Licked – Nicole Parker

4 stars

I’m so glad I found this before Christmas! Seriously, how creative! I’d have never thought of a sentient Christmas card envelope, but I love it. And I love Alora’s explanation for why an envelope, though her friend, Blake, is a bit of a jerk >.>

Reese being absolutely stupefied at Kyle’s lack of judgment and huge tolerance for weird things was the best! It really flipped the script since typical romance stories have people being surprised at someone being judgy, so this was a very entertaining new take. Poor Kyle keeping all these secrets about how everyone got together. I’m going to need the non-sentient object partners to form a club or something to talk about their sentient object partners (or have an orgy, I’m not picky!).

I snorted at the epilogue so hard when Kyle brought Taylor, Connor, Reese, and Alora together, and everyone thought the point was to start not getting together with Kyle. Definitely not what he was trying to do 😂
