I want to be besties with all of these characters.īrooks Johnson left Licking Thicket, Tennessee ten years ago right after high school, and has not gone back. First, just let me get this out of the way: I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH!! I want to move to this crazy town and live there forever. This is my second book by Lucy and my very first by May. See All My Latest Reads (Review Quick-Links)įakers is a stand alone M/M romance by Lucy Lennox and May Archer. This book is *FREE* with Kindle Unlimited membership. Highly recommended and I'm hopping straight away into book 2, Parrish and Diesel's book, praying it works out as well for me as this one did. There isn't anything that I can think of that I would've changed in the book, which is ridiculously rare for me, let me tell you, so I'd rate it at around 4.5 stars and I'm immediately adding it to my GR Favorites shelf. Just with waaaaaaay less Jeeeeeesus and religion, which was sadly not an optional activity in East Bumblefuck, TN, where I was raised.Īnd I *tolerated* all of the ' licking' puns, because Holy Mother of God, they were *EVERYWHERE*.

I loved how the town itself really came to life and leapt off the page, reminding me a lot of my own small-town, rural upbringing. I loved how the older parental figures imparted their own fucked-up stories of past romantic missteps on their younger counterparts. I loved Ava and Paul and the entire odd-ball cast of Licking Thicket yokels, who were endearing from the first few chapters. They were insanely cute together, without it feeling forced or trying too hard. I loved both Brooks and Mal, how their chemistry was immediate, but the romance was full-on slow burn. Yes, it was a complete over-the-top RomCom, with a lot of super-sappy, overly-sweet, wacky-assed situations however, it somehow all just worked - without making me crazy or causing me to eye-roll my ass into another dimension. Wow, I actually enjoyed this story way more than I'd thought I would.
