Pickle Licker Review

by Allie Gail

Rating: 3/5

He had it. I wanted it.

And that's how it ended up in my mouth.

Oh, get your mind out of the gutter, will you? I'm not talking about THAT!

All I did was give it a little lick. Okay, fine, I may have shoved the whole thing in my face. Not my finest moment, but hey, the guy deserved it. At least now Saul Stryker knows I exist.

Why is he always hanging around here anyway? Smelling like bottled sin, looking way too hot while he casually raids my fridge. Just because his business partner is my roommate, Stryker acts like he owns the place. Well, he can't just help himself to whatever he wants, whenever he wants it!

So what am I, the invisible girl?

That's it - bring on the coal, I'm done being nice!

For f***'s sake, it was just a pickle!

Why is this chick going all Bad Santa on me? One minute I'm having lunch with Perry and next thing I know, his weirdo roommate is hijacking my kosher dill and slurping on it like a demented bloodhound.

Da-amn.

Is it wrong that I may have been slightly turned on by the way she was deep-throating that thing?

This could get interesting. Because now I'm looking beyond the berets, Uggs and tacky Christmas sweaters, and noticing Jayne Pritchett for the first time.

I gotta say, I'm liking what I'm seeing.

And now all I want is for the little pickle licker to notice me.

Contains sexual situations (obviously), adult language (naturally), and possibly a few inappropriate references to garden vegetables. Just sayin'.

I picked this up strictly for a buddy read. It came up when my book club was discussing what we should read for our December pick. And while this wasn’t picked, a few of us were still really wanting to pick this up, so we did a buddy read instead!

I couldn’t wait to read it. The synopsis alone had me dying. A holiday romance about a girl who catches a guy’s eye by deep throating a pickle? I needed to know what would happen. Besides the obvious!

And while this definitely had its funny moments and the story was cute. It unfortunately didn’t wow me. It was very quick paced too. I did enjoy this and it made for an entertaining holiday romcom, but it didn’t blow me away. I would have liked to see this flushed into a longer full length novel, instead of just a novella. I think that would have been much better!

Everything just felt very rushed. We don’t even really see much of any conflict. It was all very much a happily ever after.

And of course, it gets extra spicy! I mean, how could it not? She deep throats a pickle!

If you’re looking for a cute, spicy, quick holiday romance with a HEA, I’d recommend picking this up!
