BLURB.

I’m about thirty seconds from a toe tag and my own freezer at the mortuary when he materializes from the shadows and fights like hell to keep me breathing.

I had no idea homeless disasters like me got guardian angels—or that guardian angels punch people and smoke—but suddenly, there he is: a hero dressed all in black who ghosts me so hard I consider calling a medium.

But that would be a waste of money I don’t have.

I thought I’d never see him again, but just as I’m about to eat a bullet, he appears, using his body to protect mine. I might have swooned—okay, fine, I do but only on the inside—if it weren’t for the fact he thinks bleeding is an adequate apology for implying I’m a prostitute and running off with my heart.

Spoiler alert: It’s not.

Now the man with a PhD in vanishing, a tattoo that totally offends me, and eyes with their own force of gravity is suddenly stuck to me like glue and being wildly inconvenient about it.

And he won’t stop calling me a pipgeek. What even is that?

He insists I trust him, but I can’t trust anyone, not even my own body. Unfortunately, when the resident drug lord calls in that favor I foolishly owe, things go from bad to catastrophic with alarming enthusiasm.

On the upside, having a villain with a hero complex for a stalker means staying alive will be easy.

But not getting hurt again is a whole other story.

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Renee!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is Rett and Ghost (Hiro)’s story. If you read book one in this series, you were introduced to these two. This book is split into two parts. First part is their meeting in the past and the second is the reconnection. You can feel the chemistry and the banter between the two will have you laughing. He swoops in right when she needs help and makes sure to keep her safe at all costs.

I recommend this book.

Drip It All Over Me

Fulfilling my childhood wish of opening an ice cream shop is meant to be a dream come true, not a stress-inducing nightmare. And it’s not meant to make my friends concerned for my health either. But I’ll be fine! All we have to do is survive the summer and then I’ll be able to breathe again.

My employee Owen has a different idea, though.

He’s seen me watching him swim every morning, and he knows I think he’s ridiculously hot, so he proposes a simple solution to my stress: a summer-long, no-strings hook-up arrangement.

It’s the perfect plan on paper. Except, the longer summer goes on, the more I’m developing feelings for the sunshine swimmer who loves my dream as much as I do. But I can’t tell him that. Because Owen doesn’t plan to stay. And I can’t ask him to.

Even if letting him walk away would be the worst decision I’ve ever made.

Meet Darcy and Owen in the second book of the Lick It! series, set around an artisan ice cream parlour on the Yorkshire coast. It features a stressed out shop owner and his very laid back employee who’s determined to help his boss relax, a ‘just for the summer’ hook-up, late night kitchen dates, friends to lovers, oops we caught feelings (but we’re not talking about it), supportive and nosy friends, pet names, delicious ice cream, and plenty of sweetness and spice.

MY REVIEW.

3.5 Stars from Tiffany!

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cute Summer Read.

In this second book in the Lick It series, we follow Darcy and Owen, the owner and employee of an ice cream shop.

Darcy is the owner of the shop, and Owen is his seasonal employee. To say the stress of running the shop is taking a toll on Darcy would be putting it mildly. He is wound incredibly tight and needs a free spirit like Owen to show him there’s more to life than just work. Owen, on the other hand, has been on the move from a young age. He’s an adventurer, always looking for his next experience, so working at the ice cream shop was never meant to be permanent in his mind. These two couldn’t be more opposite, so of course we all know where this is headed.

While I liked both of these characters, they spent so much time inside their own heads that it became a little frustrating at times. Everyone has baggage, but constantly dancing around the issues or replacing actual conversations with sex doesn’t always work for the reader. The writing was on the wall for everyone except them. They were perfectly happy staying in denial, only to turn around and stress over the very feelings they were trying to ignore.

The book is well written and brings back the characters from the first book in the series, so I enjoyed feeling like I already knew where everyone belonged while reading. This book can be read as a standalone, and it wraps up with a cute epilogue.

MEET CHARLIE NOVAK.

Charlie lives in England with her husband and two cheeky dogs. She spends most of her days wrangling other people’s words in her day job and then trying to force her own onto the page in the evening.

She loves cute stories with a healthy dollop of fluff, plenty of delicious sex, and happily ever afters — because the world needs more of them.

Charlie has very little spare time, but what she does have she fills with baking, Dungeons and Dragons, reading and many other nerdy pursuits. She also thinks that everyone should have at least one favourite dinosaur…

BLURB.

Grizz McAvoy is the most electrifying player in professional hockey…and the most volatile. He’s got a wicked shot, a hair-trigger temper, and spent his childhood surviving his father's cruelty. Off the ice, he's a PR catastrophe, racking up fines, burning through handlers, and daring the New York Vipers organization to do something about it. He’s built his entire identity around one principle: winning solves everything.

But winning can’t silence the past trauma that haunts him when the arena lights go dark.

Daisy Turner was fired from a top style magazine for asking questions powerful men didn't want to answer and exposing hypocrisy in the world of high-fashion. She's looking to salvage her career as a journalist by scraping together a second chance as Grizz's new media handler. Fearless in her own right, she carries scars from a betrayal that taught her trust is a currency she can't afford to spend freely.

From their first combustible meeting, Grizz and Daisy collide in a battle of wills neither is prepared to lose. She challenges him, and he can't look away. What begins as mutual provocation becomes far more dangerous when the walls between professional and personal start to crumble, and the wreckage of Grizz's past threatens to destroy the one person brave enough to see through his rock-solid armor.

Grizz is a scorching, emotionally charged hockey romance about two people who were never supposed to fall for each other, and the bruising, tender, inevitable collision that happens when they do.

4.5 Stars from Renee!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The story has laughs, secrets, and heartbreak.

This is Daisy and Grizz’s story. He is the star of his team but also the one that hers into the most drama. She is hired to clean up his image. But he sees her as a sitter and wants nothing to do with that. She is determined to keep this job and make it work. They both have trust issues because of things in the past. Can they over come those issues in order to trust each other? Once they spend time together they both fall but is it a forever thing or something that will go away once his image is looking better?

I highly recommend this story.
