Lick

I’ll admit, the premise of *Lick*—a one-night stand gone sideways in Vegas—sounded like a tired trope at first. But Kylie Scott flips expectations with Evelyn’s razor-sharp wit and a story that’s as much about self-discovery as it is about sex. Andi Arndt nails the narration, especially Evelyn’s internal monologues where her sarcasm and doubt collide. The chemistry between Evelyn and her tattooed mystery man, Jesse, is electric, but the real payoff isn’t just the physical attraction—it’s the slow-burn emotional layers that make their connection feel earned. My only critique? The middle section drags a bit in Vegas’s neon haze, but Scott’s sharp dialogue keeps it from feeling bloated. The production is crisp, with just enough background noise to sell the Vegas setting without distracting from the story. If you’re craving erotica that’s smart, steamy, and surprisingly heartfelt, this audiobook delivers.
