Story
What’s a four-letter word for an utterly oblivious, totally commitment-phobic, heartbreakingly gorgeous man with a pet pig named Bernadette? That’d be D-U-N-N, as in Dunn Johnson, my very best pal and fishing buddy since I moved to Licking Thicket. What’s a six-letter word for a nerdy, crossword-loving town doctor who’s doomed to be hopelessly, thoroughly, irrevocably, in love with that straight best friend for the rest of his born days? That’s T-U-C-K-E-R, as in me.

Story
Linden Van Doren is in a strange position. He’s an emancipated omega holding down two jobs, so he should be out from under anyone’s thumb, but in reality, there are still weird lupine rules to follow. For instance, if an alpha wants to court him, he’s not allowed to say no. If that same alpha asks for his hand in bonding, however, as there’s no contract that anyone holds but him, he can certainly say no to that. And would. He trusts no alpha to keep their word. He’s also doing his very small part to help others—and that just became a problem.

Parrish Partridge’s true facts: There’s nothing hotter than a tall, gruff, bewildered, tattooed mountain of a man cuddling a sweet, orphaned baby, so you can tell yourself that you’ll resist him...But that’s a lie. And when that man asks you to do him a favor and pretend to be his very temporary, very fake fiance to help him get custody of that adorable baby, you can pretend you know better than to say yes...But that’s a lie, too.

Look, I left LA for a reason. I’ve had my fill of big Hollywood stars and their even bigger egos. I want something genuine. Something real. And it doesn’t get any realer than being the new sheriff of Aster Valley, Colorado. That is, until entitled Finn Heller appears on the scene, handing me the keys to his convertible like I’m his personal servant. The former child star and wannabe action hero is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. He’s also a snarky party animal with legions of adoring fans and attitude for days. Or so I thought.

Story
I left my family and tiny Texas hometown 15 years ago to escape small-town gossips and to give my mom and sister the chance at a better life. But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco. The thing is: I don't do babies. And I don't do small towns. Or commitment. And I especially don't do family.

When Miller Hobbs finds himself on a winter vacation in Colorado with the giant, exceedingly loud, Marian and Wilde families, he doesn’t quite know what to do with himself. He’s not really a Marian or a Wilde despite having DNA ties to both. So every morning before the rest of the family wakes up and fills Rockley Lodge with holiday merriment (and noise), he escapes to the quaint downtown of Aster Valley where he spies a man through the bakery window kneading dough and dancing to music only he can hear.

Sweet and short!
This was a short, sweet and quick listen.
I loved Colin and Ryder's story it was cute and they were perfect for eachother.
This book is a prequel in the Licking Thicket series and can be listened to as a standalone. I really wished this story was longer as the author did a brilliant job on the character development.
Although this was a 2 hr listen I was drawn the story and the characters.
Michael Dean's audio delivery and narration was absolutely brilliant!

The perfect short story!!
OY I broke my rule and listened to Flakes by Lucy Lennox and May Archer BEFORE I read it! OMG I loved it...Colin and Ryder's story is super sweet, so very sexy and downright adorable...These 2 couldn't be more opposite and yet, they fit perfectly! Hot, huge, muscled, tatted, construction contractor Ryder and the adorable, snarky, sweet and sexy, interior designer Colin are "frenemies" with some smoking hot chemistry...Set in a forced proximity situation, can a game of truth or shot lead to love?? GAH..A fabulous short listen that I recommend highly...Michael (Pauley) Dean's Colin narration was fantastic!! I was in stitches from the get go as expected from Lucy and May!!

Fun start to a new series!
This is a fun start to a new series. Ryder and Colin have known each other for years, and they finally give in to their mutual attraction when they're snowed in on a joint project. This is a short book that introduces new characters towards the end that I assume we'll see more of in future books in the series. Already, I'm a fan of this little town in Tennessee. I hadn't read the blurb before I started listening so I had the fun surprise of listening to this book that takes place one New Year's eve on New Year's eve.

Disappointing…
I have enjoyed the Licking Thicket series, but just bought this prequel. There is nothing to it. It takes place over one night, where we learn in the past they didn’t get along, but after drinking shots the truth comes out and they are immediately in love and planning marriage and babies. Not worth the money or a credit.

Didn't care for it... blah
First of all, I really do like Michael Dean as a narrator.... BUT ... not in this book. It was way to whiny that I just couldn't get passed it. I stopped many times... but eventually did finish the 2 hr book. Nothing special in the story. I love Lucy Lennox and have listened to most of her books. She is amazing!! This is not one of her best. Sorry.
