Lip Smacker

By: Alison G. Bailey

Narrated by: Kelli Tager

Logan Heath was the sweetest and most beautiful boy I had ever seen. He was popular, smart, and the star quarterback of Fort Johnson High. Every girl in school followed him around in hopes of getting his attention. I was no different, except that I admired Logan from afar. With him being a superstar junior and me being an awkward freshman at a new school, our coupling was a mere pipe dream.

Implementing my top-notch investigating skills I learned from reading The Nancy Drew Mysteries, I followed Logan’s life from high school through his college career, and then some. Fearing that my stalker-ish tendencies were becoming more of a mental health issue, I purposely lost track of him five years ago. I admit since that time I have thought of Logan. And when I say thought, I mean he has popped into one or 40 R-rated dreams of mine.

The day he walked into my bakery, butterflies fluttered in my stomach, tingles tingled my skin, and a sequence of R-rated dreams flashed through my head. But I was no longer that awkward teenager, too scared to speak to him. I had grown into a confident woman. A woman who wanted to admire Logan Heath up close and personal.

Unfortunately, from the very beginning, Logan wanted something from me that I was not willing to give him.

cute story

It was a very cute story but had a hard time getting into the story because the narrator does not do male voices well and made Logan sounded like a pompous old man

Such a cute story

I went on an emotional rollercoaster here. Definitely laughed and went from sad to crying. It’s romantic and heartwarming. A must get. Narrator did a fabulous job and perfect pace. Definitely recommend this audiobook.

Spoiler free review

I loved this story! new to me author and narrator and I enjoyed both. I laughed, I cried, it was so sweet. the narator did a great job with voices, giving the main characters something distinctive without being cheesy. and the epilogue was just perfect, I adored it

One of my Favorites! The narrator levels up this book!

This is one of my FAVORITE books of this year! The story is funny, heartfelt and so crazy good! I laughed out loud and even had tears in my eyes couple times. The characters are wonderfully built. The names are great and one of my favorite parts. The two MC have a dog and cat attraction but their witty banter is what will bring me back time and time again. I could listen to Lip explain all day to him why something can’t happen. Her babbling and speed talking kept me on my toes...err ears. The relationships between the grandma and the grand daughter was heartfelt but had an edge of fun.

I highly recommend this story but only if you want to lighten up your day with a laugh or two.

I did listen to this on audio. Kelli Tager is outstanding! I can’t give enough praise for her voicing this book and characters. She is indignant or as shocked as the character calls for. I could hear it all in her voice. There is even a couple times where the female character speed talks because she is nervous or angry. This lady nails it! She really amped this story up to the next level!

Fun, Quirky, Sweet Romance!

What a fun, quirky, sweet romance! Elipheleta (Lip) Smacker runs her beloved but struggling bakery, and takes care of her Grandmother. When her secret high school crush walks into her shop to offer to buy it for his employer, she is astonished at his arrogance. Not only was he cocky, and still sexy, but she was crushed that he didn't recognize her. Logan was more than a cold lawyer, he was kind, thoughtful and giving. He remembered the cute girl who watched him from afar and was intrigued and drawn to this beautiful and quirky woman who stood up and challenged him. The more time he tried to spend with her, the more suspicious she was at his motives. But she couldn't deny the sparks that flew between them. This story had me laughing out loud at times, then an emotional twist had me in tears, but mostly I swooned and felt myself smiling. Kelli Tager did a great job narrating this delightful romcom and bringing it to life. She skillfully brought out all of Lip's awkward, vulnerable, and loving attributes, and I loved her performance of Lips fast nervous talking! I also enjoyed her different character voices that were distinctive and dynamic. This is my first experience with both this narrator and author and I would love to listen to more of their work.

Adorable!

This is one of those feel good books that I adore reading/listening to. I didn't love Lip's character as much as I wanted to because it felt like her quirkiness was forced at times and she made decisions that I felt as an adult she could have handled better even under all the stress. I absolutely adored Wavy and felt like she make Lip's character better. Logan was my second favorite character as he was sweet, understanding and kind when Lip let him talk. Overall a cute story that's worth the read/listen.

In case you were wondering Kelli Tager did a fantastic job as narrator. It's was my first time hearing one of her narrations and I have nothing negative to say,

This book was provided to me in exchange for my honest review.

Cute Second Chance Romance

This is a cute story with a decent performance, but for some reason it hasn’t been able to capture my attention or emotions. Sometimes (frequently with audio where I tend to be multitasking), outside influences just keep me from enjoying a story as much as I might. I will probably give this one another listen in the future.

Okay

I’m sorry but I found this book to be boring. The beginning was fun but then for me it just went down hill. It’s sweet, yes with some funny moments but it’s just boring. I will eventually finish it, however I’ve listened to way better.

Good but a little slow

I enjoyed this book but unfortunately I thought it was a little boring/slow. I think if it was shortened or maybe more steamy it could have been better. Overall this is a low angst sweet romance.

Cute

This was a very sweet story to match the bakery theme. A good summer read
