From The Publisher:

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

Evelyn Thomas's plans for celebrating her twenty-first 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.

After being pushed few times by some of my pick-it-for-me challenge fellows and other friends I have decided to give up and read this book. Now I understand what is this all fuss about.

This is not a book that has changed my life in any way or that I will remember it as time goes by. Seriously, I can't even say that it will be one of my favourite books because it will probably be not. And the plot... to be honest... it is not that innovative or outstanding or something. So what is the magic by its covers? Why to give it a four stars review? Because it is an absolutely great read. It is an essence of entertaining reading.

Lick grabs you at the beginning and keeps you glued to it 'till the end. Really.

And I'm not sure if I really can explain that phenomenon.

Because to be honest with you and myself I have to admit that as I said before the plot isn't that wonderful. In fact there are some schemes I usually don't like in my books. Like, if the characters talk to each other a little bit more they wouldn't fight over some minor shit. Or them being jealous without a right to be. Or running away instead of talking. But what is important is that it was all done with such a finesse that it didn't bother me at all. I was just reading on without rolling my eyes even once. That's the magic of this story I think.

And the characters are likeable, too. I generally prefer 3rd person narration and in the first few pages I was afraid I wouldn't have a proper insight into David feelings. But once again it didn't bother me at all during the story. So I believe both David and Ev are described and developed enough. I liked that she isn't some immature crying brat or that his surely difficult past isn't dragged out enormously. I have also enjoyed the interactions with the secondary characters.

And this is it. That's all. It was just a pleasurable book to read. And God knows, how rare it really is! That is why I have given it a strong four starts without hesitation.

Read it, you will have some great time, I promise!
