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 cou ...more

Things I’ve learnt from new-adult Bad Boys (BB)
1. A BB never wears underwear under sexy jeans.
2. Only medium to zero confidence can attract a BB.
3. If you are a virgin, or almost, your chances to catch the eye of a BB, triple.
4. After some ruff patches, the BB is no longer a BB, but a SLP (sweet little poodle).
5. You will definitely hit it off with the best friend, who is a BB too, but will also become a SLP, probably in the next book.

"So congratulations. You're married to a rock star."
I'd been wishing for a new rock star book and this one hit the spot and rocked my world!!
Lick is an addictive blend of heart-warming passion and light-hearted fun. It's a story you can lose yourself in. The perfect rock star romance! 5 stars!
This book had one of the all-time best beginnings ever. I challenge anyone to try and stop reading after the first page!

4.5 Lickable Stars!!!
This was such a fun and sweet book! A really enjoyable read!
Going out for her 21st birthday, Evelyn wants to get a little wild, have a little fun. So she goes to Vegas with her best friend. The last thing she remembers is taking shots after midnight... the next morning she wakes up with a ring on her finger and a tattoo on her ass. And she can't remember a damn thing.

I LOVE ROCK STAR STORIES....it's so true...I CAN'T RESIST THEM...
LICK may not be the most believable rock star story ever written, but nevertheless it was an enjoyable read.
The cover and title interested me…the rock star hero looked kind of dreamy, hot and sexy and I wondered what “lick” had to do with the story…..more about that later!!!!

A nice quick story which was fun to read. It slightly felt like something I've already read before. Some clichés here and there. However it was fine, I really enjoyed reading this novel. Very relaxing.
Especially Mal's humour totally helped this book and Jimmy seems rather intriguing. Brothers competing is usually so much fun. ...more

I'm not sure what to say about this book. I didn't hate it, but didn't love it either. Since there were more things that I disliked than I liked, two stars is more than fair.
-WARNING SPOILERS-
The story had a solid beginning. After I read the first chapter I was very exited. I was sure it will be at least a 4 star read.

4 to 4 1/2–I'm glad I gave this book a second chance–Stars
After my first failed attempt to read this book–explained in my original review below–I knew it would be a good idea to put it aside for awhile before giving it another try. Boy, am I glad I decided to give it another go. I loved this book! I loved the characters, the plot, and the love story. I ended this book with a huge smile on my face.

"You made sense to me. We make sense. We're a whole lot better together than apart."
4 Rock Stars!
This book was all I've ever needed in a rock star romance story. Lick was a sweet, fast moving, and guilty-pleasure book that was a pure joy to read.

The story began when Evelyn "Ev" Thomas woke up with a realization that she's married to the famous lead guitarist of Stage Dive band, David Ferris. She happened to forget the details on how she got married to him though, because apparently i ...more

5 Rock Gods, FanGirls & Messy, Sexy Love Stars
Love isn’t always smooth or straightforward. It can be messy and painful,” he said. “Doesn’t mean it isn’t still the most incredible thing that can ever happen to you. Doesn’t mean I’m not crazy about you.”

“Play that lick again, Dave.”
Lick: In rock music, a lick is "a stock pattern or phrase" consisting of a short series of notes that is used in solos and melodic lines.
Well, personally, I prefer the more literal meaning...

Ok I’m going to try something completely different here.
Sometimes books remind you of certain songs, whether it be that a song is mentioned in the book I.e Angel in This Man. Mr Brightside in The Mighty Storm
Or sometimes things happen, emotions are explained and you think of certain songs…
I thought of a lot of songs while reading this…

DNF at 61 %. No official rating from moi. When I started reading Lick I said I wouldn't rate it IF I wouldn't like it. I keep my word although I must say it was no more than a two-star read. Review posted July 23, 2013

4 1/2 ~ I Married a Rockstar ~ Stars

Lick (Stage Dive 1) was such a refreshingly done rockstar book. I haven’t read anything by this author but will be checking out her books because I really LOVED Kylie Scott’s writing style!
Kylie Scott can write inner dialogue like no one’s business. I laughed and smiled at how completely hilarious and clever she writes her characters, they seemed so real. To say I enjoy this breath of fresh air would be putting mildly!

Eeeeeeee. Love love love it. Soooo perfect. And adorable. And hot. And brilliant.
A fantastic rock star romance. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, right??? Wrong!

When you accidently get married to one of the biggest rock stars on the planet, the ring, the paparazzi, the legal papers and the hubby himself are all still there, even after you leave Vegas... even if you have absolutely no recollection of the whole thing!

I really enjoyed this opening book of the Stage Dive series from Kylie Scott – it’s charming, funny and deeply romantic full of well-rounded characters and a dynamic plot to keep you engaged right through to the very end.
Turns out, the old expression ‘What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas’ probably doesn’t apply if an Elvis impersonator is somehow involved.

Or, finding out you married to a rock star in Vegas. (Better than the shoe thing, I think.)
So, Evelyn wakes up in Vegas with a rock star husband and a tattoo of his name on her ass. The good news? His name is David. It could have been worse.

A lot worse.
Evelyn doesn't remember a thing and this upsets David because he thought he found his one true love in Las Vegas and married her the same night. Seriously, dude?
He's also a multimillionaire , famous rock star, etc... and didn't get a pre-nup.
Sooo, ...more

That’s how she wakes up in Vegas hungover.
