One Wicked Lick from the Drummer (The One Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Ainslie Paton (Author), Belinda Holmes (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 18 ratings
As the wildly exciting drummer in an up-and-coming band, Grip was at the top of Mina’s list of hot drummers to hook-up with.

She’d promised herself that after she nailed him, she’d quit her groupie life, finish her finance degree and become her own rock star.

Fifteen years later, she’s right on track, a polished professional investment advisor, her goth-look and the name she used back then a distant memory.

Except the new client in the boardroom is her old obsession, more sexy and famous than ever, and her promotion to partner depends on making him happy.

With her clothes on.

He’ll never guess who she was, so her secret was safe, until her obsession comes roaring back—and Grip remembers the one girl he could never forget.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ainslie Paton always wanted to write stories to make people smile, but the need to eat, accumulate books, and have bedclothes to read under was ever present. She sold out, and worked as a flack, a suit, and a creative, ghosting for business leaders, rabble-rousers and politicians, and making words happen for companies, governments, causes, conditions, high-profile CEOs, low-profile celebs, and the occasional misguided royal.

She still does that. She also writes for love, and so she can buy shoes, and the good cat food.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked Good Romance

    Although this is the third book in the series it can be read as a stand alone. This is a sweet and sexy second-chance romance. It’s light and fun and believable, with characters you will enjoy spending time with.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable story
    Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2020
    I enjoyed this story very much. I liked Mena and Grip, and I liked who they were as a couple. Both characters have parts of themselves that they have hidden away. The best part of the book was the recurring motifs: drumbeats, escape rooms, wildness, etc. They made the book feel well crafted and thoughtful.

    3.0 out of 5 stars The lie that goes on too long
    Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I usually loved Ms. Patton's books but this one just irritated me. It's the heroine who irritated me, to be precise.

    She's a former groupie who had a fabulous 'lost weekend' with an up and coming drummer, Grif. Both still remember the time they spent together, although she's changed so much over the years that Grif (the drummer) doesn't recognize her anymore. She's now an established financial advisor on track to become partner so she can't afford to let anyone know about her groupie past. She decides to lie by omission, even when Grif asks her a couple of times if they've met before. Unfortunately the lie goes on until the very end, when she's discovered. By then she already turned me off so completely that I was skimming the pages just to get to the end of it.

    Meh.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of tension in this sexy, exciting, rock star romance!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2020
    Ainslie Paton can always be counted on to write sexy, compelling, and unique romances and she's done it again with One Wicked Lick from the Drummer, the third story in her 'The One' series.

    Mena Grady had a wild life as an older teenager, hitting the groupie circuit for popular rock groups and hooking up with drummer Mark 'Grip' Grippen of her favorite up and coming band was the penultimate success. After that she vowed to settle down and finish her finance degree, the time spent with Grip a cherished memory best left in the past.

    Fifteen years later she's a financial investment counselor looking to make partner and the last person she expects to see is Grip, still as handsome and charismatic as ever, coming to her firm for investment advice. Assigned to his case, she knows exactly who he is but he doesn't recognize her. Still something about her sparks his interest and as they spend time together, their explosive chemistry comes into play again leading to a sexy affair. But Mena hasn't told Grip the truth about their past. When he finds out will it ruin their second chance?

    I always find myself in the conundrum of trying to speed up to read Ms. Paton's books faster to see what's gong to happen and simultaneously slow down so I don't get to the end too fast. When that happens, you know you've hit the reading jackpot. The sexual tension between Grip and Mena is palpable right from the start but this time Mena is in a very awkward position. Sleeping with a client is a big mistake that could cost her her career. But sleeping with Grip again, knowing what it was like for them the first time around is too big of a temptation to ignore. Then there is the tension of knowing her secret about their shared past. As they grow closer together and Grip starts to share intimate things with her, you just know that there are going to be serious repercussions. Gah!

    Though rock star romances aren't my favorite, I make an exception for authors I enjoy and I'm definitely glad I did that here. I like the backdrop of the band, the close relationship Grip has with his bandmates and there are some enjoyable scenes with secondary characters who were in earlier books in the series. Grip has his own secrets that only Mena knows about, and it's the realization that sometimes people keep secrets for legitimate reasons that helps him get over the betrayal (because you know from the beginning he's going to find out who Mena is, you just don't know when) and leads to their eventual happy ending. Though you don't have to have read the earlier books, they are equally enjoyable and definitely worth reading. We get an epilogue to tie the three books in the series up handily. And I'd be remiss to not mention that in the sweepstakes of unique venues to have a sexy scene, the escape room part in this book is 'chef's kiss' perfection. If you're a fan of sexy romances with complicated characters and often unique circumstances, stories with an emotional pull that have you rooting for a happy ending, you should be reading Ainslie Paton.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Linen Press Scene - OMG Brilliant
    Reviewed in Australia on July 8, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    4.5 stars
    This had all the great stuff I've come to expect from Ainslie Paton, but I'm rating it just half a star lower than the first two books in (The One) trilogy. And only because I didn't quite fall into Grip and Mena like I did Teela and Hayden and Evie and Jay.
    But, that said, I think this book has my favourite scene ever... the linen press at Gate 5.
    Extraordinary.
