceit. He once again took the decision out of her hands.

In conclusion I thought the narrators did a good job. The story was good because it was redeemed by it's HEA. I look forward to reading more of this author's works in the future.

Awesome story

I laughed and cried through this whole book. Totally worth it and I hope I can find more from this writer. Performance was absolutely amazing

Story kept me hooked💙❤️

I loved August and Gwens second chance romance. The entire story has a fun/mysterious vibe to it as they reconnect and seek answers about her past. The story is intriguing and it kept my interest the entire time. The ending is beautiful.

The readers did a great job in narrating.
