The first 30 percent of Hijacked fit the bill, but sadly the story took a nosedive from cute to silly from humorous to trying too hard. What happened here? The books set in Licking Thicket were adorable, lighthearted, and funny. See All My Latest Reads (Review Quick-Links) This book is *FREE* with Kindle Unlimited membership. I'm just praying that future Licking Thicket stories stay *IN* the Thicket, where the local folks put their crazy out on the front porch with a jug of sweet tea for everyone to see. I'd still rate the book at around 3.25 stars, as the story was still well-written and compelling, but this one felt a bit like ordering a dish specifically for the *Special Sauce*, then only getting a tiny smidge of said sauce on your plate. I was enjoying this story just as much as the previous Licking Thicket books, right up until the point where Carter and Riggs hopped on a plane and flew to Venezuela.Īfter that point, though, much of the charm and pun-friendly silliness that had previously drawn me to the series largely evaporated, leaving the reader with just your average, run-of-the-mill " bodyguard falls for his client" story. The first rule of Licking Thicket Club is to *NOT* leave the Thicket.
