A Lick And A Promise by
Jo LeighMy rating:
4 of 5 starsA quick read and very steamy. The plot and character development was a little cliched. We have Margot, an eccentric food designer who likes to change people, and Daniel, the ultraconservative architect who designs boxes for accountants. I liked Margot because she was very opinionated and ample with her advice, style, and hips. Daniel was played a very good game of allowing her to open him to new experiences. The cast of neighbors and friends each had their own quirks and added to the fun and informal atmosphere.
Predictably, the two of them get together and have hot sex everywhere. At about 75% the problems crop up with their jobs. There is the obligatory let's blame ourselves and break up, and then the friends pushing them together and another hot session followed by the "L" word.
Descriptions and scenery was good, as was the backdrop of the food stylist world. I enjoyed that. But as with all of these serial romances that have limited word count, don't expect the character emotional development to be ground breaking. They seemed to have gone through the crisis, climax and recovery a bit too easily: a cute post-coital question and answer session and everyone's happy again.
